Title: Flavouring substances and their preparation
Inventor: MORTON IAN DOUGLAS
IPC: A23L27/21
Filed: 1955-04-07
Abstract: A flavouring substance is made by heating a mixture of a pentose or hexose monosaccharide, e.g. ribose, arabinose, xylose, glucose, with cysteine in the presence of a large excess of water, the mixture being not alkaline at the end of the reaction. Additional amino acids, other than phenylalanine and methionine, e.g. glutamic acid, glycine, a -and b -alanine, threonine, histidine, lysine, leucine, iso-leucine, serine, valine, may be incorporated in the reaction mixture.  The amino reagent may be included in a hydrolysed protein such as keratin, or in a peptide such as glutathione (g  - glutamylcysteinylglycine).  The amount of water may be 5-25 times that of the monosaccharide.  The molar proportion of monosaccharide to amino reagent may be 0.04-0.8 to 1.  The reaction is preferably carried out at pH 3-6.  The products may be converted to powders by freezedrying; they impart meat-like flavour to foods, especially protein foods; they may be produced directly in the food.  Examples are concerned with (1) making a brown solution having roast beef taste and aroma by reflux heating of a mixture of water, D-ribose, D-glucose, b -alanine, L-cysteine, L-glutamic acid and glycine for 2 hours, cooling, storing for 2 days, and then bringing to pH 6.6-6.8; (2) making an orange solution having roast beef taste and aroma by reflux heating of water, D-ribose and glutathione; (3) making a yellow solution having cooked pork taste and aroma by reflux heating of water, D-ribose and L-cysteine; (4) making an orange solution having roast beef taste and aroma by reflux heating of a decolorized, acid-hydrolysed cod fish flesh solution or soya bean protein, D-ribose and L-cysteine; (5) making a brown solution having a cooked meat flavour by reflux heating of water, a powder of decolorized casein and groundnut protein hydrolyzate, L-cysteine, D-glucose and D-xylose; (6) producing a beef-flavoured food by canning a mixture of decolorized, acid-hydrolysed cod fish flesh solution, D-ribose, L-cysteine, water and deflavoured groundnut or soya bean protein paste, sealing the cans, and heating the cans for 1 1/2 hours in steam at 10 lb./sq. inch pressure.
