    Abstract:
    The mouthfeel and texture of dairy and non-dairy yoghurts play a critical role in food acceptance and liking. The present study aimed to understand the oral perception of commercially available dairy and non-dairy yoghurts. Four dairy and four non-dairy yoghurts with different levels of protein and fat were analyzed to understand the impact of particle size, textural properties and frictional coefficient on the dynamic sensory mouthfeel characteristics measured by the temporal dominance of sensations (TDS) method. Differences in friction coefficients of dairy and non-dairy yoghurts were observed. The friction factor was lower for high-fat dairy yoghurts than for non-dairy yoghurts. The particle size d90 in yoghurts was positively related to graininess perception (r=0.81) and negatively associated with mouthfeel liking (r=-0.87) and overall liking (r=-0.80). For the TDS results, "creaminess" and "thickness" were significantly dominant for dairy yoghurts, while "melty" and "easy to dissolve" were dominant attributes for non-dairy yoghurts. Creaminess perception improves the mouthfeel liking (r=0.72) and overall liking (r=0.59) of yoghurts and is the driver of liking. The findings of this study help understand the intrinsic mouthfeel properties of commercial dairy and non-dairy yoghurts, which will provide valuable insight to product developers during the new product formulation.
