  • Method for producing natural diol-1,3 derivatives and corresponding natural 1,3-dioxane derivatives
    Patent number: 6384243
    Abstract: An unsaturated fatty acid precursor of a natural 1,3-diol derivative, which precursor is the same as that which is naturally present in a cider apple, is enzymatically converted to the natural 1,3-diol derivative.

  • Process for the production of natural vanilla extract by enzymatic processing of green vanilla pods, and extract thereby obtained
    Patent number: 5705205
    Abstract: A process for increasing the yield of natural vanilla flavor. Green vanilla pods are hydrated. The resulting hydrated pods are ground, forming a liquid phase and a solid phase. The resulting ground hydrated product of green vanilla pods is treated with an enzymatic system including at least one enzyme. The enzyme system possesses from about 10 to about 1000 units of beta-glucose activity per gram of green vanilla pods. The ground hydrated green vanilla pods and the enzymatic system are incubated at a temperature of from about 10.degree. C. to about 40.degree. C. for a period of between about 2 hours and about 30 hours sufficient to allow the release of the vanilla flavor. The liquid phase containing the vanilla flavor is separated from the solid phase.
