Advancements and Opportunities in Natural-product Extraction: Green Enabling Technologies and Alternative Solvents

Two researchers dig into the future of natural-product extraction in F&F.

Organizations from across the flavor and fragrance industry have been working to secure essential status, maintain the supply chain and ensure regulatory standards are met.

Life as We Know It: Creating the New Normal in the Age of COVID-19

Where do we go from here? We gathered insights from industry organizations on everything from navigating new regulations to sparking creativity in crises.

Aromatherapy: Do Essential Oils Have Therapeutic Properties?

A pleasant odor has always been, and still is, an important factor for people to feel good, and feeling well is synonymous with good health. Therefore, we can conclude that all substances which are able to create a certain amount of well-being and well-feeling possess therapeutic properties and, therefore, can be called therapeutic agents.

Unsaturated Components in the Essential Oil of Anthemis nobilis L. (Roman Chamomile)

French authors recently presented their analytical findings on the oil using the negative chemical ionization technique in mass spectrometry. They tracked the GLC profile of the complete oil with the mass numbers of the quasi-molecular ions [M-H]- in combination with the carboxylate anion RCOO-. Thereby inter alia the presence of five esters derived from methacrylic or crotonic acid was reported, however, without giving definite structural assignments for the individual components. The same holds for eight esters of the angelate or tiglate type, respectively. We have worked in a more traditional way and wish here to present the results concerning some of these methacrylates, crotonates, angelates and tiglates. All esters mentioned by us have proved by comparison with authentic synthetically prepared samples.

Some Aspects Of Qualitative Structure-Odor Relationships

Qualitative odor-structure relationships have been applied for more than a century. The results of these studies are mostly the consequence (outcome) of the application of common sense gathered by experience. Two main features characterize the molecular structures of odorant molecules: “electronicity” (electronic charge distribution over a molecule) and “stereocity” (volume, shape and profile of a molecule).

WFFC Fall Seminar: Regulatory, Flavor Development and Sourcing

The most recent Women in Flavor and Fragrance Commerce (WFFC) fall seminar addressed clean labeling from a variety of value chain perspectives, including regulatory, flavor development, sourcing and product development.

Molecular Surface Analysis: A Computer Assisted Search for Structure-Odor Relationship

The purpose of this article is threefold. First, we shall explain how we have adapted the small computer to carry out comparisons between the surface regions of molecules and to identify regions of significant spatial similarity. Secondly, we shall demonstrate how this method was applied to the development of new synthetic cedarwood tobacco flavorants.

Sacrosantol was compared to N-SWO for its safety and skin benefits, using various in vitro models.

Skin Benefits of Sacrosantol: A Reconstituted Sandalwood Oil Based on Natural and Biotechnology-derived Ingredients

Recent Developments in the Study of Perception: Taste and Smell

In this paper we have tried to give an overview of the present knowledge about olfactory and gustatory perception from a viewpoint that leaves room for practical application of the knowledge. Smells and tastes are often perceived unconsciously by consumers. They evoke personal memories and moods, but can hardly be described adequately, unless specific training is given.

Fine fragrances with excellent color constancy are desired, since such liquids will generally have the intended appearance regardless of viewing conditions.

RIFM's New President Focuses on Science, Society and Assessments

P&F's exclusive interview with James Romine, president, RIFM.

Companies dedicated to sourcing upcycled formulation ingredients are highlighting what’s available while simultaneously supporting a circular and transparent supply chain.

Fragrance Industry Shifts to Repurposed Ingredients to Amplify Sustainability

Investigating the latest sustainability initiative burgeoning within the fragrance industry.

The optical properties of fine fragrances, such as color and transparency, play an important role in consumers’ perception of product quality.

In Silico Spectral Color and Appearance Rendering of Fine Fragrances

An evolving capability may be of interest to color technologists working with liquids when careful color quality control under different viewing conditions is critical.

Perfume Raw Material Safety—The Role of IFRA

The recommendations of IFRA are a description of good manufacturing practices of the fragrance industry. Since the recommendations have been published, they are open to scientific criticism. The fact that they remain unchallenged gives additional weight to their status as a generally accepted expert opinion.
