Abstract:
Described herein are processes and methods of producing a new food confection or ingredient, the food confection or ingredient including a caramelized white chocolate food product. The methods encompass variations in the conditions for a Maillard reaction in order to advantageously select a predetermined combination of flavors and colors of a finished food confection product or food ingredient.
Abstract:
Provided herein is a method of preparing a palatability enhancer for a food composition comprising: a) combining an animal fat, one or more edible agents, an alkaline agent and water at a temperature of up to 45°C to form a mixture, wherein the edible agents are selected from amino acids, sugars, vitamins, flavorants and flavor precursors, b) heating the mixture to a temperature of 96°C to 99°C for at least 35 minutes, and c) obtaining a palatability enhancer from the mixture, wherein the palatability enhancer comprises animal fat in an amount of at least about 80 wt %, and wherein the method is conducted under ambient pressure. Further provided is a method of enhancing the palatablity of a food composition and a method of reducing the odor of animal fat.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for the production of a boiled beef flavour comprising heating a composition comprising a reducing sugar and cysteine and 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone characterized in that the composition is heated and extruded in an extruder at a temperature between 80°C and 140°C.
Abstract:
The present invention provides a process for the production of a boiled chicken flavour comprising heating a composition comprising a reducing sugar and cysteine and arachidonic acid characterized in that the composition is heated and extruded in an extruder at a temperature between 80°C and 140°C.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to flavour generation. In particular the invention relates to a process for the preparation of a flavour composition. The process comprises combining glycerol with a quaternary ammonium compound, adding at least one flavour precursor to form a reaction mixture and heating the reaction mixture to form aroma compounds, wherein the glycerol is combined with a quaternary ammonium compound at a molar ratio ranging between 5:1 and 0.8:1. The flavour precursor comprises preferably an amino compound such as an amino acid. A further aspect of the invention is a food product comprising the flavour composition obtainable by the process of the invention.
Abstract:
A process for preparing a flavour concentrate having a meat flavour and/or aroma, comprising contacting animal lipid with a lipase enzyme, such that at least some triglycerides present in the lipid are hydrolysed, to give a mixture of free fatty acids, monoglycerides, diglycerides and non-hydrolyzed triglycerides; heating the mixture to inactivate the lipase; and heating the mixture with an aqueous solution containing at least one reducing sugar and at least one amino acid to give the flavour concentrate.
Abstract:
The invention provides a Maillard flavor composition comprising a structured lipid phase, a polar solvent, different from water, and at least one Maillard reaction product. The invention concerns further a method for making said composition in a structured lipid phase using polar solvent different from water. The compositions are useful for enhancing the palatability of foods, dietary supplements, medicaments, and the like.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a baked foodstuff with an improved flavour and an improved texture. Also to compositions for generating these improved flavours and textures in baked foodstuffs which compositions comprise non pre-reacted flavour precursors which react on heating to generate the flavours.
