EFSA: Aspartame Safe at Current Levels of Exposure

Following a thorough review of evidence provided both by animal and human studies, experts have ruled out a potential risk of aspartame causing damage to genes and inducing cancer.

Essential Oils and Microwave Extracts of Cultivated Plants

We have used these two methods to treat different cultivated plants: five Umbelliferae, one Compositae and seven Labiatae. There is a double purpose for this approach. First, we want to determine the advantages and disadvantages of this technique in terms of research. Secondly, we intend to make appropriate comparisons between microwave extracts and essential oils coming from the aerial part of these plants.

EU Removes Certain Entries from List of Approved Flavoring Sustances

A number of flavorings have been removed from the European Union's list of approved flavoring substances due to low volume and/or a need for additional data.

Progress in Essential Oils: Sweet Fennel Oil and Extract

In this column, Brian M. Lawrence reviews the composition of sweet fennel oil and extract as found by various researchers. For example, a commercial sample of sweet fennel oil was screened for its anti-platelet activity by Tognolini et al. (2006) and Guerini et al. (2006) using GC-FID and GC/MS. Results are reported herein.

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
