Preface
Since.publication.of.the.first.edition.of.Fenaroli’s Handbook of 
Flavor Ingredients. in. 1971,. Fenaroli’s has. remained. the. stan-
dard.reference.for.flavor.ingredients.throughout.the.world..Each.
subsequent. edition.has. listed.more. substances,. including. those.
conferred.food.additive.status,.substances.generally.recognized.
as.safe.(GRAS).by.qualified.scientists.(including.the.Flavor.and.
Extract.Manufacturers’.Association.[FEMA].Expert.Panel).and.
those.substances.having.undergone.GRAS.Notification.with.the.
Food.and.Drug.Administration.(FDA)..The.fourth.and.fifth.edi-
tions.added.300+.entries.and.represented.a.total.reorganization.
and.updating.of. the. text,. consistent.with.new.data.and. regula-
tions.. This. 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.reader-
ship.with.an.interest.in.dietary.supplements,.in.which.a.number.
of.flavoring.botanicals.serve.a.dual.role.
GRAS, Dietary Supplements and Other 
Terms of Art, Science and Regulation
The.reader.is.cautioned.that.GRAS.status.and.approval.for.use.
as.a.dietary.supplement*.should.not.be.confused,.for.they.are.not.
the. same.and.not. even. related.†.Both. the. statutory. and. regula-
tory. language. is. very. clear. in. making. the. distinction. between.
these. two.entities..Even. the.standard.for.determining.safety.of.
GRAS. versus. dietary. supplements. is. different.‡. For. the. same.
reasons,.dietary.supplements.are.often.not.GRAS.(nor.are.food.
additives,. for. that.matter).and.cannot.be.added. to. food. for. the.
purpose. of. providing. a. dietary. supplement.§. Please. be. aware.
that. a. GRAS. designation. is. not. sufficient. for. lawful. use. as. a.
dietary.supplement.and.vice.versa..Ingredients.not.used.before.
in.dietary.supplements.must.undergo.the.New.Dietary.Ingredient.
Notification.(NDIN).process.with.FDA.(Web.site;.www.fda.gov.
[search. NDIN]).. If. you. need. help. in. preparing. an. NDIN. or. a.
GRAS.determination,.go.to.www.burdockgroup.com.or.contact.
us.at.407-802-1400.
The.reader.should.also.note.that.a.substance.is.GRAS.for.no.
other.purpose.(e.g.,.a.flavor.ingredient).and.at.no.other.amount.
(i.e.,.level.of.use).than.for.which.it.was.approved..The.position.of.
the.FDA.was.reasserted.with.the.following.statement:
*. More. appropriately,. this. means. lack. of. objection. by. FDA. for. use. as. a.
dietary.supplement.ingredient.
†. For.a.definition.of.GRAS,.see.the.definition.of.“food.additive”.in.Section.
201(s). of. the. Federal. Food. Drug. and. Cosmetic. Act. as. Amended.. For. a.
definition.of.a.dietary.supplement,.see.Section.201(ff).of.the.Act.
‡. The. reader. is. referred. to. a.discussion.of. this.distinction. (Burdock,.2000,.
Dietary. supplements. and. lessons. to. be. learned. from. GRAS,. RegulatoryToxicology and Pharmacology. 31:68-76).. Copies. are. also. available. upon.
request.at.www.burdockgroup.com.
§. A.“nutrient. supplement”.may.be.added. to. food,.but. this. is. also.distinct.
from.a.dietary.supplement..See.21.CFR.§170.3(o)(20).for.a.definition.
It.has.been.too.often.assumed.that.the.GRAS.substance.
may.be.used.in.any.food,.at.any.level.for.any.purpose..
As.a.result,.the.uses.of.some.GRAS.food.ingredients.
have.proliferated.to.the.point.where.the.GRAS.status.
was. brought. into. serious. question.. (Federal Register.
39:34194-34195,.1974.)
