Flavor: From Food to Behaviors, Wellbeing and Health, Second Edition presents the different mechanisms of flavor perception. Broken into four parts, the first begins with coverage of flavor release in humans. Part two addresses flavor perception, from molecules to receptors and brain integration. Part three analyzes flavor perception, preferences and food intake. Finally, part four considers flavor perception and physiological status. Academics working in the areas of sensory science, food quality, nutrition and human sciences, as well as research and development professionals and nutritionists, will benefit from this important revised reference.

Flavor: From Food to Behaviors, Wellbeing and Health is the first single-volume resource focused on the different mechanisms of flavor perception from food ingestion, to sensory image integration and the physiological effects that may explain food behaviors. The information contained is highly multidisciplinary, starting with chemistry and biochemistry, and then continuing with psychology, neurobiology, and sociology. The book gives coherence between results obtained in these fields to better explain how flavor compounds may modulate food intake and behavior. When available, physiological mechanisms and mathematical models are explained. Since almost half a billion people suffer from obesity and food related chronic diseases in the world, and since recent research has investigated the possible roles of pleasure linked to the palatability of food and eating pleasure on food intake, food habits, and energy regulation, this book is a timely resource on the topic. This book links these results in a logical story, starting in the food and the food bolus, and explaining how flavor compounds can reach different receptors, contribute to the emergence of a sensory image, and modulate other systems recognized as controlling food intake and food behavior. The influence of age, physiological disorders, or social environments are included in this approach since these parameters are known to influence the impact of food flavor on human behavior.

L'alimentation suscite aujourd'hui de multiples interrogations. Cet ouvrage se propose d'en faire le tour en exposant le plus simplement et le plus complètement possible l'état des connaissances scientifiques. Quels sont les déterminants du comportement alimentaire ? Comment les comportements alimentaires évoluent-ils au cours d'une vie ? Quels en sont les marqueurs culturels ? Les évolutions historiques ? Comment fabrique-t-on, et a-t-on fabriqué au cours de l'histoire, les aliments ? Comment les conserve-t-on ? Comment gérer les ressources ? Quels sont les différents systèmes alimentaires ? Qu'en est-il aujourd'hui des questions de famine ? Quelles relations entretiennent la nutrition et la santé ? Comment gérer les risques alimentaires dans des filières industrialisées ? Quel encadrement juridique pour l'alimentation ? Quels liens entre l'alimentation, l'environnement et l'occupation du territoire ? C'est à toutes ces questions, et à bien d'autres, que répond cet ouvrage, en 127 chapitres. L'alimentation exige la pluridisciplinarité, aussi les auteurs rassemblés viennent-ils de communautés aussi diverses que les sciences humaines et sociales, les sciences biologiques et médicales, les sciences des aliments, et les sciences environnementales. Un panorama complet pour tout comprendre aux enjeux de l'alimentation au xxie siècle.
