Identification of Key Gin Aroma Compounds
Potential impact aroma compounds of gin have been identified using Gas Chromatogry Olfactometry Mass-Spectrometry (GC-O-MS). In order to select some of them for a recombination study, we developed a specific procedure. Instead of only choosing the compounds on criteria such as their odor quality or their odor activity values, we also used physico-chemical parameters and information on their botanical origin. Data were organized in blocks homogeneous in terms of parameter type. Different statistical treatments were used in order to classify the compounds either by analyzing the parameters altogether or separately block by block.

An original approach for gas chromatography-olfactometry detection frequency analysis: Application to gin
Abstract Gas Chromatography-Olfactometry (GC-O) is a technique that lies halfway between physicochemical and sensory analysis and involves the perception of volatile flavour compounds, separated by gas chromatography, by the human nose. Of the different GC-O procedures available, detection frequency has been proved to be more rapid and more repeatable, even with an untrained panel. This characteristic regarding the panel is often not considered when dealing with the sensory attributes determined by assessors. An original approach to GC-O using the detection frequency procedure has been developed and tested on two types of gin and made it possible to benefit from sensory data. The panel cons…

L'arôme du gin : identification des composés clés et rôle des matières premières
Le texte intégral de cette thèse est confidentiel à durée indéfinie.; Afin d’identifier les composés responsables de l’arôme du gin, une procédure GC-O-MS se basant sur la fréquence de détection a été développée. Elle a permis de déterminer l’intensité odorante des composés volatils. Leur qualité d’odeur a pu être définie par le développement d’une roue des odeurs utilisée pour catégoriser les descripteurs obtenus. Cette approche nous a dans un premier temps permis d’identifier les composés potentiellement importants pour l’arôme du gin. L’origine de ces composés a ensuite été déterminée par l’étude de la fraction volatile de différents « botanicals » appartenant à la recette du gin. Cette …
