Linalool, 1,8-Cineole, and Eugenol Transfer from a Curry Dish into Human Urine.

Scope: For most substances, there are several routes of excretion from the human body. This study focuses on urinary excretion of dietary odorants and compares the results with previously obtained results on excretion into milk.

Methods And Results: Lactating mothers (n = 18) are given a standardized curry dish and donate urine samples before and after the intervention.

Dietary Linalool is Transferred into the Milk of Nursing Mothers.

Scope: Breast milk is repeatedly postulated to shape the first aroma and taste impressions of infants and thus impact their flavor learning. The objective of this study is to assess the transition of aroma compounds from a customary curry dish into milk.

Methods And Results: The article prepares a standardized curry dish and administers the dish to nursing mothers (n = 18) in an intervention study.

Dietary Piperine is Transferred into the Milk of Nursing Mothers.

Introduction: The diet of breastfeeding mothers could bring nurslings into contact with flavor compounds putatively contributing to early sensory programming of the infant. The study investigates whether tastants from a customary curry dish consumed by mothers are detectable in their milk afterwards and can be perceived by the infant.

Methods And Results: Sensory evaluation identifies pungency as the dominating taste impression of the curry dish.
