Abstract
The following data for organic chemicals is presented in tabular alphabetical format (Table 10-1) to provide a ready source of information of direct and immediate concern to the flavorist engaged in compounding imitation flavorings. The list provides information on:
-
a.
The usually accepted chemical name or common name, if this is the more familiar usage.
-
b.
Principal synonym(s), where these are of value in correctly identifying the chemical.
-
c.
The FEMA and/or IOFI classification number, which also aids identification. The following symbols are used in the tables:
-
Art = artificial
-
NI = nature-identical (substances occurring in natural products not normally considered as foods)
-
N = natural
-
-
d.
IOFI classification (Code of practice for the flavor industry, Oct. 20, 1978, as amended July 1990).
-
e.
Solubility data, particularly in ethanol, water, propylene glycol and fixed oils. The compounding of flavorings involves the blending together of ingredients of wide physical disparity; this is achieved by the use of permitted solvents of which those quoted are most widely used. The following symbols are used in the tables:
-
In = insoluble
-
VSL = very slightly soluble
-
SL = slightly soluble
-
S = soluble
-
VS = very soluble
-
M = miscible
-
-
f.
Boiling point and flash point, which are of value in determining the relative stability and safety in handling of a flavoring, particularly where the product is intended to be spray dried.
-
g.
Legal status in the United States, particularly whether the chemical is found in nature.
