Title: Relationships between Electromyography, Sensory and Instrumental Measures of Cheddar Cheese Texture
Abstract: ABSTRACT Cheddar cheeses with a wide range of textural characteristics were differentiated using electromyography (EMG), quantitative descriptive profiling and Instron deformation measurements. Two principal components, accounting for 54% and 24% of the variance in sensory scores respectively, were identified: (1) soft/smooth and hard/coarse, and (2) sticky/mouthcoating and rubbery/chewy. All measured Instron variables discriminated among cheeses and were good predictors of sensory scores. EMG traces of masticatory muscle activity were unique for each subject for different samples, so prediction of sensory perceptions from these data were subject dependent. Correlations between EMG and Instron measurements were observed, but were not consistent from one subject to another.
