Chemosens Platform

At the heart of the CSGA, ChemoSens is a multidisciplinary platform which develops and provides high-level technical expertise and tools for the chemical analysis of volatile compounds and lipids, chemometrics, sensometrics, olfactometry, gustometry, neuroimaging, sensory analysis and consumer behavior.

Research

The ChemoSens platform is a Collective Scientific Infrastructure (ISC) of INRAE (National Institute for Research in Agriculture, Food and Environment), labeled Infrastructure in Biology, Health and Agronomy at the national level (GIS IBISA) and by the Burgundy Franche-Comté region. Its operation is certified ISO 9001.

Its engineers and technicians develop the methods and tools necessary for the research questions of the Unit's various teams, such as the role of dietary lipids in eyesight, chemical and physiological mechanisms of foods sensory perception and consumers eating behavior. ChemoSens services are open to numerous external (academic and private) partners.

The platform's expertise is organized into four components :

  • mass spectrometry, olfactometry and gustometry,
  • sensory analysis and consumer behavior,
  • physiology,
  • software engineering, statistics and data science.
