New in version VCF 11.1.1 (July 2009)

In version VCF 11.1.1 the FEMA GRAS 24 list is added to the VCF data. Synonyms and FEMA numbers are synchronised with the existing data or added when not present. Due to different naming conventions, some redundancy remains.

Small changes are made in the Compounds detail module. The Index name —a remainder of the paper edition— is no longer displayed. The Group name is displayed after the synonyms.

New in version VCF 11.1 (April 2009)

The concept of Product Category is introduced. A product category is a combination of products which are related such as:

  • products belonging to the same family of plant products (for instance all citrus products)
  • products as part of the same plant material (like Caraway root, seed and herb) certain products which have undergone different processing steps (like raw, cooked and fried potatoes)
  • products produced from different raw materials (like cow milk and goat milk)

This offers the possibility to aggregate the data for all products within a product category. For instance, to aggregate all volatile compounds in all citrus products.

It is easy to switch between the products within a product category, due to new navigation possibilities.

Several new products are introduced, like Cashew Apple (fresh, juice and wine) and Cashew nuts (raw and roasted).

New in version VCF 10.1.1 (June 2008)

Disclaimer

The incorporation of the FEMA GRAS and EU-Flavis data in our VCF database resulted in several discrepancies. Sometimes due to different naming conventions, but also due to differences in CAS and FEMA assignments. We did our best to solve those discrepancies, but some remain.
