Exploring the network of odours shared by an aroma blending mixture
2019
International audience; The first step of odour perception is an interaction between odorants and olfactory receptors [1]. Moreover, odours perceived in our environment are mainly the result of mixtures of odorants; however, the specific mechanisms involved in their processing remain poorly understood [2]. In previous studies performed at INRA-CSGA [3], the perception of a mixture of ethyl isobutyrate (Et-iB, strawberry-like odour, STR) and ethyl maltol (Et-M, caramel-like odour, CAR) was investigated in comparison with a reference (allyl hexanoate, Al-H, pineapple-like odour, PNA) chosen to evoke an odour close to the one expected in the mixture. The binary specific mixture of Et-iB and Et…
Exploring of odor blending in odorant mixtures by a pharmacophore approach
2015
The first step of odor perception is an interaction between odorants and olfactory receptors (ORs) [1]. It is now accepted that the main strategy used by Humans to perceive thousands of odors results from a combinatorial coding [2]. Moreover, odors we perceived in our environment are mainly the result of mixtures of odorants; however, the processes involved remain poorly understood [3]. In previous studies performed in the CSGA of Dijon[4, 5], the perception of a mixture of specific proportions of ethyl isobutyrate (Et-iB, strawberry-like odor) and ethyl maltol (Et-M, caramel-like odor) was investigated in comparison with a reference (allyl hexanoate, Al-H, pineapple-like odor) chosen to ev…
Exploring the odorant and molecular characteristics of molecules sharing the odour notes of an aroma blending mixture
2021
Online event (Live and on-demand); International audience; To perceive a huge number of odors from few hundreds ORs, the human olfactory system encodes odor identities by an olfactory scheme whereby one olfactory receptor (OR) recognizes multiple odorants while one odorant activates different combinations of ORs [1, 2]. Odors perceived in our environment are mainly the result of mixtures of odorants, but the specific mechanisms involved in their processing remain poorly understood [3]. In previous studies performed at INRAE-CSGA [4], the perception of a mixture of ethyl isobutyrate (Et iB, strawberry-like odor, STR) and ethyl maltol (Et-M, caramel-like odor, CAR) was investigated in compari…

The role of the disposition of the recycled polymer on the properties of films for greenhouses coverage
2010
Multilayer films, by using postconsumer materials in the central layer, i.e., multilayer composition: virgin polyethylene/postconsumer polymer/virgin polyethylene, allows to get a film for greenhouses coverage with good mechanical properties and photo-oxidation resistance, similar to that of the films made from virgin material and certainly better than the photo-oxidation resistance of the film made melt blending the virgin polyethylene and the postconsumer polymer. Moreover, the disposition of the postconsumer polymer containing oxygenated groups only in the central layer determines a significant slowdown of the photo-oxidation process of the multilayer film although faster than of the pri…
Reactions Occurring during the Melt Mixing of Nylon 6 and Oxazoline−Cyclophosphazene Units
2009
Specific reactions of amino and carboxyl end groups of Nylon 6 with the reactive oxazoline groups belonging to a cyclophosphazene compound (referred as CP20XA) were carried out at 240 °C for different times, under inert atmosphere. Ny6 polymers terminated with one specific reactive chain end (-COOH or NH2) were reacted with different amounts of CP20XA to study the kinetic order of the reactions. All Ny6-CP20XA reacted products soluble in trifluoroethanol (TFE) were well characterized by MALDI-TOF MS, FT-IR and ( 1H and 13C) NMR techniques. The MALDI-TOF results show that the oxazoline rings react with the carboxyl chain ends of Ny6 following second-order kinetics. The reactions with amino c…

Games as Blends : Understanding Hybrid Games
2017
The meaning of what hybrid games are is often fixed to the context in which the term is used. For example, hybrid games have often been defined in relation to recent developments in technology. This creates issues in the terms usage and limitations in thinking. This paper argues that hybrid games should be understood through conceptual metaphors. Hybridity is the blending of different cognitive domains that are not usually associated together. Hybrid games usually blend domains related to games, for example digital and board games, but can blend also other domains. Through viewing game experiences as blends from different domains, designers can understand the inherent hybridity in various t…
