Filed:

Oct 12, 1990

Appl. No.:

7/596498

Inventors:

Young C. Kang - Oakhurst NJ
Brian Byrne - East Brunswick NJ
Lawrence L. Buckholz - Middletown NJ
Marion A. Sudol - Boonton NJ
Richard M. Boden - Ocean NJ

Assignee:

International Flavors & Fragrances Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

A23L 100

US Classification:

426 96

Abstract:

Described is a process for producing a cooked edibly browned storage-stable fibrous proteinaceous muscle tissue foodstuff including the steps of: (a) providing a particulate flowable flavoring powder which contains individually discretly encapsulated Maillard reaction reagents with the reaction reagents being at least one enxapsulated amino acid and at least one encapsulated sugar; (b) providing an uncooked fibrous proteinaceous muscle tissue foodstuff containing more than 50% water; (c) placing in intimate the contact with at least part of the surface of the foodstuff, a flavor augmenting, imparting or enhancing quantity of the particulate flowable flavoring powder of (a); and (d) exposing the flavoring powder coated foodstuff surface to microwave powder-radiation for a period of time to cause the foodstuff to be edible whereby the resulting product is caused to be edible as a foodstuff and the cooked fibrous proteinaceous muscle tissue is edibly browned. Optionally, the particulate flowable flavoring powder may be in the form of a slurry with a solvent composition which is capable of raising the dielectric constant of the foodstuff to be cooked whereby the foodstuff to be cooked is completely cooked and edibly browned in the period of time under 600 seconds.

Assignee:

International Flavors & Fragrances, Inc. - New York NY

International Classification:

A23L 122

US Classification:

426307

Abstract:

Novel controlled release flowable flavoring powders and processes and apparatus for preparing and using such agents, the processes comprising heating a high melting point encapsulating or enrobing material, such as a fat and/or wax and one or more emulsifiers to melt this starting material; mixing one or more water-containing flavor compositions with a texture conditioning agent; mixing the flavor compositions and texture conditioning agent(s) with the molten fat or wax to obtain a homogeneous mixture in the form of an emulsion; and chilling the flavor composition-containing mixture to provide discrete particles of solid encapsulated flavoring agent, together with the products so produced and methods for using same.

Abstract:

Described is a process for producing cooked browned baked goods including the steps of: (a) providing a particulate flowable flavoring powder which contains individually discretly encapsulated Maillard reaction reagents with the reaction reagents being at least one encapsulated amino acid and at least one encapsulated sugar; (b) providing an uncooked baked goods foodstuff, e. g. , dough; (c) coating the composition of (a) onto the surface of the uncooked foodstuff; and (d) exposing the flavoring powder coated foodstuff surface to microwave radiation for a period of time to cause the foodstuff to be edible and to be browned whereby the resulting product is caused to be edible as a foodstuff and the baked goods is edibly browned. Optionally, the particulate flowable flavoring powder may be in the form of a slurry with a solvent composition which is capable of raising the dielectric constant of the foodstuff to be cooked whereby the foodstuff to be cooked is completely cooked and edibly browned for a period of time under 600 seconds.
