Flavours and Fragrances is an introduction to aroma chemicals, essential oils, fragrances and flavour compositions for the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry.
The present state-of-the-art technology, the future use of resources and biotechnological approaches for the production of the respective chemical compounds are described.
A large section is devoted to the description of the renewable resources of flavours: spice plants, fruits from moderate to tropical climates, vegetables, fermented and heated plants.
Analytical methods, such as gas chromatography coupled to human or electronic noses or to a mass spectrometer, are outlined and consumer trends, legal and safety aspects are described.
