Science Notes: The Research and Patent Wire

Recent advances in flavor and fragrance technology and investigation. A closer look at cocoa: Ducki et al. used headspace SPME and GC/MS to examine the aroma profile of cocoa products. The authors employed a number of temperature conditions and extraction times for maximum recovery.

Il. Scientific Prospects from 1.5 Million Responses

Our collaboration with the National Geographic Society on the Smell Survey is particularly gratifying. As scientists, it is part of our responsibility to inform the public. And as researchers, it is our hope to tap ever greater sources of information about human physiology and behavior. I believe these two goals are beautifully intertwined in this project.

New compounds with small rings in essential oils

Despite the continuing discovery of new synthetic fragrance raw materials, essential oils still remain the other half of the foundation of perfumery. Consequently, the analysis of essential oils is still very much of interest, as is illustrated by the excellent series of articles by Lawrence in this journal. We now wish to report a number of products containing small (three-, four-, and five-membered) rings, most of which are found for the first time in essential oils. These products were isolated by chemical group separation, liquid and gas chromatography, whereupon the structures were determined by mass, infrared and NMR spectroscopy. All structures were confirmed by synthesis. The essential oils used were obtained from regular commercial sources.
