Modelling the early determinants of food preferences in the OPALINE cohort

2012

Diaporama confidentielDiaporama confidentiel; The OPALINE project aimed at understanding the determining factors of the development of food preferences and eating behaviour up to the age of 2 years by following a cohort of children with a longitudinal recording of perinatal and postnatal feeding experiences, of children’s sensitivity to food tastes and odours and of parental feeding practices. The aim was to conjointly analyse the datasets to draw an overall picture of these potential determinants of food preferences and of their relative weight over the course of the first two years.The recruitment of a cohort of children (N=314) was conducted thanks to the help of local health and childho…

Interaction of the n-terminal domain of human t1r2 taste receptor with brazzein, a sweet-tasting protein

2015

Brazzein is a small (6.5 kDa) sweet-tasting protein originating from the fruit of Pentadiplandra brazzeana, a plant found in West Africa. Brazzein like all classes of sweet compounds is perceived through the activation of the T1R2/T1R3 heterodimeric sweet-taste receptor. T1R2 and T1R3 subunits are members of the small family of class C G-protein coupled receptors (GPCRs). Class C GPCRs possess a large N-terminal domain (NTD) linked to seven transmembrane domain by a cysteine rich domain (CRD). The NTD of T1R2 (T1R2-NTD) has been shown to contain the primary binding site for most of the sweet ligands. However, brazzein has been shown to require CRD of human T1R3 for receptor activation [1]. …

Early development of taste and flavor preferences and consequences on eating behavior

2018

The first 1000 days of life constitute an important period for development of health and eating behavior, in particular because the mode of feeding drastically evolves, which involves that the child has to learn “how” to eat, but also “what” to eat, “how” much food to eat. After birth, when foods are orally exposed, infants discover the intrinsic properties of foods, with a variety of tastes, flavors, textures, as well as energy densities. Here we focus on deciphering the involvement of taste and olfaction in the early establishment of eating behavior. In the OPALINE French birth cohort (Observatory of Food Preferences in Infants and Children), taste and flavor preferences were studied in c…

Role of human metabolizing enzymes in food perception

2022

Flavor is the main factor determining food acceptability. Flavor corresponds to the combination of the signals from the gustatory system, the olfactory system and the trigeminal system. Interactions between proteins and flavor molecules in oral/nasal cavities are proposed to modulate flavor perception through a series of events knowns as perireceptor events. Among these proteins involved in this modulation are found enzymes mainly known for their role in the detoxification process. These enzymes are able to recognize a large panel of molecules. We proposed to explore the role of these enzymes in food perception. We demonstrated that enzymatic activities present in the oral epithelium and sa…
