The Chemistry of F&F: Physiological Coolants
By: Steve Pringle and David Brassington, Oxford Ch…
New materials and emerging applications. Physiological cooling agents act in a number of ways. In a flavor or fragrance they can be the first impact, leaving a cool sensation on the palate or skin prior to the main aroma being imparted.

Perfumer’s Notes: Javanol
By: Jerzy Bajgrowicz and Antoine Gaillard, Givauda…
The growing scarcity—and resulting increased price—of sandalwood oil explains the fragrance industry’s continuous search for synthetic substitutes. Javanol (Givaudan), prepared from naturally occurring α-pinene, represents a new tool in terms of performance and naturalness of scent. Here we learn the importance of sandalwood for perfumery, its synthetic substitutes, the discovery and use of Javanol.

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.

The Search For Scent
Gliding silently across the canopy of a coastal rainforest in the Masoala Peninsula of northeastern Madagascar, Roman Kaiser knew he was on to something good. “Can you smell this unique scent of White Freesia and Robina — which tree might it be — we have to go closer,” Kaiser said to his ScentTrek teammate and Givaudan executive perfumer, Dave Apel.

New Aroma Chemicals: Thujone Alternatives
By: Michael Britten-Kelly
Perfumers often use the descriptor “thujone” to describe a particular note in fragrances. However, the odor of thujone itself seems to be inseparable from the character of the essential oils in which it is found. This article will examine the uses of thujone and thujone containing materials in perfumery, and describe some synthetic materials — old and new— that are intended to provide this note.

Rose Ketones: Celebrating 30 Years Of Success
By: Alvin Williams
Can you remember life before the rose ketones? Can you remember what rose reconstitutions used to smell like before the rose ketones were available? Probably not. And if you can, you probably weren’t too impressed with them

Schiff Bases — A Primer
By: Conrad Schmidt
The flavor and fragrance industry uses many classes of chemicals, including a number that otherwise are encountered only rarely outside of organic chemistry textbooks. A good example is Schiff bases, named for their discoverer, German chemist Hugo Schiff (1834-1915). A Schiff base, along with by-product water, is formed by reaction of an aldehyde with a primary amine.

The Benefits Of Fragrance Materials
By: T.V. John, Carol Christensen and Julian Boyden
Fragrance is universally recognized for its aesthetic value. Providing a pleasant scent will always remain the primary role of fragrance in consumer products. Yet fragrance provides many other benefits to consumers and to the products to which they are added. Describing these additional fragrance benefits is the focus of this paper.

Perfume and Flavor Synthetics
By: Libor Cerveny, Institute of Chemical Technolog…
A model for research and academic-industrial cooperation. Cooperation between the Department of Organic Technology (DOT) at ICT Prague and Aroma Co. began in 1970 with research into problems with benzyl-acetate purity. The cooperative first consisted of an expert consultancy, which gradually grew into a systematic expert-research group focused on fields of basic research.
