Perfume and Flavor Engineering: A Chemical Engineering Perspective
In the last two decades, scientific methodologies for the prediction of the design, performance and classification of fragrance mixtures have been developed at the Laboratory of Separation and Reaction Engineering. This review intends to give an overview of such developments. It all started with the question: what do we smell? The Perfumery Ternary Diagram enables us to determine the dominant odor for each perfume composition. Evaporation and 1D diffusion model is analyzed based on vapor-liquid equilibrium and Fick’s law for diffusion giving access to perfume performance parameters. The effect of matrix and skin is addressed and the trail of perfumes analyzed. Classification of perfumes with the perfumery radar is discussed. The methodology is extended to flavor and taste engineering. Finally, future research directions are suggested.

Scent
A fascinating exploration of the natural history of scent
and human perceptions of fragrance from the viewpoint of plant and
pollinator Plants have long harnessed the chemical
characteristics of aromatic compounds to shape the world around
them. Frankincense resin from the genus Boswellia seals
injured tissues and protects trees from invading pathogens. Jasmine
produces a molecule called linalool that attracts pollinating moths
with its flowery scent. Tobacco uses a similarly sweet-smelling
compound called benzyl acetone to attract pollinators. Only
recently in the evolutionary history of plants, however, have
humans learned to co-opt their fragrances to seduce, heal, protect,
and alter moods themselves. In this wide-ranging and accessible new
book, biologist-turned-perfumer Elise Vernon Pearlstine turns our
human-centered perception of fragrance on its head and investigates
plants' evolutionary reasons for creating aromatic molecules.
Delving into themes of spirituality, wealth, power, addiction,
royalty, fantasy, and more, Pearlstine uncovers the natural history
of aromatic substances and their intersection with human culture
and civilization.