There. are,. of. course,. exceptions. to. all. of. the. preceding,. but.
each.must.be.evaluated.according.to.its.own.merits;.and.for.these.
judgments,. the. opinion. of. experts. in. toxicology. and. regulations.
should.be.sought..Frequently.asked.questions.regarding.the.mean-
ing.of.“safe,”.“common.knowledge,”.“notified.substance,”.etc.,.are.
addressed.in.62.Fed. Reg..18937.(April.17,.1997).or.log.on.to.http://
www.burdockgroup.com.
Safety-in-Use
Most,.but.not.all,.of.the.ingredients.cited.in.this.book.are.either.
foods.or.products. thereof.that.are.generally.recognized.as.safe.
(GRAS).or.have.food.additive.status..Also,.as.noted.above,.there.
are.exceptions.to.every.rule.and.this.is.no.less.true.in.determi-
nations.of.safety..Therefore,.while.there.is.an.obligation.on.the.
original. approving.party. to. ensure. safety-in-use. at. the. time.of.
approval,. there. is.no.assurance. that.all. scientific.data.continue.
to.support.the.original.determination.of.safety..For.example,.saf-
role,. coumarin. and. cinnamyl. anthranilate,. all. once. commonly.
used.and.presumed.safe,.are.now.prohibited.from.addition.to.food.
by.FDA.(21.Code.of.Federal.Regulations.(CFR).§189).as.a.result.
of.adverse.data.coming.to.light..Likewise,.FEMA.has.withdrawn.
GRAS.status.for.nine.substances,. including.alknet.root.extract.
(FEMA.No..2016),.2-methyl-5-vinylpyrazine.(FEMA.No..3211),.
musk. ambrette. (FEMA. No.. 2758). and. o-vinylanisole. (FEMA.
No..3248)..These.substances.are.no.longer.considered.safe.and.
cannot.be.added.to.food..The.bottom.line.is.that.the.user.of.the.
substance.is.responsible.for.ensuring.its.safe.use..Therefore,.the.
reader.is.urged.to.make.a.determination.of.safety.based.on.con-
temporaneous.data,.not.simply.historical. information. that.may.
be.outdated.

Introduction
Definition of a Flavor
As.might.be.expected,.the.definition.of.a.flavor.will.vary.accord-
ing.to.the.source..The.U.S..Food.and.Drug.Administration.(FDA).
defines.flavoring.agents.and.adjuvants.as.“substances.added. to.
impart.or.help.impart.a.taste.or.aroma.in.food”.(21.CFR.§170.3(o)
(12))..The.FDA.identifies.flavor.enhancers.as.“substances.added.
to.supplement,.enhance,.or.modify.the.original.taste.and/or.aroma.
of.a.food,.without.imparting.a.characteristic.taste.or.aroma.of.its.
own”*.(21.CFR.§170.3(o)(11))..To.forestall.the.next.question,.what.
constitutes.a.natural.flavor,.is.described.in.21.CFR.§101.22(a)(3).
as.follows:
The. term. natural. flavor. or. natural. flavoring. means.
the.essential.oil,.oleoresin,.essence.or.extractive,.pro-
tein.hydrolysate,.distillate,.or.any.product.of.roasting,.
heating.or. enzymolysis,.which.contains. the.flavoring.
constituents.derived. from.a.spice,. fruit.or. fruit. juice,.
vegetable.or.vegetable. juice,.edible.yeast,.herb,.bark,.
bud,.root,.leaf.or.similar.plant.material,.meat,.seafood,.
poultry,.eggs,.dairy.products,.or.fermentation.products.
thereof,.whose.significant.function.in.food.is.flavoring.
rather.than.nutritional..Natural.flavors.include.the.nat-
ural.essence.or.extractives.obtained.from.plants.listed.
in.§§182.10,.182.20,.182.40,.and.182.50.and.part.184.
of. this. chapter,. and. the. substances. listed. in.§172.510.
of.this.chapter.
