Abstract:
Preferred embodiments of the present invention provide for improved meat products and methods of producing such meat products by increased incorporation of healthy fats containing beneficial fatty acids such as stearidonic acid (SDA). Furthermore, various embodiments provide methods for producing such products, including steps such as reducing the saturated fat content through breeding and/or meat processing techniques. In some embodiments, the finished meat product has a higher fat content than the initial meat tissue with corresponding improvements to flavor and texture as well as improved health benefits for the consumer.
Abstract:
The present invention provides with a method for producing compositions with a chicken flavour. The compositions of the invention can be obtained by applying the following method: (a) preparing a mixture comprising at least one reducing carbohydrate and at least one amino acid; (b) keeping the mixture at a temperature sufficient for the reducing carbohydrate and amino acid to react with each other; (c) adding to the mixture a composition comprising arachidonic acid, whereby said arachidonic acid is esterified for at least 50% w/w, preferably at least 65% w/w, more preferably at least 80% w/w, most preferably at least 90% w/w to the glycerol moiety of a triglyceride; and (d) keeping the mixture at a temperature sufficient for the chicken flavour to develop; and possibly: (e) drying the composition under mild conditions. The use of an oil rich in arachidonic acid, whereby said arachidonic acid is esterified to the glycerol moiety of a triglyceride, confers an enhanced stability to the compositions obtained. A composition of the invention is stable at room temperature for at least one year.
Abstract:
The invention has an object of providing a method of the preparation of a sugar-like flavorous component which imparts a mellow feeling to beverages and flavorous compositions and retains a live flavor even if it is diluted thousands times. The method of the preparation of a sugar-like flavorous component includes steps of adding 1.5 to 3 parts by weight of ion exchange water and 0.02 to 0.05 parts by weight of ethanol to 1 part by weight of molasses in a feed tank, mixing and dissolving these components thoroughly with stirring, and introducing the resulting solution into a spinning cone column (SCC) to treat the solution in the following condition: the temperature in a column: 40 to 60° C., strip rate: 0.5 to 7% and the degree of pressure reduction: 70 to 100 kPa.
Abstract:
A precursor mixture of flavorings and a food composition containing the precursor mixture of flavorings. The precursor mixture of flavorings includes at least one polysulfide and at least one non-volatile source of sulfur having at lease one sulfhydryl group. The precursor mixture generates an aromatic note due to the formation of thiols when heated to provide a roasted or grilled flavor to the food composition.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to the production of flavoring compositions obtained by heating a spray or atomized droplets of a saturated or partially saturated vegetable oil to a temperature of at least 480° C. in an oxygen starved atmosphere in a fast pyrolysis reactor within 1.0 second. The process is further characterized in that the vegetable oil and the pyrolysis products produced from the vegetable oil are maintained at over 480° C. for a period of time less than one second, and rapidly quenched, within 0.1 second, and the resulting liquid extract is separated and collected. The flavor compositions of this invention are further characterized in that they comprise a unique composition of flavor notes, and exhibit a full rich flavor complement. These flavor compositions are suitable for use as a food additive in order to enhance or provide food flavoring.

Abstract:
A process for preparing a savory flavor, the process comprising reacting a compound of general formula X with hydrogen sulphide and/or cystein, wherein ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 represents an alkyl group having 1 or 2 carbon atoms or hydrogen, R.sup.2 represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or hydrogen, R.sup.3 represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 5 carbon atoms or hydrogen and R.sup.4 represents hydrogen or an organic radical consisting of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, hydrogen and from 0 to 2 oxygen atoms. X is preferably 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-2-(2-hydroxy-3-oxo-2-butyl)-3(2H)-furanone, and is formed from the reaction of 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone and diacetyl. 2,5-dimethyl-4-mercapto-3(2H)-furanone is a flavor compound obtainable by this process.
Abstract:
A flavor composition comprising a complex of a pyrolyzed fat/oil flavor with a gelantinized amylose or a blend of the complex with a protein hydrolyzate as well as foodstuffs containig these flavor compositions.
Abstract:
A process and apparatus for producing flavoring compositions by subjecting a thin film of fat or oil to an elevated temperature of about 600.degree. F. in the presence of oxygen. The elevated temperature causes the oil or fat to undergo a phase change to produce an exothermic gaseous material. The gaseous material is cooled rapidly to produce a liquid phase and a vapor containing an aerosol. The liquid phase is collected as a first flavorant and the vapor phase passed through a condenser to recover the aerosol as a flavorant with a more intense grill flavor. The remaining smoke or vapor is exhausted from the apparatus to remove the tarry and acrid flavor notes.
