FLAVOR IS ONE OF THE KEY ATTRIBUTES in determining food payabil­ ity. The chemistry of food aromas has been studied intensively for the past 50 years. Much research has been focused on the analytical, syn­ thetic, and organic chemistry of flavors. Very little work has been devoted to applying physical chemistry in understanding the phenomenon of flavor formation in the preparation of flavor products. The purpose of this book is to bring together aspects of aroma research covering reaction kinetics, modeling, physical phenomena associ­ ated with flavor emulsion and encapsulation, and the effect of processing and storage on flavor. The purpose of the symposium on which this book is based was to bring together researchers from academia and industry to present their latest findings and to stimulate fellow scientists to partici­ pate in dialogues on current developments in the physical chemistry of food flavors. We are indebted to the contributing authors for their worthy contri­ butions. Without their dedication, expertise, and hard work, timely publi­ cation of this book would not have been possible.
