Alain Frix was elected Chairman of IFEAT at the Annual General Meeting held on Tuesday1st October in San Francisco. He takes over from Ramon Bordas. Alain is based in Brusselsand is responsible for sales and marketing in Europe, the Middle East, Africa and India atRenessenz.

It is an honour and a privilege to Chair the IFEAT Executive Committee. Our more than 500members come from many different countries; we are all driven by the same passion: our unique,incomparable, complex, relatively small and beautiful industry.

As we all know, the complexity of our industry is not always well understood; the increasing pressuresto standardise the vast range of products whose origins and supply chains are so varied around theworld, as well as misguided attitudes towards chemical products, pose fundamental challenges. IFEATis committed to address these challenges, and to contribute towards several specific projects tosupport our industry.

For decades we have been very active in educational activities, sponsoring courses and students attwo universities. We will continue to invest in education, study tours and conferences and we aremaking substantial efforts to develop scientific research programmes, whose aim is to support ourcommitment to the safe use of essential oils in the flavour and fragrance trades.

Also, IFEAT is financing a Socio-Economic Impact Study, with the good intent of explaining to the“outside world” the economic and social value of twelve selected natural ingredients. This illustrativework is vital as it is not always obvious to the final consumer and legislators how many invisibleactors and families rely on the market for these precious materials for their livelihoods.

My goal is to continue the excellent work done by my predecessors, and to contribute as much aspossible to this fascinating and ever-changing industry, which provides so much to the well-being ofmany billions of people worldwide.

Alain FrixChairman, IFEAT Executive Committee

The 2013 IFEAT Conference held in San Francisco from29th September to 3rd October was highly successfulfor everyone concerned. A stunning location and greatweather were the perfect backdrop for a packedconference programme and many other activitiesorganised over the course of the week. A conferencereport and photos can be found on pages 4 and 5, anda full report and presentations will be available shortlyon the IFEAT website.

Our sincere thanks go to Colin Ringleib and theLocal Organising Committee in San Francisco who gaveso much of their time to make sure this year’s IFEATConference was such a resounding success.

Comment from Ramon Bordas, Chairman ofIFEAT, on presenting Richard with his award:“Richard is truly the “lion hearted”. It is not anoverstatement to say that in whatever boardroomhe has graced, all those present have been awareof his thoughts and opinions. It is just as fair tosay that he is principled, ethical and trustworthy. Ialso think it is important to note that Richard hasalways been an optimist. In this age of so manychallenges to our industry, he has always maintainedthat we all work in the best industry in the world.It is nice to remember that as often as possible.”

Dr Wladyslaw BrudDr Brud joined Pollena-Aroma (Flavours andFragrances) in 1967. He was promoted to

Chief Executive Officer in 1988 and thenCompany President in 1991. After formalretirement in 2009 he remains the principalshareholder and Board Advisor. Hiscontribution to science is wide-ranging andincludes authorship of over 300 papers andpatents, plus co-authorship of four books onaromatherapy and perfumery. He is a lecturerat Warsaw Technical University and is a Memberof the Polish Chemical Society, the Board of thePolish Society of Cosmetic Chemists, the PolishAromatherapy Association and the PolishStandardisation Committee as well as the

Business Centre Club. He is a member of theISO TC-54 Technical Committee, the DeutscheGesellschaft für Kosmetologie, SEPAWA and theEuropean Chemoreception Research Organisation.

Comment from Dr Brud to IFEATWORLD onhis award:“This award is most honourable and important inmy professional career. Its special value for me isthat it is presented with the name of Ronald Neal,IFEAT founder, my mentor and friend since ourfirst meeting in Kyoto in 1977.”

This year’s Conferencefield trip was to theGilroy area, about 100 km south of SanFrancisco. It wasorganised by SheilaLinderman, a well-known consultant inthe organic industry.Participants visited twoorganic farms in thearea. The first one,

owned by Peter van Dyke, grows apricots and other stone fruits. Peterdiscussed the careful management required of apricot trees toproduce top quality fruit and explained how working with nature, suchas using certain weeds and insects, can help to protect the fruitthrough the growing season. There are certain “critical” periods in the

production of apricots when weather conditions can affect yields andquality very significantly.

The second farm, owned by Steve Garrett, grows soft fruit, principallyorganic blackberries which are supplied to the largest berry shipper inthe world. The berries are grown under contract, and the buyer is verystrict with regard to quality control (size, sugar content, colour etc).Multiple varieties are used to extend the growing season and berriesare now produced for up to seven months of the year.

While both farms operated in a very different manner, the workinvolved in organic fruit production was clear to see, as well as thehuge risks involved during the production cycle. Furthermore therewere costs involved in organic certification, and increasinglycomplicated legislative requirements; one of the ranch managerspointed out that US law on organic production now extends toaround 600 pages!

Founder’s Awards presented to Richard Pisano Sr and Dr Wladyslaw BrudTwo Founder’s Awards were presented at this year’s IFEAT Conference. Richard Pisano Sr and Dr WladyslawBrud have both been associated with IFEAT since its inception in 1977 and both have served as Chairman and President.

