Definitions

  • a high amount of sodium intake is considered to be detrimental to health and therefore there is a desire to reduce the amount of sodium chloride (NaCl) in food products, without reducing the desired salty taste at the same time.
  • the salty taste is very important to the perceived flavour intensity and profile, especially for savory food products.
  • KCl Potassium Chloride
  • Celery and in particular the volatile part of celery, especially certain volatile phthalides, has been described to enhance saltiness and umami taste in chicken broth (Y. Kurobayashi et al. (2007), J. Agric. Food. Chem. 56, 512-516.).
  • intensity and duration of saltiness are still insufficient for many food products and could be improved.
  • isolation/enrichment of the volatile part is impractical.
  • a process to form a salt enhancing ingredient comprising the steps of (i) forming an aqueous slurry of Apium graveolens plant material, and (ii) forming a hydrolysate of Apium graveolens plant material by subjecting it to an enzymatic hydrolysis using one or more proteolytic enzymes.
  • a flavor composition for food products comprising the salt enhancing ingredient as described under any one of items (9) to (11) and one or more food-grade excipient.
  • a food product comprising the salt enhancing ingredient as described under any one of items (9) to (11).
  • the food product as described under item (14) wherein the concentration of the salt enhancing ingredient as described under any one of items (9) to (11) is 0.001% to 0.015% (wt/wt) based on the unconcentrated salt enhancing ingredient.
  • salt enhancing is meant the effect of an ingredient on the salty taste in food which is found more pronounced (stronger, enhanced) in its taste intensity and/or longer in its duration as analyzed by trained panelists sensitive to salty taste, when comparing food comprising an ingredient with a salt enhancing effect to food without an added salt enhancing ingredient.
  • the enhanced intensity and duration of the perception of salty taste by the salt enhancing ingredient can be increased by additionally using a carbohydrase enzyme, either in parallel or consecutively, in its formation.
  • the enhanced intensity and duration of the perception of salty taste can be further increased by an optional fermentation step employing Lactobacillus bacteria, for example, Lactobacillus plantarum.
  • Apium graveolens is meant.
  • Apium graveolens is a plant species in the family Apiaceae, and yields celery and celeriac. Stalks from Apium graveolens dulce are useful for the processes and ingredients described herein but any material from any Apium graveolens plant can be used.
