Abstract
This invention relates to a high browning liquid smoke composition made from the condensable liquids of pyrolyed wood or cellulose. The high browning liquid smoke composition has the capability to flavor and to impart characteristic smoke color to a foodstuff and has a brix less than about 50, a browning index greater than about 30, and a transmittance value of greater than about 50% at 590 nm. A method of making the high browning liquid smoke composition and the use of the composition with a food product is also disclosed.
Claims11
A high browning liquid composition comprising a liquid solution having a ratio of browning index to percentage of carbonyls in the liquid solution of greater than 0.8.
A method for making a high browning liquid composition comprising the steps of:
- a) collecting the condensable liquids produced by the fast pyrolysis of wood or cellulose to give a raw liquid;
- b) diluting the raw liquid with water to give a diluted liquid;
- c) contacting the diluted liquid with a nonionic polymeric resin to give a high browning liquid composition having a browning index to percentage of carbonyls in the liquid composition of between 0.8-1.6.
A process for flavoring and coloring a food product comprising the steps of:
- a) collecting the condensable liquids produced by the fast pyrolysis of wood or cellulose to give a raw liquid;
- b) diluting the raw liquid with water to give a diluted liquid);
- c) contacting the diluted liquid with a nonionic polymeric resin to give a treated liquid having a ratio of browning index to percentage of carbonyls in the treated liquid of about 0.8-1.6;
- d) concentrating the treated liquid give a high browning liquid composition;
- and
- e) contacting the food product with the high browning liquid composition.
