Proton transfer reaction - mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) has become a reference technique in environmental science allowing for VOC monitoring with low detection limits. The recent introduction of time-of-flight analyzer (PTR-ToF-MS) opens new horizons terms resolution, acquisition time, and range. A standard procedure to perform quantitative measurements PTR-ToF-MS is calibrate the instrument using gas. However, given number compounds that can be simultaneously monitored by PTR-ToF-MS, such...
Sweetness is one of the main drivers consumer preference, and thus given high priority in apple breeding programmes. Due to complexity sweetness evaluation, soluble solid content (SSC) commonly used as an estimation this trait. Nevertheless, it has been demonstrated that SSC sweet taste are poorly correlated. Though individual sugar may vary greatly between within cultivars, no previous study tried investigate relationship amount sugars, or ratios these, sweetness. In work, we quantified...
Blueberry (Vaccinium spp.) fruit consumption has increased over the last five years, becoming second most important soft species after strawberry. Despite possible economic and sensory impact, blueberry volatile organic compound (VOC) composition been poorly investigated. Thus, great impact of aroma on marketability stimulates need to step forward in understanding this quality trait. Beside strong effect ripening, profile also varies due broad genetic differences among Vaccinium that have...
The Mediterranean diet (MD) is associated with many health benefits. association between the MD and food neophobia (FN) still unexplored in adults. present cross-sectional study was aimed to explore relationships adherence MD, FN, sociodemographic variables a large Italian cohort. Familiarity frequency use (FFI) of prototypical non-prototypical foods were used calculate new index: Taste Index (ITMI). FFI all increased age, while butter, soft drinks, red/cured meat, sweets more common younger...
Grape berries of Muscat cultivars (Vitis vinifera L.) contain high levels monoterpenols and exhibit a distinct aroma related to this composition volatiles. A structural gene the plastidial methyl-erythritol-phosphate (MEP) pathway, 1-deoxy-D-xylulose 5-phosphate synthase (VvDXS), was recently suggested as candidate for trait, having been co-localized with major quantitative trait locus linalool, nerol, geraniol concentrations in berries. In addition, structured association study discovered...
