This 6th edition is thoroughly revised and updated, and now additionally includes all commercially important flavor and fragrance materials that entered the market over the past 10 years. In one handy and up-to-date source, this classic reference surveys those natural and synthetic materials that are commercially available, produced, and used on a relatively large scale, covering their properties, manufacturing methods employed, and areas of application. For this new edition the chapter on essential oils has been completely revised with regard to production volumes, availability, and new product specifications, while new legal issues, such as REACH regulation aspects, are now included. Finally, the CAS registry numbers and physicochemical data of over 350 single substances and 100 essential oils have been updated and revised.

Get a good start in flavor and fragrance chemistry! This book presents a survey of those natural and synthetic fragrance and flavor materials which are commercially available, produced and used on a relatively large scale and which are important ingredients for the creation of fragrance and flavor compositions because of their specific sensory characteristics, e.g., smell, taste. It provides information on their properties, methods employed in their manufacture, and their areas of application. This is the 5th edition of the classic "Bauer-Garbe". '...The excellent and concise introduction to this unique industry is followed by extensive information on nearly 500 of the most used fragrance and flavor compounds. Names, molecular formula, physical data, odor and flavor descriptions, uses, and a number of processes for the larger scale production of chemicals are all included. Successive chapters deal with essential oils, animal secretions, quality control, toxicology and literature. The formula, name and CAS registry number index are an invaluable and timely addition.' - Parfumer and Flavorist '...Data that would normally have to be selected from many different books are available in one source with this book...with over 800 citations throughout the text, this is a nearly inexhaustible source of information.' - Euromaterials

Like the first edition (1984), the second is taken from the analogous chapter of Ullmann's encyclopedia of industrial chemistry. Aimed at the general chemist working in such industries as food, cosmetics, detergents, and pharmaceuticals, presents a survey of natural and synthetic fragrance and flavor materials that are produced commercially on a large scale or are important because of their specific organoleptic properties. Provides information on structure, characteristics, methods of manufacture, and applications. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

A perfumer's and flavorist's practical description of available materials, their origin, production and processing, appearance, odor and flavor type, evaluation, application and availability with brief notes on their main constituents, replacements and most common adulterants.

Modern flavours and fragrances are complex formulated products,containing blends of aroma compounds with auxiliary materials,enabling desirable flavours or fragrances to be added to a hugerange of products. From the identification and synthesis ofmaterials such as cinnamaldehyde and vanillin in the 19th Centuryto the current application of advanced analytical techniques foridentification of trace aroma compounds present in naturalmaterials, the flavour and fragrance industry has developed as akey part of the worldwide specialty chemicals industry. With contributions mainly coming from industry based experts,Chemistry & Technology of Flavours and Fragrancesprovides a detailed overview of the synthesis, chemistry andapplication technology of the major classes aroma compounds. Withseparate chapters covering important technical aspects such as thestability of aroma compounds, structure – odour relationshipsand identification of aroma compounds, this book will be essentialreading for both experienced and graduate level entrants to theflavour & fragrance industry. It will also serve as animportant introduction to the subject for chemists andtechnologists in those industries that use flavours and fragrances,eg food, cosmetics & toiletries, and household products.

This book is an introduction to the world of aroma chemicals, essential oils, fragrances and flavour compositions for the food, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industry. Present technology, the future use of resources and biotechnological approaches for the production of the respective chemical compounds are described. The book has an integrated and interdisciplinary approach on future industrial production and the issues related to this topic.

Modern flavours and fragrances are complex formulated products containing blends of aroma compounds with auxiliary materials, enabling desirable flavours or fragrances to be added to a huge range of products. The flavour and fragrance industry is a key part of the worldwide specialty chemicals industry, yet most technical recruits have minimal exposure to flavours and fragrances before recruitment. The analytical chemistry of flavour and fragrance materials presents specific challenges to the analytical chemist, as most of the chemicals involved are highly volatile, present in very small amounts and in complex mixtures. Analytical Methods for Flavor and Fragrance Materials covers the most important methods in the analysis of flavour and fragrance materials, including traditional and newly emerging methodologies. It discusses the capabilities of the various analytical methods for flavour and fragrance analysis and guides the newcomer to the most appropriate techniques for specific analytical problems.
