Development of a model mouth containing an artificial tongue to measure the release of volatile compounds

► Novel model mouth design to investigate aroma release during oral processing ► Computer controlled artificial tongue capable of mimicking human tongue pressure patterns ► The model incorporates oral conditions including temperature, saliva, air flow, etc. ► Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are on-line monitored using PTR-MS. ► The tongue material and volume sample were evaluated for their effect on VOC release.
