Chewing simulation: a way to understand relationships between mastication, food breakdown and flavour release
2008
International audience; Flavour release during eating foods is mainly function of the physico-chemical properties of the food matrix and of what occurs in mouth during the chewing process. The understanding of in-mouth mechanisms leading to food breakdown should help to understand flavour release phenomenon.
Influence of flavour transfer between different gel phases on perceived aroma
2007
International audience; Multiphasic models of stirred fruit yoghurts made from a bilayer that consisted of a pectin and a dairy gel were developed in order to study the transfer of strawberry flavour compounds between the two phases. Several parameters (i.e., the flavour concentration, the fat content of the dairy gel and the storage temperature) affecting flavour compound transfer, using an experimental design, together with their effect on sensory perception were investigated. Strawberry flavour transfer between the two gels was high enough to affect the sensory perception of the dairy gels. The parameters that modified the partitioning of ethyl esters between the pectin and dairy gel (i.…
Pellets based on polyuronates: Relationship between gelation and release properties
2017
International audience; Three polyuronates: amidated low methoxyl pectin (ALMP), low methoxyl pectin (LMP) and polygalacturonic acid (PGA) were used to encapsulate rutin in pellets, and they were characterized by different techniques (macroscopic properties, Calcium and rutin release). The ability of the three polyuronates to bind calcium ions and the viscoelastic properties of gels were performed to relate the properties of the pellets to the gel structures. The pellets size, the water content, the water uptake, the release of calcium and rutin varied depending on the polyuronate used. The pellets size of ALMP were smaller than LMP and PGA with a lower water content, but this matrix was mo…
Retention/release equilibrium of aroma compounds in fat-free dairy gels
2010
BACKGROUND: The replacement of fat by thickeners in fat-free yoghurts leads to an important modification of aroma compound partitioning, with an impact on aroma perception. Investigation of retention/release equilibria allows a good understanding of aroma compound behaviour depending on food composition. RESULTS: Vapour/liquid equilibria of ten aroma compounds (two esters, two ketones, three aldehydes and three alcohols) in several media were studied to investigate the influence of pectin addition to fat-free dairy gel on the retention/release equilibrium. The partition coefficient of each aroma compound was measured by headspace analysis at equilibrium in six media (pure water, low-methoxy…
Influence of low methoxyl pectin gel textures and in vitro release of rutin from calcium pectinate beads.
2013
This study described the preparation and characterization of low methoxyl pectin (LMP) gels and beads for controlled release applications. The rheological characterization of the various formulations was proposed. Then the mechanical and morphological characterizations of beads were determined. Finally, the controlled release studies taking rutin as a model drug was evaluated. The results showed that Young's modulus values of non-amidated LMP gels decrease when adding up to 15% sorbitol. Calcium pectinate beads loaded with rutin are about 600 μm, oblong shaped with dense matrix. Beads containing sodium bicarbonate showed about 80% lower rutin encapsulation efficiency by increasing the pH of…
Mesoporous silica microparticles gated with a bulky azo derivative for the controlled release of dyes/drugs in colon.
2018
[EN] Mesoporous silica microparticles were prepared, loaded with the dye safranin O (M-Saf) or with the drug budesonide (M-Bud) and capped by the grafting of a bulky azo derivative. Cargo release from M-Saf at different pH values (mimicking those found in the gastrointestinal tract) in the absence or presence of sodium dithionite (a reducing agent mimicking azoreductase enzyme present in the colon) was tested. Negligible safranin O release was observed at pH 6.8 and 4.5, whereas a moderate delivery at pH 1.2 was noted and attributed to the hydrolysis of the urea bond that linked the azo derivative onto the external surface of the inorganic scaffold. Moreover, a marked release was observed w…
First volatile inventory for Gorely volcano, Kamchatka
2012
[1] We report here the very first assessment of volatile flux emissions from Gorely, an actively degassing volcano in Kamchatka. Using a variety of in situ and remote sensing techniques, we determined the bulk plume concentrations of major volatiles (H2O ∼93.5%, CO2, ∼2.6%, SO2 ∼2.2%, HCl 1.1%, HF 0.3%, H20.2%) and trace-halogens (Br, I), therefore estimating a total gas release of ∼11,000 tons·day−1during September 2011, at which time the target was non-eruptively degassing at ∼900°C. Gorely is a typical arc emitter, contributing 0.3% and 1.6% of the total global fluxes from arc volcanism for CO2 and HCl, respectively. We show that Gorely's volcanic gas (H2O/SO2 ∼43, CO2/SO2 ∼1.2, HCl/SO2∼…
Drug release from α,β-poly(N-2-hydroxyethyl)-DL-aspartamide based microparticles
2004
Spherical pH-sensitive microparticles have been prepared by reverse phase suspension polymerization technique. Starting polymer has been alpha,beta-poly(N-2-hydroxyethyl)-dl-aspartamide (PHEA) partially derivatized with glycidylmethacrylate (GMA). PHEAGMA copolymer (PHG) has been crosslinked in the presence of acrylic acid (AA) or methacrylic acid (MA) at various concentration. The obtained microparticles have been characterized by FT-IR spectrophotometry, particle size distribution analysis and scanning electron microscopy. In order to have information about water affinity of the prepared samples, swelling measurements have been carried out in aqueous media which simulate some biological f…
