Welcome to the second edition of
IFEATWORLD 2019.
The Conference programme for Bali
is well underway and we have almost
sold out of delegate tickets which
is great news! We’re expecting well
over 1,200 delegates this year and
look forward to welcoming you all
to this wonderful destination in Bali,
Indonesia.
We have a rich and varied
Conference programme this year
with a series of lectures running
for just two hours each day from
Monday to Thursday. There will
be two roundtables this year due
to the success of the past two
years’ sessions. Registration for the
roundtables is on the morning of
each on a “first come, first served”
basis. More information can be found
on the Bali Conference website at
https://bali2019.ifeat.org
In addition, we will be running a
fascinating science forum and once
again we will have a Fragrance
Workshop and a Flavour Workshop.
The new programme format
will mean that delegates will
have time to network and meet
with colleagues, customers and
suppliers from all over the world,
yet still have the opportunity to
attend a number of lectures and
the exhibition which will also run
across the four days. You can
read about the full Conference
lecture programme in this issue of
IFEATWORLD.
After the keynote lecture on
Monday morning, we would like
to invite all of our Indonesian
delegation to the stage for a
photograph by way of a thank you.
Don’t forget to visit other parts of
Bali outside the hotel!
Although the Conference venue
(Nusa Dua) is Bali’s most developed
resort area, you will still find many
cultural attractions in the area.
From the many temples, a museum
housing art and artefacts from
Indonesia and the Pacific, to the
unique natural landmarks. There is
plenty to do and see.
Beyond Nusa Dua, the rest of the
island is a wonderful place to
explore, and not forgetting what
the nearby island locations have to
offer. We have a fantastic choice of
tours which are available through
IFEAT’s appointed contractor,
Melali Bali DMC.
We would like to give our sincere
thanks to the local organising
committee, the Bali Conference
Committee, Melali Bali DMC and the
IFEAT staff team for their hard work
in helping us to make IFEAT 2019 one
of the best Conferences to date.
We are sure you are going to enjoy
the Bali Conference and we look
forward to meeting you there.
Keep in mind the climate in Bali
is tropical. Due to the warm
temperatures, the Conference will
have relaxed dress code. We highly
recommend resort-like attire or
traditional Indonesian batik!

MY PATCHOULI
PASSION
Do you know what CH Carolina
Herrera, Givenchy Ange ou Démon,
Prada Amber Pour Homme, Roberto
Cavalli Just Cavalli, Elle Yves Saint
Laurent and Thierry Mugler’s Angel
perfumes all have in common? They
all share a distinctive essential oil -
patchouli.
Patchouli’s unique musky, woodybalsamic
undertone provides a base
for an ethereal sweetness in the top
notes. Partnered with frankincense,
cedar wood, jasmine, rose and
vanilla, patchouli is nothing short of
olfactory paradise. Though patchouli
can hold its own in any fragrant
orchestra, it acts as a fixative. Therein
lies the secret of its covetous
popularity in the perfume world – its
ability to hold the top and middle
notes to the skin for longer, giving
the perfume its staying power. So
that’s where you might have come
across patchouli, whilst searching for
your signature perfume.
I would like to share with you that my
passion for patchouli began when I
was very young. I would recognise
its masculine, powerful, yet gently
unique fragrance anywhere. If I
had to think of one word I could

associate with patchouli, it would
be “remembrance”. Patchouli never
fails to rekindle whiffs of nostalgia. It
marks the earliest memories of my
father. Almost everything related to
my father had this special one-ofa-kind
note - in cars, papers, and
clothes.
Subconsciously,
patchouli had
instilled in me
the romance
of travelling
around the world. Although it was
a realisation in retrospect when
the familiar earthy scent crossed
my path again. I was formally
introduced to patchouli essential
oil during my perfumery lessons
at Charabot’s Perfumery School in
Grasse. Whilst studying all the raw
materials for perfumes, the patchouli
magic rekindled reminiscences of
family souvenirs, and childhood
recollections. Today I find myself
lucky to be an integral part of the
exhilarating world of aroma, food and
flavour.
