Preface Since publication of the first edition of Fenaroli’s Handbook of Flavor Ingredients in 1971, Fenaroli’s has remained the standard reference for flavor ingredients throughout the world. Each subsequent edition has listed more substances, including those conferred food additive status, substances generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by qualified scientists (including the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers’ Association [FEMA] Expert Panel) and those substances having undergone GRAS Notification with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The fourth and fifth editions added 300+ entries and represented a total reorganization and updating of the text, consistent with new data and regulations. This edition is likewise expanded with over 200 new entries, including many botanicals and other natural substances. The addition of botanicals is a response to an expanded readership with an interest in dietary supplements, in which a number of flavoring botanicals serve a dual role.
It has been too often assumed that the GRAS substance may be used in any food, at any level for any purpose. As a result, the uses of some GRAS food ingredients have proliferated to the point where the GRAS status was brought into serious question. (Federal Register 39:34194-34195, 1974.)
There are, of course, exceptions to all of the preceding, but each must be evaluated according to its own merits; and for these judgments, the opinion of experts in toxicology and regulations should be sought. Frequently asked questions regarding the meaning of “safe,” “common knowledge,” “notified substance,” etc., are addressed in 62 Fed. Reg. 18937 (April 17, 1997) or log on to http:// www.burdockgroup.com.
Safety-in-Use GRAS, Dietary Supplements
and Other Terms of Art, Science and Regulation The reader is cautioned that GRAS status and approval for use as a dietary supplement* should not be confused, for they are not the same and not even related.† Both the statutory and regulatory language is very clear in making the distinction between these two entities. Even the standard for determining safety of GRAS versus dietary supplements is different.‡ For the same reasons, dietary supplements are often not GRAS (nor are food additives, for that matter) and cannot be added to food for the purpose of providing a dietary supplement.§ Please be aware that a GRAS designation is not sufficient for lawful use as a dietary supplement and vice versa. Ingredients not used before in dietary supplements must undergo the New Dietary Ingredient Notification (NDIN) process with FDA (Web site; www.fda.gov [search NDIN]). If you need help in preparing an NDIN or a GRAS determination, go to www.burdockgroup.com or contact us at 407-802-1400. The reader should also note that a substance is GRAS for no other purpose (e.g., a flavor ingredient) and at no other amount (i.e., level of use) than for which it was approved. The position of the FDA was reasserted with the following statement:
Most, but not all, of the ingredients cited in this book are either foods or products thereof that are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) or have food additive status. Also, as noted above, there are exceptions to every rule and this is no less true in determinations of safety. Therefore, while there is an obligation on the original approving party to ensure safety-in-use at the time of approval, there is no assurance that all scientific data continue to support the original determination of safety. For example, safrole, coumarin and cinnamyl anthranilate, all once commonly used and presumed safe, are now prohibited from addition to food by FDA (21 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) §189) as a result of adverse data coming to light. Likewise, FEMA has withdrawn GRAS status for nine substances, including alknet root extract (FEMA No. 2016), 2-methyl-5-vinylpyrazine (FEMA No. 3211), musk ambrette (FEMA No. 2758) and o-vinylanisole (FEMA No. 3248). These substances are no longer considered safe and cannot be added to food. The bottom line is that the user of the substance is responsible for ensuring its safe use. Therefore, the reader is urged to make a determination of safety based on contemporaneous data, not simply historical information that may be outdated.
More appropriately, this means lack of objection by FDA for use as a dietary supplement ingredient. † For a definition of GRAS, see the definition of “food additive” in Section 201(s) of the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetic Act as Amended. For a definition of a dietary supplement, see Section 201(ff) of the Act. ‡ The reader is referred to a discussion of this distinction (Burdock, 2000, Dietary supplements and lessons to be learned from GRAS, Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology 31:68-76). Copies are also available upon request at www.burdockgroup.com. § A “nutrient supplement” may be added to food, but this is also distinct from a dietary supplement. See 21 CFR §170.3(o)(20) for a definition. *

Introduction
Definition of a Flavor As might be expected, the definition of a flavor will vary according to the source. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) defines flavoring agents and adjuvants as “substances added to impart or help impart a taste or aroma in food” (21 CFR §170.3(o) (12)). The FDA identifies flavor enhancers as “substances added to supplement, enhance, or modify the original taste and/or aroma of a food, without imparting a characteristic taste or aroma of its own”* (21 CFR §170.3(o)(11)). To forestall the next question, what constitutes a natural flavor, is described in 21 CFR §101.22(a)(3) as follows: The term natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof, whose significant function in food is flavoring rather than nutritional. Natural flavors include the natural essence or extractives obtained from plants listed in §§182.10, 182.20, 182.40, and 182.50 and part 184 of this chapter, and the substances listed in §172.510 of this chapter.
This distinction between artificial and natural serves as a basis for labeling and because of market pressures, the term natural is preferred for the label over any description that might include the word artificial. Also, the term artificial is separate and distinct from the term imitation (See 21 CFR §101.3). The term nature identical once used widely to designate a substance, although present in nature, may also be produced synthetically. For example, natural benzaldehyde is produced from the pits of peaches, but this process has a rather low yield and produces waste material (cyanide) for which disposal is costly. On the other hand, production of benzaldehyde from chemical feedstock is much more economical and is putatively the same as that produced from nature; therefore, it is nature identical. The use of this term is an artifact of regulation because at one time the approval process in some European countries was much easier for those substances with a natural counterpart. The term nature identical was never embraced by the FDA and has largely been superseded by the term chemically defined substance. The nature identical designation is still used by the International Organisation of Flavour Industries (IOFI). The European Community (EC) Directive 88/388† addresses “flavouring,” “flavouring substance” and even “flavouring preparation,” which designates a flavoring resulting from a process, such as enzymatically developed flavors in cheese. In all, the directive extends over several pages and includes definitions, specifications and provisions for further action on items, including limits on production methods and nonflavor ingredients in flavors (including preservatives, solvents and processing aids).
This broad definition also embraces thermally processed flavors and smoke flavors and flavors such as “natural vanillin,” which requires naturally occurring precursors, such as ferulic acid to enzymatic/fermentive processes to make vanillin, that are by this definition, natural. Artificial flavors are as described in 21 CFR §101.22 (a)(1):
The term artificial flavor or artificial flavoring means any substance, the function of which is to impart flavor, which is not derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, fish, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof. Artificial flavor includes the substances listed in §§172.515(b) and 182.60 of this chapter except where these are derived from natural sources.
*
Flavor enhancers include such substances as monosodium glutamate (MSG) or inositol with no specific taste of their own, but an ability to enhance other flavor ingredients. Also, substances commonly used as flavors or sweeteners (such as cinnamon or aspartame), but used at concentrations below their own threshold of perception, may also enhance the flavor of other ingredients.
†
1. This Directive shall apply to ‘flavourings’ used or intended for use in or on foodstuffs to impart odour and or taste, and to source materials used for the production of flavorings. 2. For the purposes of this Directive: a. ‘flavouring’ means flavouring substances, flavouring preparations, process flavourings, smoke flavourings or mixtures thereof; b. ‘flavouring substance’ means a defined chemical substance with flavouring properties which is obtained: i. by appropriate physical processes (including distillation and solvent extraction) or enzymatic or microbiological processes from material of vegetable or animal origin either in the raw state or after processing for human consumption by traditional food-preparation processes (including drying, torrefaction and fermentation)
A directive sets out minimum standards and when adopted by the member states may be made more stringent. A regulation is directly applicable to the member states without any need to transpose into national law.

Introduction ii. by chemical synthesis or isolated by chemical processes and which is chemically identical to a substance naturally present in material of vegetable or animal origin as described in (i) iii. by chemical synthesis but which is not chemically identical to a substance naturally present in material of vegetable or animal origin as described in (i) c. ‘flavouring preparation’ means a product, other than the substances defined in (b) (i), whether concentrated or not, with flavouring properties, which is obtained by appropriate physical processes (including distillation and solvent extraction) or by enzymatic extraction) or by enzymatic or microbiological processes from material of vegetable or animal origin, either in the raw state or after processing for human consumption by traditional food-preparation processes (including drying torrefaction and fermentation); d. ‘process flavouring’ means a product which is obtained according to good manufacturing practices by heating to a temperature not exceeding 180oC for a period not exceeding 15 minutes a mixture of ingredients, not necessarily themselves having flavouring properties, of which at least one contains nitrogen (amino) and another is a reducing sugar; e. ‘smoke flavouring’ means a smoke extract used in traditional foodstuffs smoking processes. 3. Flavourings may contain foodstuffs as well as other substances as described [elsewhere]
This directive is binding on member states, except if a member state determines that the regulation or regulated substance may constitute a danger to the health of the citizens or environment of the member state, it may suspend or restrict the use of that chemical within the borders of the member state. The Council of Europe (CoE) uses a fairly broad definition of flavor:
Interestingly, the Joint (WHO/FAO) Expert Committee on Food Additives and Contaminants (JECFA) has no definition of what constitutes a flavor—artificial or natural. Nonregulatory organizations have slightly different views of the term flavor. The International Organization of Flavour Industries indicates a flavor as a “concentrated preparation, with or without solvents or carriers, used to impart flavor, with the exception of only salty, sweet, or acid tastes. It is not intended to be consumed as such.” This definition brings up an interesting point not addressed by regulations: that is, a flavor is not intended to be consumed in and by itself; it is always incorporated in a delivery system (at the very least as a flavor in mineral water or as a sweetened flavor poured over shaved ice). The Society of Flavor Chemists describes a flavor to be “a substance that may be a single chemical entity or a blend of chemicals of natural or synthetic origin whose primary purpose is to provide all or part of the particular effect to any food or other product taken into the mouth.” As descriptive as various organizations or regulatory agencies might be in their definitions, none is so comprehensive as the following: Flavor is the sum of those characteristics of any material taken in the mouth, perceived principally by the senses of taste and smell, and also the general pain and tactile receptors in the mouth, as received and interpreted by the brain.*
This definition reminds us that flavor can be an experience as well as a sensation. Consider the pain, bite and heat associated with capsicum (red pepper), piperine (black pepper) and allylisothiocyanate (horseradish) as part of the “total experience” of eating food. This experience also forms associations needed for future discriminations, both negative and positive. For example, it is possible to make banana-flavored potato chips, but the crunchy texture would be incongruous with the taste. Conversely, we have long enjoyed pineapple-flavored hard candy, which in reality tastes nothing like the fruit, but has long been accepted as how a pineapple candy should taste.
A flavouring substance is a chemically-defined compound which has flavouring properties. It is obtained either by isolation from a natural source or by synthesis. Flavouring properties are those which are predominantly odour-producing and which may also affect the taste.

