The Florida Citrus Flavor Industry 1900 2000

Within the 100 years between 1900 - 2000, the world's citrus flavor production coalesced into a vibrant high-tech industry centered in Central Florida. The industry started within the context of Florida's orange juice concentrate industry, developed through the efforts of Floridian entrepreneurs, and quickly grew into an international business drawing in expertise from the worldwide Flavor & Fragrance industry. In this book, Dr. Kryger sets out to document the history of this niche Florida industry, which produces much of the world's natural citrus flavoring products. Leveraging his technical expertise, family history, and access to industry leaders, in addition to a broad range of public and private records, Kryger details how and why this tight-knit, unassuming industry successfully developed in Florida, identifying the key people and circumstances responsible for its success.