The heady combination of patchouli
with floral notes like rose and
lavender is my weakness. Working
For very good reason,
patchouli is often referred

closely with patchouli - as I do -
every whiff evokes the strength and
mysticism of the oriental world, its
earthy and woody tones working
wonders to being at one with nature.
Patchouli or Pogostemon cablin is
native to India, Malaysia and parts
of Southeast Asia; and a cousin of
the mint family. It
was originally said
to be developed
and named by the
Tamil community
in southern India. In fact, the name
“patchouli” derives from the old
Tamil words “patchai” meaning
“green” and “ellai” meaning “leaf” .
There are few things around the
world that have been appreciated
through the centuries but patchouli
features as a popular medicinal
herb in ancient China from the years
420-589 AD, and a wellness elixir in
indigenous Asian practice. While the
Japanese and Arabs revered it as an
aphrodisiac, the Romans used it as
an appetite stimulant. The Egyptian
Pharaoh, Tutankhamun, couldn’t
give up patchouli - even in death.
He arranged for ten gallons of its
precious oil to be buried along with
him!
For very good reason, patchouli is
often referred to as “liquid gold.”
In the 18th century, in the form of
dried leaves and wrapped amidst
fine cashmeres and lustrous silks to
keep them pest-free, it sailed with
Napoleon Bonaparte and Chinese
silk merchants to reach European
shores. However, it was not until
1837 that patchouli’s distinctive
smell was identified. By then, the
rich musky fragrance was reigning
in the boudoirs of the crème de la
crème of European households,
and it was worth its weight in gold.
Quite literally, since early European
traders gladly traded one pound of
patchouli for a pound of gold.
Fast forward to 1960s America
when, once again, patchouli found
its way westwards to become
the “hippie” scent. It was used
extensively as a fragrance to
camouflage the smell of marijuana
- strongly associated with “hippie”
culture. Sometimes, it was
associated with exotic mysticism
and spiritualism of the east that
was emblematic of backpacking
hippies. Whatever the reason, the
cloying distinct aroma of patchouli
soon became the signature scent
of America’s free, flower-power
phenomenon.
Today, patchouli rules again but
in the perfumer’s palette. As a
purchaser of this oil for many
years for my company, I have
witnessed patchouli’s meteoric
rise in aromatherapy. We have
plodded through several crises
where availability could not meet
the demand,
thereby leading
to soaring
prices.

We are constantly facing challenges
of procuring a befitting substitute,

is every perfume connoisseur’s
delight.

CANCELLATION
STUDY TOUR CANCELLATION
Due to the series of bombings in
Sri Lanka this past April, the IFEAT
Executive Committee, after much
consideration and with great regret,
took the decision to cancel the
IFEAT Study Tour of Sri Lanka which
was planned for the 22nd to 31st
July 2019. IFEAT’s first priority is
the safety of our members and our
delegates and, as such, we adhered
to the advice provided by both the
UK Foreign and Commonwealth
Office and the US State Department
with regard to safety in the country.
The Local Organising Committee
has made considerable effort to
help organise what promised to be
an excellent study tour. It is our hope
that once stability has returned to Sri
Lanka, and the travel advice against
non-essential travel is lifted, IFEAT
will be able to bring the study tour
back to Sri Lanka.
We express our grave condolences
for the losses that both the country
and our industry colleagues have
faced following these recent tragic
events. We wish a speedy return to
peace and stability throughout the
region.

BALI CONFERENCE
The lecture programme at the Bali Conference will take place between 9.00 am and 11.00 am from
Monday to Thursday this year, giving delegates more opportunity to attend the presentations and
the exhibition as well as allowing plenty of time for meetings and networking. This year,
the Conference presentations will cover the theme of Naturals.
MONDAY:
INDONESIA
The four-day lecture
programme will
begin with a keynote
address on Naturals from
Indonesia by Ravi Sanganeria
of Ultra International Ltd, joint
conference chair and someone
very closely involved in Indonesian
essential oils in the 21st century. His
presentation will set the scene for
the conference and analyse some of
the key challenges and opportunities
that the Indonesian industry faces.
Indonesia is the world’s major
producer of several essential oils
and other natural isolates and the
presentation reviews trends in their
production and trade.
