CREAM FLAVOR COMPOSITION FOR USE WITH BUTTERY FLAVORED FOOD PRODUCTS

摘要

A cream flavor composition useful with buttery flavored food products such as shortenings and margarines. The composition consists essentially of: (a) a carboxylic acid component selected from 8-nonenoic acid, 9-decenoic acid, 10-undecenoic acid, and mixtures thereof; and (b) a higher methyl ketone component selected from 2-undecanone, 2-dodecanone, 2-tridecanone, 2-tetradecanone, 2-pentadecanone, 2-hexadecanone, and mixtures thereof. A particularly preferred cream flavor composition consists essentially of 9-decanoic acid and a mixture of 2-undecanone, 2-tridecanone and 2-pentadecanone. When added to the buttery flavored food product, the amount of the carboxylic acid component is from about 0.0025 to about 350 ppm; the amount of 2-undecanone and or 2-dodecanone is from about 0.0014 to about 600 ppm; the amount of 2-tridecanone and/or 2-tetradecanone is from a bout 0.0085 to about 800 ppm; the amount of 2-pentadecanone and/or 2-hexadecanone is at least about 0.0080 ppm.
