The Return of Chloé Jacquot

Chloé Jacquot, a second-year student in the BTS Biotechnology program at Lycée Lumière in Luxeuil-les-Bains, will undertake an internship from January 6 to February 28, 2025. During this period, she will study the impact of cow feed on the composition of volatile fatty acids (VFAs) in two types of cheese (Camembert and Cantalet) as part of a collaborative project with the URH INRAE research unit in Theix. Her work will take place in the gas chromatography (GC) laboratory at FromEx.

Volatile fatty acids are key aroma compounds in cheese, and their analysis is carried out using GC.

The internship will consist of two main phases:

1. Optimization of the GC technique.
2. Analysis of VFAs in cheese. Two series of cheeses associated with a study on cow feed will be analyzed: 12 Camemberts and 12 Cantalets.