This.broad.definition.also.embraces.thermally.processed.fla-
vors. and. smoke. flavors. and. flavors. such. as. “natural. vanillin,”.
which. requires. naturally. occurring. precursors,. such. as. ferulic.
acid. to. enzymatic/fermentive. processes. to. make. vanillin,. that.
are.by.this.definition,.natural..Artificial.flavors.are.as.described.
in.21.CFR.§101.22.(a)(1):
The.term.artificial.flavor.or.artificial.flavoring.means.
any.substance,.the.function.of.which.is.to.impart.flavor,.
which.is.not.derived.from.a.spice,.fruit.or.fruit.juice,.
vegetable.or.vegetable. juice,.edible.yeast,.herb,.bark,.
bud,. root,. leaf. or. similar. plant. material,. meat,. fish,.
poultry,. eggs,. dairy. products,. or. fermentation. prod-
ucts. thereof.. Artificial. flavor. includes. the. substances.
listed.in.§§172.515(b).and.182.60.of.this.chapter.except.
where.these.are.derived.from.natural.sources.
*. Flavor. enhancers. include. such. substances. as. monosodium. glutamate.
(MSG). or. inositol. with. no. specific. taste. of. their. own,. but. an. ability. to.
enhance.other.flavor.ingredients..Also,.substances.commonly.used.as.fla-
vors.or.sweeteners.(such.as.cinnamon.or.aspartame),.but.used.at.concentra-
tions.below.their.own.threshold.of.perception,.may.also.enhance.the.flavor.
of.other.ingredients.
This.distinction.between.artificial.and.natural.serves.as.a.basis.
for.labeling.and.because.of.market.pressures,.the.term.natural.is.
preferred.for.the.label.over.any.description.that.might.include.the.
word.artificial..Also,.the.term.artificial.is.separate.and.distinct.
from.the.term.imitation.(See.21.CFR.§101.3).
The.term.nature identical once.used.widely.to.designate.a.sub-stance,. although.present. in.nature,.may.also.be.produced. syn-
thetically..For.example,.natural.benzaldehyde.is.produced.from.
the.pits.of.peaches,.but. this.process.has.a.rather. low.yield.and.
produces.waste.material. (cyanide). for.which.disposal. is.costly..
On. the.other.hand,.production.of.benzaldehyde. from.chemical.
feedstock.is.much.more.economical.and.is.putatively.the.same.
as. that. produced. from. nature;. therefore,. it. is. nature identical. 
The.use.of.this.term.is.an.artifact.of.regulation.because.at.one.
time.the.approval.process.in.some.European.countries.was.much.
easier.for.those.substances.with.a.natural.counterpart..The.term.
nature identical was.never.embraced.by.the.FDA.and.has.largely.
been.superseded.by.the.term.chemically defined substance..The.
nature identical. designation. is. still. used. by. the. International.
Organisation.of.Flavour.Industries (IOFI).
The.European.Community.(EC).Directive.88/388†.addresses.
“flavouring,”.“flavouring.substance”.and.even.“flavouring.prepa-
ration,”. which. designates. a. flavoring. resulting. from. a. process,.
such. as. enzymatically. developed. flavors. in. cheese.. In. all,. the.
directive. extends. over. several. pages. and. includes. definitions,.
specifications.and.provisions.for.further.action.on.items,.includ-
ing. limits.on.production.methods. and.nonflavor. ingredients. in.
flavors.(including.preservatives,.solvents.and.processing.aids).
. 1.. This.Directive.shall.apply.to.‘flavourings’.used.
or.intended.for.use.in.or.on.foodstuffs.to.impart.
odour.and.or.taste,.and.to.source.materials.used.
for.the.production.of.flavorings.
. 2.. For.the.purposes.of.this.Directive:
. a.. ‘flavouring’. means. flavouring. substances,.
flavouring. preparations,. process. flavour-
ings,.smoke.flavourings.or.mixtures.thereof;
. b.. ‘flavouring. substance’. means. a. defined.
chemical.substance.with.flavouring.proper-
ties.which.is.obtained:
. i.. by. appropriate. physical. processes.
(including. distillation. and. solvent.
extraction). or. enzymatic. or. micro-
biological. processes. from. material. of.
vegetable.or.animal.origin.either.in.the.
raw.state.or.after.processing.for.human.
consumption.by.traditional.food-prepa-
ration.processes.(including.drying,.tor-
refaction.and.fermentation)
†. A.directive.sets.out.minimum.standards.and.when.adopted.by.the.member.

