Deepen understanding of flavors and fragrances industry (chemical project management combat notes 007)

Individuals do not know much about flavors and fragrances. Because the other part of the project is fragrant raw materials, we must add relevant knowledge. Flavors and fragrances refer to aromas and aromas that are used for the preparation of fragrances. They are a complex mixture of certain fragrances based on a variety of natural and synthetic flavors and formulated with other excipients. In all kinds of flavored products.

Flavors and fragrances industry main product categories. According to the source of spices, it can be divided into natural and artificial flavors. The natural flavors can be further divided into animal natural flavors and vegetal natural flavors, and are aroma substances extracted from the secretions of flowers, fruits, leaves, stems, roots, skins, or animals of natural plants; artificial flavors can also be divided into Separated from spices and synthetic spices.

China has included the management of food flavors and spices into the category of food additives. The list of food flavors and fragrances that are allowed to be used is included in the national standard GB2760 "Hygiene Standards for the Use of Food Additives", and the quality specifications of food flavors and fragrances are published in the form of national standards or industry standards.

Flavors and spices Traditional raw materials include peppermint, lemon, rose, lavender, vetiver and other spice plants as well as musk, ambergris and other animal spices. The upstream of its industrial chain covers many fields such as agriculture, forestry, and animal husbandry. These upstream industries form resource diversity and resource stocks, which determine the energy of the entire flavor and fragrance industry.

One thing is certain that traditional natural raw materials simply cannot meet the development of social needs. Therefore, using petroleum products as raw materials to produce aromatic materials through complex technology transformation is the only way. From this perspective, the project is in line with the general direction of industrial development. Although human nature has longed for the use of natural raw materials, petroleum-based products have entered all areas of human life, including food, clothing, housing, and transportation.

In fact, oil itself is a product of nature. We do not need to fear the artificial conversion of natural products, because it is the desire of humans to use all resources irrespective of what they really fear.
