Article Abstract
Atypical sensory responses and seeking behaviors constitute the core symptoms of autism spectrum condition (ASC). There are possible links between atypical sensory profiles and attentional challenges in ASC. Due to the paucity of studies in adults, the nature of attentional challenges and their associations with sensory profiles in autistic adults remain elusive. Here, we investigated sustained attention performance and its associations with sensory profiles in 28 autistic adult males and 23 typically developing controls (TDCs). A gradual-onset continuous performance task and the Adolescent/Adult Sensory Profile were employed to assess sustained attention performance and sensory profiles, respectively. Our results revealed that the two groups exhibited comparable sustained attention performance quantified by d-prime. A statistically significant negative correlation between d-prime and sensory seeking was observed only in the ASC group. Moreover, an interaction effect of group-by-sensory seeking was observed in d-prime, suggesting a unique interplay between sensory profiles and attention in autistic individuals. In the ASC group, omission error rate and post-error slowing were statistically significantly associated with difficulties in social communication and interactions. These results contribute to understanding attentional processes in ASC and highlight the potential influence of sensory profiles on cognitive functions in this population.

This study investigates the impact of a defined starter culture on the fermentation of cocoa beans and its influence on the production of volatile and non-volatile compounds related to sensory quality. A microbial consortium comprising Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Pichia kudriavzevii, Levilactobacillus brevis, and Acetobacter okinawensis was selected based on their enzymatic activity and acid regulation properties. Fermentation trials showed that the starter culture enhanced the synthesis of key volatile compounds, particularly esters and higher alcohols, such as 2-phenylethanol and 2-phenylethyl acetate, which contribute floral and fruity aromas.

The current work aimed to investigate the effects of fermentation of , , and on the physicochemical, electronic sensory evaluation, and flavour characteristics of heat-sterilized tomato juice (HTJ). The results indicated that LAB fermentation significantly decreased the pH, sucrose, and glucose, and lactic acid was increased. E-nose and tongue analyses revealed that the response to organic sulfides, terpenoids, and sourness increased after LAB fermentation HS-SPME-GC-MS and OAV revealed that heat-sterilization resulted a significant loss of aroma compounds (38.

Unlabelled: Soy whey, a tofu production byproduct rich in nutrients, is typically discarded. This study investigated five natural lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains isolated from spontaneously fermented soy whey (FSW) for their fermentation performance in soy whey medium. The growth characteristics, total phenols and flavonoids compounds, antioxidant activities, and aroma profiles were evaluated.

Unlabelled: A complex enzyme mixture of papain, neutral protease, and flavor protease was used to treat sesame meal at 50 °C for 3 h, yielding four peptide fractions (PF) with distinct molecular weight distributions of PF1 (> 10 kDa), PF2 (3-10 kDa), PF3 (1-3 kDa), and PF4 (< 1 kDa). and xylose were added to peptide mixtures heated to 120 °C in an oil bath for 120 min to form Maillard reaction product (MRP). PF4 peptides (< 1 kDa) had a substantial impact on pH, color, and browning intensity, whereas PF3 peptides (1-3 kDa) improved the meat-like flavor, mouth fullness, and umami taste.
