  • Comparison of the sensory properties of fragrant and non-fragrant rice (Oryza sativa), focusing on the role of the Popcorn-like aroma compound 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline.
    Food chemistry, 2020
    Co-Authors: Xuan Wei, Lisa Methven, Qianting Sun, J. Stephen Elmore
    Abstract:

    Abstract 2-Acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) has been widely reported as a key contributor to the Popcorn-like aroma of fragrant rice (Oryza sativa). To gain a greater understanding of its contribution to the aroma in both fragrant and non-fragrant rice, sensory profiling was conducted with a trained panel to examine the sensory properties of six boiled rice samples, three fragrant and three non-fragrant varieties. The intensity of the Popcorn note as an orthonasal odour, a retronasal flavour and as an after-effect was significantly higher in fragrant rice than in non-fragrant rice. However, panellists could not differentiate these Popcorn attributes between the three different fragrant rice varieties. 2-AP was extracted from the boiled rice samples by headspace solid-phase microextraction and quantified by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry. 2-AP was below the limits of quantitation in non-fragrant varieties; however, gas chromatography–olfactometry of samples indicated the presence of 2-AP in both raw fragrant and non-fragrant rice varieties.

  • Evaluation of 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline in foods, with an emphasis on rice flavour
    Food chemistry, 2017
    Co-Authors: Xuan Wei, Dody Dwi Handoko, Leela Pather, Lisa Methven, J. Stephen Elmore
    Abstract:

    The Popcorn-like aroma compound 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline (2-AP) is a key contributor to the desirable aroma of fragrant rice and is also important in the aroma of other foods, such as pandan leaf, Popcorn and Mediterranean sausage. It can be formed enzymatically in the rice grain as it grows and is also formed, as part of the Maillard reaction, when rice is heated. This review examines the formation of 2-AP in rice and other foods, particularly its formation during cooking, focusing on the importance of the Maillard reaction between reducing sugar breakdown products and 1-pyrroline derived from the amino acids proline and ornithine. The synthesis of 2-AP is discussed alongside the attempts that have been made to stabilise this relatively unstable compound. The analysis of 2-AP by instrumental techniques, particularly gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography-olfactometry, alongside the use of sensory studies, is also discussed.

  • Scalable and private media consumption with Popcorn
    2016
    Co-Authors: Trinabh Gupta, Natacha Crooks, Whitney Mulhern, Srinath Setty, Lorenzo Alvisi, Michael Walfish
    Abstract:

    Abstract This paper describes the design, implementa-tion, and evaluation of Popcorn, a media content delivery system that provably hides clients ’ media consumption. Popcorn relies on a powerful cryptographic primitive: pri-vate information retrieval (PIR). With novel refinements that leverage the properties of PIR protocols and of media streaming, we have developed a system that cheaply hides media consumption, scales to the size of Netflix’s library (8,000 movies), and respects current controls on media dissemination. The per-request cost in Popcorn is 3.87× the per-request cost of a non-private system. 1 Introduction an

    Abstract:

    We describe the design, implementation, and evaluation of Popcorn, a media delivery system that hides clients' consumption (even from the content distributor). Popcorn relies on a powerful cryptographic primitive: private information retrieval (PIR). With novel refinements that leverage the properties of PIR protocols and media streaming, Popcorn scales to the size of Netflix's library (8000 movies) and respects current controls on media dissemination. The dollar cost to serve a media object in Popcorn is 3.87× that of a non-private system.
