Abstract
This review aims to discover biotechnological strategies applicable to both natural and synthetic fragrances for enhancing longevity and sustainability, addressing the challenge of limited scent duration in personal care products. A comprehensive literature review was conducted, analysing advancements in bio-based substances, enzymatic technologies, nanotechnology, microbial biosynthesis, microencapsulation, and genetic engineering. Key findings consist of the use of biodegradable polymers (e.g., alginate, polylactic acid) for sustained perfume launch, metagenomic enzymes (e.g., Est16, Lip-1420) for stabilising compounds, and CRISPR-based genetic engineering for greater terpenoid biosynthesis. Nanotechnology and microencapsulation shield high-risk compounds, while microbial methods offer scalable, eco-friendly production. Biotechnological innovations provide sustainable, high-performance answers for fragrance formulations, with promising implications for enterprises and environmentally conscious clients.
期刊介绍:
Flavour and Fragrance Journal publishes original research articles, reviews and special reports on all aspects of flavour and fragrance. Its high scientific standards and international character is ensured by a strict refereeing system and an editorial team representing the multidisciplinary expertise of our field of research. Because analysis is the matter of many submissions and supports the data used in many other domains, a special attention is placed on the quality of analytical techniques. All natural or synthetic products eliciting or influencing a sensory stimulus related to gustation or olfaction are eligible for publication in the Journal. Eligible as well are the techniques related to their preparation, characterization and safety. This notably involves analytical and sensory analysis, physical chemistry, modeling, microbiology – antimicrobial properties, biology, chemosensory perception and legislation.
The overall aim is to produce a journal of the highest quality which provides a scientific forum for academia as well as for industry on all aspects of flavors, fragrances and related materials, and which is valued by readers and contributors alike.
