Reflections of a Retired Flavorist Before He Forgets: Cocoa

In keeping with today’s irrational demand for natural products and the even more ridiculous activity of our industry, supplying these in ever mom concentrated form, the use of natural amino acids and sugars to obtain a natural reacted end-product plus added pure vanilla, cocoa distillate or extract, and traces of essential oils (such as Bois de Rose for its Iinalool content ) results in quite satisfactory, less expensive and more concentrated “natural coca or chocolate flavors.

Vanilla flavor is dominated by phenols and their transformation products mostly derived from enzymatic hydrolysis of the phenyl-β-D-glucosides. Cocoa bean flavor is dominated by Strecker aldehydes and pyrazines and other products generated during the roasting process of the beans.

Extracting the Essence: Comparing Vanilla and Cocoa Processes

Understanding the similarities and differences in biochemistry, chemistry and curing processes of vanilla and cocoa may offer insight into producing high-quality materials.

Developments in Flavors and Flavorings

Developments in flavors. A comparison of flavorings currently available with those being offered a decade ago show enormous advances in flavor profiles. Over the years there has been a significant move towards more ‘true to nature’ products and also the introduction of many new flavorings based on unusual natural materials. There will continue to be a large demand for the traditional flavors, but as the food industry tries to stimulate new interest, particularly in convenience foods, there will be an even greater need for new flavoring experiences.

The Flavor Parables: Designing a Program to Train Flavorists

This article is about training flavorists in a successful manner. I presents some essential guidelines—I call them parables—to optimize the training that apprentices should receive to maximize their learning, and to maximize their long-term value to their company.

Flavor Bites: 5-Hydroxy 2-decenoic acid delta lactone

Otherwise known as massoi lactone—the key flavor component of massoi bark oil—5-hydroxy 2-decenoic acid delta lactone is known for adding a creamy note in more than just dairy flavors.

δ-Decalactone can add subtle depth and authenticity to fruits like peaches and nectarines.

Flavor Bites: δ-Decalactone

The versatile chemical can be utilized in dairy, fruit and savory profiles.

GRAS Flavor Chemicals— Detection Thresholds

Odor detection threshold data can be useful in making judgments on use levels in flavor creation, as well as in planning flavor reconstructions. With the plethora of published data now available on the composition of natural food aromas, utilization of Guadagni’s odor unit concept is an effective and inexpensive tool for simplifying the otherwise difficult problem of converting a complex flavor analysis into a “practical” flavor system.
