Popcorn was popped conventionally in oil and in a microwave
oven without oil. Volatile components were collected by condensation
of popper headspace gases and by vacuum steam distillation of
a slurry of ground, popped corn in distilled water. The organic
compounds were extracted from the aqueous condensate and vacuum
distillate...
Numerous investigations have been made on the contribution of
butter cultures to the flavor of cultured cream butter, but production
of uniform cultured cream butter has not been possible in industry.
Therefore, it was desirable to investigate in detail the qualitative
and quantitative chemistry of the flavor of high quality...
The unique flavor of high quality Swiss cheese is difficult to
reproduce in commercial market cheese. Swiss cheese flavor has
never been duplicated or thoroughly understood. New techniques and
advances in flavor research have enabled better definition and understanding
of food flavors. Therefore, it was desirable to make a detailed...
Numerous attempts have been made to identify the flavor
compounds in Blue cheese, however, duplication of Blue cheese
flavor has not yet been accomplished. Therefore, it was desirable
to make a qualitative and quantitative investigation of Blue
cheese flavor compounds and to study the effect of certain microorganisms
on Blue...
Increasing interest has been shown in the irradiation sterilization
and irradiation pasteurization of foods, but problems of off-flavors
and odors are still unsolved, especially in the case of dairy products.
From the flavor chemistry point of view, milk lipids are very highly
susceptible to irradiation effects. Therefore, this investigation was...
Deterioration of the flavor of sterilized concentrated milk (SCM)
is recognized as the principal limiting factor to commercial acceptance
of this product. Although a number of volatile compounds have
been identified in SCM, quantitative information on these compounds
is lacking. It is therefore difficult to ascertain the significance of
these...
Malonaldehyde, a very reactive member of the homologous
series of dialdehydes, is associated with the autoxidative deterioration
of lipids. Its measurement, in autoxidized lipid systems is an
expression of the extent of oxidation, in lipids. Malonaldehyde lends
itself well to such determinations because of the sensitivity and
specificity of its...
