Innovative application of confocal Raman microscopy to investigate the interaction between trans-2-hexenal and bovine milk fat globules. International Dairy Journal 32(2):68-70. doi:10.1016/j.idairyj.2013.04.0110958-6946182LN (isidoc)https://hdl.handle.net/10182/7869Confocal Raman microscopy was applied to detect the partitioning of a volatile compound, trans-2-hexenal, into bovine milk fat globules (MFGs). The interactions between trans-2-hexenal and individual MFGs were reflected by a change of spectral intensity of the volatile compound in the Raman shift region. At a relatively high concentration of trans-2-hexenal (5%, v/v), stronger intensities of the characteristic Raman spectra were found in the interior of the MFGs compared with the milk fat globule membrane (MFGM) region after reaching equilibrium, revealing that the MFG as a whole, rather than the MFGM, plays the major role in volatile compound absorption processes. The current study reports on aninnovative instrumental method to investigate interactions among specific volatile compound and individual emulsion droplets. © 2013 Elsevier Ltd.pp.68-70enRaman spectroscopy (RS)dairy productstrans-2-hexenalmilk fat globulesJournal Article10.1016/j.idairyj.2013.04.0111879-0143ANZSRC::3003 Animal productionANZSRC::3006 Food sciencesANZSRC::4004 Chemical engineering
