FLAVOUR THRESHOLDS FOR ADDED SUBSTANCES

Crossing Heavy-Flavour Thresholds in Fragmentation Functions

In analogy with parton distribution functions, also parton fragmentation functions obey matching conditions when crossing heavy-flavour thresholds. We compute these matching conditions at next-to-leading order in the strong coupling constant αS in the MS scheme. Our results can be used for the dynamical generation of the heavy-flavour component in next-to-leading order fits to light-hadrons fra...

Dossier – Non - intentionally added substances ( NIAS )

1 Definition of NIAS Non-intentionally added substances (NIAS) are chemical compounds that are present in food contact materials (FCMs) and could therefore migrate into food, but they are not added for a technical reason during the production process. Often their presence is not known by the consumer and not even by the producer. The phenomenon of NIAS is not new, but the awareness towards this...

Odour and flavour thresholds for key aroma components in an orange juice matrix: terpenes and aldehydes

Thresholds for flavour volatiles have been traditionally calculated in water or air, but they may vary widely in more complex matrices. Thresholds of key aroma compounds of orange juice (OJ) were determined in a deodorized OJ matrix. The three-alternative-forced-choice (3-AFC) method was used (ASTM: E-679). Untrained panelists, 33–58 in number, were presented with deodorized orange juice sample...

Sensitivity to new supersymmetric thresholds through flavour and CP violating physics

Treating the MSSM as an effective theory below a threshold scale Λ, we study the consequences of having dimension-five operators in the superpotential for flavour and CP violating processes. Below the supersymmetric threshold such terms generate flavour changing and/or CP -odd effective operators of dimension six composed from the Standard Model fermions, that have the interesting property of d...
