親愛的珍，我跟瑪格說妳要上來台北，瑪格也跟我說妳有跟她提過。只是只聞樓梯響不見人下來，從端午過後已經將近兩個月了。我們看的日劇也已經多到不行了。

最重要的是，妳還要不要「咻」上來呢？

我喜歡茉莉的味道。 ^^

而且茉莉也是其中一種可以驅蚊的植物﹐味道又芳香﹐真是不可多得。 ^^

Hi, It's interesting to read this article of yours.

I happen to be a food technologist so I constantly work with flavors.

All our customers will not accept "artificial flavors". The reason is very simple - artificially flavors are not natural and they are likely to cause more reactions -  being allergic or being toxic. Natural flavours (or aroma, colors) are derived from natural materials and they are more likely to be recognized so they could be metabalized by human bodies.

A lot of people experienced headache and other discomforts after using artificial aromas. It probably explained why.

Nowaway, scientists have developed so called "natural identical flavors (or aroma)". In theory, it's still artifically made, but this kind of materials have similar structures to natural materials and human body cannot tell they are artificial, which is safer to use.

Of course the costs of them are very different. Artificial ones are cheaper but have a longer lasting quality. Personally I wouldn't like to use artificial flavors because I think no one should risk their health for cheapies. In reality, I understand it will come to individuals' affordability.

Cheers

真的很好聞~

我早晚都外服~

連我們家BB 也很愛~

她都要塗很多下~

她都叫 那個香香呢~~

兒時唱著清新曲調的茉莉花就只是一首童謠; 出國後第一次聽到茉莉花曲調竟感動得掉淚，因為她藏身在世界名曲-Puccini 普契尼-Turandot 杜蘭朵 -Non piangere, Liù 柳兒別哭 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v9pusxyUU70，每次聽到曲尾那三聲銅鑼，接著響起茉莉花的音樂，感動啊!!!

再者，茉莉花是兒時開在花園裡的香花之一，好喜歡她的味道和清純的模樣，有一回在精油店看到中國來的茉莉花精油5ml，貴喔! 趕緊將小瓶子再擺回去放好，別肖想了。
