Vanilla flavor is dominated by phenols and their transformation products mostly derived from enzymatic hydrolysis of the phenyl-β-D-glucosides. Cocoa bean flavor is dominated by Strecker aldehydes and pyrazines and other products generated during the roasting process of the beans.

Extracting the Essence: Comparing Vanilla and Cocoa Processes

Understanding the similarities and differences in biochemistry, chemistry and curing processes of vanilla and cocoa may offer insight into producing high-quality materials.

Endpoint: A Discussion on Natural

What are “natural flavors?” Honey, maple, cocoa, lemon and mint come to mind. But what are they, fundamentally?

Science Notes: The Research and Patent Wire

Recent advances in flavor and fragrance technology and investigation. A closer look at cocoa: Ducki et al. used headspace SPME and GC/MS to examine the aroma profile of cocoa products. The authors employed a number of temperature conditions and extraction times for maximum recovery.

Heterocyclic Compounds in Flavors and Fragrances Part Ill. Pyridine and Derivatives

During the last two decades the role of heterocyclic compounds in food flavors has been reviewed by several authors (18, 78, 79, 117-122). While furans (66), pyrroles (68), thiophenes (61), thiazoles (62, 63, 120), oxazoles (65, 57), Iactones (64), pyrazines (55, 56) and their reduced systems were periodically treated, surprisingly, pyridines which are among the most widely distributed volatile flavor compounds have not been described in detail (69). Therefore, the purpose of this review is to fill this gap.

Formation of Volatile Compounds from the Reaction of Leucine and D-Glucose in Propylene Glycol

This paper reports the identification of volatile compounds resulting from the reaction of leucine and glucose in the common food-grade solvent propylene glycol.

Structure-Activity Relationships of Natural Volatile Nitrogen Compounds

In this paper, we will discuss the sensory properties of various representatives of volatile nitrogen compounds and their structure-activity relationships.

Editor's Note: Strength in Diversity

Consumers continue to request more natural, cleaner, organic, non-GMO and transparently labeled ingredients in their products, which provides the F&F industry an opportunity to look deeper into the "culture" of clean ingredients.

Organoleptic Characteristics of Flavor Materials: November December 2006

Advancements in the Flavor Industry. When I started in the flavor industry, a flavor project basically was a request to compound an artificial flavor. The newly established FEMA or GRAS lists were very limited and initially populated under a grandfather clause. Natural ingredients were limited to citrus, floral and mint oils, as well as other natural botanicals and extractives.

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.

Organoleptic Characteristics of Flavor Materials: March 2016

This month’s column features the live Flavorcon session held on November 15, 2015. Normally for each material, only common descriptors are listed. For this issue, however, all remarks have been included to show the full range of perceptions from the panel and audience.

Copal blanco is a sap found in the pitch pine, which hardens in contact with the air. Also known as the “blood of trees,” it was used in sacred rituals in North American Aztec and Mayan cultures to lift the veil between the spirit realm and the human realm.
