What is the impact factor of flavor and fragrance?
Spices used as raw materials for flavoring can be divided into four types according to their use in flavors: main fragrance, compound fragrance, modifier and fixative.
1. Main fragrance (Base)
The main fragrance is the basic spice that constitutes the main aroma of the essence - the fragrance type. Therefore, the fragrance type of the spice that plays the role of the main fragrance must be consistent with the fragrance type of the prepared essence. Some flavors only use one kind of spice as the main flavoring agent. For example, when blending orange blossom flavoring, only orange leaf oil is used as the main flavoring agent. But in most cases, multiple to dozens of spices are used as the main fragrance. For example, when blending rose essence, several spices such as geraniol, vanillyl alcohol, phenethyl alcohol, and geranium oil are commonly used as the main fragrance.
2. Blender
Harmonizing agents are also called coordinating agents. The fragrance type used as a harmonious fragrance should be similar to the fragrance type of the main fragrance. Its function is to harmonize the aroma of various ingredients and make the aroma of the main fragrance more obvious.
3. Modifier
Modifiers are also called modifiers. The fragrance type used as a modifier spice is not of the same type as the main fragrance. It is a dark fragrance ingredient that can be effective in a small amount. Its function is to change the style of the fragrance and make it unique.
4. Fixative
Fragrance fixative is also called fragrance preserving agent. Its function is to volatilize the various spice ingredients in the essence evenly, prevent rapid evaporation, and make the fragrance of the essence last longer. Such as musk, civet, castoreum, dragon's nest and other animal-based natural spices; Peruvian resin, tulu resin, oakmoss resin, benzoin balm, orris balsam, sandalwood oil, vetiver oil and other plant-based natural spices; and boiling point higher High liquid or crystalline synthetic fragrance. Synthetic musk, vanillin, coumarin, acetyl eugenol, benzyl benzoate, linalyl phenylacetate, etc. are all good fixatives.
