Still using the legacy book version of the Volatile Compounds in Food database?

Are you still using the book version of our database Volatile Compounds in Food (Editor Henk Maarse, edition 1996)? Or perhaps you are using the obsolete VCF 2000 version on CD.

Since 2002 our database is available on Internet at www.vcf-online.nl and now (2022) you are looking at version 16.8.

You may login on the VCF website as a guest for a demo. This demo version gives only a limited amount of information, with no quantitative details. Upon request we can give you a guest account with full functionality for a limited period.

VCF Online offers you abundant information about volatile compounds in food:

More than 880 products, with 140,000 occurrences of volatile compounds
Products are aggregated into product categories
