The thesis provides a draft map of the chemical space of chemosensory active molecules in foods and enables by application of cheminformatics approaches the deduction of general principles of raw material influence and processing. The summarized data support the development of analytical methods targeting the efficient quantitation of key compounds, provide a database for screening of chemosensory receptor agonists and facilitate the optimization of in-silico tools for prediction of receptor activation determining sensory quality and biological function.     «
