佰锡（亚洲）有限公司的合伙人王亮女士（Ashley Liang Wang）的文章《Flavourings and Flavourings with Modifying Properties (FMPs)》被收录在最新一期《New Flavourist Winter 2025》。该文章详细分析了全球多个国家关于FMP（Flavourings with Modifying Properties）法规现状，重点探讨了欧洲及FEMA在定义FMP和相关概念时的技术性要求。
(Ashley Liang Wang, Partner at BYSEE (Asia) Co., Ltd., contributed the article “Flavourings and Flavourings with Modifying Properties (FMPs)” to the latest edition of New Flavourist Winter 2025. The article offers an in-depth analysis of the regulatory landscape surrounding FMPs (Flavourings with Modifying Properties) globally, with a particular focus on the technical definitions set by the EU and FEMA.)
该文章详细引用了2014年5月27日欧盟发布的《Guidance notes on the classification of a flavouring substance with modifying properties and a flavour enhancer》，明确指出：
“The term ‘flavouring substance with modifying properties’ has not been defined in the Regulation but can be interpreted to mean those flavouring substances which modify odour and/or taste of the food.”
(The article references the May 27, 2014, European Commission Guidance Notes on the classification of a flavouring substance with modifying properties and a flavour enhancer, which clarifies that the term ‘flavouring substance with modifying properties’ has not been explicitly defined but can be interpreted as those substances that modify the odour and/or taste of food.)
此外，文章还引用了2013年11月由Christie L. Harman、John B. Hallagan及FEMA科学委员会感官数据工作组发布的《Sensory Testing for Flavorings with Modifying Properties》研究，指出：
“Flavorings with modifying properties (FMPs) are widely used by the flavour industry to modify the flavor profile of both the flavouring and the food to which it is added.”
(The article also cites the November 2013 study “Sensory Testing for Flavorings with Modifying Properties” by Christie L. Harman, John B. Hallagan, and the FEMA Science Committee Sensory Data Task Force, which states that FMPs are widely used by the flavour industry to alter the flavour profile of both the flavouring and the food to which it is added.)
通过对日本、韩国、泰国、新加坡、澳大利亚、中国及印度的相关法规进行系统分析，文章得出结论：
(By systematically analyzing the regulations in Japan, Korea, Thailand, Singapore, Australia, China, and India, the article concludes that:)
与欧盟和FEMA明确界定的FMP术语不同，大多数亚太地区（APAC）市场未在法规中明确提及这一术语。相反，这些市场通常将“修饰”概念纳入食品香精的一般定义中，间接承认了香精的修饰功能作为其关键技术作用。
(Unlike the EU and FEMA, which provide clear definitions for FMPs, most Asia-Pacific (APAC) markets do not explicitly mention this term in their regulations. Instead, the concept of “modifying” is often embedded within the general definition of food flavourings, implicitly recognizing flavour modification as a key technical function.)
综上所述，虽然亚太地区市场的法规中没有专门列出FMP概念，但这些地区的香精定义可与欧盟和FEMA框架下的FMP概念具有一定程度的共性。
(In summary, although the APAC regulations do not explicitly define the FMP concept, the flavouring definitions adopted in these regions share certain commonalities with the FMP concept as outlined in the EU and FEMA frameworks.)