sumption. by. traditional. food-preparation.
processes. (including. drying. torrefaction.
and.fermentation);

is. obtained. according. to. good. manufac-
turing. practices. by. heating. to. a. tempera-
ture. not. exceeding. 180oC. for. a. period. not.
exceeding. 15. minutes. a. mixture. of. ingre-
dients,. not. necessarily. themselves. having.
flavouring.properties,.of.which.at.least.one.
contains.nitrogen.(amino).and.another.is.a.
reducing.sugar;
. e.. ‘smoke.flavouring’.means.a. smoke.extract.
used. in. traditional. foodstuffs. smoking.
processes.
. 3.. Flavourings. may. contain. foodstuffs. as. well. as.
other.substances.as.described.[elsewhere]
This.directive.is.binding.on.member.states,.except.if.a.member.
state.determines.that.the.regulation.or.regulated.substance.may.
constitute.a.danger.to.the.health.of.the.citizens.or.environment.of.
the.member.state,.it.may.suspend.or.restrict.the.use.of.that.chemi-
cal.within.the.borders.of.the.member.state.
The. Council. of. Europe. (CoE). uses. a. fairly. broad. definition.
of.flavor:
A. flavouring. substance. is. a. chemically-defined. com-
pound.which.has.flavouring.properties.. It. is.obtained.
either.by.isolation.from.a.natural.source.or.by.synthe-
sis..Flavouring.properties.are.those.which.are.predom-
inantly.odour-producing.and.which.may.also.affect.the.
taste.
Interestingly,. the. Joint. (WHO/FAO). Expert. Committee. on.
Food.Additives.and.Contaminants.(JECFA).has.no.definition.of.
what.constitutes.a.flavor—artificial.or.natural.
Nonregulatory. organizations. have. slightly. different. views.
of. the. term. flavor.. The. International. Organization. of. Flavour.
Industries.indicates.a.flavor.as.a.“concentrated.preparation,.with.
or.without. solvents. or. carriers,. used. to. impart.flavor,.with. the.
exception.of.only.salty,.sweet,.or.acid.tastes..It.is.not.intended.to.
be.consumed.as.such.”.This.definition.brings.up.an. interesting.
point.not.addressed.by.regulations:.that.is,.a.flavor.is.not.intended.
to.be.consumed. in.and.by. itself;. it. is.always. incorporated. in.a.
delivery.system.(at.the.very.least.as.a.flavor.in.mineral.water.or.
as. a. sweetened. flavor. poured. over. shaved. ice).. The. Society. of.
Flavor.Chemists.describes.a.flavor.to.be.“a.substance.that.may.
be.a.single.chemical.entity.or.a.blend.of.chemicals.of.natural.or.
synthetic.origin.whose.primary.purpose.is.to.provide.all.or.part.
of. the.particular.effect. to.any.food.or.other.product. taken. into.
the.mouth.”
As.descriptive.as.various.organizations.or.regulatory.agen-
cies.might.be.in.their.definitions,.none.is.so.comprehensive.as.
the.following:.
Flavor.is.the.sum.of.those.characteristics.of.any.mate-
rial. taken. in. the.mouth,. perceived.principally.by. the.
senses.of.taste.and.smell,.and.also.the.general.pain.and.
tactile. receptors. in. the. mouth,. as. received. and. inter-
preted.by.the.brain.*
.This.definition.reminds.us.that.flavor.can.be.an.experience.
as.well.as.a.sensation..Consider.the.pain,.bite.and.heat.associ-
ated.with.capsicum.(red.pepper),.piperine.(black.pepper).and.
allylisothiocyanate. (horseradish).as.part.of. the.“total.experi-
ence”.of.eating.food..This.experience.also.forms.associations.
needed.for.future.discriminations,.both.negative.and.positive..
