Inside Flavors: Real Time Volatile Flavor Release Monitoring and its Flavor/Food Application Using Proton Transfer Reaction Mass Spectrometry

Understanding how aroma compounds interact with and are released from simple and complex foods. Flavors and fragrances usually are complex mixtures of molecules with different physical properties, including volatility, fat solubility and sensorial characteristics, covering a wide spectrum of threshold values. They are usually present in natural extracts or final products at levels in the order of ppb to ppm.

Mood Benefits of Fragrance

IFF developed an interest in aromatherapy in the early 1980s as a potential means for imparting a stress-reducing benefit to fragrance. Aromatherapy is an age-old practice of applying the healing benefits of certain aromatic essential oils. In the traditions of aromatherapy, specific essential oils are stress reducing, whereas others are energizing, and still others can have either effect, depending on the user's state of mind/body interaction. We reasoned that the best way to study the stress-reducing properities of fragrance would be to investigate their physiological effects.

Malodor the neglected opportunity

It is obvious that the solutions to modern odor control problems will in the future be developed in light of a more thorough undestanding of the chemical nature of odors and that the accent on development of control technology will rest firmly on this foundation. The development of practical solutions will result not from the hardware engineer but as a result of the odor chemist developing ingenious solutions which will be supported by hardware designs fashioned to make the best use of this new technology.
