1. INTRODUCTION

I. Definition of Flavor 1. “Flavor is the sensation produced by a material taken in the mouth, perceived

principally by the senses of taste and smell, and also by the general pain, tactile, and temperature receptors in the mouth. Flavor also denotes the sum of the characteristics of the material which produces that sensation.”

2. “ Flavor is one of the three main sensory properties which are decisive in the

selection, acceptance, and ingestion of a food.” Stimulus Man Senses Response (sensory property)

taste flavor

odor food

hearing

touch texture

II. Classification of Food Flavors

Flavor Class Subdivision Representative Example Fruit flavor citrus-type flavors (terpeny) grapefruit, orange berry-type flavors (non-terpeny) apple, raspberry, banana Vegetable flavors lettuce, celery Spice flavors aromatic cinnamon, peppermint lachrymogenic onion, garlic hot pepper, ginger Beverage flavors unfermented flavors juices, milk fermented flavors wine, beer, tea compounded flavors soft drinks Meat flavors mammal flavors lean beef sea food flavors fish, clams

Fat flavors olive oil, coconut fat, pork fat, butter fat

Cooked flavors broth beef bouillon vegetable legume, potatoes fruit marmalade Processed flavors smoky flavors ham broiled, fried flavors processed meat products

roasted, toasted, baked flavors coffee, snack foods, processed cereals

Stench flavors cheese

III. Scope of Flavor Chemistry 1. Chemical compounds responsible for food flavor 1) Even distribution: Brandy 2) Star compound: A star compound can not be identical to the total true flavor but is

close and can not produce the true flavor without the star compound.

their formation. 2. To retard or prevent the development of the off-flavors in foods. reversion flavor in soybean oil hexenal, 2-pentyl furan ( they are resulted from polyunsaturated triglycerides,

i.e.: linolenate, linoleate ) 3. To restore the fresh flavor to a processed food 4. To improve the flavor of food by the addition of synthetic flavor. 5. To produce new foods with special flavor such as potato chip flavor. 6. To improve flavor by the acceleration of reactions which produce desirable flavor compound (onion flavor: pH 5~7). 7. To assist geneticist to breed food raw material with improved flavor compounds or flavor precursors. 8. To specify raw material and to control quality of food products.

I. Introduction of Spectrometric Analyses The study how the sample interacts with different wavelenghts in a given region of electromagnetic radiation is called spectroscopy or spectrochemical analysis. The collection of measurements signals (absorbance) as a function of electromagnetic radiation is called a spectrum.

Energy Absorption

The mechanism of absorption energy is different in the Ultraviolet, Infrared, and Nuclear magnetic resonance regions. However, the fundamental process is the absorption of certain amount of energy. The energy required for the transition from a state of lower energy to a state of higher energy is directly related to the frequency of electromagnetic radiation that causes the transition.

II. Ultra Violet Spectrometry The absorption of ultraviolet radiation by molecules is dependent upon the electronic structure of the molecule. So the ultraviolet spectrum is called electronic spectrum.

Electronic Excitation

The absorption of light energy by organic compounds in the visible and ultraviolet region involves the promotion of electrons in σ, π, and n-orbitals from the ground state to higher energy states (This is also called Energy Transition). These higher energy states are molecular orbitals called antibonding.

III. Infrared Spectrometry

Radiation energy in the infrared region is absorbed by the organic compound and converted into

energy of molecular vibration.

The energy absorption pattern thus obtained is commonly referred to as an infrared spectrum which

has the plot of intensity of radiation absorption versus wavelength of absorption.

Magnetic Properties of Nuclei Nuclei of certain atoms posses a mechanical spin or angular momentum. The total angular momentum

depends on the nuclear spin or spin number (spin quantum number) I.

The numerical value of the spin number ( I ) is related to the mass number and the atomic number.

Each proton and neutron has its own spin and I is a result of these spins.

Mass Number Atomic Number Spin Number

Odd Even or odd 1/2, 3/2, 5/2,---- Even Even 0 Even Odd 1, 2, 3, ---

The magnetic nucleus may assume any one of ( 2 I + 1) orientations with respect to the directions of

the applied magnetic field.

Therefore, a proton (1/2) will be able to assume only one of two possible orientations that correspond

to energy levels of + or -µ H in an applied magnetic field, where H is the strength of the external

magnetic field.

If proper v is introduced, the Wo will be resonance with the properly applied radio frequency (Hi) and

the proton will absorb the applied frequency and will be raised to the high spin (energy) state.

