Effect of Bread Crumb and Crust Structure on the in Vivo Release of Volatiles and the Dynamics of Aroma Perception.

This study examined the effects of bread crumb and crust structure on volatile release and aroma perception during oral processing. French baguettes with different crumb structures were procured from a supermarket or local bakeries (n = 6) or produced in the laboratory via par baking (n = 3). Eight study participants consumed crumb-only and crumb-and-crust samples, and the resulting volatile release was measured in vivo using proton transfer reaction-mass spectrometry.

Gaining deeper insight into aroma perception: An integrative study of the oral processing of breads with different structures.

The objective of this study was to investigate for the first time the influence of bread structure, volatile compounds, and oral processing on aroma perception. 3 types of French baguette were created using the same raw ingredients but different bread-making processes; they consequently varied in their crumb and crust structures. We characterized the initial volatile profiles of two bread structural subtypes-namely bread crumb and bread crumb with crust-using proton transfer reaction-mass spectrometry (PTR-MS) headspace analysis.

Respective impact of bread structure and oral processing on dynamic texture perceptions through statistical multiblock analysis.

Texture perception is a multidimensional and dynamic phenomenon resulting from both the initial structure of food and its breakdown during oral processing. The aim of this study is to identify the respective contribution of food and bolus properties to temporal changes in texture perceptions during bread consumption. For this purpose, the perception dynamics of three French baguettes with dif\ferent structures were assessed through Temporal Dominance of Sensations and Progressive Profiling.

Kinetics of bread crumb hydration as related to porous microstructure.

During oral processing and throughout the digestion process, hydration mechanisms have a key influence on the functional properties of food. This is the case with bread, for which hydration may affect the kinetics of starch hydrolysis as well as taste, aroma and texture perceptions. In this context, the aim of the present study is to understand how crumb porous micro-architecture impacts hydration kinetics.

Breakdown pathways during oral processing of different breads: impact of crumb and crust structures.

Oral processing during bread consumption is a key process related to the dynamics of texture perceptions, sensory stimuli release and starch digestion. The aim of this study was to determine the respective contribution of bread properties (composition and structure of crumb and crust) and of the oral physiology of subjects to the breakdown pathways in the mouth. The properties of the in vivo bread bolus obtained from eight healthy subjects were studied at three key points in time during their oral processing.
