Hot and round: How temperature and shape impact the multisensory appreciation of cornmeal by Juravle, G, Duca, R, Feghiuș, C, Spence, C

“…In a between-participants experimental design conducted in an ecologically-valid restaurant setting, we investigated the appreciation of differently-shaped pieces of cornmeal (rounded vs. rectangular) for different serving temperatures (room-temperature vs. hot presentation). 282 participants (165 female, mean age of 37 years, SD = 11 years, age range 17–62 years) tasted the cornmeal and evaluated it with respect to several sensorial qualities (i.e., temperature, wetness, texture, elasticity, and liking) and indicated the perceived dominant taste from amongst the five basic tastes. …”

Current affairs: a security measurement study of CCS EV charging deployments by Szakály, M, Köhler, S, Martinovic, I
