FLAVOUR COMPOSITION AND EDIBLE COMPOSITIONS CONTAINING SAME Russian patent published in 2018 - IPC A23L27/10 A23L27/21 A23L27/22 A23L27/40 

FIELD: food industry.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to flavour compositions. Flavour composition for enhancing salinity in a food product comprises a peptide selected from a group consisting of pGlu-Val, pGlu-Cys, pGlu-Val-Leu, pGlu-Val-Val, pGlu-Val-Cys, pGlu-Cys-Gly, pGlu-Cys-Cys, pGlu-Cys-Val and combinations thereof. Alternatively, the flavour composition for enhancing the umami flavour in a food product comprises a peptide selected from a group consisting of pGlu-Val-Cys, pGlu-Cys-Gly, pGlu-Cys-Cys, pGlu-Cys-Val and combinations thereof. Alternatively, the flavour composition comprises a peptide selected from a group consisting of pGlu-Val-Leu, pGlu-Val-Cys, pGlu-Cys-Gly, pGlu-Cys-Cys, pGlu-Cys-Val and combinations thereof. Invention relates to a method for enhancing salinity in a food product, comprising adding to the food product any of said compositions. Invention relates to a method for enhancing umami flavour in a food product, comprising adding to the food product said compositions, wherein the peptide of the flavour composition is present at a concentration of about 0.000001 to about 1,000,000 ppb in the peptide mixture.

EFFECT: flavour composition provides pure salinity with reduced content of sodium chloride and umami flavour without salty taste.
