A method for producing a coconut extract includes the steps of (a) extracting an endosperm portion of a coconut with a solvent and (b) removing an odor component from a solvent extract obtained in the step (a). A flavor improver includes the coconut extract. A food or drink includes the flavor improver.

Compositions which are fragrant and contain at least a member set culled from a library of compositions, each being comprised of sub-combinations of selected terpenes. Fragrances that mimic that of various states of organic and synthetic aromatics including products, processes and those from non-combusted plant products, among other things, uniquitous products, processes, medicinals, and related moieties leverage databases of all known terpene groupings are offered for consideration, and have been provided, according to the instant teachings.

A method for manufacturing a vanilla product includes: (a) subjecting a vanilla pod to a crushing treatment to destroy tissue structures of the vanilla pod so as to obtain crushed particles of the vanilla pod; (b) placing the crushed particles of the vanilla pod into a container, followed by sealing the container; and (c) after step (b), heating the crushed particles of the vanilla pod in the container at a temperature ranging from 40 C. to 65 C., so as to obtain the vanilla product having aroma molecules.

The invention relates to a method for obtaining aromatics.

Various aspects of this disclosure relate to the simultaneous production and distillation of furfural, 5-(hydroxymethyl)furfural, 5-methylfufural, guaiacol, eugenol, vanillin, 2-methoxy-3-methylphenol, 2-methoxy-4-methylphenol, 2-methoxy-5-methylphenol, syringol, syringaldehyde, 2,6-dimethoxy-3-methylphenol, 2,6-dimethoxy-4-methylphenol, 2,6-dimethylphenol, and/or 2,6-dimethoxy-4-(prop-2-enyl)phenol to produce a distillate comprising one or more of the aforementioned molecules. In selected embodiments, the distillate is produced from a natural product and replicates the flavor and/or aroma of the natural product.

The present invention relates to a process for producing an ethanol-free vanilla extract, and an ethanol-free vanilla extract obtainable by the process according to the invention. In particular, the present invention relates to an ethanol-free vanilla extract comprising at most 100 mg/kg ethanol, the use of this ethanol-free vanilla extract and products comprising the ethanol-free vanilla extract. The focus of the present invention is in particular to provide an ethanol-free vanilla extract which contains only traces of ethanol naturally contained in fermented vanilla beans and is produced without the use of ethanol.

Compositions which are fragrant and contain at least a member set culled from a library of compositions, each being comprised of sub-combinations of selected terpenes.
