Interactions entre la beta-lactoglobuline et les arômes : impact au niveau moléculaire
2008
Interactions between β-lactoglobulin (BLG) and aroma compounds were investigated by complementary techniques for a better knowledge of binding mechanisms between proteins and aroma compounds at a molecular scale. Two binding sites have been defined for the monomeric BLG, one internal site within the central calyx, and one external site between the calyx and the α helix. In a first step, a relation between the ligand structure and its binding behaviour was established from the study of impact of a wide range of aroma compounds on the structure of native BLG. We evidenced at least two binding behaviours as a function of the chemical class, the hydrophobicity, or the structure of the ligands. …
Volume change characteristics of fine-grained soils due to sequential thermo-mechanical stresses
2019
Know-how of volume change characteristics, VCC, of the fine-grained soils, exposed to thermal stresses, is essential for design of various thermo-active structures. These stresses are known to induce excess pore-water pressure, Δu θ , in the saturated state of such soils, which in turn affects their compression and shear strength characteristics. In this context, through several experimental studies, the effect of thermo-mechanical stress-path, the over-consolidation ratio (OCR) and degree of saturation on VCC (viz., thermally induced volumetric strain, ε vθ , compression and re-compression indices, c c and c r ) of the fine-grained soils has been demonstrated by earlier researchers.
