Flavours and Fragrances of Plant Origin

Mehr zum Buch

Flavours and fragrances are an important group of non-wood forest products. This publication contains information about sources, uses, manufacturing processes, markets, research needs and development potential of nine selected flavours and fragrances of plant origin. The selected flavours and fragrances represent the different varieties or types of the product. Countless numbers of such flavours and fragrances have found their way via essential oils into everyday life, for foods, drinks and confectionary items; products of personal use such as perfumes, deodorants, shampoos, soaps, toothpastes and mouth washes; pharmaceutical preparations to mask disagreeable tastes; items used in the house or office or in industry such as air fresheners, detergents, cleaning agents and the like; tobacco products and so on. The purpose of this publication is to disseminate useful information on this important group of products and thereby to promote their development.
