Capsaicin is receiving increasing interest because of its metabolic enhancing and appetite regulation effects. Studies on formulating
foods with adequate levels of capsaicin and related substances from both sensory and nutrition standpoints may help in developing more
healthy and satisfying foods. In this study time-intensity (TI) evaluation of pork patties was performed to investigate the effect of textures
and two different chili products on the intensity of oral burn and meat flavor of pork patties. The pork patties spiced with chili powder
were perceived significantly hotter (larger Area, Tend and DurDec) and had less pronounced meat flavor than the minced chili patties. A
multivariate PARAFAC2 model showed in agreement with univariate analysis that both chili products masked the meat flavor. No effect
of texture was found on the perceived oral burn or meat flavor. Chili burn and meat flavor were perceived less intense to regular eaters o
