Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for manufacturing a fat-based flavour concentrate obtained by a thermal reaction wherein the process comprises the step of providing a flavour precursor composition comprising at least one polyol and at least one amino compound comprising amino acids, amino acid derivatives and peptides with a dairy ingredient;followed by heating the flavour precursor composition with the dairy ingredient to generate a fat-based flavour concentrate; and cooling the fat-based flavour concentrate.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the preparation of a coffee beverage powder useful for the preparation of coffee beverages such as e.g. cappuccino, café latte, café macchiato, café au lait. The method comprises the preparation of an aqueous composition comprising coffee solids and protein and/or fat, adding aroma obtained from coffee to the composition and drying the composition to produce a coffee beverage powder. The coffee beverage powder has improved aroma and/or characteristics.

Abstract: NEW MATERIAL: A compound of formula I (R is 1˜6C alkyl other than ethyl, 2˜6C alkenyl). EXAMPLE: 2-Methyl 2-mercaptopropionate. USE: A durable flavor and taste imparting agent usable for foods, drinks, cosmetics, healthy and hygienic use, medicines, etc. PROCESS: A 2-mercaptopropionic acid of formula II (R? is H, 1˜6C alkyl or 2˜6C alkenyl) is esterified with an aliphatic alcohol of the formula R?(OH) in the presence of a catalyst, e.g. an inorganic acid such as sulfuric acid or organic acid such as acetic acid, in an azeotropic solvent, e.g. benzene, at 60˜100° C. to give the compound of formula I easily in high purity and yield. The molar amount of the aliphatic alcohol to be used is 1˜20 times, preferably 2˜5 times, that of the compound of formula II. The amount of the catalyst to be used is 0.1˜10 wt % based on the compound of formula II.

Abstract: A process for flavouring foodstuffs includes incorporating therein a flavoring effective amount of at least one compound represented by R1-S-R2 wherein R1 and R2 represent (a) a hydrogen atom and a 1-(1-methoxycarbonyl)ethyl group or represent (b) a hydrogen atom and a 1-(1-propyloxycarbonyl)ethyl group. Foodstuffs and concentrates containing at least one of the R1-S-R2 compounds are provided.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for stabilising the aroma of aroma-rich foodstuffs and their products by reducing the amount of phenols derived from decomposition of polyphenols contained therein. The invention also describes aroma-stabilized foodstuffs as well as their products having a desirable flavour.

Abstract: Methods and uses of one or more straight chain C4-C5 mercapto-alkanones in an amount sufficient to increase the organoleptic properties of a coffee flavor provided in a food or beverage. The compounds may be used to replace or reinforce flavors or aromas that were at least partially removed during preparation of soluble coffee powder. The aroma-providing compound(s) may be added to soluble coffee powder prior to its incorporation or addition to the food or beverage in an amount sufficient to increase the coffee flavor thereto. Food products and beverages containing one or more of these aroma-providing substances are also included. Depending on which flavor notes and aromas are desired in the final product, other aroma-providing substances may be added to the food products and beverages. It has been found that particularly suitable additional aroma-providing compounds for use in the present invention are 4-methoxy-2-methylbutan-2-thiol alone or in combination with other sulfur containing coffee odorants.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the preparation of flavors with for instance creamy, green, cucumber like fatty odour characteristics by reacting an oil or fat comprising unsaturated fatty acid triglycerides with a lipoxygenase preparation capable of converting triglycerides into their hydroperoxides in a multiphase system in the presence of air, air enriched with oxygen or oxygen and, subsequently thermally converting the obtained mixture—preferably under acidic conditions—resulting in an aldehyde containing product. Further the invention encompasses the use of the obtained flavors for incorporation in all kinds of food products like dairy products such as ice-cream, yoghurt and skim milk and savory products as well as the produced flavoured products.
