Activities
Research theme
I did my PhD at the CSGA, which was co-supervised by Christian SALLES and Loïc BRIAND, in collaboration with Groupe Soufflet-Invivo and Groupe Avril (CIFRE). My work focused on identifying the molecules responsible for the pulse off-flavours, in particular faba beans. I carried out multidisciplinary research combining sensory, analytical (GC-MS, GC-O, HPLC-MS, metabolomic approach) and cellular approaches. My PhD work was awarded the Prix Marcel Loncin 2023. As a post-doctoral researcher, I am value research projects on taste receptors (bitter, sweet and umami).
Key words
Plant-based proteins, faba beans, off-notes, bitterness, HPLC-MS, GC-MS, sensory analysis, taste receptor