For. example,. it. is. possible. to. make. banana-flavored. potato.
chips,.but.the.crunchy.texture.would.be.incongruous.with.the.
taste.. Conversely,. we. have. long. enjoyed. pineapple-flavored.
hard.candy,.which.in.reality. tastes.nothing.like.the.fruit,.but.
has.long.been.accepted.as.how.a.pineapple.candy.should.taste.

conducted.by.the.National.Academy.of.Sciences.under.
contract. to. the. FDA. (NRC,. 1989).. The. last. survey.
was.conducted.in.1987.and.was.based.on.a.voluntary.
reporting.by.manufacturers.of. the.volume.of. ingredi-
ents.produced.during.the.survey.year..The.assumption.
is. that. there. is. a.finite. amount.of. substance. available.
and.it.is.ingested.regardless.of.source.at.the.retail.level..
The.method.is.easy.to.use.because.it.divides.the.total.
yearly.poundage.by.the.population.in. the.survey.year.
and.the.number.of.days.per.year..Some.considerations.
are.necessary.in.the.use.of.the.survey.data.because.(1).

amount.reported.is.a.fraction.of.the.actual.volume;.and.
(2).not.all.persons.eat.all. foods.each.day.in.each.cat-
egory.in.which.the.substance.may.be.found.and,.con-
versely,.some.consumers.may.seek.out. the.substance;.
therefore,.distribution.of.consumption.may.be.uneven..
In. order. to. compensate. for. these. variables,. the. FDA.
assumes.(1).only.60%.of.the.actual.value.was.reported.

(both. usual. and. maximum). in. specific. categories. of.
food..Unless.otherwise.noted,.the.reported.uses.in.this.
book. are. those. designated. by. the. Flavor. and. Extract.
Manufacturers’.Association.(FEMA).from.the.list.of.34.
food. categories. adopted. by. FEMA.. The. FDA. recog-
nizes.43.general.categories.of.food.(21.CFR.§170.3(n)).
as.originally.established.in.Exhibit.33B.of.the.report.of.
the.National.Academy.of.Sciences/National.Research.
Council,.“A.Comprehensive.Survey.of.Industry.on.the.
Use.of.Food.Chemicals.Generally.Recognized.as.Safe”.
(September.1972).
Secondary food additive:. Usually. designating. a. substance.
used.in.the.manufacture.of.food.and,.although.it.may.
be.present.in.the.final.product,.having.no.functionality.
Glossary xxi
in.the.final.food..Examples.include.enzymes.for.pro-
cessing.cheese,.solvents,. lubricants.or. release.agents.
(a. release. agent. allows. a. piece. of. candy. to. exit. the.
mold.without.damage).
Single-fold oil:. The.oil.as.it.is.produced.from.the.plant.(distilla-
tion.or.expression).without.concentration.
Solid extract:. A.water-soluble.concentrated.extractant.resulting.
from.the.extraction.of.plant.matter.using.water-compat-
ible.solvents..If.the.concentrated.product.is.oil-soluble,.it. would. be. an. oleoresin.. Fluid. extracts. are. water. or.
alcohol.reconstitutions.of.solid.extracts.
Specialty:. Usually.similar. to.a.compound,.only.not.finished..
A.specialty,.although.not.complete,.carries.the.major.
part.of. the.flavor. load,.so. that.only.a.few.other.sub-
stances.are.needed.to.complete.the.flavoring.
Synthetic:. Produced.by.chemical.means,.but.not.to.be.confused.
with.the.term.artificial.
TAMDI (theoretical added maximum daily intake):. Calculated.
on.the.basis.of.upper.use.levels.and.the.estimated.daily.
intakes.of.foods..For.example,. the.more.recent.FEMA.
GRAS. lists. indicate. two. levels. of. use,. the. “average.
usual”.and.“average.maximum.”.The.TAMDI.would.be.
determined. using. the. “average. maximum”. level. times.
the.estimated.daily.intake.of.the.food.to.which.the.sub-
stance.is.added..The.estimated.daily.would.presumably.
be.maximized.as.well,.using.the.90th.or.95th.percentile.
consumption.