Glossary Absolute: A material extracted from a plant that represents a concentrated form of that material and is extremely similar to the starting material in taste and odor. Usually, this term refers to the alcoholic extract of a “concrete” (see below). Absolutes are not used widely for compounding flavors. Acidulant: An agent that serves several purposes in modern food processing, in addition to its major role of rendering foods more palatable and stimulating to the consumer. In flavoring agents, acidulants may intensify certain tastes, blend unrelated taste characteristics or mask undesirable aftertastes. Acidulants affect only flavor, not aroma; therefore, while citric acid may be an acidulant, acetic acid is not. ADI (acceptable daily intake): An estimate of the amount of a substance in food or drinking water expressed on a body-weight basis that can be ingested daily over a lifetime without appreciable risk (assuming the average adult body weight to be 60 kg). The ADI is given in milligrams per kilogram body weight (mg/kg). ADI “not limited”: A term that is no longer used by JECFA and has been supplanted with “ADI not specified.” ADI “not specified”: A term used by JECFA for a food ingredient of very low toxicity that, on the basis of the information supplied to JECFA, at historical levels of use and current levels of use conforming to good manufacturing practices, does not constitute a concern for safety. Antioxidant: An additive to retard oxidation; usually a sterically hindered phenol (see also, Auto-oxidation). Aroma: The odor or fragrance of a flavor. Aromatic (chemical) or aroma chemical: Any chemical that has aroma or flavor properties; not to be confused with the chemist’s definition of a compound containing a benzene ring structure. Artificial: Similar to imitation. It is possible to have a flavor that contains all natural ingredients, but it must be called artificial because it has no counterpart in nature. See also the regulatory definition (21 CFR §101.3). Artificial flavor: Any substance, the function of which is to impart flavor to a food that is not native to that substance. See also the regulatory definition (21 CFR §101.22). Auto-oxidation: A series of spontaneous and degradative reactions that take place in essential oils when they are exposed to air, light, heat or metallic ions. Balsam: Although most often associated with Peru Balsam, any plant (most often, a tree) exudate, soluble in most organic solvents and alcohol, but insoluble in water. Baumé (Bé): A scale of specific gravities used in graduated hydrometers. The scale is used to express the sugar concentration of a syrup or other liquid. Most commercial corn syrups are customarily sold on a Baumé (Bé) basis, which is a measure of the dry substance content
and specific gravity. Baumé determination, however, has been largely superseded by direct determination of refractive index. High fructose corn syrups are sold on a dry substance basis without reference to Baumé. Blender: A material that when added to a substance appears to bring various flavor characteristics together. A blender may or may not introduce a flavor of its own. For example, vanilla can act as a blender. Bottom note: The characteristic left when top and middle notes disappear; the residue when a flavoring evaporates. Brix: A measure of soluble solids (sugars) obtained from the refractive index of a solution. Bulking: Mixing of one or more lots of the same flavorful material to produce a uniform product. The entire crop of an essential oil may be bulked to assure uniformity. Carrier: The diluent or solvent for a flavor. It may be liquid or solid; for example, gum acacia is the carrier for spraydried flavors, whereas alcohol and propylene glycol are the carriers for many liquid-based flavors. CAS No.: Chemical Abstracts Service number. CDER: Center for Drug Evaluation and Review—FDA branch responsible for approval of drugs and excipients. CFR: Code of Federal Regulations; the official document describing regulations promulgated by the FDA. Citrus flavors: Flavors made from the oils and juices of the citrus fruits (e.g., orange, lemon, lime, tangerine, grapefruit, mandarin and bergamot); also, synthetic ingredients used to simulate these flavors. Clouding agent: A flavoring adjunct used to create a translucent or opaque appearance in citrus drinks. CoE: Council of Europe. CoE chemically defined categories: Chemically defined flavoring substances that are divided into Category A: flavoring substances which may be used as foodstuffs (referred to as List 1 substances in previous designations) and Category B: flavoring substances for which further information is required before the Committee of Experts is able to offer a firm opinion on their safetyin-use (referred to as List 2 in previous designations). Category B substances may be used provisionally in foodstuffs. In general, Category A substances are those for which sufficient data were available, although a JECFA ADI may not have been established for all chemicals within the category. Where there is no ADI, the Committee of Experts has proposed practical upper levels to be used for beverages foods and/or other food items. Category B contains substances for which the toxicological data were insufficient for a dispositive opinion on safety-in-use. However, extant data allowed for provisional acceptance, provided that usage levels do not exceed levels designated, and pending the submission of additional data, an ultimate opinion will be rendered. xvii
xviii CoE natural flavouring categories: Category 1—Plants, animals and other organisms, and parts of these or products thereof, normally consumed as food items, herbs or spices in Europe for which it is considered that there should be no restrictions on use. Category 2—Plants, animals and other organisms, and parts of these or products thereof, and preparations derived therefrom, not normally consumed as food items, herbs or spices in Europe, but on the basis of information available, including consumption data, are not considered to constitute a risk to the consumer. Category 3—Plants, etc., normally consumed in Europe, which contain defined “active principles” or “other chemical components” requiring limits on use levels. Category 4— Plants, etc., not normally consumed in Europe, which contain defined “active principles” or “other chemical components” requiring limits on use levels. Category 5—Plants, etc., for which additional toxicological and/ or chemical information is required. These could be temporarily acceptable provided limits for which the “active principles” or “other chemical components” were not exceeded. Category 6—Plants, etc., which are considered unfit for human consumption in any amount. Cold pressing: A process for expressing citrus essential oils by pressure without the use of heat; a process for pressing or squeezing out the oil from the rind of the fruit. Comminution: The process of grinding or breaking into small fragments. Compounds: Not to be confused with the chemist’s definition (i.e., two elements chemically combined), but a flavoring mixture (flavor) composed of two or more substances. These substances can be natural or synthetic, a chemical or an essential oil, an extract or an oleoresin or combinations. Unlike chemical compounds, which are of known fixed compositions, flavor compounds are usually proprietary mixtures. Normally, they are finished flavorings that can be added directly to a product so that no additional flavorings are needed. Concentrated fruit juices: A fruit juice from which the water has been partially removed by some form of evaporation, such as distillation. The juice is usually concentrated to the strength of five to six times the single-fold juice. The essences are usually added back to the concentrate before use. Concentrated or folded citrus oils: Essential oils, such as lemon oil, in which part of the terpene fraction has been removed either by distillation or solvent extraction. The process produces essential oils of greater strength and character, with greater alcohol solubility. They also usually show better stability to oxidation. Concrete: A semisolid mixture containing the essential oil and fatty, waxy materials obtained after extracting the plant tissue, especially flowers, with various solvents. Consumption (annual): From the Priority-based Assessment of Food Additives (PAFA) database, originating from the NAS survey of 1987 (NAS, 1989) and assuming only 60% of poundage was reported.
Glossary Consumption (individual): A per capita estimate of intake (Maximum Survey-Derived Daily Intake or MSDI) based on “disappearance data” from periodic surveys conducted by the National Academy of Sciences under contract to the FDA (NRC, 1989). The last survey was conducted in 1987 and was based on a voluntary reporting by manufacturers of the volume of ingredients produced during the survey year. The assumption is that there is a finite amount of substance available and it is ingested regardless of source at the retail level. The method is easy to use because it divides the total yearly poundage by the population in the survey year and the number of days per year. Some considerations are necessary in the use of the survey data because (1) not all producers participate, it is generally held that the amount reported is a fraction of the actual volume; and (2) not all persons eat all foods each day in each category in which the substance may be found and, conversely, some consumers may seek out the substance; therefore, distribution of consumption may be uneven. In order to compensate for these variables, the FDA assumes (1) only 60% of the actual value was reported and (2) only 10% of the U.S. population (243.9 million in 1987) consumes 100% of the calculated amount (Clydesdale, 1997). Again, the assumption is made for a 60 kg individual. Council of Europe (CoE):* A body of 41 European states, among which have signed the Partial Agreement in the Social and Public Health Field. A Committee of Experts has been appointed by the signers to review the safety of substances added to food. The substances reviewed by CoE are designated as “chemically defined” and “natural flavouring” substances; there are subsets of each designation. Decoction: A solution made by boiling the material to be extracted with a solvent, usually followed by filtration, for example, the preparation of tea. Distillate: A clear, flavorful liquid produced from fruits, herbs, roots, etc., by distillation; also the condensed product separated by distillation. Distillation: The separation of a more volatile part of a substance from those less volatile by vaporizing and subsequent condensation. Two types are generally used: steam and fractional distillation. Distilled oil: The oil separated from a botanical material by distillation methods. Dry solubles: Natural spice oils and/or oleoresins extended on a soluble, dry, edible carrier. EAFUS No.: Everything added to food in the United States (EAFUS) assigned number. EEC: European Economic Community = European Union. EFSA: European Food Safety Authority. EINECS: European Inventory of New and Existing Chemicals. ELINCS: European List of Notified Chemical Substances. *
For definitions of the Council of Europe designations (categories) and an explanation of the principles used, the reader is urged to contact the Council of Europe at www.coe.int/soc-sp.
Glossary Emulsion: A system containing two immiscible liquids in which one is dispersed as very small droplets or globules throughout the other. For example, an emulsion may be water-in-oil or oil-in-water. Encapsulation: A process by which a particle is coated with a partially impermeable layer to retard evaporation and/or chemical reaction. Basically, the material to be protected is wrapped in a wall of impervious material that serves to lock in or entrap the volatile substances. Enhancer: An ingredient that is added to supplement, enhance or modify the original taste and/or aroma of a food without imparting a characteristic taste or aroma of its own. (Examples include maltol, ethyl maltol and monosodium glutamate.) EOA: Essential Oil Association. Essence: Concentrated fragrance or flavorant. In some countries, essence is used to designate volatile oils, but in the United States, this term is commonly applied to alcoholic solutions of volatile oils. Essential oil: An oily substance obtained from plant material through various methods. The essential oil normally has the characteristic taste and odor of the plant from which it was derived. An essential oil is still called a volatile oil as differentiated from a fixed oil. The hydraulically pressed sesame seed yields a fixed oil (sesame oil) that has low odor and is not volatile. The anise seed, upon distillation, yields odorous and volatile oil—oil of anise. Essential oils may have received their name because at one time they were thought to be essential to the life processes of the plant or were the essence of the plant. EU: European Union. Excipient: Any ingredient in a mixture of substances that is not present as an active ingredient and may include solvents, preservatives, stabilizers, etc. In drugs, this would include any tablet or capsule ingredients as well. In drugs, the only active ingredients are those present for a specific pharmacologic effect. No excipient may exert a pharmacologic effect and remain an excipient. Expression: A process using pressure to obtain an essential oil, usually out of the rind of citrus fruits without the use of heat. Extended flavor: Dispersion of a flavor on a dry carrier. The flavor may be liquid (flavors, spice oils or oleoresins) or solid (vanillin or heliotropine) and can be natural or artificial. The dry carrier is usually an anhydrous material, such as dextrose. These flavors are also referred to as plated flavors (see also Dry solubles). Extract: A solution obtained by passing alcohol, or an alcohol– water mixture, through a substance. An example would be vanilla extract. Extracts found on the grocer’s shelf, such as orange, almond, lemon, etc., are essential oils dissolved in an alcohol–water mixture. FEMA: Flavor and Extract Manufacturers’ Association—one of several groups conferring GRAS status. FFPA: Free from Prussic Acid—used to describe HCN-free bitter almond oil. Fixative: Usually applied to perfume, but in flavoring acts to reduce the overall volatility of the flavoring.
xix Fixed oil: Generally refers to a nonvolatile oil obtained by hydraulic pressing or solvent extraction, with little or no odor (e.g., sesame oil). FL No.: Flavis number, number attributed to each flavoring substance. Fold: Indicates the degree of concentration of an extract or oil. For example, a fourfold oil indicates a concentration of 8 to 2 kg. Food: “Food includes human food, substances migrating to food and from food contact articles, pet food, and animal feed” (see 21 CFR §170.3). Food additive: Indicates any substance approved for addition to food by the FDA on the basis of a food additive petition. Food additives are but one category of the all-inclusive designation, food ingredients. Other categories of food ingredients include, but are not limited to, GRAS substances, prior-sanctioned substances and color additives (both certified and noncertified). Although each category is distinct under FDA regulations, some substances are members of more than a single category. For example, a substance can be both a food additive and a GRAS substance at the same time. Food standard: A method or process and/or list of ingredients that may be used in a food that the FDA has defined through regulation, such as mayonnaise, macaroni, farina, French dressing or milk chocolate. Food standards were developed, in part, to thwart unscrupulous manufacturers from marketing products that did not conform to the usual and common understanding of the nature of a particular product. GRAS: The acronym for Generally Recognized As Safe, indicating any substance (and its intended use) that has been granted GRAS status by experts (either in or outside the FDA). (See 21 CFR §170.30.) GRAS affirmed: A substance whose GRAS status has been designated by one party and is affirmed GRAS by the FDA (21 CFR §184.1). The FDA GRAS Affirmation Program played a large role initially in incorporating food ingredients into the CFR (21 CRF §182), but GRAS affirmation has fallen into disuse, having been supplanted by the GRAS Notification Program. GRAS notification: The proposed regulation 21 CFR §176 (Federal Register (1997), 62(74):18937-18964) that provides for a notification system to the FDA for any substance found to be GRAS. The notification system is voluntary. HOC (herbs of commerce): 21 CFR §101.4(h)—part of the labeling regulation requires—“The common or usual name of ingredients of dietary supplements that are botanicals (including fungi and algae) shall be consistent with the names standardized in Herbs of Commerce, 1992 edition, which is incorporated by reference in accordance with 5 U.S.C. 552(a) and 1 CFR part 51.” This designation in Fenaroli’s indicates this substance is recognized in Herbs of Commerce. Imitation: A flavor containing all or some portion of nonnatural materials. For example, unless an orange flavoring is made entirely from orange, it is imitation. Specific pro-
xx visions for the use of the word imitation are described in 21 CFR §101.3. Inactive ingredient: An excipient—any ingredient in a mixture of substances that is not present as an active ingredient and may include solvents, preservatives, stabilizers, etc. In drugs, this would include any tablet or capsule ingredients as well. In drugs, the only active ingredients are those present for a specific pharmacologic effect. No excipient may exert a pharmacologic effect and remain an excipient. Indirect food additive: A substance that is not directly added to food, but whose use in the proximity of food may allow for migration of the substance into food (e.g., a component of a food wrapper). Infusion: Prepared by refluxing a solvent over raw materials (usually alcohol), often using heat over a prolonged period of time. This is an archaic methodology that is no longer employed. IOFI: International Organisation of Flavour Industries. Isolate: A chemical or fraction obtained from a natural substance. For example, citral can be isolated from lemon oil or lemongrass. JECFA: Joint (WHO/FAO) Expert Committee on Food Additives. LGMP (limited by good manufacturing practice): A food ingredient whose use in food is self-limiting for technological, organoleptic or other reasons. Many flavor ingredients are self-limiting and over-use would make food impalatable. Maceration: To steep or soak in a solvent for the purpose of extraction. Maillard reaction: Flavor production by nonenzymatic browning of food; proceeds mainly from reactions of reducing sugars with amines, peptides and proteins. Masking agent: An ingredient capable of covering or at least making more acceptable an unpleasant odor or taste in a food or pharmaceutical. Menstrum: The medium in which a substances is dissolved—a solvent. Middle note or main note: The substance of a flavor; the main characteristic. mmHg (millimeters mercury): All melting and boiling points are at standard atmospheric pressure (760 mmHg) unless stated otherwise. Modifier: An ingredient that influences, but does not change materially the flavor and odor characteristics of a flavor. MRL (maximum residue limit): A term used by JECFA to indicate the maximum concentration of residue resulting from the use of a veterinary drug that is acceptable in or on a food. MTDI (maximum tolerable daily intake): See PMTDI. NAS (National Academy of Sciences): In this context, the NAS number that is the identification number provided by NAS for the purposes of the surveys for food ingredients. Nature identical: A naturally occurring substance produced by synthetic means. Note: A distinct flavor or odor characteristic. For example, many raspberry flavors have a seedy note.
Glossary Oleoresin: A resinous–viscous product obtained when a substance is extracted with a nonaqueous solvent. The solvent is later removed. Spices, as a class, form most of the oleoresins the flavorist encounters; an example would be pepper oleoresin. PADI (possible average daily intake): The FEMA PADI (possible average daily intake) that is similar to the TAMDI concept, using maximum use level values, but only mean consumption values (based on the Market Research Corporation of America’s mean frequency of eating and USDA mean portion size of 34 general food categories). Therefore, the FEMA PADI (in milligrams/person/day) is the mean consumption of foods containing the maximum amount. The conservatism of the PADI method assumes that the maximum amount of substance is added to the entire food category, not just the substance within that category. For example, the consumption of a substance added only to marshmallow cream cookies (a relatively rarely eaten food) would account for very little consumption, but the FEMA assumption is that the substance is added to all baked goods, not just the small portion of baked goods represented by an exotic cookie. PMTDI (provisional maximum tolerable daily intake): A term used by JECFA to indicate the endpoint used for contaminants with no cumulative properties. Its value represents permissible human exposure as a result of the natural occurrence of the substance in food and in drinking water. ppm: parts per million. Prior-sanctioned food ingredient: A substance approved for the addition to food by the FDA or USDA prior to September 6, 1958, and whose approval remains in place. FDA prior-sanctioned substances include several food-packaging materials and as single or multiple food contact materials. The USDA prior-sanctioned substances are sodium and potassium nitrate and nitrite for use in meat and poultry products. PTWI (provisional tolerable weekly intake): The endpoint used for food contaminants, such as heavy metals with cumulative properties. The value of the PTWI represents permissible human weekly exposure to those contaminants unavoidably associated with the consumption of otherwise wholesome foods. Reported uses: As given in the text of this book, those amounts (both usual and maximum) in specific categories of food. Unless otherwise noted, the reported uses in this book are those designated by the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers’ Association (FEMA) from the list of 34 food categories adopted by FEMA. The FDA recognizes 43 general categories of food (21 CFR §170.3(n)) as originally established in Exhibit 33B of the report of the National Academy of Sciences/National Research Council, “A Comprehensive Survey of Industry on the Use of Food Chemicals Generally Recognized as Safe” (September 1972). Secondary food additive: Usually designating a substance used in the manufacture of food and, although it may be present in the final product, having no functionality
Glossary in the final food. Examples include enzymes for processing cheese, solvents, lubricants or release agents (a release agent allows a piece of candy to exit the mold without damage). Single-fold oil: The oil as it is produced from the plant (distillation or expression) without concentration. Solid extract: A water-soluble concentrated extractant resulting from the extraction of plant matter using water-compatible solvents. If the concentrated product is oil-soluble, it would be an oleoresin. Fluid extracts are water or alcohol reconstitutions of solid extracts. Specialty: Usually similar to a compound, only not finished. A specialty, although not complete, carries the major part of the flavor load, so that only a few other substances are needed to complete the flavoring. Synthetic: Produced by chemical means, but not to be confused with the term artificial. TAMDI (theoretical added maximum daily intake): Calculated on the basis of upper use levels and the estimated daily intakes of foods. For example, the more recent FEMA GRAS lists indicate two levels of use, the “average usual” and “average maximum.” The TAMDI would be determined using the “average maximum” level times the estimated daily intake of the food to which the substance is added. The estimated daily would presumably
xxi be maximized as well, using the 90th or 95th percentile consumption. Terpeneless oil: Removal of some terpenes to provide stability because they contribute to the instability of an essential oil. However, removal of all terpenes may severely undermine the flavor. There is no standard of what constitutes a “terpeneless oil.” Tincture: An alcoholic extract of a botanical material without further processing. Although originally an apothecary’s term, in the flavor industry, it refers to an alcoholic extract of a botanical in which the aroma is preserved. Top note: The first note normally perceived when a flavor is smelled or tasted. Usually a top note is relatively volatile and suggests identity. Type or class: The flavorist’s tendency to group similar flavors together, for example, red flavors (flavorings): strawberry, cherry, raspberry; citrus flavors: lemon, orange, lime, grapefruit, bergamot; brown flavors: coffee, malt, caramel; spice flavors: cassia, clove, nutmeg. Classes can also be made by volatility, chemical function or end use. WONF (with other natural flavors): Essentially, this indicates the addition of juices in addition to those indicated as the characterizing flavor as identified on the label of the container. Please consult 21 CFR §102 for labeling regulations of this type of product.

