Antioxidant Activity and Release Kinetics of Caffeic and p-Coumaric Acids from Hydrocolloid-Based Active Films for Healthy Packaged Food
International audience; Sustainable hydrocolloid-based films containing natural antioxidants, caffeic and p-coumaric acids at different concentrations of 0.5%, 1%, 5%, and 10% w/w of polymers, were designed for packing fatty foods. Antioxidant activities and kinetics for all film formulations were assessed using radical scavenging activity (DPPH), reducing power, and iron chelating ability. Release kinetics of the antioxidants from the films into a food simulant (96% ethanol) were analyzed. The intermolecular interactions between antioxidants and polymers chains were assessed by Fourier transform infrared attenuated total reflectance (FTIR-ATR) and related to the film properties. Antioxidan…
Effect of the temperature on the release of aroma compounds and on the rheological behaviour of model dairy custard
The influence of temperature was pointed out on the release of aroma compounds from a model dairy dessert and on its rheological behaviour. The recipe chosen for inter-laboratory studies within the programme of COST Action 921 was tested. The custards were flavoured with three aroma compounds belonging to strawberry note. The partition coefficients of three compounds (ethyl butyrate, ethyl hexanoate, cis-3-hexenol) were determined at three temperatures (12 °C: tasting temperature of refrigerated dairy products, 20 °C: room temperature, and 37 °C: mouth temperature). Two textures of the custards were obtained using kappa- and iota-carrageenan. Penetrometry tests characterized the rheological…
Sorption kinetic of aroma compounds by edible bio-based films from marine-by product macromolecules: Effect of relative humidity conditions
International audience; Edible films based on gelatin and chitosan have high gas and aroma barrier properties. This study focused on their capability to sorbed/retain aroma compounds (1-hexanal, 2-hexen-1-ol, 1-hexanol, 3-hexanone and phenol) at three relative humidity level (≤2%, 53% or 84% RH). Whatever the relative humidity condition, the order of sorption is keton (3-hexanone) < aldehyde (1-hexanal) < aliphatic alcohols (2-hexen-1-ol and 1-hexanol) < phenol. This order could be related to the intrinsic chemical properties of aroma compounds. The increase in moisture enhanced the sorption at the highest RH for all the aroma compounds. However, a competition between water and aliphatic al…
Solutions properties and solute–solvent interactions in ternary sugar–salt–water solutions
International audience; Viscometric constants were used to provide information on solute-solvent interactions in ternary water-sugar-salt solutions. Comparison was made between pure water and aqueous salt solution as solvents affecting the behaviour of small carbohydrates. The determination of intrinsic viscosity was made more accurate by applying triple extrapolation of the three equations (Huggins. Kramer and Meffroy-Biget). Results obtained with this triple extrapolation method were compared to that obtained with the Jones-Dole equation usually used. The B coefficient of the Jones-Dole equation was interpreted in terms of its components (B(size)) and (B(structure)), respectively assigned…
Modified arabinoxylan-based films. Part B. Grafting of omega-3 fatty acids by oxygen plasma and electron beam irradiation.
