Since the last publication of the ‘Dictionary of Flavors’, the industry has gone through a monumental change. This author cannot remember as many accomplishments in the science, as many regulation changes or as many challenges, day to day pressures and concerns that have occurred as in the last few years. Tremendous strides have occurred in identifying nerve receptors for flavor chemicals to the point where receptors are being linked to specific chemical structures. Culinary considerations and their effect on flavor creation continue to explode. Regulatory concerns for food safety and worker safety are on the minds of every successful flavorist today. Marketing concerns such as ‘Gluten‐Free’, ‘All Natural’, ‘GMO Free’, ‘Clean Label’ and on and on drive project decisions and flavor creation techniques. FSMA, HACCP, SDS, BRC, SQF are acronyms now part of the flavorist's everyday life. We live in a time when technology is exploding and the successful flavorist must meet these challenges head on. I hope that some of the additional citations made in this third edition of the ‘Dictionary of Flavors’ will help make this happen and aid in the future flavorist of tomorrow.
I have said many times that sometime in the future someone will look back and exclaim ‘Those were truly exciting times during the early new Millennium, I wonder what it would have been like to be part of all that excitement’. Enjoy!
