Tide: The History of the Smell of Clean in North America

Throughout the years, Tide has become synonymous with the scent of clean, while evolving to meet the demands of conscious consumers.

Olfaction Sensitivity in Sleep: The Effects of Fragrances on the Quality of Sleep

A Summary of Research Conducted for the Fragrance Research Fund. Until the series of studies (described below) were conducted only anecdotal accounts but not scientific reports were available concerning olfaction in sleep. We proposed that knowing more about tbe sense of smell in sleep maybe beneficial in terms of safety and in terms of health.

The Importance of Self-Regulation in the Fragrance and Flavor Industry Views of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration

Keeping in mind our shared purposes, I want to discuss with you today the role of the Food and Drug Administration in regulating flavors and fragrances in the United States. I also would like to address the growing importance of international cooperation in regulatory matters.

The Juice: Training the F&F Students of the Future

As the only institution in the world with an accredited Master's program in perfumery, ISIPCA along with industry collaborator, IFF, takes a unique approach in training the future perfumers, evaluators and flavorists of tomorrow.

Evaluation of the Genuineness of Cold-pressed Bergamot Oil

Traditional analyses, high resolution gas chromatographic and chiral analyses.

Use of Multispectral Analysis in the Characterization of a Perfume

This article reports on the use of MSA to characterize the components in a commercially available perfume. The same approach is applicable to any complex essential oil, synthetic blend, or final product.

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.

In vitro antimicrobial studies of the essential oil of Tagetes erects

Tagetes erecta, belonging to the order Compositae, is grown in Indian gardens and is commonly known as “Genda” in Hindi. Its leaves are good for piles, kidney troubles, and muscular pain; its juice is used for earache and opthalmia. The present paper deals with the antimicrobial activity of the essential oil extracted from its leaves by steam distillation in yield of 0.01%.

Effects of Structural Modifications on the Odour of Jasmone Analogues

The odour of 2-alkylcyclopentanones can be radically affected by substituents on the first or second carbon atoms of the side chain, substituents further along the chain having a much lesser effect on the odour character. It is postulated that these effects could be rationalised in terms of obstruction of the carbonyl group by a substituent on the first carbon of the side chain or disruption of the side chain conformation by one on the second position

The Future of Fragrance: Toward a Biotechnology of Scent Creation

How can the molecular biology and neuroscience of olfaction help shine light on the relationship between the molecular properties of an odorant and its odor quality? This question invites many others, because in order to go from stimulus to perception all the intermediate steps need to be understood.

MoCRA created a modern cosmetics regulatory framework designed to advance sound science, safety, innovation, and consumer confidence.
