The flavour industry has become a vital element in the growth and
success of food and beverage industries worldwide. The development
of many new products is now directly related to the use of the
appropriate flavouring which, among other benefits, has allowed the
use of many novel raw materials. The phenomenal growth of
specialised consumer products offering special tastes, nutritional
benefits or 'convenience' almost always directly involves the use
of a bespoke flavouring. With recent growth in worldwide concern
for environmental issues has come a corresponding concern for the
use of 'natural' ingredients in foods. The flavour industry has
been closely involved, by offering many of its products as natural
alternatives, although the vexed issue of what 'natural' means has
promoted discussion and debate in many quarters. The European
Flavouring Directive has attempted to incorporate a definition.
This is discussed further in chapter 1. The work of the flavourist
remains akin to that of the perfumer, despite inroads made by
sophisticated analytical technology. For example, use of linked gas
chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) instrumentation enables
the skilled analyst to identify most components of a competitor's
flavouring or the minor ingredients of a natural extract. Despite
this, the industry remains a unique blend of art, science and
technology in which the experience and knowledge of the flavourist
is vital.