Even though the external magnetic field strength (Ho) applied to the molecule is the same, the actual

magnetic field strength exerted to the protons of the molecule are different if the protons are in the

different electronic chemical environment.

Chemical Shift The difference in the absorption frequency of a particular proton of the samp

absorption frequency (position) of a reference proton.

The protons at the electron rich environments (strong electonegaticve molecu

oxygen and halogens) will feel less external magnetic field strength because

strength generated by electrons surrounding the proton will counteract the ap

field strength (Ho), which can be said deshielded proton.

Therefor, the Wo of the protons in the electron rich chemical environments w

V. Mass Spectrometry

Definition A mass spectrometer bombards a substance under investigation with an electron beam and

quantitatively records the result as a spectrum of positive ion fragments. This record is a Mass

Spectrum. A mass spectrum is a presentation of the masses of the positively charged fragments vs.

their relative concentration. Separation of the positive charge ion fragment is on the basis of mass.

(Mass/Charge)

Essential Features of Mass Spectrometer (1) Sample Inlet System

Page 65: Flavor Chemistry820

65

a) GC inlet system - The samples separated by gas chromatography are introduced into the ion

source of mass spectrometer.

b) Heated expansion reservoir - Pure liquid and gas samples are conveniently injected by syringe

into the all glass heated expansion reservoir and leaked into the ion source of mass

spectrometer through a vernier value

- Temp. 250°C at 10-2 Torr.

c) Direct Introduction Probe (DIP) - Solids and viscous liquids are introduced directly into the

ion source of the mass spectrometer by the direct introduction probe. The sample is placed in a

glass capillary and gently heated to produce the required vapor pressure without thermal

decomposition.

(2) Ion Source (Ionization Chamber)

The stream of vaporized sample molecules from sample injection (Inlet) system entering the ion

source interact with the beam of electrons to form positive ions. The electron beam is emitted from

a hot filament.

(3) Accelerating Chambers

The positive ions are pushed out of the source by relatively small "repeller" potential, and then

accelerated by a large potential difference (1 to 10KV - a strong electrostatic field) between the

first and second accelerating slits. Small potentials can be applied to the repeller and ion focus slit

to produce a defined beam of positive ion.

(4) Analyzer (Ion Separation)

The collimated ion beam for the ion source can be separated according to the respective masses of

the ions by a variety of techniques such as magnetic deflection in a magnetic field by varying

either the magnetic field applied to the analyzer tube or the accelerating voltage between the first

and second ion slits. The mass which passes through the exit slit is dependent upon the radius (4

Page 66: Flavor Chemistry820

66

cm) of the ion path in the magnetic field, the magnetic field strength (B, gauss) and the ion

accelerating potential (V, volt) is defined by the fundamental equation:

m/e = 4.82 x 10-5 B2 r2 /v

Changing the magnetic field changes the amount of ion deflection, bringing a different m/e into

focus on the collector slit, continuously changing the magnetic field while recording the ion

signals on a strip chart and then producing a mass spectrum.

(5) Ion Collector The positive ions striking the collector produce a flow of ions proportional to the ion abundance.

The ions are amplified by an ion multiplier.

(6) Recorder The amplified ion currents (signals) are measured on a photographic paper.

Fatty Acids Molecular ion peak of a straight chain monocarboxylic acid is weak but usually discernible. The most characteristic peak (sometimes the base peak) is at m/e 60 due to McLafferty rearrangement .

Methyl - Ester of Fatty Acids The mass spectrum of a methyl - ester is very similar to that of corresponding carboxylic acid. The methyl ester is more volatile than the free fatty acids and therefore the easier to examine. m/e 74; Corresponding to the m/e 60 peak of fatty acid is usually base peak or predominant

1. Furans Furan is an example of a 6-electron heteroaromatic system. Its stability is evidenced by an intense molecular ion in the mass spectrum accounting for 25% of the total ion current. Theoretical considerations indicate that the most energetically favored bond-cleavage in the furan molecular ion is that of a carbon-oxygen bond, and it results in the ring-opened molecular ion 1a, which may then undergo electronic rearrangement to 1b. Homolytic cleavage of the C 4 - C 5 bond in 1b results in elimination is the base peak in the mass spectrum and is best formulated as the cyclopropenyl ion (1c), a stable 2 -electron aromatic system. Heterolytic cleavage of the C4-C5 bond in 1b would result in elimination of the cyclopropenyl radical and formation of the formyl ion 1d.

