The present invention provides a solid or semi-solid flavour delivery system, comprising: 30-60 wt. % water; 10-40 wt. % fat; 8-40 wt. % of a starch component selected from starch, modified starch and combinations thereof; and flavouring;
wherein the flavour delivery system comprises, calculated by weight of the flavour delivery system, 0.1-20 mg/kg 2,4-heptadienal and 1-200 mg/kg 2,4-decadienal.

This flavour delivery system can be applied in foodstuffs such as meat analogues, processed meat and extruded products to provide a nice juicy, fatty flavour during consumption of the foodstuff.

The present invention relates to a yeast extract comprising free glutamate in an amount of at least 7 wt. % on salt free dry matter and comprising an amount of 5-ribonucleotides of at least 10 wt. % on salt free dry matter.

A Lentinula edodes-derived saltiness enhancing peptide, a method for preparing the same and use thereof are provided herein, belonging to the technical field of active peptides. The Lentinula edodes-derived saltiness enhancing peptide is derived from an enzymolysis extract of a Lentinula edodes fruiting body by flavourzyme and shows a strong ability to enhance saltiness. Compared with the saltiness value of a 4.0 g/L NaCl solution, the Lentinula edodes-derived saltiness enhancing peptide could replace about 50% of NaCl, thus reducing salt without reducing saltiness. Moreover, the Lentinula edodes-derived saltiness enhancing peptide also has a high umami value and can be used in preparation of low-salt foods including low-salt and flavor-enhancing foods.

A method for suppressing obesity or for reducing body fat that includes administering to a human an oral composition containing tectorigenins, and one or more compounds selected from anthocyanins, quercetins, glutamic acid, histidine, methionine, phenylalanine, tryptophan, cysteine, glycine, nucleotides, and inulins. The oral composition may be in the form of a powder, a granule, a tablet, or a capsule.

The present disclosure relates to flavor compositions and pet food products for preventing and/or treating chronic kidney disease (CKD) and/or urinary tract disease in an animal. In certain embodiments, the flavor compositions and pet food products have enhanced palatability.

A masking composition for masking non-animal derived protein off-notes is provided. The making composition includes a) a mixture of a Lamiaceae extract together with vitamin C, the extract and the vitamin C having an admixed ratio of from 1:1 to 1:20; b) one or more peptides; c) an extract obtained or obtainable from a plant of the coffea genus; d) an umami-imparting modifier, and e) one or more masking agents selected from the group consisting of fatty acids, terpenes, carbonyls, sulfur compounds, sweet browns, esters, sweeteners, lactones, juice derivatives and combinations thereof.
