Safety Aspects of Flavors and Fragrances

The flavor and fragrance industry has, for a long time, been conscientious about the safety of its products, From the very beginning it has participated in the development of safety evaluations and regulations for flavors and fragrances, both in the US and Europe. In this paper the developments of both flavors and fragrances will be summarized. The difference in approach in these two areas will be discussed, as well as possible future developments.

Enantiomeric Odor Differences and Gas Chromatographic Properties of Flavors and Fragrances.

Enantiomers of flavors and fragrances show characteristic differences in odor and taste; thus, the enantiomer composition is an important property that should be determined by analytical resolution on a chiral stationary phase in gas chromatography.

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.

Minor components in natural flavors and fragrances

Fragrances and flavors are most often constituted by numerous components, of which certain particularly powerful ones are detected in dilutions of the order of a gram per metric ton and even lower. The increasing importance of these minor components is not always realized by most specialists in our profession. Yet, these minor components constitute a future field for fundamental research and for industrial applications with economic consequences.

Searching the patent literature for flavor and fragrance materials

When searching the perfumery or flavor use of a chemical, novel or not, two places in each classification system should be searched: all organoleptic use class(es), and the chemical per se class. At a minimum, the search should cover the U.S. Classification system, the International Patent Classification, the standard chemical literature (e.g. Beilstein and Chemical Abstracts), and the standard literature of our industry: Bedoukian’s Perfumery and Flavoring Synthetics, Arctander’s Perfume and Flavor Chemicals (Aroma Chemicals) Vol. I and II, and the Fritzsche library bulletin.
