Abstract
The present invention relates to the use of a special class of oligosaccharides, herein called iso-oligosaccharides, for flavour generation during thermal processing of food. The invention also relates to the use of such oligosaccharides in the form of individual compounds, or as mixtures thereof, or in the form of ingredients comprising the individual compounds or mixtures thereof, or as enzymatic or fermented preparations containing the individual compounds or mixtures thereof.
Claims22
Use of an iso-oligosaccharides of formula (I)
- R—B (I)
- Wherein
- R and B are connected via a 1→6 glycosidic linkage;
- B is an aldohexose or ketohexose monosaccharide unit comprising the carbon 6 bearing the —OH group forming the glycosidic linkage between R and B;
- R is a group X-A-*
- wherein A is an optionally functionalized monosaccharide unit comprising the carbon 1 bearing the —OH group forming the glyosidic linkage;
- wherein the sign * indicates the point of attachment for the group R to B;
- wherein X is connected to A via a covalent bond and is selected in the group consisting of:
- hydrogen, monosaccharide, and linear or branched oligosaccharide, wherein such monosaccharide or oligosaccharides may be further functionalized;
- or mixtures thereof as flavour precursors, for example in Maillard or caramelization reactions
