Perfumery Materials : Production and Applications

Contents: Foreword. Preface. Introduction. 1. Natural perfumery materials: sources, characteristics, extraction and uses of natural perfumes (Essential/aromatic oils). 2. Natural perfumery materials: production technology. 3. Synthetic perfumery materials: production and applications. 4. Applications of perfumery materials. 5. Standardisation and evaluation. Subject index.

"The book comprises five chapters and covers almost all aspects of perfumery materials. Various kinds of essential (aromatic) oil-bearing materials and process technologies including recent processes for extraction of essential oils and methods of upgradation of essential oils by appropriate rectification and fractionation have been described. Structure-odor relationships and syntheses of wide variety of perfumery chemicals adapting chemical and biotechnology routes have been extensively covered. Perfumery and Non-perfumery applications of both natural and synthetic perfumery materials are also included. Considering the importance and requirements in commerce and industries, a chapter on standardization and evaluation of essential oils has been included. It covers routine physical and chemical tests, analysis by chromatographic techniques like TLC and GLC, GC-MS, and by other spectroscopic techniques for characterization and detection of adulterations in essential oils. The book as a whole provides a good compilation of most relevant aspects in the perfumery field."
