  • Transesterification reaction for production of dairy flavour enhancing esters
    Publication number: 20050130279
    Abstract: The invention is a process for producing flavour enhancing esters from dairy sourced mono-, di-, or triglycerides. The process is a transesterification reaction between the mono-, di- or triglyceride and an alcohol in an aqueous medium in the presence of an esterase selected for its high transesterification activity. The esters may be used for flavouring in a variety of food products, particularly dairy products such as cheeses.

  • Cheese flavour ingredient and method of its production
    Publication number: 20050123646
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a cheese flavour ingredient and an ingredient so prepared. The method comprises subjecting a protein in water mixture to proteolysis by a protease enzyme and to fermentation with a physiologically acceptable bacterium of one of the genera Enterococcus, Staphylococcus or Pseudomonas capable of producing a cheese flavour ingredient. The cheese flavour ingredient of the invention has a mixture of flavours and may be used as a component of balanced cheese-like flavour compositions.

  • Analysis of materials
    Patent number: 4069705
    Abstract: There is disclosed a device suitable for obtaining from a fluid mixture of first and second component materials a quantity thereof which contains a fixed weight of said first component material, and an apparatus for determining the proportion by weight of particles of a particulate solid material in suspension in a liquid which are larger than a given size. The apparatus comprises (i) means for delivering a quantity of the suspension containing a fixed weight of particulate solid material, (ii) means for separating from said quantity of suspension substantially all the solid particles larger than said given size; and (iii) means for determining the weight of said solid particles which are larger than said given size.
