Flavor: From Food to Behaviors, Wellbeing and Health, Second Edition presents the different mechanisms of flavor perception.

Broken into four parts, the first begins with coverage of flavor release in humans. Part two addresses flavor perception, from molecules to receptors and brain integration. Part three analyzes flavor perception, preferences and food intake. Finally, part four considers flavor perception and physiological status.

Academics working in the areas of sensory science, food quality, nutrition and human sciences, as well as research and development professionals and nutritionists, will benefit from this important revised reference.

Part two: Flavor perception, from molecule to receptor and brain integration 5. Taste perception and integration 6. Olfactory function of nasal odorant metabolism 7. Olfactory perception and integration 8. Multimodal integration 9. Brain processing 10. Holistic perception and memorization of flavor

Part three: Flavor perception, preferences and food intake 11. Learning of human flavor preferences 12. Relationships between early flavor/texture exposure, and food acceptability and neophobia 13.
