PREVIEW: Fusarium and Vanilla: Time to Worry?

Deadly Fusarium has taken root in Madagascar; Hank Kaestner wonders if the industry is ready for the aftermath.

The Role of Microorganisms in Vanilla Curing

Part 2: Microbial transformation of phenols and other compounds

Vanilla flavor is dominated by phenols and their transformation products mostly derived from enzymatic hydrolysis of the phenyl-β-D-glucosides. Cocoa bean flavor is dominated by Strecker aldehydes and pyrazines and other products generated during the roasting process of the beans.

Extracting the Essence: Comparing Vanilla and Cocoa Processes

Chemical Characterization of Vanilla pompona Scheide, Part I

In this four-part series, researchers extensively study the composition of Vanilla pompona for fragrance applications. Here, existing literature on V. pompona is reviewed and compared with V. tahitensis and V. planifolia. Test protocols for GC-MS and DTD-GC-MS are described, and some results are discussed.

The flavor of cured vanilla beans contains a complex mixture of aroma and taste compounds.

Raw materials: Chemical and Biochemical Changes Occurring During the Traditional Madagascan Vanilla Curing Process

Effects on the sensory qualities of cured beans.

Part 2. The Role of Plant Microstructure, Compartmentation and Senescence in Vanilla Curing

This review is the second in a two-part series. It considers the effect of the senescence process and the decompartmentation that occurs as a consequence of microstructure disassembly of the vanilla pod.

Toxins, aflatoxins, natural toxicants and antinutrients in foods.

Safety data required for food additives. To deal effectively with food additives and safety requirements for them, there must be a constructive relationship between the flavor industry and the legislators. But that is not enough. The attitudes of the more vocal members of the community have had a good deal to do with regulatory and legislative principles under which we operate. We are not going to change those principles without changing some of the underlying attitudes. To achieve this, some new perspectives will be necessary.

Essential Oils Of Tagetes minuta From Brazil

The Tagetes genus, which is widespread throughout the world, is very rich in species containing essential oils, like most members of the Compositae family. A new interest in the essential oil of Tagetes minuta L. has been growing recently due to its flavor and fragrance properties. However, the increase in diseases caused by the mosquito Aedis aegypti in Brazil has stimulated research toward control of this insect using non-classical approaches.
