Taste and flavour perception in mayonnaise-type emulsion of various fat level

This study is focused on investigating the effect of gradual changes in oil level and kind of mayonnaise-type emulsions obtained experimentally on the release of flavour substances and subsequently their sensory perception. Sensory analysis showed that lowering of the fat content of o/w emulsions caused a decrease in the intensity of three basic gustatory sensations of the same stimuli concentration, with the exception of olfactory stimulation. The kind of oil and its fatty acid composition bad no effect on the above tendency.
