There’s Chemistry in Them Chili Peppers!

This article describes the chemistry behind the flavor, aroma, and pungency of chili peppers to assist in flavor creation.

Aroma Trades Studies for the 21st Century

The “aroma trades” constitute a global supply chain bringing flavored and fragranced products to enhance consumers’ enjoyment around the world. Within the supply chain is an army of specialists required to maintain and develop the industry.

A Structured Approach toward Standardized Specifications for the Flavor Industry

A structured approach to improving efficiencies, quality and safety.

The Sweet Smell of Standards

We can conclude with confidence that the demand for new international standards in the field of essential oils will continue to grow. We need such standards to facilitate world trade and to promote the quality of the products.

Stability of Beverage Flavor Emulsions

The problems of producing a stable emulsion can be solved by application of colloidal chemistry principles. Factors influencing emulsion stability are: the particle size distribution in the emulsion, density balance of the two phases, adsorption of solid film at interfaces and electrostatic charges on the droplets.

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.

Spices: quality control and standards

Opening Pandora's box is always a surprise. Some of Pandora's surprises by their very nature, have been shown to be highly interesting problems. The cooperation of science with the flavor trade and industry may lead to their solution. Let us hope this will be to the satisfaction of everyone involved.

The Biogenesis of Fruit Flavors: A Continuing Story

The present paper will likewise emphasize the applied aspects of some selected recent results highlighting the morphological and subceellular site of flavor biogenesis, and flavor-producing cell cultures.

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.

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.

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.

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.

A Major Stake for the Future: Authenticating Vanilla With DNA

As vanilla supplies remain volatile, the threat of adulteration and fraud pose a real threat to the F&F industry. In response, authenticating methods like DNA barcoding provides a way to ensure purity and traceability.

References list of flavoring substances in use in the United States

There are over 1700 substances used as flavoring materials in the United States. Many of these are in use in Europe as well. This compilation is an attempt to list all such substances alphabetically both by principal name and by all synonyms as well as to provide reference to the various lists both in the U.S. and Europe that contain these substances. This listing has no legal status. It should, therefore, be used for reference purposes only.

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.

The “Better for You” market is expanding exponentially — thanks to a younger generation of consumers who continue to push the envelope and demand more out of everything they eat and drink.

How to Stay on The Cutting Edge of Better-For-You Flavor Formulation

The market is expanding exponentially—here's how to capitalize.

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.