Description: Arabic or acacia gum is the dried exudate obtained from the stems and branches of Acacia senegal (L.) Willd. or of related species of Acacia. Injured trees exude gum Arabic; heat, poor nutrition and drought stimulate its production. Most of the gum Arabic production is from wild trees, but some from privately owned and cultivated gardens are tapped and collected on a systematic basis. The gum called Hashab geneina (garden gum) is the cleanest and lightest grade and is most preferred for the U.S. market. The wild gum (called Hashab wady) is collected on a part-time basis in the dry season, from October to May or June, by natives whose main occupation is usually farming. After gathering, it is taken to central collecting stations where it is auctioned under government supervision, graded by hand and dried before exporting to gum suppliers in all parts of the world. Then it is resorted, ground, processed and graded to various specifications. Clear, white (sun-bleached) spheroidal tears, up to 32 mm in diameter, also occur as flakes. Chemically, gum Arabic is a neutral or slightly acid salt of a complex polysaccharide containing calcium, magnesium and potassium cations. Its most distinguishing property among the natural gums is its extreme solubility in water. Solutions of over 50% concentration may be prepared. Gum Arabic is best described as “heteropolymolecular,” that is, a polymer system having either a variation in monomer (galactose, arabinose, rhamnose, glucuronic acid and 4-O-methylgucuronic acid) composition and/or variation in the mode of linking and branching of the monomer units, in addition to a distribution in molecular weight. Major uses of gum Arabic in foods are as a fixative for flavors, a foam stabilizer in beverages, an adhesive for icings and toppings, and an emulsifier and stabilizer in confectionary and ice cream. It is also widely used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, paper, textile, paint, ink and lithography industries. Consumption: Annual: 12,000,000.00 lb

Description: Acetic acid, CH3COOH, is a colorless, volatile liquid at ambient temperatures. The pure compound, glacial acetic acid, owes its name to its ice-like crystalline appearance at 15.6°C. As generally supplied, acetic acid is a 6 N aqueous solution (about 36%) or a 1 N solution (about 6%). These or other dilutions are used in adding appropriate amounts of acetic acid to foods. Acetic acid is the characteristic acid of vinegar, its concentration ranging from 3.5 to 5.6%. Acetic acid and acetates are present in most plants and animal tissues in small but detectable amounts. They are normal metabolic intermediates, are produced by such bacterial species as Acetobacter and can be synthesized completely from carbon dioxide by such microorganisms as Clostridium thermoaceticum. The rat forms acetate at the rate of 1% of its body weight per day. As a colorless liquid with a strong, pungent, characteristic vinegar odor, it is useful in butter, cheese, grape and fruit flavors. Very little pure acetic acid as such is used in foods, although it is classified by FDA as a GRAS material. Consequently, it may be employed in products that are not covered by Definitions and Standards of Identity. Acetic acid is the principal component of vinegars and pyroligneous acid. In the form of vinegar, more than 27 million lb were added to food in 1986, with approximately equal amounts used as acidulants and flavoring agents. In fact, acetic acid (as vinegar) was one of the earliest flavoring agents. Vinegars are used extensively in preparing salad dressing and mayonnaise, sour and sweet pickles and numerous sauces and catsups. They are also used in the curing of meat and in the canning of certain vegetables. In the manufacture of mayonnaise, the addition of a portion of acetic acid (vinegar) to the salt- or sugar-yolk reduces the heat resistance of Salmonella. Water binding compositions of sausages often include acetic acid or its sodium salt, while calcium acetate is used to preserve the texture of sliced, canned vegetables.

Synthesis: From the destructive distillation of wood from acetylene and water and from acetaldehyde by subsequent oxidation with air. Pure acetic acid is produced commercially by a number of different processes. As dilute solutions, it is obtained from alcohol by the “Quick-Vinegar Process.” Smaller quantities are obtained from the pyroligneous acid liquors acquired in the destructive distillation of hard wood. It is manufactured synthetically in high yields by the oxidation of acetaldehyde and of butane, and as the reaction product of methanol and carbon monoxide. Vinegars are produced from cider, grapes (or wine), sucrose, glucose or malt by successive alcoholic and acetous fermentations. In the United States, the use of the term “vinegar,” without qualifying adjectives, implies only cider vinegar. Although a 4 to 8% solution of pure acetic acid would have the same taste characteristics as cider vinegar, it could not qualify as a vinegar, since it would lack other readily detectable components characteristic of cider vinegar. In Great Britain, malt vinegar is specified. On the European continent, wine vinegar is the most common variety. Aroma threshold values: Aroma characteristics at 1.0%: sour pungent, cider vinegar, slightly malty with a brown nuance. Taste threshold values: Taste characteristics at 15 ppm: sour, acidic tangy. Natural occurrence: Reported found in vinegar, bergamot, cornmint oil, bitter orange oil, lemon petitgrain, various dairy products.

Description: Aconitic acid has pleasant, winey, acid taste; almost odorless. Aconitic acid of the trans-configuration can be isolated during the processing of sugarcane by precipitating it as the calcium salt from cane syrup or molasses. The concentration in molasses ranges from 1.8 to 2.5%. Aconitic acid may be synthesized from citric acid by dehydration with sulfuric acid or by catalytic dehydration. The cis-configuration is somewhat unstable and is readily rearranged to the trans form by heating. Trans-aconitic acid is decarboxylated to itaconic acid by heating to 180°F. The cis form occurs in plant and animal tissues as a metabolic intermediate in the Krebs cycle during the isomerization of citric acid to isocitric acid by the action of enzyme aconitase.

Description: Adipic acid is a crystalline powder with practically no odor. It has the lowest acidity of any of the acids commonly used in foods and has excellent buffering capacity in the range of pH 2.5 to 3.0. Like succinic and fumaric acid, adipic acid is practically nonhygroscopic. Its addition to foods imparts a smooth, tart taste. In grape-flavored products, it adds a lingering supplementary flavor and gives an excellent set to food powders containing gelatin. As a result, adipic acid has found a wide number of uses as an accidulant in dry powdered food mixtures, especially in those products having delicate flavors and where addition of tang to the flavor is undesirable. Its aqueous solutions have the lowest acidity of any of the common food acids. For concentrations from 0.5 to 2.4 g/100 mL, the pH of its solution varies less than half a unit. Hence, it can be used as a buffering agent to maintain acidities within the range of 2.5 to 3.0. This is highly desirable in certain foods, yet the pH is low enough to inhibit the browning of most fruits and other foodstuffs. Consumption: Annual: 343333.3 lb

Description: A dried hydrophilic, colloidal polygalactoside derived from the entire plant (minus the roots) of Gelidium cartilagineum (L.) Gaillon or Gracilaria confervoides (L.) Greville. It is commercially available in bundles consisting of thin, membranous agglutinated strips or in cut, flaked granulated or powdered form. Although agar was discovered in Japan in 1658, it was introduced to Europe and the United States from China in the nineteenth century, where it was initially used as a gelatin substitute in the making of desserts. It soon became widely used as a solid bacteriological culture medium after its use by Robert Koch in his famous experiments. Its major uses in the food industry of today are in bakery products, confectionary, dairy products and canned meat and fish. It is also used in microbiology, dentistry and medicine. The Gelidium species amansii and cartilageneum are the major sources of agar, although many species of Rhodophyceae are used. The weeds (agarophytes) used in the commercial product of agar grow from the tide line out to depths of 120 ft, and are harvested by waders along the shore at low tide, raked from small boats or picked by divers. Japan is the largest producer of agar. Because agar is soluble in hot water but relatively insoluble in cold water, it is extracted by boiling the agarophyte in water, filtering, cooling to form a gel, cutting into pieces and frozen, then thawing to free the agar from salts and other impurities that are soluble in cold water. The wet agar is repeatedly washed with cold water and finally dried. American and Japanese agar are graded according to published specifications. The high-quality American agar is divided into bacteriological, medicinal and dental grades, and the Japanese agar, into three grades and two subgrades. It is odorless or with a slight characteristic odor and mucilaginous taste. The structure of agar is not completely known. Chemically, agar is believed to be composed of 3,6-anhydro-L-galactose and D-galactopyranose residues in varying proportions. Consumption: Annual: 528333.3 lb

Description: Bitter almond has an intense, almond-like, cherry aroma with a slightly astringent, moldy taste. The term bitter almond refers to the essential oil obtained by steam distillation of the partially de-oleated press-cake of kernels from any of the following: bitter almond (P. amygdalus), apricot (P. armeniaca) and peach (P. persica). The kernels from these and other such fruits contain the glucoside amygdalin, which on enzymatic hydrolysis yields benzaldehyde and HCN. The distilled oil must be rendered free of HCN (prussic acid) prior to its marketing as a flavor ingredient. Very little essential oil is currently made exclusively from bitter almonds or other fruit kernels; specially purified benzaldehyde is often used in its place. Consumption: Annual: 386166.70 lb

Physical–chemical characteristics: Oil intended for use as a flavor ingredient is treated to remove traces of HCN by precipitation as insoluble calcium ferrocyanide. Essential oil composition: Bitter almond oil is obtained by first cold-expressing the fixed oils from the comminuted kernels, after which the press-cake is macerated in about 10 parts of water for 12 to 20 hours to effect the enzymatic hydrolysis of amygdalin. The mixture is then steam distilled to yield about 0.5 to 0.7% of the essential oil. Bitter almonds are rarely used because the yield of oil is only 0.6%. Apricot kernels yield 1.2% of oil and are the preferred starting material. The major components of the oil are typically 97.5% benzaldehyde (bitter almond) and 2% hydrogen cyanide (bitter almond).

Description: According to the International Rules of Botanical Nomenclature, Aloe vera (L.) Burm. F. is the legitimate name for the species. The various species of aloe are plants with stalks about 1 m in height, few branches, and succulent basal leaves that are quite elongated and spiny-toothed; the flowers are spicated. A. vera (L.) Burm f. is a succulent, almost sessile perennial herb with leaves 30 to 50 cm long and 10 cm broad at the base. The bright yellow tubular flowers are arranged in a slender loose spike. The plant is native to southern Africa. The useful product is the juice, extracted by cutting the succulent leaves when turgid; the juice is subsequently concentrated and dried. Technically and commercially dried aloe juices are distinguished by their characteristic cleavage (glassy or waxy) (Burdock, 1997). The plant material of interest is the juice, extracted by various physical methods, and may contain intact pieces of the inner fillet in liquid form. The extracted juice may be subsequently concentrated or dried. Commercial Aloe vera should not be confused with the yellow bitter exudate originating from the bundle sheath cells of the leaf or purified fractions of the juice, oils, or tinctures. Extracts and tinctures are sometimes used in liquor formulations because of the bitter flavor. Derivatives: Aloe derivatives include fluid extract, dry and soft extracts and tincture (10% in 80% ethanol). The main constituent of the juice and its derivatives is aloin, which varies from 5 to 25%. Other constituents include polysaccharides (β-(1–4)-linked acetylated mannan interspersed with O-acetyl groups, pectins, hemicelluloses, glucomannan, and mannose derivatives), amino acids, lipids, sterols, tannins and enzymes.

Physical–chemical characteristics: The oil is a mobile, pale-yellow liquid exhibiting a peculiar odor and an extremely bitter flavor. Apparently, the essential oil is of little or no commercial use as a flavor ingredient (Burdock, 1997). Other characteristics include: Specific gravity: 0.863; Boiling point: 266 to 271°C. Essential oil composition: Aloe juice contains about 2% essential oil. The main constituent of the juice and its derivatives (fluid extract, dry and soft extracts and tincture) is aloin.

