Emulsifying agents impact aroma release in oil-water emulsions.


In many foods and beverages, the fat phase occurs as a component of an emulsion. Various emulsifying agents are commercially available, each with different physico-chemical properties.

Emulsifier-type agents might have a significant impact on the aroma release profile of foods and beverages--flavor perception--due to differences in their chemical reactivity and diffusion properties. Penn State scientists evaluated the influence of emulsifying agents on the release of certain aroma molecules in model oil-water emulsion systems. It appears that the selection of an emulsifying agent can have a significant impact on the controlled release of aroma molecules in oil-water emulsions.

A novel instrumental design was developed for analyzing aroma molecules released from model oil-water emulsions. This design consisted of a model mouth that was directly interfaced to a flame ionization detector A flame ionization detector (FID) is a type of detector used in gas chromatography. Principle
The Flame Ionization Detector (FID) is one of the many methods by which to analyze materials coming off of gas chromatography column.

 analysis with gas chromatography to quantify the concentration of the free aroma compounds in the model emulsions. Time-release profiles showed that the emulsifier-type agents had a significant effect on aroma release kinetics in the emulsions. The release from certain aroma-surfactant combinations, e.g., whey whey
