Abstract
The invention relates to a flavoring composition having a better milk-like flavor and a process for producing the composition. The composition comprises a 5-alkenoic acid and/or a 6-alkenoic acid both represented by general formula (1) and a lower aliphatic aldehyde having not greater than 8 carbon atoms: wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 4, and the dashed line represents the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond at either side. The composition may further comprise a δ-lactone represented by general formula (2) and/or a γ-lactone represented by general formula (3): wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 4; and wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 4.
Claims22
A composition having a mild milk flavor consisting essentially of a 5-alkenoic acid and/or a 6-alkenoic acid both represented by general formula (1) and a lower aliphatic aldehyde having not greater than 8 carbon atoms:
- wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 4, and the dashed line represents the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond at either side.
A process for producing a composition having a mild milk flavor, comprising aging a 5-alkenoic acid and/or a 6-alkenoic acid, both represented by general formula (1), by storing the acid or acids for a selected period of time at 40°-80° C. to produce a composition consisting essentially of a lower aliphatic aldehyde having not greater than 8 carbon and the acid or acids atoms:
- wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 4, and the dashed line represents the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond at either side.
A process for producing a mild milk flavor composition, comprising aging a mixture of a 5-alkenoic acid and/or a 6-alkenoic acid, both represented by general formula (1), and a δ-lactone represented by general formula (2) and/or a γ-lactone represented by general formula (3) by storing the acid or acids and the lactone or lactones for a selected period of time at 40°-80° C. to produce a composition consisting essentially of a lacetones lower aliphatic aldehyde having not greater than 8 carbon atoms the acid or acids and the lactone or:
- wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 4, and the dashed line represents the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond at either side:
- wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 4;
- and
- wherein n is an integer of from 1 to4.
A flavoring composition consisting essentially of a 5-alkenoic acid and/or a 6-alkenoic acid, both represented by general formula (1), and an amount of a lower aliphatic aldehyde having not greater than 8 carbon atoms effective to impart a milder milk flavor than the 5-alkenoic acid or the 6-alkenoic acid alone:
- wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 4, and the dashed line represents the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond at either side.
A process for producing a flavoring composition, comprising aging a 5-alkenoic acid and/or a 6-alkenoic acid, both represented by general formula (1), by storing the acid or acids for a selected period of time at 40°-80° C. to produce a composition consisting essentially of the acid or acids and an amount of a lower aliphatic aldehyde having not greater than 8 carbon atoms effective to impart a milder milk flavor than the 5-alkenoic acid or the 6-alkenoic acid alone:
- wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 4, and the dashed line represents the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond at either side.
A process for producing a flavoring composition, comprising aging a mixture of a 5-alkenoic acid and/or a 6-alkenoic acid, both represented by general formula (1), and a δ-lactone represented by general formula (2) and/or a γ-lactone represented by general formula (3) by storing the acid or acids and the lactone or lactones for a selected period of time at 40°-80° C. to produce an amount of a lower aliphatic aldehyde having not greater than 8 carbon atoms effective to impart a milder milk flavor than the 5-alkenoic acid or the 6-alkenoic acid alone:
- wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 4, and the dashed line represents the presence of a carbon-carbon double bond at either side:
- wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 4;
- and
- wherein n is an integer of from 1 to 4.
