The provided JSON configuration outlines a detailed prompt for generating a comprehensive entry for a flavor and fragrance material, specifically formyl ethyl tetramethyl tetralin (CAS: 58243-85-9), for FlavScents.com. The prompt is designed for a technical research assistant and emphasizes clarity, accuracy, and relevance in formulation and safety contexts. Here is a breakdown of the key components and requirements:
-
Identity & Chemical Information: This section requires detailed chemical information, including common names, IUPAC name, CAS number, and other identifiers. It also asks for a discussion on functional groups and structure-odor relevance.
-
Sensory Profile: This section should describe the material's odor and flavor characteristics, including intensity and typical sensory roles.
-
Natural Occurrence & Formation: Information on natural sources and formation pathways is needed, along with relevance to "natural flavor" or "natural fragrance" designations.
-
Use in Flavors: Details on flavor categories, functional roles, typical use levels in ppm, and stability considerations are required.
-
Use in Fragrances: This section should cover fragrance families, functional roles, concentration ranges, and volatility.
-
Regulatory Status (Regional Overview): A summary of regulatory treatment in various regions, including the US, EU, UK, Asia, and Latin America, is necessary.
-
Toxicology, Safety & Exposure Considerations: Discuss safety in terms of oral, dermal, and inhalation exposure, addressing differences between food and fragrance applications.
-
Practical Insights for Formulators: Provide expert insights on the material's value, synergies, common pitfalls, and usage trends.
-
Confidence & Data Quality Notes: Summarize well-established data, industry practices, and known data gaps.
-
QA Check: A checklist to ensure all sections are present, citation hooks are included, and specific requirements are met.
The prompt enforces a depth requirement, ensuring each section is substantively filled, and provides guidance on handling missing data. The output format is markdown, with a focus on interpretive insight over encyclopedic repetition.
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.