Description: Ambergris, also called ambra, is the pathological tissue resulting from the consumption of indigestible components by whales. It accumulates in the intestinal tract of the sperm or cachalot whale. It may become dislodged from the intestinal tract and is occasionally washed ashore (Somaliland, Mozambique, Java, Japan and Madagascar); more often it is found in whales taken in commercial hunts. Tissue ranges from 50 to 150 g in weight, although occasionally much larger pieces are found. Ambergris usually is distinguished commercially in four different qualities, depending on the color and physical appearance (i.e., as soft black amber, waxy ash-gray amber, gray amber or white amber). The latter two qualities are the most valued. The quality of ambergris may improve on aging and particularly when exposed to daylight and saltwater.
AMBRETTE
76
Ambergris tincture has a peculiar, sweet, extremely tenacious odor with a seaweed, moss-like undertone. Although ambergris is used mainly in perfumery, the tincture may be employed in the formulation of aromas to confer special bouquets to liqueurs, tobacco, fruit flavors and beverages, candy and ice cream flavors. Derivatives: Dried or powdered ambra is never used as such. Usually it is used as a tincture (3 to 5% in 90 to 95% ethanol), extract or resinoid (prepared by concentration of the tincture). The alcoholic extract is aged in tightly sealed bottles in darkness to allow the full development of odor. Consumption: Annual: <1.00 lb

Description: The raw essence is derived from the steam distillation of whole or crushed ambrette seeds, with use of the latter providing a higher quantity of palmitic acid in the distillate. Removal of the fatty acid by alcohol extraction or precipitation by divalent salts produces the liquid essential oil. The essential oil is a clear, yellow to amber-colored liquid with a characteristic aromatic flavor, and a distinctly brandy-like and floral, musky odor. Adulteration with ambrettolide, farnesol or other macrocyclic lactones has occurred. The main constituents of the oil include farnesol and ambrettolide. Consumption: Annual: 1.17 lb

ANGELICA ROOT EXTRACT
97
ANGELICA Botanical name: Angelica archangelica L. Botanical family: Apiaceae (Umbelliferae) Other names: Garden angelica, European angelica Foreign names: Archangelique (Fr.), Echt Engelwurz (Ger.), Arcangelica (Sp.), Angelica (It.) Description: Angelica is an herbaceous plant, about 1.5 m high, cultivated in Europe, especially France, Belgium and Germany. The plant is characterized by spindle-shaped, fleshy roots, an erect stalk, alternate leaves and greenish-yellow flowers with an inferior ovary; the seeds are oblong with an off-white color. The plant blooms from June to August. The parts of the angelica used are the roots, seeds and stems. The active principles of angelica are coumarin and furocoumarin. The plant (including roots and seeds) contains several furocoumarins including angelicin, bergapten and xanthotoxin, as well as umbelliprenin and various phenols. One of the main constituents is β-phellandrene. Angelica may be cultivated as a fresh vegetable, or cooked and prepared like rhubarb. The dried roots and the corresponding derivatives find extensive use in the formulation of liqueurs. Roots are often employed in the flavoring of vermouths and bitters. The roots are sometimes employed with juniper berries to make gin. Angelica oil or extract contains 5-methoxypsoralen and 8-methoxypsoralen and, therefore, may evoke photodermatitis. Recurrent vesicular dermatitis has been reported among confectioners gathering angelica. Derivatives: The derivatives are the fluid extract from the roots, tincture (20% root extract and less often, seed extract in 60% ethanol), essential root oil, essential seed oil and essential stem oil. Derivative names: Angelica seed oil, Angela root oil, Angelica stem oil, Angelica root extract Essential oil composition: The main components in the essential oil obtained from various parts of Angelica archangelica of Romanian origin: root oil: α-pinene 27%, β-pinene 57.1%; stem oil: caryophyllene 49.2%; leaf oil: α-pinene 36.9%, β-pinene 23.9%, β-phellandrene 33.8%; flower oil: β-phellandrene 68.3%; fruit oil: β-phellandrene 87.4%.

Description: The essential root oil is obtained by steam distillation of the roots. The pale-yellow to deep-amber liquid has a warm, pungent odor with musky or earthy notes and has a bittersweet flavor. The yield from the roots is fairly low even though they may be steam distilled for up to 24 hours; these factors, coupled with the qualitative differences in old versus young roots and the laborintensive process in digging and cleaning the roots, make the root oil fairly expensive.

Description: Herbaceous annual plant indigenous to Greece and Asia Minor, now extensively cultivated in Europe, in Russia and, to a lesser extent, in India. It has a perpendicular root, an erect cylindrical stalk, alternate leaves, yellowish-white flowers, five-edged carpels and lens-shaped seeds. It flowers in July. The fruits of commerce are grayish-green to dull yellowish-brown in color, 3 to 5 mm long and 1.5 to 2 mm wide, containing about 10% of fixed oil and 1.5 to 4% of essential oil. Parts used are fruits, improperly called seeds. Anise has a history of use as a spice and as a fragrance. It has a sweet, soft, mild flavor with rich effects. The main component responsible for its characteristic taste and smell, as well as for its medicinal properties, is trans-anethole. Derivatives: Fluid extract, tincture (20% in approximately 70% ethanol), infusion (5%) and decoction (4%). Extraction of anise seed yields an oleoresin containing fixed oil and the full anise flavor.

IOFI: Natural
Essential oil composition: The seeds yield 2.5% of the oil on steam distillation. The major components of the oil are typically 95% trans-anethole (strong, sweet, anise) and 2% methyl chavicol (strong, sweet, tarragon). TNO (2000) reported presence of 44 compounds in anise. Of these, 23 were hydrocarbons, 8 phenols, 4 alcohols, 3 carbonyl ketones, 1 carbonyl aldehyde, 1 acid and 4 unknown compounds.
*
Anise is synonymously used with star anise (Illicium verum Hook, F.), which is described separately in this book. FCC (1996) has described both anise oil and star anise oil under the title “Anise Oil.”

APRICOT Botanical name: Prunus armeniaca L. Botanical family: Rosaceae Description: There are many varieties and species of apricot, differing in flavor, color and size. Trees of this genus have attractive flowers and bark, and bear finely toothed, deciduous leaves and various single-stoned fruits. The 10 m Prunus armeniaca tree is drought resistant with red shoots, a stone fruit (drupe); a one-seeded fruit that does not split open itself; and within the seed is enclosed a stony endocarp, called the pit. The part used is the kernel of the pit. Fruits vary in colors from yellows and oranges to deep purples. In India and China, the apricot has been used for over 2000 years. Excessive ingestion of apricot kernels causes cyanide poisoning in both animals and humans. Prussic acid (hydrogen cyanide) present in kernels has been used in Chinese medicine. Constituents: Acids present in apricot fruits include malic, citric, tartaric, quinic, succinic, acetic, caffeic, p-coumaric and ferulic.

Synthesis: Enzymatically, arginine is formed in two reactions from citrulline. The first reaction (citrulline + succinate) is catalyzed by the enzyme arginosuccinate synthetase. It is ATP dependent and with the formation of a new C–N bond in the gaunidino group of arginosuccinate, water is removed and ATP is hydrolyzed. The second reaction is catalyzed by arginine synthetase and involves the scission of arginosuccinate with the formation of arginine and fumaric acid. Aroma threshold values (ppb): Detection at 100%, faint. Taste threshold values (ppb): Taste characteristics at 1000 ppm: hint of sourness. Natural occurrence: Reported present in cheese, chocolate, eggs, meat, nuts and other products.

Description: Perennial herb commonly growing in pastures and mountain areas. A. montana grows wild in Russia, Scandinavia, northern India, and central and northern Europe. A. cordifolia grows wild in the United States, where it is known as mountain tobacco. The plant is 20 to 60 cm tall and has cylindrical rhizomes sprouted with numerous smaller roots, leaves, terminal solitary buds and peripheral ligulate yellow flowers (June to July). The flowers (also rhizomes) are used. Internal and external preparations made from the flowering heads of arnica have been used medicinally for hundreds of years. Arnica has an agreeable, herbaceous, sweet odor, somewhat reminiscent of chamomile, with a slight bitter flavor. Derivatives: Absolute, infusion (0.5 to 1.0%) tincture, fluid extract and resinoid (resinoine). An aromatic principle of the absolute is thymohydroquinone dimethylether.

Physical–chemical characteristics: Arnica oil is yellow-orange to green-blue; it is obtained by steam distillation of flowers. Arnica root oil is obtained from the rhizomes; it is yellow to dark-yellow and more viscous than arnica oil. Both oils are scarce and expensive. Presumably some of the aromatic principles of the plant are lost in making the essential oil, and for this reason, the absolute, tincture and resinoid are preferred. Composition: A number of flavonoid glycosides have been identified in arnica. Besides these flavonoids, terpenoids, amines, carbohydrates and volatile oils have been detected. Other components found in arnica include bitter compound arnicin, caffeic acid, carotenoids, phytosterols, resin, tannins and anthoxanthine.

Description: Perennial, herbaceous plant of Mediterranean origin, it can grow taller than 1 m. It has rhizomes, an erect stalk, large alternate leaves, blue-violet flowers and enveloping fleshy bracts. Parts used are cauline leaves. The leaves have a bitter tonic flavor. The fleshy receptacles and bracts of the flower bud and blanched stalk are eaten as a vegetable, but they may cause off-flavors in breast milk. The artichoke has been popular since Roman times as a food and medicine. Much of the pharmacologic activity of the leaves has been attributed to the presence of caffeoylquinic acid derivatives. Derivatives: Decoction (5%), fluid extract (soft and dried), tincture (20% in 60% ethanol). The active principles of derivatives are contained in the fresh leaves from 0.01 to 0.02%.

Description: Ascorbic acid is present in nutritionally useful amounts in many edible plants, especially in rapidly growing leafy vegetables, fruits, tomatoes and potatoes. Foods of animal origin as usually consumed are generally poor sources of the vitamin. Of the stereoisomers (L-ascorbic acid, D-ascorbic acid, L-isoascorbic acid and D-isoascorbic acid or erythorbic acid), only L-ascorbic acid has significant vitamin C activity. The vitamin C activity of ascorbyl palmitate is approximately equal to that of L-ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid has a pleasant, sharp, acidic taste without any odor. It is extensively used as antioxidant, meat-curing aid, nutrient and dietary supplement. For a detailed description, see Burdock (1997).

Description: Basil is an annual herbaceous plant native to Asia and other tropical regions; it is cultivated as a culinary herb throughout Europe. The plant is 15 to 45 cm tall with an erect stem, opposite oblique leaves and white or purplish flowers arranged in clusters. The plant flowers from May to September and has an intense, pleasant, characteristic odor. Owing to widespread hybridation, several varieties of plants are known as basil, each yielding on distillation essential oil of different aromatic character. Sweet basil has a warm, intense, spicy aroma with fresh, mint-like flavor; it can have a camphor-like note. Derivatives: The derivatives are infusion (3%), tincture (20% in 60% ethanol), essential oils. A dark green, semisolid oleoresin is obtained by extracting the type with high methyl chavocol content to yield a product with a delicate characteristic flavor.

Physical–chemical characteristics: Depending on the growing site and production conditions, the essential oil obtained by distillation may exhibit completely different organoleptic and physical–chemical characteristics. Well-known types include (1) the Réunion type produced in the Comoros Islands, (2) the Mediterranean type or true sweet basil, (3) the Bulgarian or methylcinnamate types, and (4) the phenolic type from Java. The Réunion and Mediterranean type are discussed under Derivatives. The phenolic type of basil (Ocimum gratissimum) is readily distinguished from true sweet basil by the presence of approximately 60% eugenol and some thymol in the essential oil. Composition: The constituents are reported to include methyl cinnamate (35.16 to 84.53%), linalool (4.3 to 47.39%) and methyl chavicol (8.92%), depending upon the particular variety. TNO (2000) reported presence of 194 compounds in Ocimum basilicum varieties. Of these, 82 were hydrocarbons, 46 alcohols and the remaining were carbonyl aldehydes, carbonyl ketones, esters, ethers, phenols, furans and oxides of pyrans and coumarins.

Description: Crude yellow beeswax is harvested together with honey and represents a secondary secretion of the bee. Once the honey is recovered from the honeycomb by draining the cells, the wax combs are washed with water, melted and poured into molds to harden. The wax is refined by melting in hot water to which sulfuric acid or alkali may be added to extract impurities. The resulting wax is referred to as yellow beeswax. Yellow beeswax contains cerolein, a mixture of fatty acids and soluble in hot alcohol and slightly soluble in cold alcohol; myricyl alcohol and myricyl palmitate, insoluble in alcohol. Beeswax is produced worldwide with the same chemical composition. The odor may vary slightly, depending on the source. Derivatives: Beeswax absolute, prepared by alcoholic extraction of the raw wax, is a waxy solid having a light-yellow color and a very mild, sweet odor with a waxy undertone.

Description: Benzoic acid is almost odorless or exhibits a faint urine, almond odor and a sweet–sour to acrid taste. Sodium benzoate as an article of commerce is in the form of a white powder or flakes. It can be mixed dry into bulk liquids and dissolves promptly. The pH range for optimum microbial inhibition by benzoic acid is 2.5 to 4.0, which is lower than that of sorbic acid or propionic acid. Thus, benzoates are well adapted for the preservation of food, which are acid, or readily acidified, such as carbonated beverages, fruit juices, cider, pickles and sauerkraut.

