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.

The Oxidative Stability and Retention of Limonene-based Model Flavor Plated on Amorphous Silica and Other Selected Carriers

Evaluating effectiveness of amorphous silicas as flavor carriers, versus traditional flavor carriers.

Enantiomeric Distribution of Oxygenated Monoterpenes in Some Mentha Essential Oils

In this research we analyzed chiral oxgenated monoterpenes, which are the predominant and most valuable monoterpenes in Mentha oils.This technique enables us to determine the enantiomeric purities of other components in the oils, such as monoterpene hydrocarbons and sesquiterpenes

A New Method of Separation of Citral from Lemongrass Oil

Although many methods are known for the separation of citral from lemongrass (Cymbopogen flexuosus) oil, like fractional distillation, adduct formation and regeneration, the purity and the yield of citral as separated are not satisfactory. A new method for separation of citral in pure form and in near quantitative yield uses the column chromatographic technique. This method may also be adapted for large scale separation of citral and hence can be of commercial importance.

Comparative Investigations of the Essential Oil and Volatiles of Spearmint

The objective of this work is to identify the fragrance compounds of this oil and its SPME-headspace by means of gas chromatographic- spectroscopic (GC and GC/MS using different polar and chiral phases) and olfactoric methods (GC-sniffing technique and olfactory correlations) to find out the importance of each single constituent with their specific odor attributes, responsible for the characteristic and pleasant spearmint aroma for the first time.

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.
