Research of Sensory Science and Eating Behaviour
The research of the Sensory Science & Eating behaviour group is focused around three research lines. The research of the group is embedded in the Wageningen VLAG Graduate School (research with focus on Biobased, Biomolecular, Food and Nutrition Sciences).
Research themes
Food structure and sensory perception
We investigate how food structure, oral processing and sensory perception influence eating behaviour.
Food-Gut-Brain
How do metabolic signals of the food-gut-brain interplay influence the physiological and neurobiological responses underlying eating behaviour?
Food preferences across the life-span
We study how food preferences and sensory perception develop and play a role in our daily life and how these sensory properties influence healthy food choices.