Arabinoxylans (AXs) are byproducts of the cereal milling industry. To obtain high-value products, AXs have been used as a film-forming agent. Hence, AX-based films are poor water vapor barriers. The objectives of this study were to graft omega-3 (omega3) fatty acids onto AX polymeric chains by using two new technologies: cold plasma and electron beam (EB) irradiation. Results show that the surface hydrophobicity of the modified films is higher than that of a waxy coating or a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film. In addition, FTIR spectroscopy analysis reveals vibration bands attributed to new chemical functions. Finally, a decrease in water vapor permeability (WVP) is obtained for the film…
Kinetic study of the release of aroma compounds in different model food systems
Abstract Kinetics of release as a function of time from different model food matrices (mineral water, an oil-in-water emulsion, a carbohydrate matrix and a complex matrix containing lipids and carbohydrates) were measured at 37 °C for four flavour compounds. Carbohydrate matrix and complex matrix were elaborated to have a similar rheological behaviour. Flavour compounds belonging to the strawberry flavour note were chosen: a homologous series of ethyl esters (C4, C6 and C8) and a ketone (C5). The influence of the nature of flavour compounds on the kinetics of release was studied. On the other hand, the influence of the composition of the matrix on the kinetics of release was pointed out. Fr…
Effect of environmental humidity and coating on aroma transfer through treated papers
Abstract Coupled transfers of aroma compounds and water vapour were investigated by varying the relative humidity gradient of storage (50% or 90%) of two paper packaging at 25 °C. These papers differed in their coating surface: both were identically impregnated then supercalendered, and only one was twice coated on both sides with a synthetic barrier substance. Permeability and solubility coefficients were determined. The coating treatment was more effective to decrease the permeabilities of water vapour and ethyl ester than the effect of RH. On the contrary, the RH modified the water content of the treated papers and affected more strongly their permeability and solubility to cis-3-hexenol…
Effects of heat treatment and acid-induced gelation on aroma release from flavoured skim milk
Abstract Time dependent aroma release was studied in skim milk, heated skim milk as well as in acid-induced gels derived from them using static headspace – gas chromatography analysis. A variable order kinetic model was fitted to experimental data and was used to determine headspace equilibrium concentration and initial rates of release. When compared to water, retention in milk based matrices was increased for hydrophobic aroma compounds, while it was decreased for more hydrophilic volatiles. Acid gelation reduced the initial rate of aroma release by a factor varying from 2.0 to 3.8, depending on the compound. Positive deviation from the first order kinetics was observed and suggests that …
Influence of the food matrix structure on the retention of aroma compounds.
The retention of the aroma compounds in a multicomponent medium like the food matrix is influenced by their affinity with the protein when lipid is present at a low level (0.5%). The effect of the structure of the media is also studied by using two media with the same composition; one was emusified, and the other was not. Among the studied aroma compounds, 2-nonanone and isoamyl acetate present opposite behaviors: the volatility of isoamyl acetate is not affected by the change of the medium structure whereas that of 2-nonanone increases. The decrease of retention of 2-nonanone in an emulsified system would be due to a modification of the fixation site for this compound on the protein or to …
Aroma behaviour during steam cooking within a potato starch-based model matrix.
To help understand the organoleptic qualities of steam cooked foods, the kinetics of aroma release during cooking in a potato starch based model matrix was studied. Behaviour of components having a major impact in potato flavour were studied using solid phase micro extraction-gas chromatography (SPME-GC). Evolution of microstructure of potato starch model-matrix during steam cooking process was analyzed using environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). Both aroma compounds that are naturally present in starch matrix and those that were added were analyzed. Both the aroma compounds naturally presented and those added had different behaviour depending on their physico-chemical properti…
Transfer of Water and Active Molecules at the Interfaces in Complex Food Systems: Theoretical and Practical Aspects
Abstract During processing, storage and consumption, mass transfer of various molecules (water, gases, flavour compounds or other solutes) occur between the different phases in complex food products, and/or also between the complex food and its surroundings. These mass transfers can lead to physical and/or chemical changes and thus induce food quality modifications. The objective of this presentation is to better understand the behaviour of small molecules at the interfaces, especially in model heterogeneous food systems. Different techniques have been developed to characterize their properties and their impact on the mass transfers. Particularly, techniques such as rotative diffusion cell …
Modified arabinoxylan-based films
