The present invention relates to an artificial throat for simulating aroma release comprising - a tube (1) having an inlet (2) and an outlet (3) and having an upper portion (4), a middle portion (5) and a lower portion (6); - a sample supply system (12) debouching at the upper portion of the tube; - an inlet closure (9) for closing and opening the inlet; - an outlet closure (10 ) for closing and opening the outlet; - a gas ventilation system (13) debouchi ng at the lower portion of the tube for providing a gas flow, such as an air flow, through the tube. The invention also relates to an assembly for simulating and analyzing aroma release comprising an artificial throat and a n analyzing apparatus, such as a mass-spectrometer. Furthermore the invention relates to a method for simulating and analyzing aroma release by means of a n artificial throat. Aroma release according to the invention means the releas e of volatile compounds from substances such as food and drinks, which compoun ds are transported by means o a gas flow.
