In this monthly review of the organoleptic characteristics of flavor materials, senior flavorist Judith Michalski discusses materials ranging from barley, roasted oleoresin, 40% ethanol and carob beans oleoresin (synonym: St. John’s bread), through dandelion root extract (E.U.) (synonym: swine snout) and Juniper berry extract (E.U.), and more.
