Âge, perception chimiosensorielle et préférences alimentaires
2010
Revue non indexée dans le JCR.; National audience; Le vieillissement s’accompagne d’un déclin des sensibilités olfactives et gustatives (sensibilités chimiosensorielles). Or, lorsque nous mangeons, la saveur et l’odeur d’un aliment contribuent largement au plaisir associé à son ingestion. Plusieurs auteurs ont fait l’hypothèse que le déclin des capacités chimiosensorielles observé chez les seniors conduirait à des modifications des préférences alimentaires, celles-ci entraînant à leur tour des changements de l’appétit et de la prise alimentaire. Effectivement, lorsque les préférences sont mesurées à un instant t, les seniors tendent à préférer des aliments ayant une flaveur plus intense. C…
Identification of tasty compounds of cooked cured ham : physico-chemical and sensory approaches
1997
Abstract Tasty compounds from meat have not been studied in depth. The aim of this work was to isolate, identify and quantify tasty compounds from cooked cured ham and to link them to the sensory evaluations of the fractions from which they are extracted. The extraction of the water-soluble fraction from ham was done by an hydraulic press. The crude extract was ultrafiltered and both gel filtration and nanofiltration allowed to obtain edible fractions. Some links between the physicochemical and sensory data have been found, in particular, the umami taste was related to the presence of IMP and monosodium glutamate. The direct influence of proteolytic peptides on this taste is discussed. More…
On the consistency of liking scores: a validation study run in France and Germany
2005
International audience; A validation study was performed to confirm the findings of a previous experiment, by enlarging it at younger age groups. The study was conducted in France and Germany. Monadic preferences for seven orange juices were recorded. Three of the samples were replicates of the same juice (RJ). The four others were RJ slightly spiked with chemicals. Each subject then performed a paired preference test composed of RJ and the modified juice whose score was the furthest from the RJ score. Finally, subjects had to choose one among eight reasons why they preferred that sample. The effects of age, gender and country on the consistency of liking scores were examined. Most of the f…
The antimicrobial activity of honey and propolis extracts from the central region of Romania
2021
Abstract Honey and propolis from Apis mellifera (bees) are products that have been used due to their multiple biological properties. The antimicrobial activity of 10 honey samples of known origin and 4 propolis extracts gathered from the same beekeepers located in Transylvania, Romania, were used against certain microorganisms: Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Candida albicans. The study also investigated the positive interaction of propolis aqueous extracts when used with poly-floral honey against the same microorganisms. The most sensitive to the activity of honey samples was the S. aureus strain (the largest inhibition area 18 mm) for p…

The Dynamics of Aroma Release during the Consumption of Candies with Different Structures
2014
This chapter aims at investigating the role of candy texture on the dynamics of aroma release using dynamic instrumental and sensory methods. The highest in vivo release, monitored using proton transfer reaction mass spectrometry (PTR-MS), was obtained for the 2% gelatin sample for all aroma compounds. The temporal dominance of sensations (TDS) method highlighted that the dominant sensation for the liquid product was the “strawberry” note. For other products, the temporal characteristics of perceptions were more complex. Data highlighted that aroma release resulted from interaction between product properties and oral behavior. Some relations with the dynamics of perception have been establi…
Interactions between volatiles and lipids in complex systems
1998
Partition equilibria of three aroma compounds in three different biphasic systems were studied by a liquid/liquid partition technique to investigate interactions that occur between volatiles and lipids in biphasic solutions. The lipids used were linoleic acid and ricinoleic acid and tetradecane as a model. The three aroma compounds were ethyl acetate, 2,5-dimethylpyrazine, and oct-1-en-3-ol. The results showed that the intermolecular forces involved were weak. Infrared spectroscopy was then performed on binary systems (tetradecane and linoleic acid or aroma compound) and on ternary systems (tetradecane, linoleic acid, and aroma compound) to determine the nature of the interactions. This met…
Effects of Food Label Health and Nutrition Claims on Consumer Perceptions
2009
Two experiments are reported that examined consumers' perceptions of food package labels where health and nutrition claims were present and where they had been removed. Unlike previous studies examining the influence of information on perception, realistic materials were used. This was accomplished by presenting information on a computer as photo-realistic images of packages where claims had been removed by editing to give a without-claims condition. Automatic presentation of materials and data collection meant participants proceeded through the computer questionnaire without the presence of an experimenter. The experiment was conducted with both British and French consumers. No significant…
Antioxidant activity and phenolic composition in pomegranate (Punica granatumL.) genotypes from south Italy by UHPLC-Orbitrap-MS approach
2018
Background: Pomegranate fruits are a rich source of polyphenols with numerous health-promoting effects. Pomegranate juices of five genotypes ('Mollar', 'Kingdom', 'Dente di Cavallo', and two old populations 'Francofonte' and 'Santa Tecla') were evaluated regarding anthocyanin and non-anthocyanin phenolic contents using ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-Orbitrap-mass spectrometry (MS). Moreover, total antioxidant activity (TAA) was evaluated using a 2,2'-azinobis(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) diammonium salt (ABTS) assay.; Results: Twenty-three phenolic compounds were identified. Cyanidin-3,5-O-diglucoside and pelargonidin-3,5-O-diglucoside were the most represent…
« Nez et langues électroniques » : bilan et perspectives pour les huiles alimentaires
2003
Le « Nez electronique », et plus recemment la « Langue electronique » ont ete fort mediatises durant la derniere decennie. Aussi est-il necessaire, avec le recul, de faire le point sur les benefices que ces technologies peuvent apporter dans le domaine des produits alimentaires, et en particulier pour huiles vegetales. On trouve une litterature relativement abondante dans ce domaine, mais les applications qui ont reussi a franchir le cap de l’utilisation industrielle sont extremement restreintes. S’agit-il d’une frilosite des industriels pour des investissements de controle-qualite ou d’un manque de fiabilite des resultats de laboratoire ? Pourtant, la demande en outils rapides de controle-…