In 2-methylfuran cleavage of the O-C2 or the O-C5 bond may occur, resulting in two different ring-opened molecular ions (2a and 2b, respectively). These fragments by the progresses described for furan, giving the intense cyclopropenyl and methylcyclopropenyl ions as well as a weaker acetyl ion.

In the mass spectrum of 2-(1-pentenyl)furan, a character-impact compound of reversion flavor of soybean oil, the base ion observed at m/z 107 may be produced by the loss of CO from the parent ion with recyclization to form the cyclopentadiene radical ion which further loses a hydrogen atom forming the stable cyclopentadienyl ion (m/z 107). Alternatively, loss of CHO from the parent ion also leads to the cyclopentadienyl ion. The metastable ion observed at m/z 84.2 confirms that the m/z 107 ion is the daughter ion of m/z 136.

• The cleavage processes of pyridines substituted with higher alkyl groups can be classified in three categories.

4. MANUFACTURE OF FOOD FLAVOR I. Natural or Imitation Flavor 1) Price 2) Availability of raw material 3) Permissibility under current legislation (toxicity test) 4) Type of end product in which the flavoring is to be used II. Problems of Using Natural Flavors 1) Many natural flavor have low intensity, it should be used at a high dosage which results in an unsatisfactory texture and poor stability. 2) Concentration of natural flavors is usually accompanied by significant changes in the flavor profile. 3) Natural flavors exhibit variations in strength and quality. 4) The supply of natural materials is becoming uncertain. 5) Most natural flavors are unstable and undergo changes during postharvest handling, processing or storage. 6) Many natural products contain enzyme systems which may result in the formation of off-notes. 7) The toxicity of many natural products has yet to be established. III. Disadvantages of Using Imitation Flavors 1) Original natural flavor more subtle imitation flavor maybe described as “chemical” 2) Difficulties in “labeling” 3) Many natural flavors have a built in reservoir of flavor precursors which can result in the generation of additional flavor imitation flavors are not. 4) Imitation flavor generally require the use of either a solvent or a carrier 5) Restriction by legislation 6) Problems with texture in the end product

Page 93: Flavor Chemistry820

93

IV. Advantage of Imitation Flavor 1) Cheaper than natural flavor 2) Stable 3) Can be design to withstand severe processing condition 4) Can be produced in a variety of forms ( e.g., alcohol-based, oil-based, or encapsulated powders ) 5) Generally readily available 6) Consistency of quality

Page 94: Flavor Chemistry820

V. Methods in Synthetic Flavor Reconstitution 1) Scientific Approach

Isolation of flavor concentrate

Separation of components

Identification Quantitative GC analysis

Synthesis

Scientifically reconstituted formulation (correct until GC identical )

Organoleptically adjusted formulation

Process and product development

1) Application 2) Physical formulation 3) Synthetic process development

Manufacture and end use in consumer product

Page 95: Flavor Chemistry820

95

Limitations a. Some compounds decompose or do not come out of GC b. Wide variety of flavor threshold (Some compounds can not be identified. 2) Organoleptic Approach

Example Smell-taste analysis of food or flavor concentrate Blue cheese Resolution into subjective arbitrary Buttery, fatty, moldy quality components 1 buttery, 5 fatty, 3 moldy Assigning of rough intensity value to each quality component Diacetyl, methyl nonyl Association of quality components ketone, methyl amyl ketone with known flavor Formulation of reconstituted flavor 0.3% diacetyl 5% methyl nonyl ketone 1% methyl amyl ketone Same steps as in scientific reconstitution Limitations a. labeling b. toxicity c. no precursor d. an artistic craft rather than science

4. Enzymatic lipid oxidation (Lipoxygenase)

Detrimental effects.

a. Destruction of the essential fatty acids.

b. The free radicals produced damage other compounds including vitamins and

proteins.

c. Development of off-flavor and odor in beans and peas ! a hay-like flavor.

Specificity of Lipoxygenase

- a cis, cis-Penta-1,4-Diene Unit (-CH=CH-CH2-CH=CH-)

- Methylene group of the Penta-1,4-Diene Unit to be in the ω-8 position.

Mechanism of Action 1. The enzyme forms a stereospecific complex with the unsaturated fatty acid.

2. The enzyme abstracts either an electron or a hydrogen atom stereospecifically

from the ω-8 position producing a free radical at ω-8 of the fatty acid.

3. While still attached to the enzyme, the fatty acid free radical isomerizes to place

the unshared electron at ω-8 causing conjugation and isomerization of the double

bond.

