Strategies to enhance saltiness in food involving cross modal interactions
A series of results is reported on cross modal odour-taste interactions as a mean to enhance salty taste in food. Salt-related odours can enhance salty taste in water solutions containing a low level of sodium chloride through odour-induced changes in taste perception. Odour-induced saltiness perception enhancement (OISE) depends on salt concentration (intensity). OISE was also found effective in low-salt content solid model cheese, but texture dependant. A significant saltiness perception enhancement induced by Comté cheese and sardine odours was observed for softer textures only. In ternary odour-sour-salty solutions, sourness enhances saltiness perception additively with salt-related odo…
Enhancing salty taste through odour–taste–taste interactions: Influence of odour intensity and salty tastants’ nature
WOS:000315557500017 ; www.elsevier.com/locate/foodqual; International audience; Decreasing the sodium content in food products without changing consumer acceptability has become an important challenge for the food industry, and several strategies are currently under investigation to reach this goal. This study investigated the effectiveness of saltiness enhancement by an odour to maintain the perception of saltiness in reduced salt content solutions. In the first experiment, we tested the hypothesis that odour intensity drives the level of saltiness enhancement. The results showed that odour can increase the salty intensity by 25%, while no clear influence of odour intensity either in taste…
Cross-modal interactions between taste and smell: Odour-induced saltiness enhancement depends on salt level
International audience; In recent years, health concerns related to salt have led to extensive research on low-salt foods. One major remaining issue is to reduce sodium content while still providing the salty fix, to maintain food appreciation, acceptance and choice. Using well-selected odours has been proposed to compensate for sodium chloride reduction in food, due to the cross-modal interactions between odour and taste. However, interactions between taste and odour, with regards to saltiness, remain poorly investigated. Moreover, although a few studies have assessed the influences of odour and sweet supra-threshold intensity on cross-modal interactions, none focused directly on how they …
PARI 2010-2011 - Projet DINOS "Innovinaroma" ou Mélanges d'odorants et milieux complexes
L'idée est de réaliser une méta-analyse non ciblée de données d'origines multiples afin de prendre en compte à la fois les résultats de l'analyse sensorielle établie sur le concept de typicité mais aussi celles de l'olfactométrie séparative, de l'analyse semi-quantitative, de la chimie des odorants identifiés, de la psychophysique et de l'aromatique alimentaire. Le statut de composés clés porteurs de typicité aromatique, relève de leur présence en mélange dans des gammes de concentrations et dans un environnement à la fois complexe et diversifié propre à la catégorie sensorielle cible. Les approches, dont le but était de faire émerger un tel groupe d'odorants, jusqu'ici trop simplistes ou t…
