New in the Sixth Edition
- 200+ newly approved flavor ingredients
- Ingredient's safety standing with the Flavor and Extract Manufacturers' Association and/or the FDA
- Extensive and expanded information on aroma and taste thresholds
- Updated regulatory information on each flavor ingredient
- New discussion on botanical substances that serve as flavoring ingredients
The fourth and fifth editions added more than 300 new entries and represented a total reorganization and updating of the text, consistent with new data and regulations. This, the sixth edition, is likewise expanded with over 200 new entries, including many botanicals and other natural substances. The addition of botanicals is a response to an expanded readership with an interest in dietary supplements, in which a number of flavoring botanicals serve a dual role.
