Supercritical fluids for extraction of flavors and fragrances from natural products

The applications discussed in this article have been limited only to flavor and fragrance extraction. It should be noted that supercritical fluid extraction has a much wider range of applications. It can compete directly with two widely used separation process--distillation and solvent extraction.

Flavor Bites: Flavor Companies—Finding the Right Fit

What are the most important factors influencing the career choices of flavorists? Large or small companies? Which is the best?

Strategic Factors for Business Success in the Flavor& Fragrance Industry

We can see around us much evidence of an accelerating rate of change in technology, economy and politics, and last but not least, of social change, These changes will also affect the flavor and fragrance industry in the 1990s. Nevertheless, it can be said that the middle/long-term (1988-1995) growth outlook is relatively favorable.

NEXT: Commoditization and Food/Flavor Safety

Markus Lipp on why adulteration is not a quality issue, but a safety concern.

Bell Flavors & Fragrances featured a rotaing menu featuring a pizza application. On June 4, they featured a Tunisian Date Pizza, formulated with its ingredients.

Finding a Way Forward: IFT19 Looks to the Future of Food and Flavor

As the food and flavor industries brace for uncertain times ahead, food and flavor professionals met at the 2019 Institute of Food Technologists conference to discuss possible solutions and plans for the future.

At its most basic level, precision fermentation is a tool to transform cells into cell factories that assemble “molecules of interest” (desirable products) at a faster rate, resulting in a purer form.

Precision Fermentation is Shaping the Future of Flavor

What a new generation of flavor molecules means for the industry, sustainability and consumer demands.

Spray Drying of Food Flavors. Ill. Optimum Infeed Concentrations for the Retention of Artificial Flavors

The practical aspects of this work are that each flavor encapsulating material will exhibit an optimum concentration for flavor retention. The optimum concentrations determined in our study may not necessarily be the same as in a production facility. This would have to be determined using actual production equipment. If the retention is limited by the ability to atomize, this factor is equipment dependent. It does appear worthwhile to make this determination, however.

Inside Flavors: Real Time Volatile Flavor Release Monitoring and its Flavor/Food Application Using Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry

Understanding how aroma compounds interact with and are released from simple and complex foods. Flavors and fragrances usually are complex mixtures of molecules with different physical properties, including volatility, fat solubility and sensorial characteristics, covering a wide spectrum of threshold values. They are usually present in natural extracts or final products at levels in the order of ppb to ppm.

Are You Prepared for Registration? Specialty Aroma Chemicals Approach Final Finish Line for REACh

December marked the 10th anniversary of the end of the REACh pre-registration phase and the start of the registration phase. This is an important milestone, as the industry faces a final deadline particularly critical for aroma chemicals.

Consumption of flavoring materials as food ingredients and food additives

The basis of quantitative food identity is the consumption of unavoidable and harmless quantities of flavoring materials in the form of traditional foods. Therefore a comprehensive study is needed of the quantitative occurence of flavoring materials in all common foods, such as fruits, vegetable, meat, seafood, cereals, and spices.

Endpoint: From Scent Dieting to Flavor Irritants: ‘Wellness’ in F&F

What does the word wellness bring to mind? Sinking into a neck-deep mud bath? Meditating in a swirl of incense? Hitting the gym four times a week? Or maybe crunching away on home-grown, organically harvested vegetables? Recycling, composting, supporting fair trade, etc., all elicit a sense of wellness in some form.

Natural Source Testing for Flavors and Fragrances

In highly regulated marketplaces where mislabeling could have legal and commercial repercussions, a reliable natural source test is critical at the procurement, research and development, product launch and supply stages.

Spray Drying of Food Flavors - 1.Theory of Flavor Retention

Research to date suggests that optimum flavor retention may be obtained by using as high infeed solids as possible, raising infeed temperature if this permits higher infeed solids levels, choosing a carrier which favors flavor retention and operating the dryer at optimum inlet and exit air temperatures. These suggestions are based on research which has generally dealt with a study of a limited number of volatiles and flavor carriers seldom or never used in the flavor industry.

“Exploding” Formulas, GHS and Other Compliance Issues for Flavor Suppliers

Regulatory must become a core competency of every flavor company today, according to a panel session at the annual convention of the National Association of Flavors & Food-ingredient Systems (NAFFS). This discussion is presented here.
