Senomyx & Firmenich Amend Their Sweet Taste Program Agreement - April 11, 2013 - Senomyx and Firmenich announced that the companies have amended and restated their Sweet Taste Program collaboration agreement. The amended agreement provides that Firmenich will have exclusive rights to commercialize certain Senomyx sweet flavor ingredients discovered under the collaboration in food and select beverage product categories for a period of time. After this initial period, Senomyx will begin selling the flavor ingredients to other flavor companies while Firmenich continues sales to food and beverage companies. Senomyx’s initiation of its new direct sales strategy is intended to accelerate the Company’s transformation into a profitable company by expanding its focus from discovery & development into commercialization. Senomyx’s flavor ingredient portfolio will initially focus on sweet flavor modifiers, which can be used to restore the desired taste profile of products in which sucrose has been reduced. The first product will be S9632, which Senomyx intends to sell to flavor companies for end-use in non-alcoholic and powdered beverages, with the anticipated availability of commercial quantities of S9632 by the fourth quarter of 2013. The sweet flavor modifier S6973 will become available for sale by Senomyx for use in food and certain beverage categories at a future date. In addition, Senomyx may also decide in the future to directly commercialize other flavor ingredients to expand its portfolio and further support the direct sales strategy. Concurrent with the amendment, Senomyx and Firmenich have also entered into a Supply Agreement under which Firmenich has agreed to supply Senomyx with commercial quantities of certain sweet flavor ingredients. The Supply Agreement has a term of ten years, and is exclusive through 2017. This relationship streamlines and accelerates the launch of Senomyx’s direct sales strategy, without the Company having to incur the cost of sourcing and establishing manufacturing capabilities at this time.

 His latest book takes the reader on a journey through
many biodiversity hotspots, all of them home to endangered
plant species. Roman Kaiser has worked for over ten years
collecting and investigating the scent of around 500
endangered plant species worldwide, of which 267 are
described in 'Scent of the Vanishing Flora'. The book starts
with an introductory section sharing some research and
concerns about the loss of biodiversity and extinction of
key species around the world. Dr. Kaiser continues by
presenting scented species of the Vanishing Flora
encountered during his fascinating expeditions to such
exotic places as the Hawaiian Islands, the Cape Floral

European Alps. The book concludes with a description of the
iconic family of the Vanishing Flora, Orchidaceae, and
summarises the analytical compositions of the presented
scents.