Administrative Changes at IFEAT

The Fairmont Hotel, high on Nob Hill overlookingthe magnificent San Francisco City and Bay, was thelocation this year for another very successful IFEATConference. Delegate numbers continue to grow,reaching a record 1,038 from almost 50 countries,illustrating the true global nature of IFEAT’s activities.In addition, there were 94 accompanying persons anda number of day delegates. Presentations during theweek were made in the Fairmont’s Venetian Room,where Tony Bennett first sang, “I left my heart in SanFrancisco”. Following an excellent programme of

activities and entertainment,accompanied by glorious weather,many delegates probably also lefttheir hearts there as well!

Following weekend registration,the evening of Sunday 29thSeptember saw the WelcomeReception “Street Party” onMason Street in front of theFairmont Hotel, which hadbeen closed for theoccasion. Delegates andtheir guests were able to

mingle and welcome oneanother whilst enjoying drinks, canapés

and entertainment.

On Monday morningthe conference wasopened by ColinRingleib, Chair of theIFEAT San FranciscoConference.“Sustainable Growth”was this year’sConference themereflecting an increasinglyimportant subject in theF&F industry. Some 30presentations, many

including videos, were made over three days coveringa wide variety of topics. The first presentationprovided a wide-ranging review of what“sustainability” might include, while another dozenpresenters incorporated “sustainability” issues intotheir presentations that covered a number of

essential oils, aroma chemicals andcountries. The emphasis was onessential oils from the Americas,including mint and citrus oils, aswell as developments in Braziland Mexico. Otherpresentations coveredsandalwood from Australia andthe Pacific Rim, menthol fromIndia and Peru balsam from ElSalvador. The work that IFRAand IFEAT are doing on thesustainability of naturals wasalso presented.

Aroma chemical developments were analysed inpapers on “green chemistry”, China’s aroma chemicalsector and IP issues in China. Other presentationscovered a possible new trading contract for essentialoils and aroma chemicals, the shipping of hazardousmaterials, a detailed analysis of US aromatherapytrends and a “breaking news” presentation ondevelopments in understanding the mechanisms ofsmell and the commercial implications of thesedevelopments. The closing session concentrated onregulatory and legislative developments in NorthAmerica and Asia – and was followed by a livelydiscussion panel.

Following the IFEAT AGM on Tuesday, IFEAT’s retiringChairman provided a review of the past year’sactivities, followed by reports on the Plymouthperfumery and Reading flavour courses, the successfulSouth India Study Tour, the forthcoming 2014 IFEATConference in Rome and next year’s Study Tour inChina. The IFEAT Medal was awarded to SteveManheimer whose fascinating lecture reviewed the“game changers” in the F&F industry that had takenplace since 1974, when he attended the InternationalEssential Oils Congress at the Fairmont Hotel, asPresident of the US Essential Oil Association.

The IFEAT Dinner on Tuesday night was one of thebest ever. It was held on the aircraft carrier USSHornet, which is now a museum and delegates wereable to wander about the ship looking at thefascinating exhibits. Cocktails were served on theflight deck as the sun set over San Francisco and theGolden Gate Bridge. It was a spectacular eveningmany will never forget.

On Wednesday 2nd October, four events wereorganised. Following on from the success from the2012 conference in Singapore, a one-day tradeexhibition was held at which 30 companies displayedtheir products and services. There were two industryshort courses: “The Science of Essential Oils” run byDr. Brian Lawrence and “International ShippingConsiderations for Hazardous Materials” run by TomCook of ARI. Both courses proved popular and werevery much appreciated by the participants. A fieldtrip to Gilroy was also held on the Wednesday withvisits to two organic farms followed by lunch at asmall vineyard in the middle of the harvest season(page 3). A new initiative took place during the lunchbreak on Thursday, when an informal but verysuccessful forum was held allowing delegates toexchange views on “Distillation” (page 8).

The conference ended with the final dinner, the“Closing Banquet” which was held in the Fairmont’sGrand Ballroom. At the Banquet, Founder’s Awardswere presented to Dr Wladek Brud and RichardPisano who have been loyal servants of IFEAT overthe past four decades. Presentations made during theConference will be available to members fordownloading shortly from the IFEAT website.

With theoverwhelmingreliance we nowplace on email toconduct business,it’s no surprisethat email and

internet-basedbusiness fraud has

become a majorconcern.

We all know the advantages of transactingbusiness through email – speed ofresponse, a living record of ourconversations, and the ability to quickly andeasily span geographic barriers and timezones. But these advantages may comewith an unforeseen cost without solidcontrols over how we utilize email inconveying valuable business information,especially when dealing internationally. The 2012 Norton Cybercrime Reportestimates that yearly global cash losses forall types of cybercrime now exceed $100Billion per year. These types of lossesencompass much more than email fraud,but do present a shocking view of thescope of overall cybercrime, and thechallenge we face every day in carrying outnormal business.

When talking about email-based businessfraud, the basic risk arises from thefollowing simple question: “How do youreally know who you are talking to?”

