Mouthfeel occurs at macro, cellular and molecular scales. Biophysical approaches, including atomic force microscopy, offer tools to explore the mechanisms of oral mechanosensation for informing food product development and outlining the definition of flavour.
Unlike nitrogen and phosphorus, potassium has received little attention despite being key to food security and ecosystem health. This Perspective proposes six actions concerning potassium deficiency, potash price volatility and potash mining.
Harmonization of front-of-pack nutrition labelling systems with national food-based dietary guidelines and the latest scientific evidence ensures the accuracy of the information provided to consumers.