Analysis will be made of some of
the micro and macro challenges the
naturals sector faces, including:
• Climatic variations and
environmental challenges,
(e.g. global warming, tsunamis,
active volcanoes, soil erosion);
political and economic issues, (e.g.
currency fluctuations, corruption);
demographic, geographical and
infrastructural challenges
• Smallholders, who dominate
production, face severe
sustainability problems and
insufficient financial incentives
• An absence of suitable market
systems and institutions, which
discourage a lack of long-term
commitment
Nevertheless, the presentation
discusses three major positive
developments:
• Sulawesi, where over the past
decade there have been efforts
to create a secure and sustainable
raw material supply chain for
key oils
• The development of new valueadded
products
• The range of sustainability
initiatives being undertaken by
various companies
If Indonesia’s F&F ingredient supply
industry continues to invest, to be
creative, to adapt, to encourage,
to listen and to learn, then it will
continue to supply competitive,
good quality, sustainable natural
essential oils and derivatives to the
world market alongside providing
an expanding source of sustainable
new value-added innovative
ingredients.
Oliver Bernard of
the TRIPPER Group
will follow with a
paper entitled, Why
Sustainability is a
Must for the Future of
Indonesian Vanilla.
In the late 1980s, Indonesia
processed and exported over 800
MT of high quality cured vanilla
beans. During the last five years,
the average crop size was less
than 150 MT and the quality was
mediocre with low vanillin levels.
The presentation will show how
such a shift can occur and what can
be done to bring back Indonesia as
a major player on the world stage
and eliminate the fluctuations
witnessed in the past few years. The
focus of the presentation will be on
identifying the challenges facing the
long-term sustainability of vanilla.
The next paper,
Essential Oil of
Citronella Plant
from Indonesia will
be given by Natalia
Pandjaitan of PT
Haldin Pacific Semesta
who will discuss how the essential
oil compositions from the leaves of
citronella plants grown in Indonesia
from different sources vary
significantly.
The consistent variation of chemical
compositions in essential oil from
Indonesian citronella plants should
serve as useful information for
plant improvement programmes
in Indonesia. On the industry side,
essential oil from the citronella
plant that contains high amounts
of monoterpene oxygenated
compounds is greatly preferred by
F&F companies.
TUESDAY
As well as the usual AGM and IFEAT
Business session, the destinations
for the 2020 Conference and 2020
Study Tour will be announced and
the medals will be given to the
Medal Lecturer and Plymouth and
Reading’s 2019 best students.
This year’s Medal
Lecture will be given
by Petrus Arifin of
PT Karimun Kencana
Aromatics. His paper,
Scents of Patchouli –
A Journey in Time, will
give an overview of how, over the
past half century, patchouli oil as
a key Indonesian essential oil has
undergone many ups and downs,
impacted by many geographical
and political factors around it. The
presentation will give a personal
perspective and anecdotes
surrounding some key events
impacting patchouli oil, from the
beginning of its official export out
of Indonesia, the movement of
patchouli growing regions from
Sumatra to Java to Sulawesi, and to
trends influencing the patchouli oil
market.
To close Tuesday’s
session, Frank Mara
of Berjé Inc will
give A Personal
View of Essential
Oils: Inception,
Distribution &
Validation.
Frank will take the audience on a
historical tour of the discovery and
practice of using essential oils in
personal care, well-being and
flavour from its believed inception
through to the present day,
specifically looking at three distinct
pillars of focus:
• Inception
• Distribution
• Validation
These three pillars will go into detail
on the systematic change of the
essential oil industry, as well as what
we think may be in line for the future.
WEDNESDAY:
ASIA
Wednesday morning’s
session will take us to
Asia, when Nikky Tran of
Tech-Vina JSC will open
the lecture programme with
a paper entitled The Vietnam
Essential Oil Industry with Respect
to Sustainable Reforestation and
Exploitation.
BALI CONFERENCE

WORLD 13
BALI CONFERENCE
Vietnam is ranked amongst the 16th
most biodiverse countries in the
world. Its climate and conditions
are suitable for the cultivation of a
wide range of essential oils. Nikky’s
presentation will review the range,
the scale of current production, the
marketing and the growth patterns
of Vietnam’s essential oils.
