Abstract
From the first generation of Maillard reaction over 100 years ago and its foundation in the flavour industry as commercial use in the 1960s, utilising hydrolysed vegetable proteins, until today. We examine the progression into technology and creativity to differentiate process flavours and what might be next?

The lecture and award medallion is given every year in memory of William (Bill) Rowe Littlejohn (1907-1970) to commemorate his life and his work in the flavour industry. He was instrumental in the formation of the British Society of Flavourists, as he believed that flavourists needed a society that promoted the art and science of their profession.
