A Neurobehavioral Analysis of I-Amino Acids as Taste Stimuli

We have described several aspects of amino acid gustatory stimulation in this report. Most convey the same message: despite some peculiarities in response time courses, amino acids bear striking similarities to the salts, acids and sugars which the majority of investigators use as taste stimuli. By determining the gustatory properties of amino acids, future research into nutrition and food selection may proceed in a logical fashion through several levels of nutrient complexity and at successive levels of the nervous system.

Rosmarinus officinalis L. Extract Production Antioxidant and Antimutagenic Activity

This article detailed the optimum conditions for the production of an extract from “Rosmarinus officinalis L.” having antioxidant and antimutagenic activity. A study is now in progress on the identification and isolation of pure active molecules.

Flavour and Authenticity Studies at the TNO-CIVO Food Analysis Institute

It is to be expected that chlorophenols and chloroanisoles will be present in food products in the near fiture. Therefore odourthreshold values in various food products should be determined, and migration of phenols and anisoles from contaminated sources such as packaging materials into food products should be studied.

Synthesis and Aroma Properties of Bis 1,1 and 2,2 (Methylthio) Alkanes

In the current study, we synthesized two series of bis (methylthio) compounds that have not been described in the flavor literature before. The character is distinctly different from that of the reactants, and some interesting fruity and vegetable aromas were obtained.

A Natural and a Pod: Commonalities in Vanilla and Tea Processing

Shared chemistry, biochemistry and processing in tea leaf and vanilla pod.

Sensory Evaluation: Analytical and Affective Testing

The test objective will determine the type of panelist, methodology, appropriate level of statistical risk to endure and how to interpret results to provide an actionable recommendation. All sensory testing can be defined under two categories: Affective Testing and Analytical Testing.

2-Phenylethyl Alcohol: An Aroma Profile

Properties, vegetal sources and pathways of amino acid degradation.

Comparative Analysis of Historical Peppermint Oil from Bulgaria and a Commercial Oil of North American Origin

Chemical composition, olfactory analysis and antibacterial activity

Modern Analysis Methodologies: Use and Abuse

The considerable “user-friendly” nature of the analytical tools may gradually dull the awareness and critical capacities of analysts, sometimes leading them to produce erroneous or unrealistic results. With the help of examples, this article discusses the wide possibilities of certain techniques, and also their limits.

Research article: Biotransformation of Unsaturated Aliphatic Aldehydes Using Baker’s Yeast

Actively fermenting baker’s yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) not only converts aliphatic aldehydes to the corresponding alcohols, but also may reduce certain carbon-carbon double bonds in the same molecule. Furthermore, an in situ acyloin condensation reaction occurs; this bioconversion reaction gives rise to relatively good yields of unsaturated 2,3-diols, which have two carbon atoms more than the corresponding aliphatic aldehyde used as substrate. Baker’s yeast has been used as a reagent in organic synthesis since the beginning of the 20th century, when fundamental studies were initiated on the mechanism of formation of fusel alcohols from the corresponding l-amino acids during the formation of ethanol.

Processing and Biotechnology as a Source of Flavors

There are compelling reasons for growth and development in the area of process flavor and biotechnologically developed flavor. The industry looks upon these technologies as allowing for the creation of more natural components with, in general, a wider dynamic range of use.

Toxins, aflatoxins, natural toxicants and antinutrients in foods.

Safety data required for food additives. To deal effectively with food additives and safety requirements for them, there must be a constructive relationship between the flavor industry and the legislators. But that is not enough. The attitudes of the more vocal members of the community have had a good deal to do with regulatory and legislative principles under which we operate. We are not going to change those principles without changing some of the underlying attitudes. To achieve this, some new perspectives will be necessary.

Biological Systems and Flavors: Science, Technology and Applications

This article aims to capture the bond between science, technology and applications in the area of natural flavors. Demand for naturals has stimulated research to find effective and efficient solutions to scientific questions and practical problems.

Advances in the Chemistry of Nitriles and Amides

Nitriles and amides represent two important families of organic compounds containing respectively, a CN or a CONR1R2 moiety. Their chemistries are very much intertwined because either family can serve as a feedstock for the other.

Citrus essential oils face a number of issues that can alter their composition or quality from season to season and even within a given season.

Essential Oils and Citrus Blends: Maintaining Quality Amidst Rising Costs and Adulteration

Discover the innovative strategies and testing techniques they are adopting to ensure that every drop meets the highest standards, even in a volatile market.

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.

Development of instrumental analytical methods for essential oils and aroma chemicals

The ultimate purpose of our products and the reason for our industry, to provide consumers with products which please their taste or smell, today and for generations to come has not changed. Safety has always been and will continue to be our most fundamental concern. We are known to respond to problems long before government regulations can be or have to be enacted. Our technology points toward a bright future for the fragrance and flavor industry.
