    Abstract

    The transfer of odorants from the oral to the nasal cavity was studied during food consumption by observation of the swallowing process using videofluoroscopic and real-time MRI (magnetic resonance imaging)-methodologies. Together with the application of the SOOM (spit-off odorant measurement)-technique, the exact timing of odorant transfer to the nose as well as the phenomenon of odorant adsorption to oral mucosa were investigated thus revealing a new understanding of flavor perception as it is caused during the eating process.