BENZOPHENONE
140
Description: Trees of this species are about 15 m tall. Resin flows from the incision made in the bark. S. tonkinensis (Siam benzoin) grows extensively in Laos and Tonkin. S. benzoin Dryand. (Sumatra benzoin) grows in Sumatra and Malaya. Sumatra benzoin is produced commercially in two basic qualities: selected tears and almonds or amygdaloid forms. The size of the tear-shaped pieces allows a further classification into three or four types. The amount of granules (almonds) as compared to the mass allows a classification into three basic qualities. The resins are the parts used. Benzoin has a sweet, balsamic, pleasant odor and an aromatic, acrid, bittersweet taste. Derivatives: Tinctures of various percentages in 95% ethanol, fluid extract and resinoids. The chemical differences between Siam and Sumatra varieties derive from the levels of cinnamic and benzoic acids and their corresponding esters; benzoic derivatives prevail in Siam benzoin, while cinnamic derivatives prevail in Sumatra benzoin. Siam benzoin is used in preference to Sumatra benzoin for food flavoring, but must be first de-acidified. Consumption: Annual: 600.00 lb

BERGAMOT Botanical name: Citrus bergamia Risso, C. aurantium L. Botanical family: Rutaceae Other names: Bergamot orange; Citrus bergamia (Risso & Poiteau) Foreign names: Bergamotier (Fr.), Bergamot (Ger.), Bergamota (Sp.), Bergamotto (It.) Description: The bergamot is a small, delicate tree similar to other citrus plants, such as orange and lemon. The plant flowers twice a year in the spring and the end of summer, and yields orange-like fruits, only smaller in size. The peel of the fresh, nearly ripe fruit is the source of bergamot oil; also used are the fruit, rind, leaf and twig. Although the bergamot plant is native to Asia, it is cultivated extensively in Calabria, Italy. A few experimental cultivations in the Mediterranean basin and on the Atlantic coast of equatorial Africa have attained only a limited success. Bergamot oil is a widely used material that imparts a citrus flavor to foods and beverages. Bergamot has a fragrant, sweet, fruit odor.

Physical–chemical characteristics: It is a clear, mobile, yellowish-green liquid with a fragrant, sweet fruity odor. It is miscible with alcohol and glacial acetic acid. It is soluble in most fixed oils, but is insoluble in glycerin and in propylene glycol. It may contain a suitable antioxidant. Bergamot essential oil yields a concentrated oil by distillation under reduced pressure. Also, terpeneless and sesquiterpeneless oils can be prepared from bergamot essential oil. A petitgrain bergamot is also manufactured by steam distillation of the leaves and twigs. Essential oil composition: Bergamot oil is a complex mixture of more than 300 compounds. The most prevalent compounds are linalyl acetate (30 to 60%), linalool (11 to 22%) and other alcohols.* Furocoumarins include bergapten (approximately 0.4%), bergamottin, citropten and others. Rectified bergamot oil contains lower concentrations of terpenes and has no coumarins.

BURDOCK Botanical name: Arctium lappa L. (A. majus Bernh, great burdock; A. minus Bernh, lesser burdock) Botanical family: Asteraceae Other names: Great burdock; Lesser burdock; Edible burdock; Great bur; Lappa; Bardana; Beggar’s buttons; Clotbur; Fox’s clote Description: Burdock is a perennial or biennial herb that is native to Europe and northern Asia. It grows freely in waste places and hedgerows. The plant grows up to 3 m (9 ft), with large, ovate, wavy leaves and round heads of purple flowers. When mature, the leaves are alternate, triangular in outline, petiolate and dark green. The plant varies considerably in appearance, and various species and subspecies have been described in the literature according to the size of the flower heads and the whole plant, the abundance of the whitish cottonlike substance that is sometimes found on the involucres, or the absence of it, the length of flower stalks, etc. The whole plant is a dull pale-green, with stem branched, rising from a biennial root. The dried root from plants of the first year’s growth as well as the leaves and fruits (commonly, though erroneously, called seeds) are the parts used. Burdock root is consumed as a food in parts of Asia, including China and Japan. In Japan, production of burdock is estimated at 180,000 tons/year. Derivatives: From seeds, both a tincture and a fluid extract are prepared. From roots and seeds, decoction is prepared.

Composition: The roots contain inulin (up to 50%), tannins, volatile acids, polyphenolic acids, nonhydroxy acids, polyacetylenes and γ-guanidino-n-butyric acid. The plant is also reported to contain lignans, including arctigenin, its glycoside arctin and matairesinol; polyacetylenes, in the root, mainly tridecadienetetraynes and tridecatrienetriynes, with the sulfur-containing arctic acid; amino acids, such as α-guanidino-n-butyric acid; inulin in the roots; and miscellaneous organic acids, fatty acids and phenolic acids, including acetic, butyric, isovaleric, lauric, myristic, caffeic and chlorogenicacids. A xyloglucan polysaccharide predominantly containing repeating-oligosaccharide units of hepta-(Glc:Xyl = 4:3), nona- (Glc:Xyl:Gal:Fuc = 4:3:1:1) and deca(Glc:Xyl:Gal:Fuc = 4:3:2:1) saccharides in an approximate molar ratio of 14:12:5, which are the typical structural units of dicot xyloglucanswas, was isolated from the extract of A. lappa L1. Six compounds were isolated from the seeds of A. lappa L.* One of them is a new lignan named neoarctin B; the other five compounds were identified as daucosterol, arctigenin, arctiin, matairesinol and lappaol F.† Reported uses (ppm): n/a Aroma threshold values (ppb): n/a Taste threshold values (ppb): n/a

Description: BHA and BHT (butylated hydroxytoluene) are monohydric phenolic antioxidants that, prior to their introduction and acceptance in the food industry, were used to protect petroleum against oxidative degumming. Chemically, BHA is a mixture of two isomers, 3-tertiary-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (90%) and 2-tertiary-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole (10%). Both BHA and BHT assert a good carry-through effect, although BHA is slightly better than BHT in this respect. BHT is, however, more effective in suppressing oxidation of animal fats than vegetable oils. Among its multiple applications, BHA is particularly useful in protecting the flavors and color of essential oils and is considered the most effective of all food-approved antioxidants for this application. BHA is particularly effective in controlling the oxidation of short-chain fatty acids, such as those found in coconut and palm kernel oils that are used typically in cereal and confectionary products.

Methylation of hydroquinone yields an intermediate that gives a mixture of 3-BHA and 2-BHA upon treatment with tert-butyl alcohol and phosphoric acid. Butylation of hydroquinone and subsequent methylation with dimethyl sulfate and sodium hydroxide can also be used to produce a mixture of the two BHA isomers.

BHT has a very faint, musty, occasional cresylictype odor. BHA and BHT are extensively used in foods as antioxidants. Most fats, oils and fat-containing foods are naturally susceptible to rapid rancification and other oxidative reactions that produce compounds having objectionable taste and odor, making foods containing them unpalatable. Lipid oxidation is autocatalytic and proceeds as a complex of chain reactions, the nature and speed of which vary with the substrate, temperature, light, availability of oxygen and presence or absence of oxidation catalysts. Antioxidants like BHT act as “chain breaks” in the autooxidation processes under the usual conditions of processing, storage and use of fat-containing foods (Burdock, 1997).

C CACAO (COCOA) Botanical name: Theobroma cacao L. Botanical family: Sterculiaceae Other names: Theobroma, cacao. Compounds derived include cocoa, chocolate and cocoa butter. Foreign names: Cacao (Fr.), Kakao (Ger.), Cacao (Sp.), Cacao (It.) Description: The cocoa tree is cultivated mainly in Central and South America and equatorial Africa. It grows naturally to a height of 10 to 12 m, bears large, sparse, lanceolated leaves and produces small blossoms in clusters and fruits (pods) containing many almond-shaped seeds. The fruit of the cacao tree is approximately 30 cm in length, which grows on the trunk and large branches of the plant. Contained within the pod are about 40 seeds, or beans, that are used in the processing of all cocoa products. The parts used are the seeds, either toasted or fermented. Although several varieties of cacao exist, the forasstero variety from West Africa accounts for more than 90% of world production. Cacao is generally used to describe the crude material, while cocoa is used to describe the processed products. Cacao (cocoa) has a cocoa flavor and aroma. The characteristic bitter taste of cocoa is due to the reaction of diketopiperazines with theobromine during roasting. Cocoa products find extensive uses in foods. Derivatives: Essential oil, tincture, distillate, fluid extract, infusion (typical beverage). Alcoholic extracts are generally obtained by treatment of the partially crushed seeds with 40 to 70°C alcohol. The distillate has an alcohol concentration of 65%. It is obtained from the same type of cacao used for the preparation of tinctures as well as from cacao varieties with low fat content. Consumption: Annual: n/a

Description: Caffeine is the alkaloid 1,3,7-trimethylxanthine. It is one of the xanthine derivatives present up to 1.5% in seeds of coffee (Coffea arabica L.) and up to 5% in the leaves of tea (Camelia sinensis). It is a component of the beverages made from these plants. Caffeine is also a component of chocolate (Theobroma cacao) and the cola nut (Cola acuminata Schott and Endel. and related species), the extract of which is used in cola drinks. It is virtually odorless. Caffeine is added to cola-type beverages for its enhancement of flavor. Subtle and subliminal flavors are widely appreciated by consumers and caffeine has a modifying effect on other components of the beverage. The threshold for detecting the presence of caffeine in liquid foods varies depending on the nature of other substances present, but lies close to the level characteristic of currently produced cola-type beverages. The threshold for detection of caffeine in water has been shown to be 0.0095%; in liquid foods, 0.0184%. In one study, panelists could distinguish a solution containing 0.0058% caffeine from the control. The threshold for detecting taste difference between an aqueous solution of caffeine and a water control was also shown to be 0.005% caffeine and to distinguish bitterness, 0.011% caffeine. In aqueous solutions containing threshold and subthreshold concentrations of caffeine, sucrose, citric acid and salt, all compounds depressed the taste intensity of each other.* Consumption: Annual: 8,700,000.00 lb

Description: Calamus has sword-shaped leaves and a yellow-green, flowering spike protruding at an angle from a three-sided stem. This distinguishes it from poisonous irises. It is found in damp, swampy areas. Various chromosomic species exist (di-, tri- and tetraploid). It is a perennial water plant, native to India, now widespread. It is about 1 m tall and exhibits a penetrating, pleasant odor. It has cylindrical, nodular, branched rhizomes. It flowers from June to August. Rhizomes are used to produce oil. The rhizomes have been used medicinally since biblical times. The underground rhizome is used as a spice and flavoring in drinks, cosmetics and toothpastes. However, because the major component, isoasarone, has been linked to the development of tumors in animals, the use of calamus and its extracts are prohibited by the FDA. In recent years, A. calamus has been classified into four separate varieties, which grow in different locations worldwide. The virtually isoasarone-free plant grows in North America (drug type I). Western Europe is home to another type of calamus, the oil of which contains 10% isoasarone (drug type II). Two other varieties have been found to contain 96% isoasarone (drug type III and IV).

Major component (up to 75%) in some types of calamus oil is β-asarone (also called as cis-isoasarone).* In addition to isoasarone, more than a dozen other fragment compounds have been identified in the oil. In addition to the toxic asarone, the other main constituents include d-α-pinene, camphene, cineol, camphor, eugenol and methyleugenol.

Description: Calcium acetate, also known as acetate of lime or vinegar salts, is the calcium salt of acetic acid. It is an odorless powder. Calcium has an important role in the nutrition of humans and animals. Hormonal mechanisms control absorption of dietary calcium (including added calcium salts) allowing adaptation to a range of calcium intakes while maintaining a relatively constant blood calcium concentration of about 10 mg/100 mL. Major functions of calcium inside the body include the formation and maintenance of bones and teeth, the physiology of muscle contraction, the cell membrane integrity, the activity of several enzymes that have specific requirement for it, the coagulation of blood, and the regulation of acid-base balance.* Consumption: Annual: 295000.00 lb

Synthesis: Natural camphor is obtained by distillation from the plants of Cinnamomum or Laurus camphora from China and Japan, together with the corresponding essential oils; the raw camphor contains several impurities. It is separated from the water and the essential oil by pressure or by centrifugation and subsequently purified by sublimation or crystallization. Synthetic camphor is prepared from pinene isolated by fractional distillation of turpentine oil; pinene is reacted to bornyl chloride with gaseous HCl under pressure and then to camphene. The distilled and purified camphene is then oxidized to camphor with Na+ or K+ bichromate in the presence of H2SO4. Aroma threshold values: Detection at 1 to 1.29 ppm Taste threshold values: Taste characteristics at 20 ppm: medicinal, camphoraceous, mentholic and woody. Natural occurrence: Frequently occurring in nature as the d- or l-form; the optically inactive form is seldom encountered. The d-form has been reported found in Cinnamomum camphora Ness. (Laurus camphora L.) from China, Japan and the East Indies; in Sassafras officinale, Lavandula spica and in other Labiatae. The l-form is reported found in the essential oils of Salvia grandiflora, Matricaria parthenium, Artemisia herba alba; the optically inactive form is found in Chrysanthemum japonicum sinense. Also reported found in orange peel oil, lemon peel oil, apricot, raspberry, anise, cinnamon root bark, ginger, pepper, coriander, calamus, sweet fennel and rosemary.

For camphor tree extract.
Description: The camphor is a tall, majestic tree native to the Far East (China, Taiwan, Japan). This evergreen tree has aromatic leaves and stems, red leaves maturing to dark green, and yellow flowers. The initial or whole camphor oil is obtained by steam distillation of the trees classified as C. camphora Sieb. and a number of related varieties, including hon-sho, ho-sho, yu-sho, rau-kusu, shoguy and ohba-kusu. Hon-sho represents the most important variety growing mainly in Japan and Taiwan. The yu-sho variety grows in China. The sho-guy variety grows in Taiwan, but its essential oil does not contain camphor. The ohba-kusu also grows in Taiwan and its essential oil contains 95% safrole. The wild plants yield a larger amount of camphor and essential oil than the cultivated ones. The yield also increases with age of the plant. Depending on the composition, crude camphor oils distilled from the different varieties are classified differently into camphore safrole, hon-sho variety (Japan); camphore safrole (Taiwan); Camphor cineol (Chinese camphor oil), yu-sho variety; camphor linalool, ho-shu variety (Taiwan); and true camphor oil. Parts used are wood, stumpwood, branches and leaves. Camphor has a characteristic penetrating odor and a burning bitter, fresh taste. For details, refer to Burdock (1997).

The plants consist of numerous slender, leafless cylindrical stalks 2 to 5 ft high, covered with a powdery wax that gives the plant a blue-green color. The wax is extracted from the plants by immersing the dried stalks in boiling water acidified with sulfuric acid; the molten product is skimmed off as it rises to the surface. The wax is transferred to lead-lined tanks, kept at the boiling point to remove water, and then allowed to settle to remove any dirt present. The yield of clarified wax is from 1.5 to 3.0% of the air-dried plant. The sole criterion of purity is usually the color of the product, which varies from light yellow to brown.

