Get a good start in flavour and fragrance chemistry This book presents a survey of those natural and synthetic fragrance and flavour materials which are commercially available, produced and used on a relatively large scale and which are important ingredients for the creation of fragrance and flavour 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. 'The excellent and concise introduction to this unique industry is followed by extensive information on nearly 500 of the most used fragrance and flavour compounds. Names, molecular formula, physical data, odour and flavour descriptions, uses, and a number of processes for the larger scale production of chemicals are all included.

The formula, name and CAS registry number index are an invaluable and timely addition.' - Parfumer and Flavorist.
