Structural Equation Model illustrating the drivers of children’s green bean and pasta intake.

<p>The SEM assessed the relationships between salt content, green bean and pasta preferences and intake, hunger and z-BMI. SALT2 = Salt². Salad is vegetable salad. The variables in squares represent measured/observed variables, and those in circles represent latent variables. The effects concerning green beans are set equal to those concerning pasta and are reported for green beans only. The effect of hunger on the intake of green beans, pasta, salad and chicken were set to the same value (reported only once). Dotted lines represent effects suggested by the modification indices, and solid lines represent assumed effects. Numerical values next to arrows represent path coefficients, significant at p<0.05. All fit indices suggest a good fit: model chi-square = 135, df = 85, p = 0.0005, Tucker-Lewis NNFI = 0.93, Bentler CFI = 0.95, RMSEA = 0.04 with 90% confidence interval [0.03, 0.06].</p

Rabbit perception of the RC vs. M^V and M^D mixtures.

<p>Proportions of 2 day-old rabbit pups responding in an oral activation test A) to the RC mixture, the component V of this mixture (white bar) or to another mixture of 6 components including V (M^V; grey bar), after conditioning to the odorant V (group V+; n = 16); or B) to the component D of the RC mixture (white bar) or to another mixture of 6 components including D (M^D; grey bar), after conditioning to the odorant D (group D+; n = 15).</p

Human perception of the RC mixture.

<p>3D representation (2 different views) of the sensory map obtained from the free sorting task FS1 based on the sorting of the RC mixture and of its components (EA, D, V, IA, B, F) by human adults. The map was drawn using a non-metric MDS analysis. Ellipsoids represent 95% confidence intervals and were calculated using a bootstrap algorithm.</p

Human perception of the M^V and M^D mixtures.

<p>3D representations (2 different views) of the sensory map obtained from the free sorting task FS2 based on the sorting of two 6-component mixtures (M^V and M^D) and of their components (L, E, Nb, C3H, P, V and D) by human adults. The map was drawn using a non-metric MDS analysis. Ellipsoids represent 95% confidence intervals and were calculated using a bootstrap algorithm.</p

Elemental perception of the RC mixture by newborn rabbits.

<p>Proportions of 2 day-old rabbit pups responding in an oral activation test to the RC mixture (black bar) and to its components (white bars) after 1 conditioning to RC (RC+) or in absence of conditioning to RC (RC−) (n = 54 and 25, respectively).</p

Rabbit perception of the RC vs. RC-X mixtures.

<p>Proportions of 2 day-old rabbit pups responding in an oral activation test A) to the RC mixture deleted of one component (RC-X where X represents the removed component; grey bars) and to the component D from the RC mixture (white bar) after conditioning to the component D (results were pooled from 3 groups of pups; n = 53); or B) to the RC mixture deleted of the component D, and to the component V from the RC mixture (white bar) after conditioning to the odorant V (one group; n = 20).</p

Human perception of RC mixtures varying in component's proportions.

<p>3D representations (2 different views) of the sensory map obtained from the free sorting task FS4 based on the sorting, by human adults of the RC mixture and several mixtures formulated as RC but with varying proportions of two components (RC^{(B−, EA+)} and RC^{(V−, IA+)} (light blue), equalized proportions of odorants at 16.7% (RC^1/6, dark blue), redistributed components proportion (RC^mod; dark blue), omission of odorant V or B (RC-V and RC-B, yellow). The map was drawn using a non-metric MDS analysis. Ellipsoids represent 95% confidence intervals and were calculated using a bootstrap algorithm.</p

Rabbit perception of the RC mixture.

<p>Proportions of 2 day-old rabbit pups responding in an oral activation test, after conditioning to one odorant of the RC mixture (IA+, EA+, D+, B+, F+ or V+), to the odorant they were conditioned to (white bars), to another unfamiliar component from RC (grey bars) and to the RC mixture (black bars) (n = 16, 19, 20, 19, 13 and 16; respectively in IA+, EA+, D+, B+, F+ and V+).</p
