Understanding neural pathways and cognitive processes involved in the transformation of dietary fats into sensory experiences has profound implications for nutritional well-being. This study presents an efficient approach to comprehending the neural perception of fat taste using electroencephalogram (EEG). Through the examination of neural responses to different types of fatty acids (FAs) in 45 participants, we discerned distinct neural activation patterns associated with saturated versus unsaturated fatty acids . The spectrum analysis of averaged EEG signals revealed notable variations in δ and α-frequency bands across FA types. The topographical distribution and source localization results suggested that the brain encodes fat taste with specific activation timings in primary and secondary gustatory cortices . Saturated FAs elicited higher activation in cortical associated with emotion and reward processing. This electrophysiological evidence enhances our understanding of fundamental mechanisms behind fat perception, which is helpful for guiding strategies to manage hedonic eating and promote balanced fat consumption .

The characteristic aroma compounds of traditional braised pork were investigated by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry−olfactometry (GC–MS–O), odor-activity values, and aroma recombination and omission experiments. A total of 56 volatile compounds were detected by GC–MS, among which hexanal, octanal, nonanal, ( E )-2-octenal, 2,3-octanedione, 1-octen-3-ol, 2-pentylfuran, methanethiol, and dimethyl trisulfide were identified as the key aroma compounds by molecular sensory science. Partial least squares regression analysis indicated that some aroma compounds significantly contributed to fatty (hexanal, heptanal, 2-pentylfuran, nonanal, and ( E )-2-octenal), meaty (methanethiol, dimethyl disulfide, dimethyl trisulfide, and octanal), sauce-like flavor (3-hydroxy-2-butanone and 2-furfural), and sweet, caramel (2,3-octanedione, 1-octen-3-ol). Lean meat produced more aldehydes, alcohols, ketones, and sulfur-containing compounds than subcutaneous fat. The seasonings (saccharose, cooking wine, and soy sauce) facilitated the formation of ethyl L-lactate, 2-acetylfuran, 2-furfural, 5-methyl-2-furaldehyde, 2-methyl-pyrazine, and 2-acetylpyrrole. Meanwhile they reduced the content of lipid oxidation products, thereby stimulated the characteristic aroma of the Chinese traditional braised pork.