Description: Under the name of capsicum, the fruits of various species of the family Solanaceae are used extensively as pungent food additives. Commercially, the fruits of Capsicum annuum and its varieties are known under the names of Spanish pepper, poivrons and paprika. The fruits of C. frutescens are known as chiles, although the term chiles may be used to indicate any variety of capsicum. The orange-red powder of the fruits from which the most pungent parts are removed is known as rosenpaprika. In the United States, this is simply paprika. It is recognized that approximately five species and their hybrids contribute to all sources of “peppers.” The fruits are the part used. Capsicum is mild to highly pungent. Capsicum was first described in the late 1400s by a physician who accompanied Columbus to the West Indies. Capsicum frutescens: C. frutescens is a small shrub similar to other capsicum species native to South America. It has a 2- to 3-year life span, reaches a height of 1 m, has greenish-yellow flowers clustered at the base of lanceolate leaves and has small oblong, intensely red pods 1 to 3 cm long. Capsicum annum: C. annuum is an annual, shrub-like herb smaller than C. frutescens, with a woody stem and single, white flowers located at the junction of the isolated leaves. The oblong pods (fruits) exhibit varying colors — yellow to red to black. The fruits of C. annuum have a taste less pungent than C. frutescens. Derivatives: Fluid extracts, tincture (10% in 90% ethanol, or 20% in 60% ethanol) and oleoresins (also plated onto inert carrier). Derivative names: Capsicum oleoresin, Paprika oleoresin, Red pepper oleoresin

Capsicum contains about 1.5% of an irritating oleoresin. The major component of the oil is capsaicin (0.02%). The pungency appears to be related to the presence of a 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl substituent.

Description: Cellulose is a natural substance normally present in most diets because it is the major structural carbohydrate of green plants. Cellulose is essentially a linear polymer of glucopyranose units connected by α-1,4-glucoside links. In nature, cellulose is present in plant cell walls as fibers. The molecular weight of the isolated cellulose is approximately 50,000 daltons. The principal sources of cellulose for food-related purposes are cotton linters and wood pulp. Chemical processing converts cellulose into forms or derivatives suitable for incorporation into food products or for use in food packaging materials. For food use, the optimum degree of substitution of a carboxymethyl-residue on each anhydroglucopyranose unit on cellulose is 0.95. By preliminary mild acid hydrolysis, the degree of polymerization (i.e., molecular size) of the cellulose may be reduced before carboxymethylation. Control of the degree of substitution and the degree of polymerization during processing results in production of a wide variety of derivatives that differ in such physical properties as gelling, temperature, viscosity and dispersibility in water. Sodium carboxymethyl cellulose is used as a thickening agent and stabilizer in foods. Because carboxymethyl cellulose is spontaneously converted to sodium salt in alkaline solution, it is probable that any distinction between carboxymethyl cellulose and sodium carboxymethyl cellulose in foodstuffs is artificial.* Consumption: Annual: 630000.00 lb

Description: This perennial bears violet-striped, white flowers and aromatic, green fruits on erect or trailing racemes. The small variety of cardamom (α-minor) cultivated in Malabar is the most valuable variety. This variety has been almost entirely replaced, in the last 50 years, by the larger variety, β-major. The plant grows more than 2 m tall and exhibits a long rhizome from which the fruitbearing stalks emerge. The fruits (husks) containing the seed are harvested prior to ripening, which is completed by exposing them to sunlight. The seeds are subsequently sorted into several commercial qualities based on color, size and origin (Malabar, Cylone, Mysore). Cardamom has a warm, spicy, aromatic odor that is somewhat pungent and faintly bitter at high concentrations.

Description: The volatile oil is distilled from the comminuted seeds with an average yield of 5%. The seeds are enclosed in husks (hulls) and removed from the odorless hulls shortly before distillation because the essential oil is extremely volatile and can considerably reduce the yields. The oil from “green” types of cardamom smells more of cineole than does an oil from the bleached or pale-yellow, straw-colored cardamom (fruits). The oil has an aromatic, penetrating, somewhat camphoraceous odor of cardamom and a pungent, strongly aromatic taste. Consumption: Annual: 5500.00 lb

CAROB BEAN Botanical name: Ceratonia siliqua L. Botanical family: Leguminosae Other names: St. John’s bread; Locust bean Foreign names: Caroube (Fr.), Johannishbrotbaum (Ger.), Algarrabo europeo (Sp.), Carruba (It.) Description: The tree (~10 m high) is a large evergreen native to the Middle East region and the southern part of the Mediterranean. It is extensively cultivated for the seeds and fruit in Cyprus, Greece, Syria, Spain and Italy. The carob tree (also referred to as the locust tree) can reach heights of 10 m and is well adapted to arid farming conditions. The carob tree is exceedingly tolerant of typical plant diseases in this region and, therefore, minimizes agriculture risk. The dried or partially desiccated pulp exhibits a characteristic sweet flavor. The fruit pod consists of a pulp component referred to as the “kibble” and a seed component referred to as the “kernel.” The kibble (~90% of the pod) is generally used as is (i.e., unprocessed) as a feed component for animal food production in semiarid regions. The kernels (~10% of the pod) are ground and the gum constituent, referred to as a galactomannan, is extracted by various methods. Extracts of the carob tree pod have also been historically cited as a local community medicinal elixir (for diarrhea) in the Mediterranean region.

Composition: The kibble consists of high concentrations of fermentable sugars (glucose, fructose, sucrose and maltose), as well as protein, pectin, cellulose, hemicellulose and polyphenols. The technical value within the seed endosperm is chemically defined as a neutral galactomannan, a high molecular weight hydrocolloid polysaccharide (polymer). The galactomannan polymer is composed of a 1,4-linked β-D-mannopyranosyl (mannose, 73 to 86% of molecule) units with single-side chains of α-Dgalactopyranosyl (galactose, 14 to 27% of molecule) units irregularly attached to every fourth or fifth mannopyranosyl unit by 1,6-glycosidic linkages to the polymer.

CARVACROL
258
Description: The volatile oil is obtained by steam distillation from the crushed seeds of carrots. The color additive, carrot oil, is the liquid or the solid portion of the mixture. The mixture can be obtained by hexane extraction of edible carrots, with subsequent removal of hexane by vacuum distillation. The resultant mixtures of solid and liquid extractives consist chiefly of oils, fats, waxes and carotenoids naturally occurring in carrots. The essential oil is prepared from seeds, roots and green parts of the plant. Depending on the parts of the plants used, the yield varies. The oil has a characteristic fatty odor.

Essential oil composition: The oil is a mixture of triglycerides of which 75 to 90% is ricinoleic acid.* This mixture is hydrolyzed to release ricinoleic acid, which exerts a cathartic effect. The cake remaining after the extraction of the oil is the castor pomace. The phytotoxins ricin and ricinine are found in the seed cake and oil. Ricin is a glycoproptein containing neutral A chain and acidic B chain connected by disulfur bonds.

CASTOREUM Genus and species: Castor fiber L. and C. canadensis Kuhl. Animal family: Castoridae Foreign names: Castoreum (Fr.), Bibergeil (Ger.), Castoreo (Sp.), Castoreo (It.) Description: Castoreum is a secretion from the male or the female beaver. The name designates the dried follicles and the glandular secretion. The animals are widely encountered in Alaska, Canada and Siberia. Castoreum is removed from the animal during the skinning period and is dried in the sun or sometimes over burning wood. The fresh pouch contains a yellowish, butter-like mass with a fetid, sharp, aromatic odor. The dried product is dark-brown, hard and resinous. Canadian pouches are wrinkled, pear-shaped, almost flat, from 6 to 15 cm long and 4 to 8 cm wide. Siberian pouches are ovoid and smooth, slightly larger in size, but valued less commercially. The part used is scent gland secretion from castor sacs (dried and ground). Castoreum has a warm, animal-sweet odor, becoming more pleasant on dilution. Sometimes a birch, tar-like, musky odor is also perceptible. Derivatives: Dried secretion, tincture, resinoid, absolute. The resinoid is prepared by extraction of the dried, ground pouches using petroleum ether. The absolute is prepared by the alcoholic extraction of the resinoid. Consumption: Annual: 43.33 lb

Description: Catechu black must not be confused with either the Areca catechu L. (betel) or with the Uncaria gambir Robx. (gambir catechu). Acacia catechu grows as a tree up to 20 m tall with a great number of branches. Acacia catechu grows in India, Ceylon and Jamaica. The trunk has a dark bark; the leaves are about 20 to 50 cm long and fall during the dry season. It has very small cylindrical, spiked flowers. The part used is bark. Catechu black has a bitter, astringent flavor. A. catechu wood yields dye and catechu, an extract chewed with betel nuts and used to treat sore throats. Derivatives: Decoction is obtained by extracting the bark with water. The liquid is then concentrated, poured into molds, and allowed to dry. The resulting product (a dark-brown, porous, fragile mass) yields the flavor ingredient. Tincture, 20% in 80% ethanol (tannin free), is another derivative. Consumption: Annual: 43.33 lb

Description: The volatile oil is obtained by steam distillation of crushed seeds in approximately 1.5 to 2.5% yields. The seed oil has a pleasant, spicy-warm, sweet and rich “soup-like,” long-lasting and powerful, slightly fatty odor, typical of the odor of the seed, but less “fresh” than the odor of the celery plant. The flavor is equally warm and spicy, somewhat burning and very powerful. Celery seed oil has one of the most diffusive odors and one of the most penetrating flavors. The essential oil is sometimes steam-distilled from leaves and stems; however, this oil is of inferior quality. Its addition to celery seed oil lowers the specific gravity and increases the optical rotation of the latter. Consumption: Annual: 24500.00 lb

CHERRY, WILD Botanical name: Prunus serotina Ehrl Botanical family: Rosaceae Other names: Wild black cherry; Rum cherry Foreign names: Cerisier d’automne (Fr.), Traubenkirsche (Ger.), Cerezo de todos los santos (Sp.), Ciliegio d’autunno (It.) Description: Cherry wild is a large tree growing up to 25 m high with reddish-brown branches, aromatic inner bark, lanceolate leaves and purplish-black fruits with a slightly bitter, vinous flavor. The plant is native to southern Ontario, is widespread in the United States, Central America and Europe (England, Germany, Belgium, France). Wild cherry is often confused with P. virginiana L. (choke cherry), which has an erect trunk, smoother bark, and more lanceolate and nervate leaves. The late flowering of P. serotina (June to July) justifies its botanical name. The parts used are the bark and the small branches and twigs. Cherry wild has a sweet, tart, cherry-like flavor.

Description: C. dentata (American chestnut) is the variety of C. vulgaris or sativa (maroon) and other Castanea species. C. crenata, the Japanese species, differs in having large fruits. The plant, native to Asia Minor, is widespread in Europe, Asia and North America. American chestnut has been largely exterminated by blight (a fungus imported from Europe). The American chestnut was cultivated in 1800 and was once considered to be the queen of the eastern American forest. With massive, widespreading branches and a deep, broad-rounded crown, the American chestnut was known to reach a height of 30 m. It was commonly found on mountains, hills and slopes in gravelly or rocky, well-drained glacial soils. The parts used are nutmeat and leaves. Chestnut has an astringent, tonic taste. Note: The sweet chestnut (C. sativa) and other Castanea species are derived from a genus separate from the horse chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum). Chestnut of the genus Aesculus is considered toxic.

Description: American chestnut leaves were traditionally used as a flavoring ingredient, but a fungal disease introduced into North America decimated the American chestnut population over the past 50 to 60 years. Mediterranean varieties of chestnut, including C. sativa Mill. (also known as C. vesac Gaertn, or C. vulgaris Lamm., sweet or Spanish chestnut), are now used, although much is imported from Hungary and the former Yugoslavia. The leaves of C. sativa Mill. are gathered during the months of September and October. Extracts of chestnut leaves have a strong, astringent effect and are used only sparingly as a flavoring ingredient. Probably a greater use is as an antitussive and expectorant in folk medicine.

Description: The Ceylon cinnamon tree can grow to 10 m. It has long, lanceolated leaves, small flowers in clusters and small fruits. It is cultivated by extensive pruning (coppicing). Increasingly, significant plantations are available in the Seychilles and in Brazil. The whole outer bark is peeled from the trees every 2 years; the outer corky layer is removed by careful scraping, and the bark strips are sun-dried. Cinnamon, commercially known as “Saigon cinnamon,” has superior odor and flavor and is produced from the bark of trees grown in the Saigon district of Vietnam. Saigon cinnamon is used mainly as a ground spice. Chinese cinnamon or cassia is the dried bark of C. cassia, a large tree that grows wild in Southeast Asia. The dried inner bark of the shoots of coppiced trees and the leaves are the parts used. Cinnamon has a somewhat bitter flavor, slightly pungent and burning. The genus Cinnamomum includes several species of great economic importance with various species or parts of the same plant producing different and variable products for human use. For detailed description of cinnamon, refer to Burdock (1997).

Description: Citric acid and its salts are naturally occurring constituents and common metabolites in plant and animal tissues. Citric acid is an intermediary compound in the Krebs cycle linking oxidative metabolism of carbohydrate, protein and fat. The concentration of naturally occurring citrate is relatively higher in fruits, particularly citrus fruits and juices than vegetables and animal tissues. Typical concentrations, fresh weight, are about 1% in orange juice and up to 8% in unripe lemon juice as compared to less than 0.1% in peas, corn and cabbage and about 0.1% in human milk. Citric acid has a pleasant acid taste and is odorless.* Consumption: Annual: 106,833,333.33 lb

Description: Ceylon citronella (C. nardus) and Java citronella (C. winterianus) are both perennial grasses growing more than 1 m high. The herb is harvested two to three times a year in Ceylon. The freshly cut or partially dried herb is steam distilled. The plant yields the largest amount of essential oil at about its third year of growth. Citronella is also cultivated and distilled in Java, Guatemala, Taiwan, Hainan, Argentina and New Guinea. The Java-type essential oil is considered to be of superior quality over the Ceylon type. Citronella has a characteristic citronella, rose- and lemon-like odor. The Council of Europe (CoE, 2000) has described Ceylon citronella and Java Citronella separately.

