Abstract: A smoke coloring and flavoring composition containing about 10 ppb or less benzo(a)pyrene, and its method of preparation by contacting a water-insoluble tar by-product from the pyrolysis of wood with a nonionic resin.
Abstract: This invention relates to a high browning liquid smoke composition made from the condensable liquids of pyrolyed wood or cellulose. The high browning liquid smoke composition has the capability to flavor and to impart characteristic smoke color to a foodstuff and has a brix less than about 50, a browning index greater than about 30, and a transmittance value of greater than about 50% at 590 nm. A method of making the high browning liquid smoke composition and the use of the composition with a food product is also disclosed.
