definition
Monomer flavor refers to the flavor compound with single component and clear molecular structure, which is the basic raw material for preparing various essence. Unlike natural essential oils (mixtures containing hundreds of ingredients), monomeric fragrances are pure single aromatic chemicals.
two major categories
1. Single spice (natural source monomer)
A single compound obtained by separating and purifying natural spices (essential oils, extracts, etc.) through physical or chemical methods
Physical methods: fractionation, freezing, recrystallization
Chemical methods: Boric acid ester method, phenol sodium salt method, sodium bisulfite addition method
Typical example:
Menthol (isolated from peppermint oil)
Linalool (single isolated from camphor oil/lavender oil)
Xiangye alcohol (isolated from lemongrass oil)
Eugenol (isolated from clove oil)
Vanillin (isolated from vanilla)
Cinnamomum camphora and sandalwood alcohol
2. Synthetic flavors (artificially synthesized monomers)
The spice compounds prepared by chemical synthesis methods can be divided into:
Hydrocarbons: terpenes, aromatic hydrocarbons
Alcohols: Isopentanol, Phenylethanol, Vanillin (synthetic method)
Aldehydes: citral, citral, benzaldehyde, decanal
Ketones: menthone, ionone, muscone, isophorone
Esters: ethyl acetate, linalool acetate, methyl salicylate
Phenols/ethers: eugenol, anethol
Lactones: coumarin, gamma decanolactone
Musk: Ketone Musk, Xylene Musk, Jiale Musk
main purpose
Core raw materials for essence blending: Blenders use a variety of monomer fragrances to mix in proportion to simulate natural aroma or create a new flavor type
Food industry: food essence blending, beverage, candy, baking and flavor enhancement
Daily chemical products: perfume, soap, toothpaste, toiletries, cosmetics
Fragrance and flavor correction in industries such as tobacco, medicine, and feed