The country suffered major forest
destruction as a result of the wars
that raged on and off for nearly
50 years; the “slash-and-burn”
cultivation practised by some
groups; the population growth and
economic development. Vietnam
essential oil manufacturers are
turning barren mountains and
once-destroyed forests green with
aromatic plants whose sustainable
exploitation could improve the locals’
livelihood through supplemental
income and employment.
The three most exported essential
oils are basil oil (Ocimum basilicum
L.), cassia oil (Cinnamomum cassia)
and cajeput oil (Melaleuca cajuputi).
The paper will look at the five less
traded essential oils, including
citronella oil Java type, anise leaf oil,
camphor oil, litsea cubeba oil and
tamanu oil, along with their market
expansion potential. It will also
examine aromatherapy in Vietnam
and its demand for foreign essential
oils such as peppermint oil, thyme
oil, coffee oil, chamomile oil, argan
oil, avocado carrier oil, pine oil, rose
oil and jasmine oil, mostly from India.
Following on, Ajay
Kumar Jain of Virat
Exports (P) Ltd., will
give a presentation
entitled Synthetic
Menthol used in the
Global Fragrance and Flavour
Industries and its Effect on
Natural Menthol Production.
The past decade has seen a
sizeable expansion of synthetic
menthol production capacity, thus
intensifying competition with natural
menthol, which is produced mainly
in India from Mentha arvensis oil.
The presentation provides an
overview of global synthetic menthol
production trends covering the
various processes used and its
demand and supply, particularly in
the F&F industries. In addition, the
challenges that synthetic menthol
provides to the sustainability of the
Indian natural menthol and mentha
oil industries will be analysed,
including the displacement of India
as the world’s largest producer and
exporter of natural menthol and the
impact on the many millions of Indian
M.arvensis growers and
processors.
We will then hear from
Geoffrey Henrotte of
Hinoki Lab who will
give an overview of
Authentic Essential Oils
from Japan in the Global Market.
The presentation will show how
Japan was previously a major
exporter of essential oils but how
the production of essential oils
has been in decline in recent years
with recent research data showing
that less than 1% of local natural
ingredients contribute to the entire
F&F production of Japan.
However, Japan is as diverse
culturally as it is biologically and
is considered to be a biodiversity
hotspot. Due to its geological
and geographical complexity the
presentation will prove that the
country is an ideal place for distilling
essential oils from aromatic plants.
More than 5,600 species of vascular
plants are growing in Japan, and
about a third of these are thought to
be endemic. The presentation will
look at the future opportunities for
Japanese essential oils.
The third
presentation will
be an overview of
Himalayan Medicinal
Plants and Their
Biological Activities from
Nepal and will be given by
Dr Prabodh Satyal.
Nepal is one of the world’s most
biodiverse countries, but not
much research work has been
done on any industrial level. This
presentation will show the market
drive of the essential oil industry
emerging from South Asia and will
show the therapeutic values.
Nepal is a small country, located
between two emerging giants of
the Asian continent: India and China.
However, like the Himalayan range,
Nepal’s biodiversity, a mosaic of
species, is an unmatched giant in
its own right. In coordination with
a botanist and a chemist from
Tribhuvan University in Nepal,
and the Natural Products Group
at the University of Alabama in
Huntsville, around 100 essential
oil samples were collected and
further analysed using GC-MS
for chemical composition as well
as tested for biological activity
including cytotoxicity, antimicrobial,
brine shrimp lethality, allelopathy,
larvicidal, and insecticidal activity.
Dr Satyal will present some
commercially important samples
such as Acorus calamus, Amomum
subulatum, Nardostachys jatamansi,
Artemisia vulgaris, Cinnamomum
camphora, Cinnamomum
glaucescens, Cinnamomum tamala,
Zanthoxylum armatum, Abies alba
and Rhododendron anthopogon
essential oil compositions and their
biological activities.
The final speaker
for Wednesday’s
session will be
Zieger Lin Zhigang
of EcoGreen
International Group
who will give a paper on
The Status and Development
of China Aroma Chemicals.
