Anatomical and Physiological Bases of Food Perception
Lamy, Elsa; Simões, Carla; Caeiro, Inês; Guedes, David; Capela e Silva, FernandoThe perception and appreciation of the sensory qualities of foods largely determine their acceptance by consumers. Food sensory perception starts with the senses and their unique sensory systems, which detect, encode and relay different information inputs to the brain in response to exposure to food stimuli. This chapter describes the anatomical and physiological bases of such processes, from a biological persp...
Sensitive to music? Examining the crossmodal effect of audition on sweet taste ...
Guedes, David; Prada, Marilia; Garrido, Margarida Vaz; Caeiro, Inês; Simões, Carla; Lamy, ElsaPrevious research has shown that music can influence taste perception. While most studies to date have focused on taste intensity ratings, less is known about the influence of musical stimuli on other parameters of taste function. In this within-subjects experiment (N = 73), we tested the effects of three sound conditions (High Sweetness soundtrack – HS; Low Sweetness soundtrack – LS; and Silence – S) on sweet ...
The Influence of (Poly)phenol Intake in Saliva Proteome: Short- and Medium-Term...
Louro, Teresa; Carreira, Laura; Caeiro, Inês; Simões, Carla; Ricardo-Rodrigues, Sara; Rato, Ana Elisa; Capela e Silva, Fernando; Luis, HenriqueThe relationship between salivary proteome and dietary habits was studied in previous works, where a relationship between salivary proteins like cystatins and polyphenol/tannin levels in diet was observed. However, it remains to be elucidated if this association results from an effect of polyphenol-rich food ingestion on saliva composition. The aim of this work was to test the effects of apple intake on the sal...

How different snacks produce a distinct effect in salivary protein composition
Simões, Carla; Caeiro, Inês; Carreira, Laura; Capela e Silva, Fernando; Lamy, ElsaSaliva secretion changes in response to different stimulation. Studies performed in animals and humans suggest that dietary constituents may influence saliva composition, although the dynamics of these changes, and how they are specific for each type of food, are little known. The objective of the present study was to access the short-term effects of different foods in salivation and salivary protein compositio...
