A flavor composition containing at least one dipeptide or tripeptide compound that can be used to enhance the taste of edible compositions including sweet goods, such as confectionery goods, and savory goods, such as pet foods.

A flavor composition containing at least one dipeptide or tripeptide compound that can be used to enhance the taste of edible compositions including sweet goods, such as confectionery goods, and savory goods, such as pet foods.

A flavor composition comprising at least one compound that modulates, increases and/or enhances the activity of a GPR120 fatty acid receptor that can be used to enhance the fatty acid taste and/or palatability of pet food products is described herein. Also disclosed herein are methods for identifying said compounds.

A flavor composition comprising at least one compound that modulates, increases and/or enhances the activity of a GPR120 fatty acid receptor that can be used to enhance the fatty acid taste and/or palatability of pet food products is described herein. Also disclosed herein are methods for identifying said compounds.

A flavour composition is provided. The composition includes a characterizing flavour and a taste modifying composition. The taste modifying composition includes at least four non-polar amino acids and at least one polar amino acid. The at least four non-polar amino acids are present in equal molar concentrations.

Provided is a process to produce a yeast-derived product as well as a yeast autolysate or yeast extract comprising at least 1% w/w reducing sugar based on the total dry matter weight of the yeast extract or yeast autolysate. Also provided is a process to produce a reaction flavour. The yeast extract or yeast autolysate is very suitable for the production of a reaction flavour.

The present invention relates to compounds and compositions for use in enhancing flavor and umami taste of food products. Particularly, the present invention relates to compounds of the general formula (I) and compositions comprising them. ##STR00001##