Cases abound of companies beingdefrauded by hackers who work their wayinto a stream of email communications,masquerading as a counterparty andproviding fraudulent banking instructionsor accessing private information. Forexample, unaware that the shipping andpayment information emailed by a foreignvendor did not actually come from thevendor, importers have wired funds toaccounts set up by the hackers in majorfinancial institutions, only to find the fundsdrained, and the actual vendor still awaitingpayment for otherwise legitimateshipments. Perpetrators can arise eitherwithin or outside of hacked companies.Hacked communication streams can persistfor months, with the hacker skillfullyintercepting and adjusting information flowas a precursor to eventual financial fraud.Email or internet fraud can occur despitethe application of otherwise strong levels

of diligence on the part of the targetedcompanies. Victimized companiesmay take steps to only deal withestablished vendors, to holdpre-meetings in person, andto work only throughmajor financialinstitutions. But skillfulimitation in emails andhacked websites,language barriers, andother complexities oftrade can make it easierfor fraud to occur.

So what steps shouldevery company take toavoid these scenarios? The risk may be new, but thedefenses are not.

1) Never rely solely on email whendealing with bank account instructions.Even with “known” counterparties, it canbe very difficult to discern when theperson on the other end of the email turnsout to be a hacker. Require writtenconfirmation on company letterhead withofficial Chinese “chops” (seals) andsignatures to be sent via a traceableexpress mail service. Conduct in-personcommunication, careful over-the-phoneconversations, or videoconferencing toensure banking instructions are legitimate.

2) Utilize bank documentary collectionservices to link cash movements with therelease of bills of lading and other customsdocuments. Terms such as CAD can helpaddress this issue. Or utilize a moreexpensive but potentially less riskyapproach based on Letters of Credit.

3) Utilize Positive Pay services to protectyour checking accounts against fraudulentcheck and ACH (Automated ClearingHouse) transactions.

4) Take a careful look at the language inyour crime insurance policy. Some carrierswill offer extensions for cyber fraud, butthe coverage terms can be very limited, andthe facts surrounding the fraud may or maynot trigger your coverage.

5) Meet with company personnel toexplain the issue and heighten awareness ofthis type of fraud. And remember that thisknowledge needs to go beyond the finance

staff. Certainly those with treasury,accounts payable, and controllershipresponsibilities are key, but just asimportant are the staff members workingin purchasing, logistics, or other outward-facing functions.

6) Finally, don’t be afraid to slow downunusual transactions to allow for diligentconfirmation. The daily pressures andurgencies of business always seem todemand quick response, and the lightningspeed and seeming legitimacy of emailcommunications makes it all too easy forhackers to take advantage.

The pace of business will continue toincrease, and electronic communicationsare a great tool to provide an efficient flowof information across our shrinking worldmarketplace. Just be sure to apply somebasic techniques to protect your companyagainst the risk that is inherent in our dailyemail communications.

T R A D EN E W S

Brian Lawrence presented a day-long short course entitled“The Science of Essential Oils” at the annual IFEATConference in San Francisco.

The day started with a section on the evolution of names for theplants from which oils are obtained. This generated a number ofcomments particularly relating to the use of common names andthe incorporation of the botanist's name after the genus andspecies to ensure unambiguous nomenclature (i.e. Mentha gracilisSole, for Scotch spearmint). Also, it was shown that the importanceof knowing the type of essential oil glands and ducts that are genusspecific drastically influences the oil isolation process choice.

Lengthy discussions were held on the effect of intrinsic andextrinsic conditions on the composition of different essential oils.This led to some animated exchanges on the existence of oilstandardisation and adulteration along with the various analyticalmethodologies used to determine whether an oil was authentic toits species and geographical origin. Some of the group hadencountered situations in which a purchased oil appeared to bedifferent to that which they normally obtained. This resulted in thesharing of a few stories and anecdotes.

At the end of the afternoon each participant received a smallpackage containing some useful information and data including a listof the volumes of the top twenty essential oils (see below).

Essential oils short course At the San Francisco IFEAT conference a new activity, a“Distillation Forum”, was held on Thursday 3rd October.It seems to have been a well-received initiative and futureconferences will be looking to further expand this newprogramme element.

The forum grew from an informal discussion at the Moroccoconference between Csaba Fodor, Brian Lawrence and ColinRingleib. They felt that there was an opportunity to discuss moretopics related to distillation as the process is so critical to ourindustry.

Two topics were offered during the forum which was attended byabout 100 people. They both began with about 10 minutes ofoverview followed by an opening of the topic to the audience forquestions and comments. Brian Lawrence shared someperspectives on steam distillation of botanical materialsincluding packing of the still and particularly separator/receiverdesign. Rick Boucard shared a short presentation on the designof a semi-continuous process for distilling cedarwood oilwhich offered a number of improvements including yield increasesand savings in energy, time and operating costs. Both generatedgood discussion.

An informal poll was taken with raised hands. Almost everyoneagreed this forum had been useful and we should do somethingsimilar again in the future. About two thirds of the participants feltboth botanical distillation and folding/fractional distillation shouldbe covered in future sessions. About 20% felt they had a high levelof distillation expertise and 60-70% classified themselves asregularly involved in distillation technology. Only a few participantswere just curious for more information.
