“…Therefore, retronasal aroma (RA), which is caused by flavor compounds traveling from the mouth to the nasal cavity via the nasopharynx and the lungs, is important for flavor perception. A retronasal aroma simulator (RAS) was developed by Roberts and Abbreviations AC; aseptic-cup, AL; aluminum, ANOVA; analysis of variance, DCM; dichloromethane, E-nose; electronic nose, EVOH; ethylene vinyl alcohol copolymer, FD factor; flavor dilution factor, GC-MS; gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, GC-O; gas chromatographyolfactometry, HSD; honestly significant difference, OBS; oral breath sampling, PET; polyethylene terephthalate, PS; polystyrene, RA; retronasal aroma, RAS; retronasal aroma simulator, RO; reverse osmosis, RSD; relative standard deviation, SIM; selected ion monitoring, SPME; solid-phase microextraction, TBA; tetra brick aseptic, UHT; ultra-high-temperature Acree (1995) for use as one of various mouth models (van Ruth et al, 1994;Roberts and Acree, 1995;Elmore and Langley, 1996). These are useful tools for the study of RAs, in addition to other methods such as breath-by-breath analysis (Graus et al, 2001) and oral breath sampling (OBS) (Roozen and Legger-Huysman, 1995).…”
