  • Liquid seasoning compositions III
    Patent number: 4285981
    Abstract: A homogeneous liquid condimental composition, useful in flavoring or coloring foods and beverages and which is dispersible in both oil and water, consisting essentially of (1) lecithin, (2) tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides, and (3) one or more condiments selected from edible flavorings and edible colorings, the ratio by weight of (1) plus (2) to (3) being at least 1:4, preferably at least 1:3, especially about 1:1, the condiment portion (3) preferably comprising at least one condiment selected from the group consisting of (a) spice oleoresins, (b) essential oils, and (c) edible colorings, the ratios by weight of (2) to (1) preferably being between about 3:7 and 3:1, and the condiment portion (3) preferably comprising oleoresin black pepper.

  • Liquid seasoning compositions I
    Patent number: 4283429
    Abstract: A homogeneous liquid condimental composition, useful in flavoring or coloring foods and beverages and which is dispersible in both oil and water, consisting essentially of (1) hydroxylated lecithin, (2) tartaric acid esters of mono- and diglycerides, and (3) one or more condiments selected from edible flavorings and edible colorings, the ratio by weight of (1) plus (2) to (3) being at least 1:4, preferably at least 1:3, especially about 1:1, the condiment portion (3) preferably comprising at least one condiment selected from the group consisting of (a) spice oleoresins, (b) essential oils, and (c) edible colorings, the ratios by weight of (2) to (1) preferably being between about 1:3 and 3:1, and the condiment portion (3) preferably comprising oleoresin black pepper.

  • Process for isomerizing alpha acids to iso-alpha acids
    Patent number: 4002683
    Abstract: The present invention provides a process for transforming an alpha acid into an iso-alpha acid, involving contact of the alpha acid with an aqueous solution of a metal ion, comprising the steps of contacting an aqueous solution of the metal ion with a water-immiscible organic solvent solution of the alpha acid under conditions whereunder the alpha acid is dissolved or remains dissolved in said organic solvent and effecting the desired isomerization in the water-immiscible organic solvent, with or without prior separation of said solvent containing said alpha acid from the aqueous phase.Numerous advantages accrue to the employment of this process over prior-art procedures. Humulones are readily isomerized to isohumulones, and hop extracts are readily isomerized to "preisomerized" hop extracts. The products have utility as flavoring additives.
