- Roe from the sea urchin Evechinus chloroticus collected from locations in the North (Mathesons Bay) and South (Doubtful Sound) of New Zealand was characterised according to physical characteristics, sensory properties, and volatile composition. Objective assessment of roe sensory properties (appearance, odour, taste, flavour, texture, and aftertaste) was carried out by a trained sensory panel using descriptive sensory analysis. Proton transfer reaction-mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) was used for headspace analysis of roe, and data were collected over the mass range m/z 22-180. Sea urchins from the Northern population were significantly smaller, and had a lower roe index than those from the Southern population. Roe from Northern sea urchins were rated higher for the attributes of marine, seafood and sharp odour, bitter taste, herbaceous and metallic flavour, astringent texture, and metallic, bitter, and duration of aftertaste than roe from Southern sea urchins, which were rated higher for dairy odour, sweet taste, dairy flavour, moisture content and mouth coating. E. chloroticus roe was also differentiated based on gender by 26 sensory attributes. Volatile analysis significantly discriminated between roe from Northern and Southern sea urchins by 35 mass ions, and between genders of Southern sea urchins by five mass ions.

- To be able to deliver customised flavours from cheese matrices that have different textures and compositions, it is important to understand how the cheese matrix affects the perception of flavour. It is known that perceived flavours depend not only on the combination of tastants and aroma compounds in a food, but also on the way in which those flavour compounds are released from the food matrix. In addition, flavour perception can be influenced by cross-modal sensory interactions between taste, aroma and texture. In a collaborative research project between Fonterra Research Centre, The University of Otago in New Zealand and CSIRO in Australia, we are evaluating flavour release and cross-modal sensory interactions in a cheese base. Our aim is to understand how perceived flavour is affected by the texture and composition of the cheese and by the combination of tastants and aroma compounds making up the flavour. Sets of cheese bases were created with similar textures but different compositions, and similar compositions but different textures. Flavour compounds were added, and the equilibrium flavour release was studied using proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry, and related to flavour perception using descriptive sensory analysis.
