Another very important development was the production of citrus comminutes. These were produced by mixing together, in appropriate proportions, the juice, peel components and essential oils of citrus fruits and comminuting the mixture in a stone mill. The resulting product delivered a more intense flavour and cloud than could be obtained from juice alone and allowed the creation of whole fruit drinks , which have dominated the concentrates market in the United Kingdom over the past 40-50 years.

So why should it have been necessary to look any further towards the creation of different flavour types and the myriad of drink var ieties that has appealed over the years in beverage markets around the world Necessity, being the mother of invention, has been the driving force in all this. In the early years of the industry there was a real necessity for soft drinks manufacturers, in order to stay in business, to control a major threat to their trade, that of microbial fermentation and spoilage of the bottled product.

Decisive political factors such as the creation of free trade zones with single currencies and shared legislative guidelines offer promising prospects also for the flavour industry with its pronounced orientation towards further globalisation [16]. 

In the future an all-embracing understanding of sensory intelligence, sensory creation, sensory technology and sensory science will contribute to the success of the flavour and fragrance industry. Sensory expertise reveals today how much is still to discover and innovate in our industry [25].
