Synopsis Analysis of Taste and Aroma by : John F. Jackson

Molecular Methods of Plant Analysis Concept of the Series The powerful recombinant DNA technology and related developments have had an enormous impact on molecular biology. Any treatment of plant analysis must make use of these new methods. Developments have been so fast and the methods so powerful that the editors of Modern Methods of Plant Analysis have now decided to rename the series Molecular Methods ofPlant Analysis. This will not change the general aims of the series, but best describes the thrust and content of the series as we go forward into the new millennium. This does not mean that all chapters a priori deal only with the methods of molecular biology,but rather that these methods are to be found in many chapters together with the more traditional methods of analysis which have seen recent advances. The numbering of the volumes of the series therefore continues on from 20, which is the most recently published volume under the title Modern Methods ofPlant Analysis. As indicated for previous volumes, the methods to be found in Molecular Methods ofPlantAnalysis are described critically,with hints as to their limitations, references to original papers and authors being given, and the chapters written so that there is little need to consult other texts to carry out the methods of analysis described. All authors have been chosen because of their special experience in handling plant material and/or their expertise with the methods described.

Synopsis Flavor Analysis by : Cynthia J. Mussinan

Filled with practical examples, this volume illustrates innovative flavor analysis techniques used by today's leaders in food chemistry. It covers flavor analysis for apples, beef, citrus, coffee, cheese, extruded pet foods, fungi, milk, and Maillard reaction systems, and the researchers come from throughout the industrialized world. Eleven of the chapters illustrate techniques for isolating volatile compounds from complex food matrices, including micro-scale liquid-liquid extraction, headspace sampling, solid phase microextraction, supercritical fluid extraction, and thermo desorption. The chapters devoted to analytical characterization include analyses of Amadori compounds, sulfur compounds, chiral compounds, coumarins and psoralens, flavor precursors, and natural products by GC, GC-MS, HPLC-MS, CCC (countercurrent chromatography), and GC-IRMS (gas chromatography isotope ration mass spectrometry). The final section covers sensory characterization and describes examples using the gas chromatography-olfactory techniques OSME and AEDA as well as the new GC-SOMMSA (selective odorant measurement by multisensor array).

Synopsis Sensory-Directed Flavor Analysis by : Ray Marsili

Today, flavor chemists can generate copious amounts of data in a short time with relatively little effort using automated solid phase micro-extraction, Gerstel-Twister and other extraction techniques in combination with gas chromatographic (GC) analysis. However, more data does not necessarily mean better understanding. In fact, the ability to extr

Synopsis Flavour in Food by : Andree Voilley

The first part of the book reviews the way flavour is detected and measured. The first two chapters discuss our understanding of how humans perceive and then process information about taste compounds. Chapter three reviews current practice in the sensory analysis of food flavour. Chapter four discusses choosing from the wide range of instrumental techniques which have been developed to identify aroma compounds. The final chapter in Part One discusses the complex issues in matching instrumental measurements with the results of sensory evaluation of foods.Part two reviews key research in the way flavour compounds are retained within foods and the factors determining the way they are released. There are chapters on flavour compound interactions with lipids, emulsions, protein and carbohydrate components in food. Other chapters review modelling aroma interactions in food matrices and mechanisms of flavour retention in and release from liquid food products. The final part reviews what we now know about how humans experience flavour release, together with some of the key factors influencing this process. There are chapters on the process of flavour release in the mouth, the way texture-aroma and odour-taste interactions influence this process, psychological factors and the development of flavour perception during infancy.Flavour in food seeks to distil key developments in flavour science and summarise their implications for the food industry. It is a valuable reference for R&D staff, those responsible for sensory evaluation of foods and product development, as well as academics and students involved in flavour science. - Understand how flavour is detected and measured - Analyses key research in the retention and release of flavour compounds - Examines how humans experience flavour release
