<abstract xml:lang="en" abstract-type="author" id="abs0010"> <title id="sectitle0010">Abstract</title> <sec> <title id="sectitle0015">Background</title> <p id="abspara0010">Food-processing gaseous effluents are rich in <bold>flavoured volatile organic compounds</bold> (FVOCs). The discharge of these FVOCs is unwanted as they can contribute to the environmental olfactive pollution.</p> </sec> <sec> <title id="sectitle0020">Scope and approach</title> <p id="abspara0015">Their recovery would then enable their <bold>valuation</bold> through the strengthening of the organoleptic properties of the finished products or their use in other products, as well as <bold>reducing the pollution</bold> linked to their discharge. However, there are only a few documents in the literature concerning <bold>food aromas recovery</bold> from gaseous effluents.

The <bold>adsorption</bold> and the <bold>absorption</bold> are technologies used for scrubbing volatile organic compounds, which can be potentially used for gaseous aroma recovery.</p> </sec> </abstract>
