Natural and Organic: the Emerging Revolution

What’s driving the biggest dynamic shift in the F&F industry? Imagine a world in which the price of gasoline is 25 cents a gallon, where Starbucks Frappuccinos are nutritious and contain no calories, and you actually like your mother-in-law. Unrealistic, perhaps, but for those involved in the organic world, and organic personal care specifically, the announcement in August 2005 that the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) will allow for USDA certification of personal care products was received with equal disbelief.

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.

The relationship between odor and flavor

A flavorist will automatically do the same thing—that is, smell the product before tasting it. The reason is, of course, that odor and flavor are two facets of the same sensation. With this in mind, let us discuss the meaning of odor and flavor, examining in particular some of the latest knowledge in the field.

Total syntheses of spirovetivanes and khusimone

The majority of these substances belong to the sesquiterpene group of natural products. Among these α-vetivone, β-vetivone, the norsesquiterpene khusimone, and three biogenetically derived C12-ketones provided the most exciting chemistry. Since the spiroketone and khusimone appear to play a significant role in the reconstitution of the essential oil, we have developed total syntheses of these substances. In an earlier synthesis of the spiroketone, β-vetivone was utilized as starting material; and more recently it has also been prepared by a photochemical route. Among the many published syntheses of β-vetivone two deserve special mention because of their elegance and stereo selectivity.
