Abstract: New and improved food flavorings are provided including apparatus and methods for producing same. The flavorings are produced by extracting, concentrating and toasting a variety of organic materials including vegetable, fruit and root extracts or juices. In one form, the toasting procedure is carried out on an automatic continuous basis. In another form, the total manufacturing procedure is performed automatically and continuously. The resulting products, when added to various foods, render such foods salty tasting without the need for adding common salt (NaCl) to a variety of foods and food products. Such food flavorings may thus be used in salt free diets as well as conventional diets where new and improved tasty flavors are desired.
