What are the Challenges in Catalysis for Flavors and Fragrances?
Despite its benefits, catalysis in the production of flavors and fragrances faces several challenges: - Catalyst Deactivation: Over time, catalysts may lose their activity due to poisoning, fouling, or sintering. - Separation Issues: In homogeneous catalysis, separating the catalyst from the product can be challenging. - Cost: Some catalysts, especially those involving precious metals, can be expensive.
