How is Catalysis Applied in Flavors and Fragrances Production?
Catalysis plays a crucial role in the synthesis of flavors and fragrances by accelerating chemical reactions without being consumed. There are two main types of catalysis used: homogeneous catalysis and heterogeneous catalysis. Homogeneous catalysts are in the same phase as the reactants, usually liquid, while heterogeneous catalysts exist in a different phase, typically solid.
