Searching the patent literature for flavor and fragrance materials

When searching the perfumery or flavor use of a chemical, novel or not, two places in each classification system should be searched: all organoleptic use class(es), and the chemical per se class. At a minimum, the search should cover the U.S. Classification system, the International Patent Classification, the standard chemical literature (e.g. Beilstein and Chemical Abstracts), and the standard literature of our industry: Bedoukian’s Perfumery and Flavoring Synthetics, Arctander’s Perfume and Flavor Chemicals (Aroma Chemicals) Vol. I and II, and the Fritzsche library bulletin.

The Search For Scent

Gliding silently across the canopy of a coastal rainforest in the Masoala Peninsula of northeastern Madagascar, Roman Kaiser knew he was on to something good. “Can you smell this unique scent of White Freesia and Robina — which tree might it be — we have to go closer,” Kaiser said to his ScentTrek teammate and Givaudan executive perfumer, Dave Apel.

The Search for New Aroma Chemicals

lthough up to 10,000 natural and synthetic aroma chemicals exist, the search for new or improved products is ongoing in the flavor and fragrance industry (F-1). The search for new substances starts with the analysis of the possible benefits, the existing knowledge and the routes that can be followed.

Molecular Surface Analysis: A Computer Assisted Search for Structure-Odor Relationship

The purpose of this article is threefold. First, we shall explain how we have adapted the small computer to carry out comparisons between the surface regions of molecules and to identify regions of significant spatial similarity. Secondly, we shall demonstrate how this method was applied to the development of new synthetic cedarwood tobacco flavorants.

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.

Research Wire

An overview of recent F&F science Chewing gum: R.V. Potineni and D.G. Peterson had a couple of interesting publications regarding flavor release in chewing gum. First, the pair reported that the release of the sugar alcohol phase in sugar-free chewing gum was directly related to the release profile of cinnamaldehyde in the same product. The authors examined a number of flavor solvents in the study, including triacetin, propylene glycol and medium chained triglycerides.

Creativity and Research A New Compatibility

Looking at maps like these is a fairly imprecise thing. These maps are averages and general, but what we have the ability to do for the perfumer is to make use of the reference set. We can show this map but really not as our last word on the subject, but as our first advice about a general direction.
