Editor’s Note: Growing Beyond F&F

Despite changing consumer demands and regulatory restrictions, the F&F industry is growing and meeting the challenges with innovation.

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.

The Ritual of Bathing

Whether we wish to simmer in the scented suds of our personal bathtubs or sweat it out with the crowds at the banya, we are truly seeping in tradition and ritual… all the while honoring ancient practices.

Base-catalysed of terpenes

We have projected in the foregoing survey significant advances in the isomerisation of terpenes by base catalysis. Invoking this technique, it si seen how many of the delicate reactions are smoothly accomplished, adding new dimensions to terpene technology. How terpenes, which are notoriously sensitive to thermal and proton impact, have been engineered in the desired direction through base catalysis is an important chapter in the history of terpene chemistry.

Fragrance and Social Behavior

My research on fragrance and social behavior is concerned with how people use fragrances to create social images and to play social roles. As a social psychologist, I am well aware that people employ a wide variety of strategies and tactics, some subtle and others not-so-subtle, to control the images they convey to others. With the support of the Fragrance Research Fund, we are looking at the role that people’s choices of fragrances (that is, their perfumes, their colognes, their after-shaves) play in the fashioning of images.

Bell Senses Trending Scents

Bell Flavors & Fragrances announces a variety of new fragrance compositions for 2016.

The Biochemistry and Psychology of Perfumery

The experimental work described int his paper represents some of the first attempts to study perfumery phenomena in an academic environment. Many complex questions to be asked about our reactions to fragrances are best tackled in a research group which is removed from the daily pressures of a manufacturing environment. There is increasing interest in chemoreception research.

The biosynthesis of terpene compounds

From Wallach's isoprene rule to Ruzieka's biogenetic isoprene rule, the monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes have played a significant role in the development of basic concepts concerning the origin of all terpenoid compounds. Yet, while our understanding of the biosynthesis of higher terpenoids, such as steroids, has flourished progress in the biochemistry of monoterpenes and sesquiterpenes has been relatively slow--due in large part to the chemical nature of the mono- and sesquiterpenes (volatility, instability, and so forth) and to the experimental difficulties associated with the plants that produce these compounds.
