Abstract:
The present invention provides with a method for producing compositions with a chicken flavour. The compositions of the invention can be obtained by applying the following method: (a) preparing a mixture comprising at least one reducing carbohydrate and at least one amino acid; (b) keeping the mixture at a temperature sufficient for the reducing carbohydrate and amino acid to react with each other; (c) adding to the mixture a composition comprising arachidonic acid, whereby said arachidonic acid is esterified for at least 50% w/w, preferably at least 65% w/w, more preferably at least 80% w/w, most preferably at least 90% w/w to the glycerol moiety of a triglyceride; and (d) keeping the mixture at a temperature sufficient for the chicken flavour to develop; and possibly: (e) drying the composition under mild conditions. The use of an oil rich in arachidonic acid, whereby said arachidonic acid is esterified to the glycerol moiety of a triglyceride, confers an enhanced stability to the compositions obtained. A composition of the invention is stable at room temperature for at least one year.
Abstract:
A process for producing a product having a fish flavor is provided, the process comprising preparing a composition comprising 1-20% w/w water and at least a polyunsaturated fatty acid, incubating the composition at less than 260° C. and at a reaction time sufficient for the fish flavor to develop, and optionally mixing the product with one or more other ingredients. The product obtainable by this process and methods for using the same are also provided.

Abstract:
The present invention describes a process to produce a composition containing 5′-ribonucleotides wherein a microorganism is subjected to autolysis under conditions at which a substantial part of the RNA remains in a form degradable into 5′-ribonucleotides and at which a substantial part of the RNA remains associated with the cell wall fraction. Said cell wall fraction is recovered by a solid/liquid separation method and the RNA associated with said wall fraction is converted into 5′-ribonucleotides. The present invention also describes compositions containing 5′-ribonucleotides and their use in food or feed.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a concentrated vegetable flavour wherein the concentration of the vegetable flavour is such that in order to obtain a food with a desired vegetable flavour, the concentrated flavour is added to said food in an amount to arrive at a final concentration of less than 0.1% w/w of the food. The invention also relates to a process to produce said concentrated vegetable flavour and to a method for preparing a food comprising adding the concentrated vegetable flavour.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process to produce a food or feed flavour. The invention also relates to a food or feed flavour obtainable by the process of the invention and the use thereof. The process of the invention comprises preparing a composition comprising a cystein and/or glutathione, incubating the composition under conditions of temperature and reaction time sufficient for the feed or food flavour to develop, and optionally mixing the food or feed flavour with one or more other ingredients. With this process many different food or feed flavour can be produced.
Abstract:
The present invention describes novel yeast extract, autolysed yeast and protein hydrolysate with an amount of free asparagine not higher than 1 mg/g. This yeast extract, autolysed yeast or protein hydrolysate may be advantageously used in the production of a process flavour with an amount of acrylamide not higher than 800 ppb. This process flavour is particularly suitable to be used in flavouring of food or feed.