Abstract Oxygen plasma and electron beam irradiation were used to graft hydrophobic substances and by this way, to reduce water vapor permeability (WVP) of arabinoxylan-based (AX-based) films. Stearyl acrylate (SA) and stearyl methacrylate (SM) were used as reactive monomers. The homogeneous AX-based films, which were pre-activated by oxygen plasma and impregnated with a solution of SA before being exposed to an electron beam (EB), had contact angles that increased from 71° (untreated films) to 122° (treated films). A decrease of about 24% in the WVP was obtained and new chemical groupings were observed on the FTIR spectra of these films. Acrylate monomers were also dispersed into the arabi…
Physico-Chemical Interactions in the Flavor-Release Process
The perception of flavor is induced by the release of aroma compounds in the vapor phase. The olfactory perception is not only related to the nature of aroma compounds initially present in the food, but also to their distribution between the different phases. After a description of the interactions established between the aroma compounds and different constituents of food, this chapter looks at physico-chemical characteristics of aroma compounds and at the composition and properties of food matrices. Then, in order to understand the behavior of aroma compounds in the matrices, study methods of interactions are described. The assessment of the release is done by determining the partition coe…
Aroma transfers in and through plastic packagings: orange juice andd-limonene. A review. Part I: Orange juice aroma sorption
Orange juice and one of its major volatile constituents, d-limonene, were probably amongst the first food products to be thoroughly studied. Yet, no extensive literature review has been undertaken in order to obtain a general and accurate description of the sorption and diffusion phenomena. This review underlines the effects of packaging on the organoleptic quality of citrus juices; it therefore presents a focused interest on d-limonene mass transfer experimental results with a variety of plastic polymers. Part I deals with first, loss of organoleptic quality of orange juice during storage and d-limonene sorption is discussed. Second, generalites are presented concerning volatiles transfer …
Aroma transfers in and through plastic packagings: orange juice andd-limonene. A review. Part II: overall sorption mechanisms and parameters—a literature survey
Nowadays, the quality of foodstuffs has more than ever included the notion that packaging1 contact is not always wholesome. It can alter the packaged food product by flavour scalping and can also affect the food by off-flavour release. Much research has been carried out to better understand the mass transfers involved with various synthetic polymeric films. Orange juice and one of its major volatile constituents, d-limonene, were probably amongst the first food products to be thoroughly studied. Yet, no extensive literature review has been undertaken in order to obtain a general and accurate description of the sorption and diffusion phenomena. This review underlines the effects of packaging…
Physicochemical properties of vanilla and raspberry aromas microencapsulated in the industrial conditions by spray drying
International audience; Physicochemical properties of powdered vanilla and raspberry complex aromas obtained on industrial conditions by spray drying were investigated. Powders had low water content and activity, promoting long shelf‐life. Aroma retention was lower for vanilla flavors. Raspberry powdered flavors had poorer flowability, lower bulk density, lower particle size, and higher Tg. Additionally, physicochemical properties of powders from various locations of spray dryer (cyclone container/chamber) were compared—powders from the cyclone had higher water content and activity, but the flowability was not affected by collection place. Aromatic substances’ retention of raspberry flavors…
Influence of the composition and the structure of different media on the release of aroma compounds
International audience; The release of 2-nonanone and hexenol (hex-4-en-3-ol) was studied in model media with different structures and compositions: water, a gel of $\beta$-lactoglobulin, gelified or non-gelified emulsions (5.0% Miglyol, 6.9% $\beta$-lactoglobulin; the gelation was realized by heating) and milk. The aroma compounds were analyzed by gas chromatography. A strong influence of the nature of the volatile compound on its behavior towards the food matrix was observed: in the case of 2-nonanone, a hydrophobic compound (log P = 2.9) with a relatively high vapor-water partition coefficient (Kmol = 33.6), the release was greatly influenced by the composition and the structure of the m…
Behavior of Flavor Compounds in Model Food Systems: a Thermodynamic Study
Physicochemical parameters, such as hydrophobicity, water solubility, and volatility, of four flavor compounds (ethyl acetate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl hexanoate, and 2-pentanone) were determined. The amount of flavor compounds released from different model matrices (mineral water, purified triolein, an oil-in-water emulsion, a carbohydrate matrix, and a complex matrix containing lipids and carbohydrates) into the gaseous phase was determined at thermodynamic equilibrium, at 37 degrees C, by static headspace gas chromatography. The degree of interaction between the flavor compounds and the matrix components was shown by measuring the percentage retention using the water matrix as the reference…
