Description

Application

• Effect of fat nature and aroma compound hydrophobicity on flavor release from complex food emulsions.: This study investigates how the nature of fat and the hydrophobicity of aroma compounds, including Methyl hexanoate, influence flavor release in complex food emulsions. The findings provide insights into the interactions between fat types and aroma compounds, which can help in the formulation of food products with optimized flavor profiles. (Relkin et al., 2004).
