On October 7, Flavorcon 2024 kicked off with a pre-event Live Organoleptic Panel. We tapped moderators to take 35 attendees on a guided tour through a lineup of organoleptic materials.
Moderators were paired into teams of two: independent flavorist and “Flavor Bites” columnist, John Wright/PepsiCo junior flavorist Giuseppe Bongiorno and Bell Flavor & Fragrances principal flavorist, Cyndie Lipka/junior flavorist Michael Morrison.
Wright and Bongiorno reviewed:
- cis-3-Hexenyl acetate
- gamma-Decalactone
- delta-Decalactone
- Osmanthus absolute
- Blackcurrant buds absolute
- Antillone
- Methyl dihydrojasmonate
- Elderflower absolute
Lipka and Morrison reviewed:
- gamma-Valerolactone Natural
- Rosehip Extract
- 1,1-Diethoxy-3-Methylbutane
- Kabosu Oil
- Cinnamyl Isovalerate, Natural
- Magnolia Flower Oil, P&N
The full evaluation of these materials will be shared in the January 2025 issue of Perfumer & Flavorist+, stay tuned!
