Application


  • Effect of fat nature and aroma compound hydrophobicity on flavor release from complex food emulsions.: This study investigates how the nature of fat and the hydrophobicity of aroma compounds, including Methyl hexanoate, influence flavor release in complex food emulsions. The findings provide insights into the interactions between fat types and aroma compounds, which can help in the formulation of food products with optimized flavor profiles. (Relkin et al., 2004).

Olfaction in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster is increasingly understood, from ligand-receptor-neuron combinations to their axonal projection patterns into the antennal lobe . Drosophila thus offers an excellent opportunity to study the evolutionary and ecological dynamics of olfactory systems. We
