Relationships between early flavor exposure, and food acceptability and neophobia
2016
Revue; In the first section of this chapter, an overview of what is known about early flavor exposure, distinguishing between taste and flavor (aroma) exposure is provided. In the second section, we will describe what has been researched regarding the influence of early flavor exposure on the development of food preference, looking at prenatal exposure, exposure received in the context of milk feeding and exposure received in the context of complementary feeding. The third section is a description of what has been shown regarding the relationships between early flavor exposure and food neophobia. The chapter ended with a comment on likely future trends, and by a description of sources of fu…
Physico-chemical characterisation of a non-conventional food protein source from earthworms and sensory impact in arepas
2009
International audience; This study aimed to characterise a non-conventional protein source: a powder made from earthworms, and to evaluate its potential use as human food. The way it was prepared led to low solubility and wide particle size distribution. Sensory analysis was used to assess the acceptability and the organoleptic properties of maize-based pan-cakes fortified with this novel protein powder. Satisfying products were obtained with a substitution level of 5.5% (w/w) earthworm powder in pan-cakes. GC-MS allowed the identification of more than seventy volatile compounds that may be responsible for the off-odour of the powder. The most abundant chemical groups found in the volatile …