Undoubtedly China’s aroma
chemical industry has gained
significant development in the last
two decades. It is now playing a
very important role for the global
F&F industry. But it has been facing
challenges over the years too.
Zieger will briefly present some
of the main aspects of the current
state of China’s aroma chemical
industry and what the future holds.
China is a major producer of a
large number of aroma chemical
products and this presentation will
list the main products from China,
including production volumes
and market shares. It will also
show developments in China’s
aroma chemical industry, which
are supported, not only by market
growth but also by vast feedstock
availabilities in China, and driven by
advanced production technologies.
In addition, the presentation will
examine how key players in China
are working through the challenges
being faced.
THURSDAY:
AUSTRALIA
The final morning
of the Conference
lecture programme
will open with
Dorene Petersen of
the American College
of Healthcare Sciences (ACHS) who
will give a paper on Emerging and
Novel Clinical Aromatherapy and
Biological Potential of Thirteen
Australasian Essential Oils.
Dorene’s presentation will discuss
thirteen medicinal essential oil plant
species found in Australia, and New
Zealand. They were selected by
conducting a literature research
review based on the relevant
information of their reported
biological and aromatherapy
potential.
The presentation will also
cover aromatherapy terms, how
aromatherapy works and why
it is important to differentiate
gram-positive and gram-negative
bacteria. Both in vitro and in vivo
research studies will be presented
that support a number of areas of
aromatherapeutic and biological
potential of the thirteen specific
Australasian essential oils with
a primary focus on one of the
major current threats to global
health – antibiotic resistance. The
unnecessary overuse of antibiotics
and subsequent multi-drug
resistance is widely recognised
as a major threat to global health,
progress and sustainability.
The presentation will also review new
unique applications of essential oil
administration such as nanoparticle
delivery providing a source of
potential new products such as
localised topical administration using
sterile gauze dressings impregnated
with essential oil nanoparticles for
the treatment of skin and soft tissue
infections following surgery.
BALI CONFERENCE

WORLD
WORLD 15
BALI CONFERENCE
Ashley Dowell of
Southern Cross
University will follow
with a presentation
entitled The
Australian Essential
Oil Industry: History and
Emerging Trends.
Australia has a unique flora,
largely of Gondwanan origin, with
later influence from the Indian
subcontinent and South East Asia.
Many Australian plant species bear
essential oils with unique aromas
and medicinal properties.
This presentation will show what
research has been done into the
diverse and abundant oil-bearing
plants and how it began in earnest
from the late 1800s and continues
today. It will also examine how the
Australian industry flourished in the
early 1900s, later declined and then
saw a significant resurgence at the
end of the 20th century until the
present. It will also look at a number
of Australian native plant species
that are currently in significant
production, and will discuss the
many others that remain, and are yet
to be explored and developed.
Next we will hear from
Andrew Brown of
Quintis who will
present Australia’s
Plantation Santalum
Album: Forging a New
Future for an Ancient
Aromatic.
Revered for thousands of years for
its wellbeing properties, decades of
poaching and adulteration left Indian
sandalwood (Santalum album) on
the brink of extinction in the wild.
Today Australia is home to more than
12,000 hectares of Santalum album
plantations - a parasitic oil-bearing
tree with a rotation period of more
than a decade.
Andrew will create a sensory
experience for attendees to illustrate
the technical achievement of
Australia’s Santalum album industry
- a significant and emerging part
of “Naturals in Asia”. To do this, he
will use a combination of slides
(a mix of data-driven and pictorial
explanations) and video, as well
as distributing smelling strips of
oil products at different stages
of production, highlighting the
complexities of this process.
Ronald Mulder of
WA Sandalwood
Plantations and
Dutjahn Sandalwood
Oils will close
the conference
programme with a
paper on The Union of Traditional
Indigenous Custodians with New
Age Plantation Methods: From
Australia’s Gibson Desert to
the World.
Dutjahn Sandalwood Oils
(DSO) is a novel 50:50
partnership between
Indigenous Native Title
Holders and WA Sandalwood
Plantations (WASP) producing
Australian sandalwood oil
(Santalum spicatum) for export
to the global luxury perfume
market.
