Topic: Flavouring


  
  Flavouring - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Flavourings can be either natural or artificial, and they are added to many foods made in a factory.
Flavour enhancers are also used to augment the taste of foods.
The compounds used to produce artificial flavours are almost identical to those that occur naturally, and a natural origin for a substance does not necessarily imply that it is safe to consume.

 Canadian Food Inspection Agency - Feed Section - Registration Requirements of Flavouring Agents - Trade Memo - ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
Single flavouring ingredients must be approved by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) prior to their use in livestock feeds.
Flavouring agents are generally made up of flavouring ingredients and facilitating agents and are present in feed at very low levels.
Flavouring agents submitted at the time of renewal with a change in formulation will necessitate the fee of $304.95 for the registration of the new formulation in addition to the renewal fees.

One flavouring substance, 5-methyl-3-heptanone, may potentially be oxidised to a neurotoxic gamma-diketone, but a NOAEL for this substance could be established which provided a large margin of safety in relation to the estimated level of intake of the flavouring substance.
Therefore it was considered that on the basis of the default MSDI approach these 35 flavouring substances would not give rise to safety concerns at the estimated levels of intake arising from their use as flavouring substances.
For the 12 flavouring substances from structural class II the mTAMDI range from 1423 to 1563 microgram/person/day, which are all above the threshold of concern for structural class II of 540 microgram/person/day.

It is anticipated that five of the six flavouring substances (alpha-diketones and a related ketal, hydroxyketones and diols) undergo efficient metabolic detoxification.
One flavouring substance, pentan-2,4-dione [FL-no: 07.191], is genotoxic in vitro and in vivo.
Concerning the five other flavouring substances, the number of genotoxicty studies which can be considered as valid is very limited, however, the data which are available for some structurally related substances do not give rise to safety concern with respect to genotoxicity.

Nonalcoholic flavouring extracts are prepared by employing glycerol or propylene glycol or a combination of these to bring the essential oil into solution, with added water, and sometimes food colour.
Flavourings are prepared from essential oils, such as almond and lemon; from vanilla; from fresh fruits by expression; from ginger by extraction; from mixtures of essential oils and synthetic organic chemicals; or entirely from synthetic chemicals, with alcohol,...
The flavour of food results from the stimulation of the chemical senses of taste and smell by specific food molecules.

To establish a Community procedure leading to the adoption of a positive list of defined chemical flavouring substances which can be used in foodstuffs, ensuring high levels of consumer health protection and preventing the different national laws from hindering the free movement of foodstuffs.
In order for the flavouring substances on the register to be included in the definitive list of authorised substances they must comply with the general use criteria given in the Annex to the Regulation (e.g.
In order for a new flavouring substance not included on the register to be used the Commission, assisted by the regulatory committee, will have to decide on its inclusion in the evaluation programme and, later, on the definitive list.

 ARCHIVE - FOOD SURVEILLANCE INFORMATION SHEETS
Flavourings are materials which are used to impart taste (excluding saltiness, sweetness or sourness) or odour, or both, to a food but which are not intended to be consumed as such.
The most common types of natural flavouring preparations are: essential oils, produced mainly by distillation or mechanical pressing; water or alcohol extracts known as infusions and tinctures respectively; and oleoresins, produced by solvent extraction and subsequent evaporation.
Results for the natural flavouring source materials analysed are presented in Table 1 and those for natural flavouring preparations are summarised in Table 2.

 FSAI - Legislation - Flavourings
The general framework Directive (88/388/EEC)requires that flavourings used in the manufacture or preparation of foodstuffs comply with the conditions of the Directive.
Definitions are given for different types of flavourings, such as natural, natural-identical or artificial flavouring substances, flavouring preparations of plant or animal origin and process flavourings which evolve flavour after heating and smoke flavourings.
With respect to flavouring substances, a major initiative is underway to develop a list of flavouring substances approved for the use in foodstuffs.

 HYDROXY- AND ALKOXY-SUBSTITUTED BENZYL DERIVATIVES (JECFA Food Additives Series 48)
The remaining 10 flavouring agents (Nos 887, 888, 892–896, 953, 954, and 960) are ethyl vanillin or piperonal derivatives that contain either an ethoxy or a methylene dioxy substituent.
In the unlikely event that all 36 flavouring agents in structural class I were consumed on a daily basis, the estimated combined intake would exceed the human intake threshold (1800 µg/person per day).
The (appropriate) use of this measured proportion of eaters in place of the default assumption of 10% yields an estimated intake of methyl salicylate of 0.1 mg/kg bw, which is less than the current ADI of 0–0.5 mg/kg bw.

 TECHNICAL REPORTS 1998 - YEAST
The flavour is held in microscopic capsules made either of food-approved polymers, or proteins such as gelatin.
The liquid flavour is added to the capsule by spray drying, a heat intensive, and therefore costly process.
Dr Nelson estimates that by using yeast encapsulated flavours, many manufacturers could cut levels of flavour additives to between one fifth to one tenth of the amount currently used and still get the same flavour intensity.

It made a big difference to the flavour of the finished smoke it took away the lemony taste of the northern lights and replaced it with a sweetness that made itvery smooth.
For me however the flavour is one of the key addictions and an artificial flavour would surely detract from the experience.
We did read in a magazine about adding fruit to the top of the pots and watering through it for the last 2 weeks of flowering but that was all the info, there was meant to be more in the next issue but the mag got busted and shut down.

 Alicyclic Ketones, Secondary Alcohols and Related Esters (JECFA Food Additives Series 50)
The combined intake of flavouring agents in class II is 54 and 26 mg per person per day in Europe and the USA, respectively.
In the unlikely event that all the flavouring agents in structural class I or II were to be consumed concurrently on a daily basis, the estimated combined intake would not exceed the threshold for human intake of either class.
This conclusion is based on the high incidence of spontaneous hepatocellular neoplasms (adenomas and carcinomas) in the strain of mice studied, the absence of a dose–response relationship, the lack of hepatocellular neoplastic effects in rats and the relatively high doses administered, as compared with intake levels from use as a flavour ingredient.
