Dictionary of Flavors provides information on flavours, flavour chemistry and natural products, as well as a perspective on the related fields of regulatory, sensory, chemistry, biology, pharmacology, business, bacteriology, marketing and psychology. Flavours covered include those used in food and beverages, tobacco flavourings, alcoholic beverages, and pet and animal foods. Comparative flavour chemistry is used to evaluate and describe homologous groups of similar chemical structures. Coverage in the second edition is extended to include the many significant and recent changes in the fields of flavour chemistry, food technology, and regulatory. Definitions of many items are expanded and inclusion of new items is extensive.