Sandalwood has been a major
ingredient used in the F&F
industry and traditionally
sourced from India in the
1990s. More recently
between 2000 and 2017,
Indigenous sandalwood
from Australia and New
Caledonia replaced this.
Plantations of Santalum album and
Santalum spicatum in Australia will
dominate the future world supply of
sandalwood.
Ronald’s presentation will show how
Indigenous people are navigating
their way through complex
government and industry barriers to
a fair and equitable position in order
to have a sustainable future.
FRAGRANCE
AND FLAVOUR
WORKSHOPS
AT THE BALI CONFERENCE
Following the success of last year’s fully booked workshops at the Cartagena Conference, we will be running two
workshops again this year in Bali. The format has changed and each workshop will run over two half days on Wednesday
and Thursday. Participants will attend the Fragrance Workshop on both Wednesday and then Thursday morning and
Flavour Workshop participants will attend both Wednesday and Thursday afternoons.*
FRAGRANCE
WORKSHOP
Led once again by Marianne Martin
on behalf of ICATS (the International
Centre for Aroma Trades Studies),
during the first morning, participants
will discover the language of
perfumery and how the physiology
and psychology of the sense of
smell affects individual perception.
Then, through the history of modern
fine fragrances, participants will
learn to classify fragrance into
families.
From this grounding, the second
morning will focus on creativity and
creation. Participants will have the
confidence to make a harmonious
fragrance blend. The essential oils
of Indonesia will feature throughout
the fragrance workshop.
FLAVOUR
WORKSHOP
John Wright will return to lead the
Flavour Workshop, which will cover
a wide range of areas.
DAY ONE:
• Flavour Creation
– a detailed look at flavour
creation and applications
• Synthetic Raw Materials
– a summary of the more important
ingredients and categories
• Natural Raw Materials
– covering all the main naturals
and their components
• Raspberry Flavour
– a practical team exercise to
create a raspberry flavour
DAY TWO:
• Precise Descriptors
– sensory evaluation and
primary odour descriptors
• Perfumers and Flavourists
– what can they learn from
each other
• Flavour Trends
– covering the main flavour trends
• Two Sides of the Fence
– experiences as a supplier
and as a customer
Places on both workshops are limited
and only available to registered Bali
Conference delegates. The cost
for each workshop is a $200 for
IFEAT members and $275 for nonmembers.

FRAGRANCE AND FLAVOUR WORKSHOPS
Andrew Brown will explain the
evolution of this pioneering industry
from seed selection and host trees,
to the challenges of oil yields
and composition. Finally, he will
explore the new challenges and
opportunities that future harvests
pose, creating new possibilities in
product development to treat skin
conditions, support the mind and
body, and enhance flavours and
fragrance.
• Specific Flavours
– tying descriptors in to the
main flavour categories
• Strawberry Flavour
– a more challenging
practical team exercise
• Regulatory Issues
– covering important recent
developments
• Flavourists Then and Now
– how the craft has changed
and continues to change
*Please note, the workshops are equivalent to one
day but are split into two half days. Participants on
the Fragrance Workshop are required to attend both
Wednesday and Thursday mornings and participants
on the Flavour Workshop are required to attend both
Wednesday and Thursday afternoons.

FLAVOURIST TRAINING COURSE
at Reading
ICATS FRAGRANCE WORKSHOP
at IFEAT 2018 Cartagena Conference
EDUCATION ROUNDUP
READING FLAVOURIST TRAINING COURSE
ICATS UPDATE
EDUCATION ROUNDUP
The seventeenth annual Flavourist
Training Course was held at the
University of Reading from 7th
to 24th May 2019, with twelve
participants from ten countries:
Brazil, France, Hungary, India, Mexico,
Portugal, South Africa, Thailand,
USA, and the UK. The course is
taught jointly by very experienced
flavourists, who are members of the
British Society of Flavourists, and
lecturers in Flavour Science at the
University of Reading and centres
on practical flavour creation in the
laboratory. It is primarily designed for
graduates working in the flavour or
food industries seeking to upgrade
their skills, and most participants
are sponsored by their companies.
