(author)Probing food experience or liking through verbal ratings has its shortcomings. We compare explicit ratings to a range of (neuro)physiological and behavioral measures with respect to their performance in distinguishing drinks associated with different emotional experience. Seventy participants tasted and rated the valence and arousal of eight...article 2019

van der Zwaan, B.C.C. (author), Halstead, M. (author), Kober, M. (author)Energy, water, and food systems have so far mostly been studied independently. In this chapter, we argue that it is important to take an “energy-water-food nexus approach” to analyzing these three resource systems. After briefly introducing the emerging literature on the energy-water-food nexus, we inspect the interrelationship between energy...conference paper 2019

Birot, S. (author), Madsen, C.B. (author), Kruizinga, A.G. (author), Crépet, A. (author), Christensen, T. (author), Brockhoff, P.B. (author)To prevent allergic reactions, food producers have to be able to make a knowledge based decision on whether to label their products with precautionary labelling. As many manufactured food products are sold in different countries across Europe, the allergen risk assessment should be estimated at the European levels. As currently, there are no pan...article 2018