4. O2 reacts with the free radical at ω-6 to give a peroxy free radical.

5. A hydrogen from the medium forms the hydroperoxide which then dissociates

from the enzyme.

7. Mushroom Volatiles Edible mushroom like Agaricus Bisporus produce 1-octen-3-ol, 3-octanol, 2-octen-1-ol and 1-octen-3one as volatile constituents.1-octen-3-ol possesses a mushroom-like aroma and is known as “mushroom alcohol”. Tressel et al. investigated the enzymic conversion of linoleic and liolenic acids into C8 and C10 components by mushrooms. They proposed the presence of ahydroperoxide cleavage enzyme for the cleavage of 13- and 9-hydroperoxide into C8 and C10 components. Following figure shows the scheme proposed by Tressl for the formation of mushroom volatiles.

6. DAIRY PRODUCTS FLAVOR

1. Milk Flavor 1. Oxidized flavor Cardboard: due to some lactones Metallic: vinyl methyl ketone Oily: oct-1-ene-3-one Tallowy: 2t, 6t-nonadienal Preventive method

a. Avoid cupric iron and ferric ion b. Elimination of oxygen pack under vacuum or nitrogen c. Avoid light

Better quality milk, less bacteria, more susceptible to oxidized flavor. The bacteria can either using up the available oxygen or generate antioxidant compounds. 2. Rancid flavor Hydrolysis of triglycerides by lipase. The lipase are present in the aqueous phase of the milk at the time of secretion. Any process which alter the membrane, such as homogenization, agitation, and warming and cooling will accelerate the rancidity. 3. Heated flavor 1) General Pasteurization induces heated flavor.

Now people are used to Pasteurization and consider it as the flavor of normal milk. Cooked flavor is the off-flavor induced by temp. above 75 oC beyond the

pasteurization. Too much heat will develop caramelized flavor.

flavor compounds during processing, storage and mastication. 2) Critical in a. the determination of appropriate flavor blend added to food b. the choice of methods for dispersing flavor compounds c. the selection of appropriate flavor compounds carriers d. the determination of improved conditions for efficient drying of flavored foods e. the minimization of flavor compounds loss. 3) Important in the determination of how to maximize flavor impact and minimize

cost. 7. Effects of selective binding on flavor perception The selective binding of one flavor compound of a blend to food components or packaging material can markedly alter the overall flavor impact. Binding limits its volatilization and diffusion and hence impairs its immediate perception as a components of an overall flavor when food is taken into the mouth. 8. Factors affecting partition coefficients 1) Temperature 2) The presence of soluble solutes and nonsoluble materials 3) Diffusion rates in the aqueous phase 4) Physical retention of flavor compound Air-Water Partition Coefficients for Homologous Series of Ketones and Aldehydes at 25oC

III. Effects and Interactions of Carbohydrates with Flavor Compounds 1. Soluble sugars increase the vapor pressures of volatile compounds. 2. Polysaccharides stabilize flavor compounds in foods during processing due to

entrapment, adsorption, reduced mass transport effects due to increased viscosity. 3. Cellulose adsorbs flavor compounds in intramolecular region. 4. Amylose forms inclusion complexes with aliphatic flavor compounds which fit

inside the amylose helix. 5. The association constants with starch were 383, 930 and 2277 for limonene,

methanol and decanal, respectively.

IV. Effects and Interactions of Proteins with Flavor Compounds 1. The binding capacity of protein depends upon the surface topography, porosity,

and bulk density. 2. Proteins bind aldehydes and ketones to differing extents, indicating differences in

intrinsic binding affinities, structural features of the protein, differences in available surface area.

3. The Mechanisms of Flavor Compounds Interaction with Protein 1) Scatchard equation v/[L] = nK-vK v is the number of moles of flavor compounds bound per mole of protein. L is the molar concentration of flavor compounds. n is the total number of binding sites. K is the intrinsic binding constant. Plot of v/L vs. v gives a slope of -K and intercept on nK.

Summary 1. Several mechanisms are involved in interaction of flavor compounds with food

components. 2. In lipid system, solubilization and rates of partitioning control the interactions

and partition coefficients, thus determine-s the rates of release. 3. In polysaccharide system, polysaccharides interact with flavor compounds by

nonspecific adsorption and formation of inclusion compounds. 4. In protein system, protein involves adsorption, specific binding, entrapment,

covalent binding and these mechanisms may account for the retention of flavor compounds.

5. Moisture affects diffusion and partition coefficients and macromolecular structures in the case of protein and polysaccharides and thereby affect the rate of release of flavor compound.
