Electro-olfactograms in response to chromatographic fractions of food-related odorants in the Senegalese sole, Solea senegalensis

The Bohr effect, which can be most generally defined as the influence of pH on the oxygen binding affinity of proteins, is a common feature of respiratory pigments, ranging from the haemocyanins of molluscs and crustaceans to the haemoglobins of vertebrates. Its physiological role is generally seen in the facilitation of oxygen release from respiratory pigments during tissue acidosis. The magnitude of the effect can be influenced by a multitude of factors such as temperature, carbon dioxide, chloride ions, organic phosphates and the investigated pH range. Here we present data on the maximal alkaline Bohr effect in haemoglobins from a large number of species covering all vertebrate classes, obtained at physiological temperatures in the presence of 100 mM chloride ions and the absence of carbon dioxide and organic phosphates.

Aromatic plants, spices and volatiles in food and beverages

The use of spices, common nowadays, was once a sign of high position, luxury and wealth. The value of food ingredients is thus determined by the time in which one lives, that is, it is a product of fashion, since they are always used in a social context. Many plants used as spices enjoyed fame and undeniable importance in the past but their reign was more or less ephemeral, as they were rejected in favour of others for food seasoning, or simply upstaged and/or used for other purposes.

Authenticity in Scaling the Vision: Defining Boundaries in the Food and Beverage Entrepreneurship Development Cycle

The October 2015 Food and Beverage Entrepreneurship Roundtable brought together over 30 food and beverage industry leaders, entrepreneurs, faculty, and students at the School of Hotel Administration at Cornell University. Discussion topics covered entrepreneurship in the food and beverage industry, including development, intrapreneurship, operational efficiency, beverage product development, and technology. The roundtable began with the presentation of a five-point framework on food and beverage venue development. The first three phases focused on the launch of a venue, including how to define the guest experience; the creation of operational functionality by strategically planning out the design, flow, and efficiency of a defined space; and development capacity. The remaining two points of the framework focused on post-opening considerations, including operating systems and culture development. Participants discussed the importance of culture in the growth of a business. They suggested that intrapreneurship needs to be fostered in the culture of an organization and in an educational curriculum for those who are preparing to enter the industry. Participants also discussed the fine balance between setting expectations for an experience and subsequently being able to maintain this experience in a fast changing environment. In particular they considered what it means to say no to customers. A discussion on the beverage industry focused on how to distribute products in a crowded marketplace. One method to ensure that the product gets into the hands of the consumers is face-to-face sales. Finally, in the technology session, the group discussed technology adoption, specifically focusing on the point at which technology detracts from the guest experience, how to minimize operational risk from technology, and how to maximize consumers’ adoption rates.
