5th Anniversary of Section "Flavours and Fragrances" and 30th Anniversary of Molecules

Dear Colleagues,

The Flavours and Fragrances section of Molecules was appointed in 2019; therefore, together with the 30th anniversary of Molecules, we have arranged the 5th anniversary of our section. I have the honor and pleasure to serve as Editor in Chief for this section. The number of papers published in the Flavours and Fragrances section to date is well over 300.

Our goal is to provide a platform for high-quality research papers covering different areas of flavour-related research, namely volatile/aroma compounds, food aroma and taste, essential oils, microbial flavors/volatiles, omic approaches in flavor research, sample preparation, and analysis of sensory active molecules. We would like to be a journal section that substantially contributes to the advances in flavor research.

To mark these anniversary milestones, I would like to announce the launch of a Special Issue entitled “5th Anniversary of Section Flavours and Fragrances and 30th Anniversary of Molecules”.

I encourage potential authors working on various aspects of flavour chemistry to contribute to this Special Issue. We particularly welcome papers on novel analytical techniques, advances in flavor chemistry, important aroma compound classes, biogeneration of flavors, and developments in “omic” techniques—both encompassing research and review papers.

Prof. Dr. Henryk H. Jeleń
Guest Editor
