Brain mechanisms of the odor-induced taste enhancement in people living with normalweight and obesity: sensory and electroencephalography studies
2022
Some odors have the property of enhancing the taste perception, whether it is sweet, salty, acidic or umami. It is therefore possible to enhance the perception of a taste by using odorant ingredients in food. The integration of taste and odor results in the perception of a unique quality for the food, called the flavor. The mechanism that results from this integration, called odor-induced taste enhancement (OITE), has been little studied in the literature in normal weight (NW) and obese (OB) individuals. It has been observed that the odor-induced taste enhancement is higher in OB compared to NP, for a single product tested. The brain structures involved in OITE have already been identified,…
Multidisciplinary approach to explore interactions in odor mixture perception
2023
Odors and aromas perceived in food and in the environment result from the processing of complex chemical mixtures of volatile compounds that should be efficiently processed by the olfactory system. It is known for decades that this processing generates perceptual interactions, such as masking, synergy, or perceptual blending, which contribute to elaborating a synthetic brain representation of the chemical information. Nevertheless, the perceptual processes underlying these interactions are still poorly known. In this project, we set out a multidisciplinary approach to identify the characteristics of odorants and olfactory receptors (ORs) that could support perceptual interactions. We hypoth…