The participants were all very
enthusiastic and highly motivated, as
well as being very sociable providing
a great learning environment. This
year we had the largest number of
different nationalities on the course
ever and this reflects the world-wide
appeal of this unique course. The
popularity of the course is helped
significantly by the publicity provided
by IFEAT at the annual conference
and through its publications. For the
fifth year in succession, the course
was oversubscribed and applicants
who could not be offered places
have already reserved places on
the 2020 course. This will be held
from 5th to 22nd May 2020. Since
the course has filled quickly in
recent years, early application is
recommended. More information can
be found at: www.reading.ac.uk/
food/shortcourses
LUCY TURNER
Reading Flavourist Course
Best Student
“I am a second year PhD student
from the Department of Food and
Nutritional Sciences at the University
of Reading looking at “Linking
biochemistry and genetics in celery
to taste and flavour perceived by
the consumer, creating a more
acceptable product”. I had obtained
a BSc in Nutrition and Food Science
at Reading, but it was only when I
started doing my PhD that my eyes
were opened up to the world of
flavour and flavour perception. At
the University, I have an active role in
the Sensory Science group, helping
with teaching practical classes to
undergraduates and MSc students
and running professional sensory
panels for my celery samples.
Chosen by my supervisor to partake
in the BSF 2019 Flavourist Course,
I was nervous about my lack of
experience compared with the rest
of the delegates. However, it was
clear from the first day that the next
three weeks were going to be fun
and interesting. During the three
weeks, we evaluated over 150 flavour
chemicals and essential oils, learned
about flavour legislation, created
seasonings for potato crisps, and
prepared reaction product flavours
using different amino acids and
sugars. At the end of the course, we
created two flavourings of our own
choice. I made a rhubarb and custard
flavour presented in a jelly, and a
mojito flavour presented in rum. I
will take much that I learned from
the course and apply it to my PhD,
from structure - activity relationships
and the properties of a wide range
of essential oils - to flavour creation.
Every single speaker throughout the
course spoke with such passion and
enthusiasm about their topic, leaving
me with aspirations of pursuing a
career in the flavour industry once
my PhD is completed. I have clearly
caught the flavouring bug and I am
so thankful for this opportunity.”
In the 10 years since the new IFEAT/
ICATS (International Centre for Aroma
Trades Studies) Diploma programme
was launched at the IFEAT Montreal
Conference, participants have come
from some 28 countries. Recent firsttime
countries have included the
United Arab Emirates, Haiti, Romania,
Slovenia, Switzerland and Malta,
while support continues from North
America, China, India and many EU
countries. The success of the Flavour
pathway is highlighted by our IFEAT/
ICATS Aroma Trades Studies ‘Best
Student 2019’ who elected to take
this option.
The IFEAT Education Committee
vision of a programme written by the
industry for the industry continues.
The material is written and updated
by industry professionals with
recognised international academic
excellence, such as John Ayres,
John Wright, Dr Charles Sell, Deirdre
Makepeace and Dr Tony Curtis.
Not all people need or want
the full Diploma and now many
participants take selected modules
in a Continuing Professional
Development mode. The open
learning format allows participants
to manage their learning around
business commitments. The
industry orientation provides an
ideal ingredient to in-house training,
providing cost-effective staff
development in a complex and
competitive world.
ICATS will have an exhibition stand
at the IFEAT Bali Conference so
do visit them to discuss what your
company needs to meet current and
future CPD requirements.
HARLEM SOBRINO
PAREDES
ICATS Best Student
After finishing her studies on food
engineering, Harlem went to work
for Pernod Ricard in the quality
assurance department for tequila
production. In 2013 Harlem decided
to change paths and moved to
Germany to work for Döhler as a
New Product Developer for the
beverage industry. This new job
gave her a new fascination for the
chemicals that enrich our food with
flavours, which ultimately led her to
look for possibilities to focus on her
career as a flavourist.
“ICATS studies not only matched
my wishes for further academic
and professional development
but got me into the thrilling world
of flavour creation. The working
material of the programme directly
addresses the complex challenges
in the flavour industry while each
student is supported by a tutor with
great professional experience. In
my work at Döhler as a flavourist, I
am now able to relate my acquired
knowledge to the actual demands
of customers, looking to always offer
them the best suitable, sustainable
and ethical options for their
businesses”.
