Cresols as Components of Aroma Chemicals and Food Products

INDUSTRIAL CRESOLS AS COMPONENTS OF AROMA CHEMICALS AND FOOD PRODUCTS 

Easy availability of pure p-cresol, o-cresol, and m-cresol particularly in the developed countries of USA, UK, Germany, France, Switzerland, Japan, and even in China and India led to development and commercialization of a large number of cresol derivatives. These have been discussed in details vide Chapters 5-7. 

Gradually, pure cresols and many of their derivatives proved to be very attractive as components of flavors, fragrances, and even as food additives. Briefly, these have been also discussed while talking about very properties and applications of the derivatives in those chapters. Here, a summary is presented for the interested readers.
