Abstract:
A chewable composition, comprising at least one pharmaceutically active ingredient component; solid components including at least one flavor, and at least one disintegrant including at least one non-starch disintegrant; flowable components including a flowable oil, and at least one wetting agent other than water.
Abstract:
A method of preparing a salt product comprises the steps of: (i) providing a mixture which comprises salt dissolved in a solvent, said mixture further containing an organic material that is solid under ambient temperature conditions; and (ii) atomizing said mixture and evaporating said solvent to produce a salt product comprised of particles of salt incorporating said organic material. The organic material may be a polymer such as a carbohydrate (e.g. maltodextrin or Gum Arabic). Novel salt products are disclosed which comprise hollow particles having a shell formed for individual crystallites of salt. The salt product is useful as a seasoning for food and may be used in lower amounts than conventional salt to provide the same taste. Particular advantages are obtained in the baking of bread.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process of producing Maillard flavor preparation, such as process flavors, comprising heating a combination of a carbohydrate source and a nitrogen source in a continuous liquid phase containing at least 10 wt % of an α-hydroxycarboxylic acid component selected from the group of α-hydroxycarboxylic acids according to the following formula (I): R1—CR2(OH)—COOH salts of these acids and combinations thereof. It was found that the flavor preparations so obtained exhibit unique flavor profiles, making them particularly suitable for use in foodstuffs, beverages, pharmaceutics, tobacco products and oral care products.
Abstract:
A flavor stabilized hydrated texturized plant protein may be produced by infusing dehydrated texturized plant protein particles with a water solution of one or more flavors and one or more heat denaturable soluble proteins. A binding and thickening water solution, including a heat denaturable soluble protein, a gum, an insoluble food protein, and/or a starch, may be added to the flavor stabilized hydrated texturized plant protein to create a formable mass. Fat may be added to the formable mass to produce a mass of generally moist crumbly pieces, wherein the crumbly pieces are generally surrounded by the binder/thickener. The formable mass and/or one or more portions thereof containing the generally moist crumbly pieces may then be formed into one or more plant-based food products such as, e.g., a patty, a loaf, a bail, lasagna, sausage, pizza topping(s), chili, and/or other food products that normally contain small pieces of meat.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of producing mushroom mycelia-based meat analog, a meat analog produced using the method, a low-calorie synthetic meat and a meat flavor comprising the meat analog. The meat analog can be produced from mushroom mycelia within a short period of time in a cost and effort effective manner. A meat analog having improved meat-like texture and flavor compared to a conventional soy protein can be produced, and thus a low-calorie synthetic meat and a meat flavor can be produced using the meat analog.

Abstract:
Described are the cycloalkyl esters of mercaptoalkanoic acids defined according to the structure: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 represents hydrogen or methyl; R.sub.2 represents mono C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 alkyl substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.5 -C.sub.8 cycloalkyl; R.sub.3 represents hydrogen or methyl; and N represents 0, 1 or 2 and uses thereof in augmenting or enhancing the aroma or taste of foodstuffs.
Abstract:
A flavoring composition comprising an effective amount of a compound having the following structure: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is an alkyl group of 1 to 7 carbon atoms; and R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are chosen from the group consisting of hydrogen and an alkyl group of 1 to 3 carbon atoms. These compounds have been found to impart a fatty, meaty, chicken-like and pork-like quality, flavor and aroma when added in effect amounts to food products.
Abstract:
A process in which a liquid or pasty mixture containing at least one source of free amino acids and additives comprising at least one monosaccharide and, where desired, at least one sulphur-containing substance is reacted by heating. The source of free amino acids is subjected in liquid form to fractionation on a column of active carbon, some of the fractions are collected, a mixture of the fractions collected and the additives is prepared, the mixture is reacted by heating, an aromatic fraction is removed from the reaction product and/or fixed and the reaction product is dried in vacuo. The product, which has a flavor resembling in taste meat, fish or mushrooms, may be incorporated in food products such as soups, sauces, condiments and stocks.
Abstract:
Described are methyl substituted 2-(2,6-dimethyl-1,5-heptadienyl)-1,3-dithiolanes defined according to the structure: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different and each represents methyl or hydrogen with the proviso that at least one of R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 is methyl and uses thereof in augmenting or enhancing the aroma or taste of foodstuffs.
