Technique for the isolation of volatile food compounds optimized

A research group from the Leibniz Institute for Food Systems Biology at the Technical University of Munich (LSB) has succeeded in automatically developing a set-up method for a flexible, anti-artifact isolation of volatile food ingredients. As the team’s comparative study now shows, automated flavor-assisted evaporation (aSAFE) offers significant advantages over the manual process. On average it achieves higher yields and reduces the risk of contamination by volatile substances. The optimized method is particularly important for odor analysis.

Mangoes, miso, bananas and more: a selection of multicultural food writers

The first and only time I went to a dietician, they gave me a pamphlet of healthy recipes, as you might expect. Still, I was not prepared for what I saw. Boring cantaloupe stuffed with cottage cheese, bland iceberg lettuce salads and bland rice substitutes greeted me when I peeled back the paper bundle. “Is this really it?” I asked. Needless to say, I was disappointed. As a food writer and recipe developer – and a person who likes to eat – I want taste, colour, texture and diversity in my food. I am half Asian and half Latinx.
