1. Process for preparing a volatile component or mixture of components, said process comprising heating a mixture containing reactants as herein defined, said heating being performed under N different processing parameters wherein one or more of the N processing parameters and/or one or more of the reactants to choose for obtaining the desired volatile component are derivable from a relationship between:

  • sensorical data obtainable from analysing reaction products of actual experiments, volatile reaction products and their composition, processing parameters, reactants, said composition being obtainable;

    (a) from an actual mass distribution obtainable from performing at least 100 (preferably at least

         1000) reactions involving heating reactants under predetermined and known processing parameters, analysing the volatile fraction of the reaction product obtained from each of the reactions above to provide composition analyses thereof, encoding it as a mass distribution, and/or (b) simulation of complex chemical reaction pathways involving the simulation of reacting reactants under predetermined and specified processing parameters.
