Minerality in wine: Towards the reality behind the myths
2018
Revue non indexée dans JCR. This article belongs to the Special Issue Wine Components and Chemical Mechanisms for Health; Tasting minerality in wine is highly fashionable, but it is unclear what this involves. The present review outlines published work concerning how minerality in wine is perceived and conceptualised by wine professionals and consumers. Studies investigating physico-chemical sources of perceived minerality in wine are reviewed also. Unusually, for a wine sensory descriptor, the term frequently is taken to imply a genesis: the sensation is the taste of minerals in the wine that were transported through the vine from the vineyard rocks and soils. Recent studies exploring tast…
Impact of reducing fat, salt and sugar in commercial foods on consumer acceptability and willingness to pay in real tasting conditions: A home experi…
2017
International audience; Decreasing obesity or cardiovascular disease can be achieved by eating healthier foods with reduced contents of fat, salt and sugar. However, these ingredients have a significant impact on the sensory quality of the food products that contain these ingredients, especially cooked sausage, chorizo, dry sausage, cheese and muffins. In this study, consumer appreciation of these five commercialized products (non reformulated versions) and their respective reformulated versions with reduced contents of salt, fat and sugar was tested. An original home experiment was performed to assess consumer appreciation in natural consumption conditions. The experiment was divided into …
Le goût : physiologie, rôles et dysfonctionnements
2013
Article de vulgarisation; National audience; The sense of taste involves multimodal sensory activation to detect and identify many flavors. Today, five primary tastes have been identified (sweet, salt, sour, bitter and umami). These are often combined to form complex tastes. The physiology of gustatory pathways is complex. The activation of gustatory receptors located in the mouth leads to an ascendant pathway through the neurons of the solitary nucleus in the brainstem and the neurons located in the thalamus. After the thalamus, the gustative signal modulates the ipsilateral primary taste cortex and then the secondary taste area. The secondary taste cortex, which combines representations o…
Arrival-time judgments on multiple-lane streets: the failure to ignore irrelevant traffic
2014
How do road users decide whether or not they have enough time to cross a multiple-lane street with multiple approaching vehicles? Temporal judgments have been investigated for single cars approaching an intersection; however, close to nothing is known about how street crossing decisions are being made when several vehicles are simultaneously approaching in two adjacent lanes. This task is relatively common in urban environments. We report two simulator experiments in which drivers had to judge whether it would be safe to initiate street crossing in such cases. Matching traffic gaps (i.e., the temporal separation between two consecutive vehicles) were presented either with cars approaching o…
Micro-organisms interactome during wine alcoholic fermentation
2022
The study of interactions between microorganisms is of major interest in oenology for various applications, including the modulation of the aromatic profile of wines. The interactions between Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeasts are widely described in the literature. On the contrary, interactions during alcoholic fermentation between S. cerevisiae strains, known for their technological properties in oenology, have been little studied.In this work, twelve strains of S. cerevisiae and their impact on wine were characterized in pure cultures using an integrative approach that combines microbiological, chemical, metabolomic and sensory approaches. An important intraspecific diversity was…
Modélisation des terminologies sensorielles du discours expert et non expert pour une plateforme de recommandation hybride (SmartAd)
2018
International audience; La lisibilité et la compréhension du discours expert par un consommateur non-expert sont sources de difficultés impactant l’acte d’achat [1]. Cette réalité est particulièrement vraie dans le domaine du vin où les propriétés organoleptiques et sensorielles des vins décrits par les institutions et experts portent une charge sémantique complexe difficilement appréhendable par les amateurs. D’après [2], au moins trois facteurs sont responsables de cette tension :1) la densité terminologique du discours et l’importance de celle-ci pour son degré de cohérence ; 2) le potentiel sémantique du terme, tant du point de vue de sa mise en discours que de son interprétation lors d…
The Antioxidant Potential of White Wines Relies on the Chemistry of Sulfur-Containing Compounds: An Optimized DPPH Assay
2019
The DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) assay is an easy and efficient method commonly used to determine the antioxidant capacity of many food matrices and beverages. In contrast with red wines, white wines are poorer in antioxidant polyphenolics, and the more hydrophilic sulfur-containing compounds in them may contribute significantly to their antioxidant capacity. The modification of the classical DPPH method, with a methanol-buffer and the measure of EC20 (quantity of sample needed to decrease the initial DPPH concentration by 20%) has shown that sulfur-containing compounds such as cysteine (0.037 ±
Vers une approche polysensorielle de la description du toucher des vins
2015
International audience; La place faite aux sensations tactiles est restreinte dans les dégustations. Retour sur une expérience d'association entre sensations tactiles et matières à toucher. Analyse du vocabulaire pour décrire les sensations tactiles perçues en bouche lors de la dégustation de vin, et de son intérêt pour la caractérisation des vins.
Matching beer with food : pairing principles, underlying mechanisms and a focus on aromatic similarity
2018
Pairing between beer and dishes emerges as a new trend in France. Beer promoters or gastronomy professionals need to offer high-quality advices in terms of beer and food pairing to their customers. Within this context, the objective of the research was to identify pairing principles and to better understand the underlying perceptual mechanisms. Determinants of food and beverage pairing were first analysed from experts’ discourses. Results showed that food and beverage pairings are governed by perceptual, conceptual and affective features, related to physio-chemical, perceptual and cognitive processes. Experts often mentioned “Aromatic Similarity” as one of the main pairing principles. This …
La première rencontre du corps malade en contexte de soins infirmiers : la relation de soin : une expérience ultime, du sensible au social
2016
Our study focuses on nursing care with a first approach based on human body and emotions through the teaching context in the sensitive hospital environment. The nursing student is a central point of our research as he lives a unique sensitive and interpersonal experience within his own body in a social setting imbued with symbolism. He perceives health care community through his five senses which inform and direct him, but also may destabilize him. We decided to base our study on the information and communication sciences thanks to a sensitive, sensorial and symbolic problematisation and through a multidisciplinary conceptualization based on different theoretical approaches, symbolic intera…
