Summary

Food is a complex system containing mixtures of volatile compounds responsible for aroma perception and non-volatile compounds. In order to be perceived, aroma compounds have to be released from the food matrix. This chapter presents a general overview of the interactions between aroma compounds and the different classes of non-volatile compounds, including lipids, proteins, carbohydrates, polyphenols, Maillard melanoidins and artificial sweeteners in simple systems and in model foods such as emulsions and hydro alcoholic systems. Even if mechanistic models and molecular modelling approaches are far from being predictive tools in this area, they are useful tools to better understand the retention/release behaviour of aroma in food systems.
