Aldehyde Generators for Flavors

The quest to deliver unstable aldehydes to food systems by the use of generators is being realized. With the proper generator, flavors can be created for use under conditions traditionally unfavorable to aldehydes, As in other derived systems it appears best to employ nature as a model and to design generators in the same way that nature produces flavors.

Innovative methods for isolating volatile flavors

The isolation, separation, and quantification of volatile flavors from foods presents a very challenging analytical problem. Flavor chemicals are present and may make a significant contribution to flavor at concentrations as low as parts per trilion (ppt). These chemicals may contain different functional groups or have several functional groups. They may vary in carbon chain length. This means that the group of chemicals contributing to the flavor of a food may differ greatly in water solubility (for example, organic acids vs. long chain ketones), volatility (acetaldehyde vs. vanillin), thermal stability (terpenes), chemical reactivity (thiols), and so forth. This diversity in chemical structure make it virtually imossible to use on single method for the isolation of all flavorful constituents from a food. One has to be conscious of the limitations of each method used for flavor isolation and concentration.

Spray Drying of Food Flavors. Ill. Optimum Infeed Concentrations for the Retention of Artificial Flavors

The practical aspects of this work are that each flavor encapsulating material will exhibit an optimum concentration for flavor retention. The optimum concentrations determined in our study may not necessarily be the same as in a production facility. This would have to be determined using actual production equipment. If the retention is limited by the ability to atomize, this factor is equipment dependent. It does appear worthwhile to make this determination, however.
