Normal root cultures of Capsicum frutescens biotransform externally fed precursors, like caffeic acid and veratraldehyde, to vanillin and other related metabolites. The bioconversion of caffeic acid to further metabolites--viz. vanillin, vanillylamine, vanillic acid--was shown to be elicited by treating the

Fragrance Regulations and Requirements: What You Need to Know

Recent regulatory changes in the US and EU have put the focus on fragrance safety and ingredient transparency, including the MoCRA, to be implemented within the next two years. Manufacturers and suppliers must comply with these changes to ensure they are meeting consumer demand and industry expectations for safety.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
