F&F Literature Review: Digitally Crafted Scents and Predicting Flavor and Protein Interaction

This month’s F&F literature review examines digitally crafted molecule design, natural extracts in personal care and predicting flavor partitioning and protein interactions, among other studies.

European Cosmetic Regulatory Update

Personal care products are regulated in the European Union under the 6th Amendment to the Cosmetic Directive 76/768EEC. Changes are made via Technical Adaptations and new Amendments. The recently passed 26th Commission Directive on Technical Adaptations has a significant impact on fragrances and ingredients found in fragrances.

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.

The optical properties of fine fragrances, such as color and transparency, play an important role in consumers’ perception of product quality.

In Silico Spectral Color and Appearance Rendering of Fine Fragrances

An evolving capability may be of interest to color technologists working with liquids when careful color quality control under different viewing conditions is critical.

The European patent—its impact on the flavor and fragrance industry

The European Patent Convention was signed at Munich, Federal Republic of Germany in October 1973 and has come into force in 1978. The so-called “European patent” alleviates the separate filing of patent applications in many countries in Europe.

Fine fragrances with excellent color constancy are desired, since such liquids will generally have the intended appearance regardless of viewing conditions.

PART 2 of 2: Predicting Mixtures, Metamerism and Color Inconstancy

The F&F industry is not against strengthening regulatory frameworks, however, regulatory decisions should be based on sound scientific data, and chemical risks managed by considering hazard and exposure.
