The glycerol content of food products appears to be a very useful indicator of food quality and is increasingly used for this purpose. Several methods have developed to measure the glycerol content, including the Boehringer enzymatic kit method, which is one of the better methods. However, data acquisition and analysis are very time consuming....

In this article we report calculations dedicated to estimate the selectivity of the Bombyx mori pheromone binding protein towards the two closely related pheromonal components Bombykol and Bombykal. The selectivity is quantified by the binding free-energy difference, obtained either by the thermodynamic integration or by the MM-GBSA approach....

In this article a simple method for automated pretreatment of chromatograms is presented. The resulting data matrix can be used as input for multivariate statistical analysis. Application of this method to high-performance anion-exchange chromatography-pulsed amperometric detection (HPAEC-PAD) chromatograms of honeys before canonical...

Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to study the thermal behavior of authentic honeys (Lavandula, Robinia, and Fir honeys) and industrial sugar syrups. Thermal or thermochemical parameters such as the glass transition temperature (Tg), enthalpies of fusion (DeltaH(fus)), and heat capacity variation (DeltaC(p)) were measured. The...

Honey adulteration is a complex problem which currently has a significant economic impact and undeniable nutritional and organoleptic consequences. This paper describes the development of an effective anionic chromatographic method (HPAEC-PAD) for honey analysis and adulteration detection. The method relies on the use of chemometric methods to...

The way odors are verbally coded in many languages is not very efficient for successful intersubjective communication. Nevertheless, some types of verbalization seem to facilitate the sharing of an olfactory experience. The experiment reported here was aimed at gaining a better understanding of how successful oral communication in the domain of...

An improved COFRAC (COmité FRançais d'ACréditation) method for the analysis and evaluation of the quality of honey by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography of sugar profiles is proposed. With this method, both minor and major sugars are simultaneously analyzed and the technique is integrated in a new chemometric approach, which uses...
