Abstract
The present invention relates to novel solid systems for the delivery of aroma chemicals and flavoring ingredients, including an extrusion formed matrix containing an effective amount of certain specific hydrophilic aroma materials. These systems are useful for flavoring consumer products. An extrusion of solid Furaneol® compound and derivatives that have a content of up to 40% by weight of Furaneol® compound are disclosed.
Claims17
A solid delivery system for the release of aroma ingredients, comprising an extrusion formed matrix comprising a sugar or sugar derivative that can be extruded to a dry solid, the matrix containing an effective amount of substantially hydrophilic aroma material selected from the group consisting of 3-hydroxy-4,5-dimethyl-2(5H)-furanone, 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone, 4-hydroxy-5-methyl-3(2H)-furanone, 3-hydroxy-2-methyl-4(4H)-pyranone, 2-ethyl-3-hydroxy-4(4H)-pyranone, 2-hydroxy-2-penten-4-olid, and a compound of formula:
- wherein X designates a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated C1-C5 hydrocarbon radical or a group of formula:
- wherein Y designates a linear or branched, saturated or unsaturated C1-C6 hydrocarbon radical, and R represents a hydrogen atom, a methyl group, an acetyl group or an ethoxycarbonyl group, and mixtures or derivatives thereof.
A solid delivery system for the release of aroma ingredients, comprising an extrusion formed matrix comprising a maltodextrin, the matrix containing an effective amount of 4-hydroxy-2,5-dimethyl-3(2H)-furanone, or a mixture of the latter with maltol or ethyl maltol.
