The provided JSON configuration outlines a detailed prompt for generating a comprehensive entry for a flavor and fragrance material, specifically castalin (CAS: 19086-75-0), for FlavScents.com. This prompt is designed for a technical research assistant and includes specific instructions on how to structure the entry, what information to include, and how to ensure the quality and accuracy of the content.
Key Elements of the Prompt:
-
Material Type Handling:
- The prompt distinguishes between single chemical compounds and complex natural materials, providing specific instructions for each type. For single compounds like castalin, the focus is on chemical identity and sensory profile, while complex materials require a discussion of key constituents and variability.
-
Depth Requirement:
- Each section must be substantively filled, with a target word count for single compounds (900-1400 words) and complex materials (1100-1700 words). Missing data should be acknowledged, and best-practice guidance should be provided.
-
Output Format:
- The entry should be structured with numbered headings, each followed by a "Citation hooks:" line indicating sources to consult. This ensures that the entry is well-researched and properly referenced.
-
Sections to Include:
- Identity & Chemical Information: Details about the compound's identity, including common names, IUPAC name, CAS number, and other identifiers.
- Sensory Profile: Descriptions of odor and flavor characteristics, including thresholds and typical sensory roles.
- Natural Occurrence & Formation: Information on natural sources and formation pathways.
- Use in Flavors and Fragrances: Applications, functional roles, typical use levels, and stability considerations.
- Regulatory Status: Overview of regulatory treatment in different regions.
- Toxicology, Safety & Exposure Considerations: Safety profiles for different exposure routes.
- Practical Insights for Formulators: Expert insights on formulation practices.
- Confidence & Data Quality Notes: Summary of data quality and gaps.
- QA Check: A checklist to ensure all sections are present and requirements are met.
-
Quality Assurance:
- A QA Check section is mandatory to confirm that all sections are included, citation hooks are present, and specific requirements (like ppm ranges and exposure routes) are addressed.
This structured approach ensures that the entry is comprehensive, technically accurate, and useful for professionals in the flavor and fragrance industry.
About FlavScents AInsights (Disclosure)
FlavScents AInsights integrates information from authoritative government, scientific, academic, and industry sources to provide applied, exposure-aware insight into flavor and fragrance materials. Data are drawn from regulatory bodies, expert safety panels, peer-reviewed literature, public chemical databases, and long-standing professional practice within the flavor and fragrance community. Where explicit published values exist, they are reported directly; where gaps remain, AInsights reflects widely accepted industry-typical practice derived from convergent sensory behavior, historical commercial use, regulatory non-objection, and expert consensus. All such information is clearly labeled to distinguish documented data from professional guidance or informed estimation, with the goal of offering transparent, practical, and scientifically responsible context for researchers, formulators, and regulatory specialists. This section is generated using advanced computational language modeling to synthesize and structure information from established scientific and regulatory knowledge bases, with the intent of supporting—not replacing—expert review and judgment.
