Perfume and Flavor Synthetics

Cooperation between the Department of Organic Technology (DOT) at ICT Prague and Aroma Co. began in 1970 with research into problems with benzyl-acetate purity. The cooperative first consisted of an expert consultancy, which gradually grew into a systematic expert-research group focused on fi elds of basic research.

Encapsulating Intellectual Property

How does the fragrance industry protect products that perfumers, chemists and formulators create? Historically, the focus was on keeping secrets.

Comment: Protecting Formulas

A forthcoming article in the October issue of Perfumer & Flavorist magazine, “Protecting Formulas,” describes the importance of intellectual property (IP) and what steps can be taken to defend it from inappropriate disclosure

Legal Briefs: 18 Product Alerts in Europe, J&J Ups Talc Offer $1.1 B, Tattoo Pigment Recall, Coppertone Class Action Dropped

This legal briefing includes 18 product citations in Europe for fragrance allergens/prohibited substances; J&J's raised talc settlement offer; a tattoo pigment recalled for microbe contamination; and a dropped class action against Coppertone.

Olfactory Perception in Infants

The research reported here was undertaken to develop new methodology for evaluating olfactory perception in infants. Prior research has shown that, while newborn infants are capable of making fine olfactory discrimination, adult-like odor preferences and aversions are not apparent until five years of age.

Chemotaxonomy of spice plants

The use of systematic chemistry for plant classification is called chemosystematics or chemotaxonomy. The meaningful interpretation of the totality of taxonomoic characters is a difficult task. However, it has contributed much to natural classification.

RIFM Respiratory Program Announced

The Research Institute for Fragrance Materials (RIFM) has announced a five-year respiratory safety research plan that will examine fragrance impact on airway hypersensitivity.

Allergy Prevalence in Fragrance

Despite self-regulation, the fragrance industry still faces continual public health pressure from regulators and other stakeholders seeking to ensure that its products do not cause allergic reactions. A workshop by the International Fragrance Association discusses these issues.

“With WELLMOTION, we are entering a new era where we design fragrances that evoke emotions with intention and precision,” said Caroline Dubourg, director of R&I, consumer goods.

IFRA’s New Code of Practice

The International Fragrance Association (IFRA) has announced that it has issued the first ever complete revision of its Code of Practice published orginally in 1973.

Sensory Perception and Its Mechanisms

A visit to the Monell Chemical Senses Center, January,1988. This report is the result of a visit to Monell aimed at a general review of our present knowledge of the science of taste and olfaction. This in-depth review was gleaned from conversations with the extensive scientific staff.

Odor tenacity of perfumery materials

When perfumers try to compound fragrances, they must pay attention to the nature of the chemicals used in order to create well harmonized fragrances. It will he easier to create fragrances if the constituents of the essential oils going into them, and their chemical and physical natures, are known. In order to create well balanced perfumes one must know not only the odors of the ingredients but also their odor tenacities. Trained perfumers understand these phenomena from experience, but this kind of experimental data may be helpful to young perfumers.

Extracting Plants Using Supercritical Glycerin

With Cannabis sativa as an initial target, supercritical glycerin could be used as a solvent to extract natural bioactive compounds.

Schiff Bases — A Primer

The flavor and fragrance industry uses many classes of chemicals, including a number that otherwise are encountered only rarely outside of organic chemistry textbooks. A good example is Schiff bases, named for their discoverer, German chemist Hugo Schiff (1834-1915). A Schiff base, along with by-product water, is formed by reaction of an aldehyde with a primary amine.

Technology and the Perfumer

Instrumentation. Today, however, we are faced with perfuming the myriad of products which flow from the minds of creative marketing. We now view technology as a God-send, a collaborator, a friend in need and sometimes a scapegoat.

Cognitive Aspects of Perfumery

I would like to talk about perfumers as examples of individuals with expertise, and illustrate the differences between novices (nonperfumers) and experts (perfumers) in the context of odor perceptions.
