Evidence for interactions between aroma compounds and the CB1 receptor: a way to regulate food intake?
2012
National audience; Obesity is a major cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, characterised by a chronic imbalance of energy homeostasis. The regulation of dietary intake appears to be an effective way to regulate this imbalance. Furthermore, it is now well established that the endocannabinoid system influences appetite via the cannabinoid receptor type 1 (CB1): CB1 agonists can promote food intake while CB1 antagonists tend to decrease appetite (1). Interestingly, recent studies showed that CB1-like receptors are expressed in the olfactory epithelium of Xenopus laevis tadpoles (2). Elsewhere, it has been demonstrated that aroma perception is implicated in the process of satiety (3). Co…
Chapter 68 - Identification of Key Gin Aroma Compounds: An Integrative Approach Based on an Original Selection Procedure
2014
International audience; Potential impact aroma compounds of gin have been identified using Gas Chromatogry Olfactometry Mass-Spectrometry (GC-O-MS). In order to select some of them for a recombination study, we developed a specific procedure. Instead of only choosing the compounds on criteria such as their odor quality or their odor activity values, we also used physico-chemical parameters and information on their botanical origin. Data were organized in blocks homogeneous in terms of parameter type. Different statistical treatments were used in order to classify the compounds either by analyzing the parameters altogether or separately block by block.
Rules and Mechanisms of Perceptual Interaction of Odor Mixtures : Application to Icewine aroma
2021
Icewine was used as an experimental object, and hundreds of wine- or food-related odor mixtures were designed and investigated for the first time based on the identification and analysis of icewine’ odorants. The aim of the thesis work was to explore the key odor elements that affected the perception of odor mixtures and the general laws behind olfactory perceptual interactions. The thesis manuscript contains seven chapters:The first review of the literature gives a brief introduction to the olfactory system and odor perception. Then, odorants’ mixture perception is highlighted through examples of interactions between odorants at the perceptual level. Research progress in perceptual interac…
In-mouth aroma compound release during cheese consumption: Relationship with food bolus formation
2011
International audience; The present study describes the changes in mechanical properties and saliva incorporation for cheese samples with different composition and texture, and their influence on the rate of aroma release. Chewing work per cycle, salivary flow rate and chewing rate varied highly among subjects. Despite the differences in cheese hardness, at the end of mastication, bolus texture was the same for cheeses with the same lipid content. Low-fat cheeses gave harder bolus than high fat ones, despite being chewed longer, with higher work per cycle and more moisture. Salivary flow rate did not vary among cheese samples but, at the end of mastication, the amount of saliva in boluses d…
Impact of the structure of polysaccharide-based food gels on the release of aroma compounds: an APCI-MS approach

Study of relationships between the structure of aroma compounds and their retention-release between vapour phase and dairy gels
2010
An integrated approach physicochemistry and structures activity relationships has been carried out to study the aroma compounds retention-release phenomenon in a fat free dairy gel added with pectin. This study aimed to identify the molecular properties that govern this phenomenon assuming that modifying the structure leads automatically to a change in the retention-release of aroma compounds. For this purpose, we have determined the partition coefficients of 28 aroma compounds in water, in pectin gels and in dairy gels supplemented or not supplemented with pectin, at equilibrium conditions using the PRV method (Phase Ratio Variation). Then, we have performed a structure-retention relations…

Temperature effect on solubility of aroma compounds in various aqueous solutions
2005
International audience; Solubility of nine aroma compounds (methyl ketones, ethyl esters, aldehyde and alcohol) in various aqueous solutions was measured by the mutual solubility method from -10 to +10degreesC. Influence of both, the nature (carbohydrates and polyols) and the substrate concentration (from 0 to 57.5g/100g) on aroma solubility in aqueous solutions was studied. Aroma solubility in water decreased when aroma hydrophobicity increased. Aroma solubility in various aqueous solutions decreased when substrate concentration increased; their solubility was higher in polyols solutions than in polysaccharides ones. Temperature effect on aroma solubility showed a noncontinuous evolution f…
Aroma compound transfer between a solid food matrix and packaging films: a comprehensive approach
2008
International audience; Food quality is highly dependent on mass transfers occurring in food / packaging systems during storage. Particularly, aroma compound transfers are influenced by the composition and structure of the packaging and food matrix, the physico-chemical properties of aroma compounds and the conditions of the external environment (1). The influence of the food matrix on aroma compound-packaging film interactions was little studied in the literature (2,3). The objective of this work, in the framework of the French project CANAL ARLE, is to better understand aroma compound transfer into and through cellulosic and thermoplastic packaging films by taking into account their inter…
Understanding physiological and physicochemical influences on in-mouth aroma release from yogurts using mechanistic modelling
2008
International audience; On the basis of a first mechanistic model predicting aroma release in the oropharynx during food consumption, the aim of the present work was to improve its accuracy and to use it to identify the main mechanisms responsible for in-mouth aroma release. Comparison between predicted release kinetics and the ones measured by APCI-MS in the nasal cavity of subjects eating flavoured yogurt highlighted the reasonably accurate time predictions of the relative aroma concentration in the nasal cavity and the model ability to simulate successive swallowing events as well as partial velopharyngeal closure. Parameters identified as the most influent for in-vivo aroma release were…
