A new approach to sensitivity testing with 4-year olds
2015
In order to have valid results from sensory experiments with pre-schoolers, there is a need to match the sensory test to the abilities of children. A new approach for sensitivity testing with 4- year olds was therefore developed to accommodate their abilities as well as to engage them in the task. Inspired by the principles of authenticity tests, a protocol was designed to induce an affective response to a paired comparison test. This protocol included a story with magical characters, and the children were asked to identify if water samples with different concentrations of diluted basic tastes were “magic” water or regular water. Water was labelled as “magic” to trigger an emotional respons…

La naissance des préférences alimentaires
2012
Pourquoi certains enfants adorent les cornichons alors que d’autres détestent le fromage ? Pourquoi sont-ils si attirés vers le sucré ? Pourquoi certains deviennent difficiles à partir de 2 ans ? Quand doit commencer l’éducation alimentaire ? Comment éveiller le goût des enfants et les accompagner vers l’offre de la table familiale ? Quel est le poids des expériences précoces ? Que faire lorsque les courgettes restent dans l’assiette ? Ces questions viennent souvent aux parents des jeunes enfants, qui sont parfois perplexes quant à l’attitude à adopter. Elles sont aussi abordées de manière plus systématique par les chercheurs. Cet exposé montrera quand et comment les préférences alimentaire…
OPALINE: Observatory of food preferences in infants and children

Could a sensory education improve taste identification, willingness to taste vegetables and food memory in 5 to 7 years-oldchildren?
2013
Résumé 1 p. ; http://www.pangborn2013.com/; International audience; The first objective of this study was to characterise children according to their ability towards taste identification, their willingness to taste usually disliked vegetables and their ability to memorize food previously eaten. Those aspects are assumed to be important in overall food behaviour in children. Three tests for measuring these aspects in 5-7 years-old children were designed. These 3 tests were taken by 160 children aged 5 to 7. First results revealed that children were able to identify 37%, 34%, 29%, 26% and 22% of respectively sweet, salty, umami, bitter and sour taste. One half of children were not willing to …
The role of sensory pleasure in driving eating behaviour in infants and children
2015
Revue; Eating is essential for survival, and we are born well equipped to ensure proper food ingestion. However, learning to eat has to occur quickly, because the mode of feeding evolves dramatically during the first years of life, from tube feeding to family foods, through milk and complementary feeding. Moreover, food likes and dislikes are not inborn, except the enjoyment of the sweet taste: food preferences are learned, essentially during the first years of life. Eating habits established during early years will contribute to the development of subsequent eating habits. For this reason, it is fundamental to understand the most important early periods for the development of eating habits…
Effects of olfactory priming on food choices in children: development of a new paradigm suitable for 6 to 11 year-olds
2016
Introduction: The question of the sensory determinants of food choices remains an open question. A better understanding of non-conscious processes impacting food choices could enable to elaborate new strategies to guide eating behaviors towards healthier food choices. Recent studies in adults (Gaillet et al., 2014; Chambaron et al., 2015) showed that a non-attentively perceived olfactory stimulus can impact subsequent food choices. The present study aims at adapting an olfactory priming paradigm to investigate the effects of non-attentively perceived food odours evoking healthy vs. non-healthy foods on food choices in children. Material and method: Recruitment and experiment are currently i…
