Progress in Essential Oils
By: Brian M. Lawrence, consultant
In every issue, essential oil expert Brian Lawrence examines and reviews the studies published by authors on a wide variety of essential oils. He explores the studies' results and notes when something is incorrect or needs further study. In this issue, Lawrence covers: genet oil (Spartium junceum L.) from Italy; sambac oil (Jasminum sambac L. Aiton) and extracts from China and India; lemon myrtle oil (Backhousia citriodora F.Muell.) from Australia; and tangerine oil (Citrus reticulata Blanco and Citrus tangerina) from Florida, China, Kenya, Vietnam and Mexico.

Material study: Heterocyclic Nitrogen- and Sulfur-Containing Aroma Chemicals
By: Michael Zviely (O'Laughlin Industries Ltd.)
A look at the two groups that comprise this section of heterocyclic chemicals, with a focus on the aromatic molecules. Of the ca. 20 million chemical compounds presently characterized, almost half are heterocyclic molecules. Heterocyclic molecules are significant due to their abundance in nature, as well as their chemical and biological importance.

Getting ahead: Technology and Innovation
By: Robert Sobel, FONA International
Applying the lead user process to identify and implement new F&F technologies. Technology and innovation initiatives at flavor companies often are misunderstood or, worse, mismanaged because of poor understanding of the relationships between technology, innovation and the company’s business engine. This article will attempt to shed some much-needed light on the connections between these three variables, as well as the challenges in reaching a harmonious balance among them.

Research article: Biotransformation of Unsaturated Aliphatic Aldehydes Using Baker’s Yeast
By: Ian Gatfield and Heinz-Jürgen Bertram
Actively fermenting baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) not only converts aliphatic aldehydes to the corresponding alcohols, but also may reduce certain carbon-carbon double bonds in the same molecule. Furthermore, an in situ acyloin condensation reaction occurs; this bioconversion reaction gives rise to relatively good yields of unsaturated 2,3-diols, which have two carbon atoms more than the corresponding aliphatic aldehyde used as substrate. Baker’s yeast has been used as a reagent in organic synthesis since the beginning of the 20th century, when fundamental studies were initiated on the mechanism of formation of fusel alcohols from the corresponding l-amino acids during the formation of ethanol.

The Spice Trail: Nutmeg
By: Daemmon Reeve, Treatt plc
Origins, cultivation and processing. Nutmeg and its sister spice, mace, come from the nutmeg tree (Myristica fragrans). This evergreen tree is native to the Molucca (or Banda) Islands in East Indonesia — known as the “Spice Islands” — and elsewhere in Indonesia.
