- Abstract
In-mouth volatile release from flavoured water was followed using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization–mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) or using a hand-held, computer-controlled device based on sequential trapping of flavours on Tenax traps. The present results verify recent in vitro data obtained with a sophisticated, fully computerized mouth model apparatus and confirm its validity for the simulation of in-mouth dynamic volatile release. In-nose APCI-MS measurements showed considerable person-to-person variability in non-trained individuals during drinking due to subconscious control of muscles during swallowing and subsequent breathing. Data showed a ‘swallow breath’ volume reaching the nasal cavity from the throat, not from the mouth cavity. Flavour enriched air from the mouth was shown to be transported to the nose (via exhalation) immediately after the swallowing event, but the dynamic process of volatile equilibration between residuals of the swallowed liquid and the exhaled air predominantly determined volatile in-nose concentration. Owing to its dynamic character, the process of volatile equilibration and release in the throat upon exhalation should be similar to the in-mouth process studied in the present work. A full mechanical simulation of retronasal volatile transport, however, will remain difficult.
