L'intégration multisensorielle comme stratégie pour compenser la réduction en sodium et matière grasse dans les aliments

2015

In recent years;health authorities worldwide advise for a reduction of salt and fat in daily food consumption. However;foods with reduced salt and fat content are often not appreciated by consumers;Therefore;the formulation of low-salt-fat foods that maintain acceptability is a major concern in food research. In this thesis;the multi-sensory integration and release kinetics of flavor compounds were explored as strategies to compensate for salt and fat reduction in cheese products (model cheeses and real cheeses). The objective was to better understand the mechanisms leading to aroma and salt release during mastication and to evaluate how the matrix composition and structure influence salt a…

Influence of functionalization on interaction and drug release from α,β-polyaspartylhydrazide derivatives to a biomembrane model: evaluation by diffe…

2004

Abstract A comparative study on the ability of various polymers to interact with a biomembrane model was carried out by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The investigated samples were a water soluble polymer, the α,β-polyaspartylhydrazide (PAHy) and its derivatives containing polyethylene glycol (PEG2000) (sample PAHy–PEG2000), or hexadecylamine (C16) (sample PAHy–C16) or both compounds (sample PAHy–PEG2000–C16). Some samples are able to arrange themselves as micellar structures and to interact potentially with the membrane surface so as to favor the release of the drug near the target membrane and consequently to improve drug adsorption processes. First, the interaction of all polym…

Water-induced local ordering of chitosan polymer chains in thin layer films

2015

International audience; Carbon-13 NMR (CP-MAS and FSLG 1H–13C HETCOR) have been applied to chitosan salt films synthesized in acetic acid and exposed to different relative humidity environments (32% or 75%) at 20 °C for 1 month. It gives insight in the relationship between structure and functional properties according to the hydration level of this biomaterial as a film. The acetate ions trapped in the chitosan act as structuring agents between chitosan chains for the low hydration state. But, increasing the moisture content induces spontaneous removal of acetic acid and a subsequent modification in the film structure, with an increase in local ordering. HETCOR experiments also showed a mul…

Chemical gels of scleroglucan obtained by cross-linking with 1,w-dicarboxylic acids: Synthesis and characterization

2005

Chemical gels obtained by cross-linking reaction between scleroglucan and I, omega-dicarboxylic acids having a number of carbon atoms from 4 to 8 in the chain, have been prepared and characterised. The networks show properties correlated with the number of carbon atoms of the acid and with the molar ratio carboxylic acid/glucose unit of the polymer (r) employed in the cross-linking reaction. The diffusion of theophylline, chosen as model drug, through the swelled cross-linked polymers has been also investigated and it has enabled the diffusion coefficients of the drug to be calculated under different environmental conditions. The release profiles of theophylline from tablets prepared with t…

Photocleavable microcapsules built from photoreactive nanospheres.

2005

We show how photo-cross-linking of nanoparticles within the micrometer-sized thin oil shell of water-oil-water emulsion droplets leads to a new species of optically addressable microcontainers. The inner water droplet of these emulsions may contain drugs, dyes, or other water-soluble components, leading to filled containers. The thickness, mechanical stability, and light resistance of the container walls can be controlled in a simple way by the amount and adjustable photoreactivity of the nanoparticles. Importantly, the chemical bonds between the nanoparticles constituting the microcapsule shell can be cleaved photochemically by irradiation with UV light. This optically controlled destructi…

In situ gel forming graft copolymers of a polyaspartamide and polylactic acid: Preparation and characterization

2008

Abstract In situ gel forming systems have been prepared by linking polylactic acid (PLA) to a water soluble and polyfunctional polymer, such as α,β-poly( N -2-hydroxyethyl)- d , l -aspartamide (PHEA). Three graft copolymers PHEA–PLA with a different derivatization degree in PLA, have been synthesized and characterized. PHEA–PLA graft copolymer with the highest amount in PLA has been used to prepare solutions in organic solvents able to give rise to gel-like matrices when injected into phosphate buffered saline solution. The chemical degradation of these gels has been evaluated and in vitro tests have been performed to evaluate the cell compatibility of the hydrolysis products. The possibili…