Description: Cloves are dried, unopened flower buds and twig tips of the evergreen tree Eugenla caryophyllata Thunberg. The clove tree can grow to 20 m (66 ft), and is native to tropical regions of Asia (Molucca Islands, Réunion, Penang, Zanzibar, Pemba, Tanzania, Malagasy Republic and Madagascar) and South America. Cloves have been used in China and India for centuries, even before the time of Christ. Cloves entered the western European market in the sixth century. In the United States, cloves have been used since colonial times. The principal use of cloves is in flavoring of foods and tobacco; minor uses of cloves are as analgesics and germicides. The quality of the clove product is dependent on the development stage of the flower bud. Clove buds are typically dark brown with four calyx lobes. Buds and stems are harvested by hand, sun-dried and marketed. The highest quality buds are sold as whole cloves, whereas lower quality buds, stems and leaves are used in the production of essential oils. The aroma is strongly aromatic and spicy. The flavor is warm. A major component of clove is eugenol, which has served as a medicinal agent for the treatment of gastric and duodenal ulcers, disinfectant for root canals, local anodyne for relief of hypersensitive dentin and inflamed vital pulps and a component of temporary fillings for carious teeth. Derivatives: Tincture (20% in 60 to 80% ethanol), extract, oleoresins (from buds only), and the various essential oils Derivative names: Clove bud extract, clove bud oil, clove bud oleoresin, clove lead oil, clove stem oil Consumption: Annual: 508333.33 lb

Description: Clove bud oleoresin is a commercial name for various extracts of clove buds. The direct extraction product from the buds with boiling ethyl alcohol is quite common. Its odor is often perceptibly affected by the presence of small amounts of solvent (ethyl alcohol). Upon aging, the oleoresins develop a wine-like note, but the overall fragrance is very typical of the spice itself. The alcohol-extracted oleoresin generally makes for a more powerful perfume and flavor material than any of the other types of extract. Also see Clove.

Description: A shrub native to Ethiopia and now cultivated in tropical and equatorial regions. It can grow 10 m (33 ft) tall, but is pruned to 4 to 5 m (13 to 16 ft) when cultivated. The branches are long with persistent leaves and white flowers. The ovary develops into an ovoidal berry. The berry turns red as it ripens and contains two seeds (beans). The raw beans are gray or yellow in color; the exact color depends on the quality of the bean. When roasted, the beans darken. Coffee has a distinct aroma and bitter taste. Derivatives: Infusion, soft extract, dried extract, tincture (20% in 40 to 70% ethanol) and distillate (65% proof alcohol). Consumption: Annual: <1.00 lb

These volatiles include pyrazines, aldehydes, furans, acids and thiols. Pyrazines (2-methoxy-3-isopropyl pyrazine, 2-methoxy3-isobutyl pyrazine, etc.) contribute as much as 14% of volatiles in roasted coffee. Three furanones also contribute to the aroma/flavor characteristic of roasted coffee, which include 4,5-dimethyl-3-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone, 5-ethyl-4-methyl-3-hydroxy-2(5H)-furanone and 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone. Constituents present in the oil of the bean include furfural, sulfur derivatives and volatile acids.

Description: Roasted coffee beans consist of soluble and insoluble products. Under laboratory conditions, it is possible to extract a high percentage of the soluble compounds, whereas in normal household brews, this percentage is likely to be only 15 to 25%. Yields and concentrations vary widely due to differences in beans, the size of the grinds, type of brewing process and degree of roasting. In general, home brewing of coffee uses 42, 48 and 57 g of ground, roasted coffee per liter of water in the United States, United Kingdom and Europe, respectively. Therefore, the final beverage consists of <2% w/w soluble products of coffee. Soluble coffee extract is the product consisting of the dried solids prepared from a water extract or water extracts of coffee. Consumption: Annual: 276666.67 lb

True Curacao peel is derived from a variety of the bitter orange tree, the so-called varietas curassaviensis. The tree is cultivated on the island of Curacao. The peel is the only part used. The green peels are also dried and sold for pharmaceutical and botanical uses. Curacao peel has a powerful, fresh and rich, grape-like, citrus-peel odor. It is reminiscent of expressed lime oil, petitgrain oil and bitter orange oil. Consumption: Annual: n/a

Description: Currant black is a shrub with woody, erect stems covered by a brown bark; alternate, palmately lobed, toothed leaves covered with tiny yellow glands; flowers arranged in loosely drooping racemes, internally purplish and externally greenish; fruits (June to July) consisting of several clustered, globose, black, fleshy berries, exhibiting a pleasant, slightly acid taste. The plant grows up to 3 m (10 ft) tall. It grows wild in several European countries and is extensively cultivated in France. The parts used are the leaves, fruits and flower buds. In Siberia, a drink is made of the leaves that when young, make common spirits resembling brandy. An infusion of them is like green tea, and can change the flavor of black tea. Currant black has a strong, aromatic, terpene-like odor. The fruits and the juice exhibit a slightly sour, pleasant flavor. Derivatives: Juice (by expression of the fruits), distillation waters (from leaves), infusion (5% from dried leaves), fluid extract (from leaves), concrete, absolute (tincture from flower buds) Consumption: Annual: n/a Regulatory Status: CoE: n/a FDA: 21 CFR 172.510 FDA (other): HOC (1992) JECFA: n/a

DANDELION Botanical name: Taraxacum officinale Weber, T. officinal Wiggers, T. officinale F.H. Wigg and T. laevigatum D.C. Botanical family: Asteraceae (Compositae) Other names: Dandelion, lion’s tooth Foreign names: Pissenlit (Fr.), Lowenzahn (Ger.), Diente de leon (Sp.), Tarassaco (It.) Description: The dandelion is a perennial, herbaceous plant, widespread throughout Europe. It grows 15 to 30 cm (6 to 12 in.) tall, with thick, spindle-shaped roots; long, floral scapes terminated by yellow heads (March to October), and smooth, oblong leaves arranged in a rose-like fashion. The leaves are toothed or deeply cut and the appearance of leaves gives rise to the name “lion’s teeth.” The deep roots are the part used. Dandelion has a bitter, tonic taste and an aromatic odor. Derivatives: Infusion (5%), fluid extract, dried aqueous extract, tincture (20% in 20% ethanol). Consumption: Annual: n/a

Dandelion also contains sodium and vitamins C and D.* The acids found in dandelion include caffeic, p-hydroxyphenyl-acetic, chlorogenic, oleic, palmitic and the fatty acids linoleic and linolenic. Gallic and ascorbic acids are also detected. Chicoric acid and the related monocaffeyltartaric acid were found to be the major phenolic constituents in flowers, roots, leaves and involucral bracts.† Aroma threshold values: n/a Taste threshold values: n/a

DEERTONGUE Botanical name: Liatris odoratissima Botanical family: Compositae Other names: Lacinaria; Liatris oleoresin Description: This is a stout, erect herb, 2 to 3 ft high, with smooth, thick leaves 4 to 10 in. long and 1 to 0.5 in. wide. In August to September, the small, purple flowers are borne, 5 to 10 in a head, in branched, rather flat-topped clusters. The plant is very common in the southeastern United States, where it is also known as prairie pine or blazing star (which refers to the shape and the flowers of the plant). The leaves of this plant become very fragrant when dried. The leaves are the part used. Deertongue has a green, sharp, herbaceous to intensely vanilla-sweet and candy-like taste.

Description: In North America, there are two forms of dill encountered: Dill weed oil (A. graveolens) and Dill seed oil (A. sowa Robx.) (usually of Indian origin). Dill seed oil is also separately described under Dill Indian (see). (1) Dill weed oil: In the United States, the essential oil is obtained by steam distillation of the fresh herb (stalks, leaves and seeds). American dill weed has a strong, fresh, somewhat spicy, aromatic odor and a warm, slightly burning taste. (2) Dill seed oil: Dill seed oil is obtained by steam distillation of the fruits (seeds). The oil has a caraway-like odor and flavor because of the higher carvone content as compared to dill weed oil. Consumption: Annual: 210000.00 lb

DISODIUM 5ʹ-GUANYLATE
Description: Disodium guanylate contains approximately seven molecules of water of crystallization. It has a characteristic taste. Disodium guanylate (GMP) is often used in combination with disodium inosinate (IMP) and monosodium glutamate (MSG). These substances are some of the taste principle components in both animal and vegetable foods, and they contribute to a fundamental taste sensation called “savory.” The taste intensity differs with the concentration. Although taste quality of IMP or GMP in the presence of MSG is almost similar, GMP provides smoother “fullness” and “thickness” than IMP. The synergistic effect between nucleotides and MSG in cooking has long been empirically established. For example, in traditional Japanese cooking, soup stocks are made by simmering dried tangle (kombu), rich in glutamate (2.26 to 5.73 g/100 g), along with dried bonito (katsuobishi), rich in IMP (0.63 to 1.31 g/100 g) or with a type of dried mushroom, (shiitake) rich in GMP (0.21 g/100 g). Europeans make soup stocks by cooking animal meats rich in IMP or several kinds of mushrooms rich in GMP, along with vegetables containing glutamate (Burdock, 1997). Consumption: Annual: 91666.67 lb

Description: Dittany is a glabrous, perennial herb covered with a tacky gland. The plant is native to the island of Crete and widespread throughout the mountains of southern Europe. It has erect, round nodulose stems; coriaceous leaves; irregular, white (sometimes red-streaked) flowers arranged in hirsute clusters; and glabose seeds with an outer black, shiny tunic. Dittany has pale roots. All parts of the plant are covered with lemon-scented glands, which exude sufficient vapor to ignite in hot weather. The parts used are the roots and bark. Dittany has a tonic, aromatic flavor. Derivatives: Infusion (2%) and tincture (20%) Consumption: Annual: n/a

Composition: Dittany contains tannic acid, a trace of glucose, gummy matter, considerable extractive matter, a part of which was bitter and acid, and dark-green resin; the ashes give salts of potassium, calcium, magnesium and iron. The presence of dictamine (alkaloid), in combination with trigonellin and chlorine, is responsible for the antispasmodic properties of dittany derivatives. Dittany has been claimed to contain the 5-methoxypsoralen and 8-methoxypsoralen responsible for photocontact dermatitis.

DRAGON’S BLOOD Botanical name: Daemonorops draco Blume; D. propinquus Becc. Botanical family: Palmae Other names: Dracorubin; Dragon’s blood extract Description: The resin exuding from the fruit of Malaysian rattan palm. Most of the Malaysian supply comes from unripe, scaly, cherry-sized fruits of eight species of climbing jungle palms (rattan) belonging to the genus Daemonorops. The resin is collected by shaking the dry fruits in baskets filled with cockleshells. The friction detaches the resin, which falls through the bottom of the basket in the form of a gritty powder. The latter is then pounded to dust, softened with hot water and molded into cakes. Dragon’s blood is an astringent and a colorant. Consumption: Annual: n/a

Description: Any of several coarse, red seaweeds used as a food in Scotland, Ireland and other northern countries. It is especially abundant along the New England coast, growing on rocks and larger seaweeds. It consists of flat, fan-shaped fronds, solitary or tufted, a good deal divided and sometimes subdivided. Dulse is eaten raw as a relish, either fresh or dried; plant boiled in water or cooked in butter or milk to be served as a vegetable with fish or meat and added to stews and similar dishes. It should be washed several times before using. In Scotland, it is roasted by twisting it around red-hot tongs. It offers little in the way of nutrition, as its main components are not assimilated; its food merits are confined chiefly to its gelatinous properties, which are useful for thickening soups, beverages and jams. The entire weed is used. Consumption: Annual: n/a

Description: Ethyl vanillin has an intense vanilla odor and sweet taste. The flavoring power is two to four times stronger than vanillin. Ethyl vanillin has been used in food since the 1930s; it enhances fruity and chocolate odor impression. Its addition is self-limiting, as too high a level may impart an unpleasant flavor in the product; the product is not stable. In contact with iron or alkali, it exhibits a red color and loses its flavoring power. Consumption: Annual: 2,616,666.67 lb

Synthesis: From safrole by isomerization to isosafrole and subsequent oxidation to piperonal; the methylene linkage is then broken by heating piperonal in an alcoholic solution of KOH; finally the resulting protocatechualdehyde is reacted with ethyl alcohol. From guaethol by condensation with chloral to yield 3-ethoxy-4-hydroxyphenyl trichloromethyl carbinol; this is then boiled with an alcoholic solution of KOH or NaOH, acidified, and extracted with chloroform to yield ethyl vanillin. Aroma threshold values: Detection: 100 ppb; recognition: 2 ppm Taste threshold values: Taste characteristics at 50 ppm: sweet, creamy, vanilla, smooth and caramellic. Natural occurrence: Not reported found in nature; it can be distinguished from vanillin because of the yellow color developed in the presence of concentrated H2SO4.

Synthesis: The oil containing eugenol is treated with a 3% aqueous solution of NaOH; the nonacid components are extracted with ether; the alkaline solution is acidified to isolate the phenols and subsequently is fractionally distilled under reduced pressure; to avoid the formation of emulsions, a pretreatment of the oil with tartaric acid is preferred; eugenol is the starting material in one of the syntheses for the preparation of vanillin. Aroma threshold values: Detection: 6 to 100 ppb Taste threshold values: n/a Natural occurrence: Reported found as a constituent in several volatile oils: clove oil, laurel and cinnamon leaf oil. Smaller amounts of eugenol are also present in the oil of camphor, Java citronella, California laurel and acacia flowers; remarkable amounts of eugenol are found in Ocimum sanctum (70%) and Ocimum gratissimum (60%). Eugenol is also found in the oil from violet flowers (21%); in some plants, eugenol probably occurs as glucoside. Reported found in apricot, citrus oils, raspberry, strawberry, tomato, anise, cinnamon (leaf, bark and roots), clove bud and stem, nutmeg, mace, pepper, smoked fish, beer, whiskey, grape wines, cocoa, mango, tarragon, laurel, myrtle leaf, and pimento berry and leaf.

Description: Fennel is an herbaceous, perennial plant, native to the Mediterranean regions; it grows wild or cultivated almost everywhere—central Europe, India, Argentina, and the United States. Only the cultivated plant is used for extractive purposes. The plant closely resembles sweet fennel, with the exception of having somewhat larger seeds. Also, sweet fennel does not grow wild; it is cultivated only. A number of subspecies have been identified and their names add to the potential confusion surrounding the terminology of fennel plants. The green parts of the plant, dried seeds and roots are used. Fennel common has a warm, camphoraceous odor with a bitter, slightly burning flavor.

