The provided JSON configuration outlines a detailed prompt for generating a comprehensive entry on a flavor and fragrance material, specifically hop oil, for FlavScents.com. The prompt is designed for a technical research assistant and emphasizes clarity, accuracy, and relevance to formulation and safety contexts. Below is a breakdown of the key components and requirements of the prompt:

Key Components:

1. Material Type Handling:

   • If the material is a single compound, standard chemical information is required.
   • If it's a complex natural material (like hop oil), it should be treated as a mixture with a focus on its source and typical constituents.

2. Depth Requirement:

   • Each section must be substantive, with a target word count for complex materials between 1100-1700 words.
   • Missing data should be acknowledged, and best-practice guidance should be provided.

3. Output Format:

   • The entry should be structured with numbered headings and include a "Citation hooks:" line for each section, indicating sources to consult.

Sections to Include:

1. Identity & Chemical Information:

   • Common names, CAS number, and other identifiers.
   • For complex materials, describe the material type and source.

2. Sensory Profile:

   • Odor and flavor descriptors, thresholds, and sensory roles.

3. Natural Occurrence & Formation:

   • Natural sources and formation pathways.

4. Use in Flavors:

   • Flavor categories, applications, and typical use levels in ppm.

5. Use in Fragrances:

   • Fragrance families, roles, and concentration ranges.

6. Key Constituents (Typical):

   • List major constituents for complex materials, noting variability.

7. Regulatory Status (Regional Overview):

   • Summarize regulatory treatment in various regions.

8. Toxicology, Safety & Exposure Considerations:

   • Discuss safety in terms of oral, dermal, and inhalation exposure.

9. Practical Insights for Formulators:

   • Provide expert insights on the material's value and common pitfalls.

10. Confidence & Data Quality Notes:

    • Summarize data quality and known gaps.

11. QA Check:

    • Confirm all sections are present and requirements are met.

Style & Constraints:

• The writing should be for experienced professionals, avoiding marketing language and focusing on interpretive insights.

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.
