Organoleptic Characteristics of Flavor Materials: January February 2006

Masciano, Michalski and organoleptic evaluation panelists explore a variety of flavor components and applications, such as Cocoa nib extract, 4-hexene-3-one, Cognac Oil Replacer #1447 and more.

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.

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.

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.

Flavor Bites: cis-3-Hexenol

Covering an exceptionally wide range of flavors, moderation is essential when using cis-3-Hexenol in formulations.

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.

Each year, flavor trends emerge, with a recurring theme being the rising demand for clean flavors devoid of unfamiliar or artificial chemicals

How Fermented Flavors Tap into Consumer Desire for Natural, Clean Tastes

This Flavorcon 2024 session by senior innovation scientist, Suja Senan, Ph.D., discusses fermentation and how novel machine-learning approaches.

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.

GCMS as a Tool for Flavor Development

There are diverse extraction, sampling and chromatographic methods, which can be used for the development of flavorings, and the right ones should be chosen for each type of required flavor.

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.

Endpoint: A Discussion on Natural

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

Manufacturing Flavors—How the Industry Produces Uniform Flavors

Our purpose in this paper is to outline how to best carry out completely and economically the total operation of producing and shipping of our flavors. These flavors must meet the total requirements of our customers, our management and certainly pass all the analytical requirements of both our customers and our in-house quality assurance programs. Our primary intent should be that the scaled-up product very closely resembles that flavor we originally created and submitted to our customer who made the long, tedious, and expensive purchasing decision, after many hours of testing, to buy this flavor.

Flavorcon Highlights: Unusual Flavor Ingredients, Biotech and More

The debut of P&F ’s two-day flavor conference in New Jersey engaged all of the senses.
