Ever wondered how perfumes are developed? Or why different scents
appeal to different people? The Chemistry of Fragrances 2nd Edition
offers answers to these questions, providing a fascinating insight
into the perfume industry, from the conception of an idea to the
finished product. It discusses the technical, artistic and
commercial challenges of the perfume industry in an informative and
engaging style, with contributions from leading experts in the
field. The book begins with a historical introduction and covers
all aspects of the development process - from customer brief to
producing a fragrance including: Ingredients acquisition;
Ingredient design and manufacture; Design and analysis of
fragrance; Sensory aspects including odour perception;
Psychological impact of fragrance; Technical challenges; Safety. An
updated section on the measurement of fragrance discusses the role
of senses in marketing consumer products. This book will appeal to
anyone with an interest in the perfumery business and includes an
extensive bibliography to enable those interested to explore the
field further. It also comes complete with a selection of colour
illustrations and a fragranced page.
Terpenoids play an important part in all our lives, from Vitamin A
and hormones to perfumes and pharmaceuticals. This book provides an
introduction to terpenoid chemistry, concentrating on the lower
terpenoids, but the basic principles taught are also the foundation
for the chemistry of the higher terpenoids. Coverage includes: the
biogenesis of terpenoids; some of the history of the field; the
principles of structural determination; and the importance of
stereochemistry and stereoselective synthesis. Carbocation
chemistry is introduced, as are the principles of total and partial
synthesis. Finally, industrial chemistry (both discovery chemistry
and chemical process development) is discussed, using the volatile
terpenoids of perfumery to illustrate basic concepts. Ideal as both
an introduction to terpenoid chemistry and as a refresher course, A
Fragrant Introduction to Terpenoid Chemistry, with its real-life
problems and appreciation of the relevance of chemistry to everyday
life, will prove invaluable to students, lecturers and
industrialists alike.
