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.

Vanilla Enters the World of Genomics

Within the last few years, the development of new DNA sequencing technologies has revolutionized the study of crop plants. New technologies are now available that provide high-throughput DNA sequence coverage at low cost, making their application to smaller crops possible. Two research groups are currently applying these new technologies to Vanilla planifolia to study some of the important issues with Vanilla, such as disease susceptibility and vanillin biosynthesis.

A Natural and a Pod: Commonalities in Vanilla and Tea Processing

Shared chemistry, biochemistry and processing in tea leaf and vanilla pod.

Beta-Cyclodextrin

Recent advances in enzyme technology, coupled with increased scale production, have brought β-cyclodextrin (BCD) to a point where it can be used economically in food and cosmetic applications, although it cannot be considered as a cheap carrier. Many workers, however, are finding applications for its unique properties and stabilizing ability. In such cases it is cost effective.

NEXT: Sensory Frontiers

Healthier flavors, quantitatively emotionally engaging fragrances and other sensory frontiers sit at the intersection of product innovation and basic research; that’s where the Monell Center and its industry sponsors come in.