Description: This is an herbaceous plant indigenous to western Asia, now widespread throughout mountainous and hilly areas of Europe, the Mediterranean and Asia. The herb is about 0.5 m (20 in.) tall, with a velveted, erect stalk, alternate leaves and whitish-yellow flowers that bloom from June to July. The fruits are linear-compressed with smooth, rounded seeds. The seeds are the part used. The seeds have a slight maple taste and are often used in production of imitation maple flavorings. The freshly comminuted seed displays an intensely sweet, spicy, protein-like aroma. The flavor is reminiscent of slightly burnt sugar, with a bitter back note. Derivatives: Infusion (5%), fluid extract, tincture (20% in 30% ethanol) and oleoresin. Consumption: Annual: 73500.00 lb

FIR BALSAM OIL
697
Botanical family: Pinaceae Foreign names: Abies balsamea (L.) Mill. is used worldwide to classify this tree. Description: Fir balsam is a tall tree with a characteristic pyramidal shape and numerous branches. The tree is widespread throughout North America, particularly in Canada (Nova Scotia) and the northern United States. A liquid oleoresin is contained in vesicles under the back of the trunk. This resin, known as Canada balsam, is collected between May and August from incisions made in the bark. The operation is repeated on the same tree every 2 to 3 years. Canada balsam is in fact a turpentine consisting mainly of resin and essential oil; the resin does not contain benzoic or cinnamic acids. The balsam is a viscous, pale yellow to greenish-yellow, translucent mass that slowly dries on exposure to air. The needles, twigs and balsam are the parts used. Fir balsam has a balsamic, pleasant, fresh odor, reminiscent of spruce or hemlock. Derivatives: Concrete, absolute. A fir-needle concrete (sometimes called balsam fir needle oleoresin) is prepared by solvent extraction of the needles. Various kinds of fir and spruce needles are also employed for extraction in addition to A. balsamea needles. An absolute is prepared from the concrete by alcoholic extraction.

Essential oil composition: Reducing sugars from fir balsam account for 47% of the balsam fir bark. The leaf oil contains 17.6% bornyl acetate and probably 1-α-pinene, Canada balsam contains approximately 20% 1-β-phellandrene and smaller quantities of α- and β-pinene, bornyl acetate, and the alcohols androl and bupleurol. Oils are reported to contain juvabione and dehydrojuvabione. Balsams are supposed to contain benzoic and cinnamic acids. “Turpentine” is a misnomer, implying that the oleoresin is entirely steam volatile. Actually it contains 70 to 80% resin, but only 16 to 20% volatile oil. One analysis of the essential oils reports 14.6% bornyl acetate, 36.1% β-pinene, 11.1% 3-carene, 11.1% limonene, 6.8% camphene and 8.4% α-pinene.

Description: Garlic is an herbaceous, perennial plant of Mediterranean origin. Its stalk can reach lengths of 1 m (39 in.). The plant exhibits flat, keeled leaves and is terminated by an umbellated flower cluster. The bulb-like root contains several bulbils (cloves) enclosed in a common membrane. The bulbs are the part used. Garlic has a pungent, acrid, aromatic, garlic-like odor. In addition to the natural form, garlic is marketed as minced dehydrated garlic; garlic powder, which is ground dehydrated cloves; garlic salt, which is garlic powder mixed with table salt, and, if necessary, some edible starch to prevent caking; and oil of garlic, which is steamdistilled from crushed garlic bulbs. Derivatives: Various cysteine derivatives from garlic related to alliin containing allyl groups attached to cysteine sulfur. Consumption: Annual: 410000.00 lb

Composition: Although found in only small quantities, fresh garlic is a known source of several vitamins, minerals and trace elements. Garlic is known to contain the highest sulfur content of any member of the allium genus. The bulbs contain a colorless and odorless sulfur-containing amino acid called alliin (S-allyl-L-cysteine sulfoxide). Major chemical constituents of whole garlic include alliin (allylsulfinyl alanine), which is rapidly converted enzymatically when garlic is crushed to allicin (responsible for the characteristic odor of the essential oil and for the odor liberated from the crushed garlic clove), volatile and fatty acids, mucilage and albumin.

Description: Geraniol has a characteristic rose-like odor. The physical constants vary for the various commercial products, depending on the total geraniol content; specific gravity and refractive index may be indicative of the purity of the product. Commercial geraniol cannot be classified according to its alcohol content, as most of the recurring impurities are alcoholic in nature (nerol, citronellol, tetrahydrogeraniol). Gas chromatography techniques may be usefully employed to determine the geraniol content in a product. Consumption: Annual: 2000.00 lb

Description: Geranium macrorrhuzum L. is the only true geranium and is a sticky, aromatic perennial with hairy, toothed leaves that turn gold in autumn, red to purple flowers and explosive seed dispersal. A large number of hybrids have been developed from several Pelargonium species, from which the essential oil is obtained. Pelargonium is a perennial plant when growing in subtropical climates; the plant dies in winter and must be planted annually in temperate climates. The largest geranium cultivations are on Réunion (island east of Madagascar); more than 50% of the world production of geranium oil comes from this island. The cultivated variety is P. graveolens. Other important geranium cultivations occur in Africa (Algeria, Morocco, Congo, Tanzania, Kenya) and in Europe (Russia, Bulgaria, France, Italy, Spain); South Africa is the only area where geraniums grow wild. The various essential oils are distinguished by the geographical name of the country of origin—Réunion geranium, Moroccan geranium, African geranium,

Description: Gum ghatti is an exudate from the tree Anogeissus latifolia, a large tree, widely distributed in India and Ceylon. The name “ghatti” is derived from the word ghats, meaning “passes,” and given to the gum because of its ancient mountain transportation routes. The tree A. latifolia is also used as a source of timber, and its tannin-rich leaves are used for tanning. Production, collection and processing methods are very similar to those for gum karaya. The largest crop is normally picked in April. The gum is an exudate from damaged bark, which is gathered by hand during the dry season and sold at auction; tears are ground to a fine particle size by the processor.

Description: An herbaceous plant native to Asia, ginger is cultivated in tropical and subtropical countries (Jamaica, India, Africa, southern China and Australia). It can grow 60 to 90 cm (2 to 3 ft) tall and has tuber-like rhizomes with leaf-bearing and flower-bearing stems. The rhizomes must split for the plant to propagate. The African and Cochin variety rhizomes are used most frequently for distillation. It has a warm, sweet, strongly aromatic odor; sharp, pungent flavor. The rhizome is harvested between 6 and 20 months; taste and pungency increase with maturity. Brown ginger is produced from unpeeled rhizomes, whereas white ginger is produced from skinned rhizomes. Medicinal use of ginger dates back to ancient history and references to its use are found in Sesruta scriptures of Aurvedic medicine, as well as in Sanskrit writings.* Derivatives: Fluid extract, tincture (20% in 60 to 65% ethanol), oleoresin Consumption: Annual: 3,500,000.00 lb

Description: Ginseng is among the world’s most well-known herbs. A number of species of ginseng grow around the wolrd. Several species and varieties of ginseng are recognized from different countries. The two most commonly used species are P. folium L. and P. ginseng C.A. Meyer. Ginseng has a perennial, fusiform, whitish, thick and fleshy root, transversely wrinkled and terminating in fibers. The roots mature slowly and are harvested only after the first 3 years. The stem is round, smooth, green, often with a tinge of red, about 30 cm (1 ft) high, regularly divided at the top into three petioles, with a flower-stalk in the center. The petiole is round, smooth and swollen at the base; leaves 3 to 7, ternate, quinate, or septentate that drop in the fall. Flowers are small, greenish, in a simple umbel, supported by a round, slender peduncle, which rises from the top of the stem in the center of the petioles. The plant bears a cluster of red or yellowish fruits from June to July. The berries are kidney-shaped, retuse at both ends, compressed, of a brightscarlet color, crowned with a calyx and styles, and contain two and sometimes three semicircular seeds. Root is the part used. It has a faint smell and the taste is sweetish, somewhat bitter, mucilaginous and feebly aromatic. Derivatives: Infusion

Composition: As early as 1854, a saponin called panaquilon was obtained from an aqueous infusion of P. quinquefolium.* Several classes of compounds have been isolated from ginseng root. These include triterpene saponins, essential oil-containing polyacetylenes and sesquiterpenes, polysaccharides, peptidoglycans, nitrogen-containing compounds, and various ubiquitous compounds, such as fatty acids, carbohydrates and phenolic compounds. Several studies have focused on the steroid-like compounds called ginsenoside. Five new dammarane-type triterpene oligoglycosides called quinquenosides I, II, III, IV and V were isolated together with 14 known dammarane-type triterpene oligoglycosides such as chikusetsusaponin IVa, pseudo-ginsenoside-RC1, malonyl-ginsenoside-Rb1, and notoginsenosides-A,-C, and -K from the 1-butanol-soluble fraction. From the ethyl acetate-soluble fraction, four known acetylenic compounds and 6ʹ-O-acetyl ginsenoside-Rg1 were isolated.† Reported uses: Some popular products are made from ginseng, which include many types of ginseng herbal teas sold in tea bags, granules and ready-to-drink cans. The dried roots, prongs and especially the fibers can be steeped in hot water to produce a liquid tea that manufacturers can sweeten and package aseptically. The supplementation of chewing gums and candies with ginseng are also popular applications. Aroma threshold values: n/a Taste threshold values: n/a

GRAPEFRUIT Botanical name: Citrus paradisi Macfad.; C. decumana L. Botanical family: Rutaceae Foreign names: Pamplemousse (Fr.), Pompelmusen (Ger.), Pamplemusa (Sp.), Pomplemo (It.) Description: The plant grows 9 to 15 m (30 to 50 ft) tall. The tree has a rounded and conical head, ovate glabrous leaves and smooth, gray-brown bark. The tree bears large, white, fragrant flowers. The fruit is large, light lemon or orange, with a thin rind and grayishyellow or flesh pink. The odor is fresh and citrus-like; taste is reminiscent of sweet and bitter orange to some degree. The parts used are the fruit and peel. Historically and botanically, the origin of grapefruit is uncertain and appears to have developed from the Shaddok variety native to the West Indies. The plant is cultivated in the United States (Florida, California, Texas), eastern Asia, West Indies, Brazil and Nigeria. The C. decumana variety yields the largest fruits (up to 10 kg). Derivatives: Juice and extract. Naringin, a bitter, white, crystalline glucoside, is found in the blossoms and the flavedo of the fruits. Naringin yields rhamnose and naringenin (C15H12O5) on hydrolysis. A naringin extract, prepared from the expressed peels, is used for flavors.

Physical–chemical characteristics: Its color is yellow, sometimes reddish (often showing a flocculent separation of waxy material). It is soluble in most fixed oils, often with opalescence or cloudiness. It is slightly soluble in propylene glycol and insoluble in glycerin. It may contain a suitable antioxidant. Essential oil components: The main constituents include limonene (90%), 2 to 3% volatile fraction containing oxygenated compounds and sesquiterpenes, 7 to 8% waxy fraction, C8 to C10 aldehydes (1.67%), geraniol, cadinene, small amounts of citral and dimethyl anthranilate and acids. A terpeneless oil can be prepared by vacuum distillation, yielding a more soluble and more stable concentrated oil. However, a certain amount of terpenes must be left in the oil to retain the characteristic freshness of citrus flavor. Aroma threshold values: Aroma characteristics at 1.0%: dry citrusy grapefruitlike, musty with some fruity orange notes and a terpy and aldehydic nuance. Taste threshold values: Taste characteristics at 10 ppm: dry, citrusy, mildly metallic and juicy aldehydic aftertaste. Natural Occurrence: Reported found in grapefruit.

Description: Guar gum is the endosperm of the seed of the Indian cluster bean, Cyamopsis tetragonolobus. It has been grown for several thousand years in India and Pakistan as a vegetable and a forage crop. The guar is a hardy and drought-resistant plant, which grows 1 to 2 m high with vertical stalks and resembles the soybean plant in general appearance. The guar pods, which grow in clusters along the vertical stems, are about 30 cm long and contain six to nine seeds, which are considerably smaller than locust bean seeds. Guar gum is odorless. As in the case of locust bean gum, the endosperm, which comprises 35 to 42% of the seed, is the source of the gum. Typically, guar gum is around 80% of the endosperm of the guar seed. As the endosperm is about 40% of the seed, guar gum is roughly 30% of the guar plant seed. It is harvested before the first rain following the first frost to obtain maximum yield and purity (Burdock, 1997). Consumption: Annual: 5,400,000.00 lb

Physical–chemical characteristics: Guar gum is a white to yellowish-white powder. It is dispersible in either hot or cold water, forming a solution having a pH between 5.4 and 7.0 that may be converted to gel by the addition of a small amount of sodium borate. Composition: Guar gum consists chiefly of a high molecular weight hydrocolloid polysaccharide (galactomannan), composed of a straight chain of D-mannose with a D-galactose side chain at approximately every other mannose unit. The mannose units are β-(1→4) linked and the single D-galactose units are joined to this chain by α-(1→6) linkages. The mannose–galactose ratio is about 2:1.

Description: Hemlock: Nine species of evergreen, mostly hardy, coniferous trees, belong to the genus Tsuga. They are medium to large in size and usually pyramid-shaped. Native to North America, Japan, Taiwan, China and the Himalayas, the species has horizontal branches, solitary monoecious flowers and globose to ovoid or oblong cones with thin, persistent scales. The bark of T. canadensis is a valuable source of tannin. T. heterophylla is the largest North American species, being 70 m (230 ft) or more in height. Spruce: P. glauca is a tall tree (15 to 45 m, or 49 to 148 ft tall) resembling the balsam fir (Abies balsamea). White spruce has slender, pale, glaucous leaves and cylindrical cones with thin scales. P. canadensis is a shorter tree of 8 to 12 m (26 to 39 ft). It has short, thick, pale bluish-green leaves and short, ovoid or subglobose cones persisting for several years. Distillation of needles and twigs of the above plants yields hemlock and spruce oils. No attempt is made to keep these species separate for oil production; hence, spruce oil and hemlock oil are used interchangeably in commercial practice. Hemlock (spruce) has a pleasant balsamic, fresh, pine-needle odor. Consumption: Annual: n/a
