The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of fat and flavor (aroma) on the sensory impression of fat. One hundred and six naive subjects rated 4 food systems varying in fat and flavor content (prepared according to a factorial design) for fattiness first without and then with nose clips, and for liking. On average, subjects gave higher fatty scores to the high fat samples. There was a significant effect of flavor concentration on the fattiness ratings without the nose clips; however the effect was product specific. The nose clips significantly reduced the fattiness ratings for all products (p < 0.001), indicating that the flavor components of fat‐based foods can influence fat perception.