Terpeneless oil:. Removal.of.some.terpenes.to.provide.stability.
because.they.contribute.to.the.instability.of.an.essen-
tial.oil..However,.removal.of.all.terpenes.may.severely.
undermine.the.flavor..There.is.no.standard.of.what.con-
stitutes.a.“terpeneless.oil.”
Tincture:. An.alcoholic.extract.of.a.botanical.material.without.
further.processing..Although.originally.an.apothecary’s.
term,. in. the. flavor. industry,. it. refers. to. an. alcoholic.
extract.of.a.botanical.in.which.the.aroma.is.preserved.
Top note:. The. first. note. normally. perceived. when. a. flavor. is.
smelled.or.tasted..Usually.a.top.note.is.relatively.volatile.
and.suggests.identity.
Type or class:. The.flavorist’s.tendency.to.group.similar.flavors.
together,. for. example,. red. flavors. (flavorings):. straw-
berry,.cherry,.raspberry;.citrus flavors:.lemon,.orange,.
lime,.grapefruit,.bergamot;.brown flavors:.coffee,.malt,.
caramel;. spice flavors:. cassia,. clove,. nutmeg.. Classes.
can.also.be.made.by.volatility,.chemical.function.or.end.
use.
WONF (with other natural flavors):. Essentially,.this.indicates.
the.addition.of.juices.in.addition.to.those.indicated.as.
the. characterizing. flavor. as. identified. on. the. label. of.
the.container..Please.consult.21.CFR.§102.for.labeling.
regulations.of.this.type.of.product.

Description:.Arabic.or.acacia.gum.is.the.dried.exudate.obtained.from.the.stems.and.branches.of.Acacia senegal (L.).Willd..or.of.
related.species.of.Acacia..Injured.trees.exude.gum.Arabic;.heat,.poor.nutrition.and.drought.stimulate.its.production..Most.of.the.gum.
Arabic.production.is.from.wild.trees,.but.some.from.privately.owned.and.cultivated.gardens.are.tapped.and.collected.on.a.systematic.
basis.
The.gum.called.Hashab.geneina.(garden.gum).is.the.cleanest.and.lightest.grade.and.is.most.preferred.for.the.U.S..market..The.wild.
gum.(called.Hashab.wady).is.collected.on.a.part-time.basis.in.the.dry.season,.from.October.to.May.or.June,.by.natives.whose.main.
occupation.is.usually.farming..After.gathering,.it.is.taken.to.central.collecting.stations.where.it.is.auctioned.under.government.super-vision,.graded.by.hand.and.dried.before.exporting.to.gum.suppliers.in.all.parts.of.the.world..Then.it.is.resorted,.ground,.processed.
and.graded.to.various.specifications.
Clear,.white.(sun-bleached).spheroidal.tears,.up.to.32.mm.in.diameter,.also.occur.as.flakes..Chemically,.gum.Arabic.is.a.neutral.or.
slightly.acid.salt.of.a.complex.polysaccharide.containing.calcium,.magnesium.and.potassium.cations..Its.most.distinguishing.prop-
erty.among.the.natural.gums.is.its.extreme.solubility.in.water..Solutions.of.over.50%.concentration.may.be.prepared..Gum.Arabic.
is.best.described.as.“heteropolymolecular,”.that.is,.a.polymer.system.having.either.a.variation.in.monomer.(galactose,.arabinose,.
rhamnose,.glucuronic.acid.and.4-O-methylgucuronic.acid).composition.and/or.variation.in.the.mode.of.linking.and.branching.of.the.
monomer.units,.in.addition.to.a.distribution.in.molecular.weight.
Major.uses.of.gum.Arabic.in.foods.are.as.a.fixative.for.flavors,.a.foam.stabilizer.in.beverages,.an.adhesive.for.icings.and.toppings,.
and.an.emulsifier.and.stabilizer.in.confectionary.and.ice.cream..It.is.also.widely.used.in.the.pharmaceutical,.cosmetic,.paper,.textile,.
paint,.ink.and.lithography.industries.
