Topic Information

Dear Colleagues,

Nowadays, consumers are more attracted to the quality and effectiveness of products that contain natural ingredients. Both flavors and fragrances play an essential role in choosing a food, cosmetic, health, or homecare product. Meanwhile, the flavor and fragrance market was valued at USD 29 billion in 2021 and it is expected to grow to USD 37.3 billion by 2026. Natural flavors are derived from plants (herbs, spices, seeds, fruits, and vegetables), animals (meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, and dairy products), and fermented products, and they are ithen solated and concentrated via different methods (distillation, extraction, or cold pressing). Therefore, there is growing interest in examining how consumers perceive the sensory attributes of food products. The current Topic aims to provide an opportunity for researchers to publish their results concerning the analysis of flavors and fragrances in the most suitable journal possible, thus offering great visibility for their research. The Topic welcomes manuscripts regarding any aspects of flavors and fragrances in relation to their chemistry, synthesis mechanisms, identification, stability, encapsulation, and their application in the food industry and other environments.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.

MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:

  1. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
  2. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
  3. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
  4. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
  5. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
