Transfers of small analytes in a multiphasic stirred fruit yoghurt model
International audience; The transfer of small analytes in a multiphasic stirred fruit yoghurt model, made of a pectin gel aimed to mimic fruit pieces and of a dairy gel done with milk acidified by glucono-δ-lactone hydrolysis, have been studied. The concentration gradients between the pectin gel and the dairy gel were the driving force for the migration of small analytes (i.e. water, protons and colorants). Water migrated from the dairy to the pectin gel, causing modifications in the water content of both gels and an equilibration of their water activity at 0.938±0.003. Inversely, protons migrated from the pectin to the dairy gel. These changes in composition of both gels being likely to ha…
Flavour release at the interfaces of stirred fruit yoghurt models
Abstract Model matrices consisting of a pectin and a dairy gel were investigated to study the transfer of flavour compounds between the different phases of stirred fruit yoghurt. Using a full factorial experimental design, different parameters (storage temperature, initial flavour concentration in the pectin gel and fat content of the dairy gel) were studied. The kinetics of the migration of flavour compounds between the two gels were investigated using a novel SPME method, where a Carboxen/Polydimethylsiloxane fibre was directly inserted into the pectin gel. Flavour compounds were predominantly retained in the pectin gel and thus, the presence of fat in the dairy gel did not affect their t…
Requirement for a global design to remove fat from flavoured yoghurts
Abstract The low-fat dairy desserts are generally not so much appreciated as the corresponding products containing fat because of altered flavour and texture characteristics. A review of the influence of fat on these aspects is proposed. Some methods used to correct for flavour imbalances also decrease the texture quality.
Influence of flavour transfer between different gel phases on perceived aroma
International audience; Multiphasic models of stirred fruit yoghurts made from a bilayer that consisted of a pectin and a dairy gel were developed in order to study the transfer of strawberry flavour compounds between the two phases. Several parameters (i.e., the flavour concentration, the fat content of the dairy gel and the storage temperature) affecting flavour compound transfer, using an experimental design, together with their effect on sensory perception were investigated. Strawberry flavour transfer between the two gels was high enough to affect the sensory perception of the dairy gels. The parameters that modified the partitioning of ethyl esters between the pectin and dairy gel (i.…
