Acetic acid flavoring agent

The composition of the defensive spray is 84% acetic acid, which we have already met, 5% octanoic acid, an eight-carbon acid, and 11% water. An 84% solntion of acetic acid in water is pretty strong stnff vinegar is abont a 5-10% solntion of acetic acid in water, plus some flavoring agents. Unlike acetic acid, octanoic acid is qnite hydrophobic (that is, water-hating and poorly water-soluble), thanks to its long hydrocarbon tail ...

Simulated Vinegar One way to make vinegar (not the preferred way) is to prepare a solution of acetic acid, the sole acid component of vinegar, at the proper pH (see Fig. 2-15) and add appropriate flavoring agents. Acetic acid (Mr 60) is a liquid at 25 °C, with a density of 1.049 g/mL. Calculate the volume that must be added to distilled water to make 1 L of simulated vinegar (see Fig. 2-16). 

Since the enolization is not restricted to the 2 and 3 positions, a number of products are formed that undergo subsequent aldol condensations and the Cannizzaro oxidation. They are all 2-hydroxy-3-methyl, 3,4-dimethyl-2-hydroxy, 3,5-dimethyl-2-hydroxy, and 3-ethyl-2-hydroxy-2-cyclopenten-l-ones sugar acids acetic acid hydroxyacetone three isomeric hydroxy-2-butanones y-butyrolactone and such furan derivatives as furyl alcohol, 5-methyl-2-furyl alcohol, and 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone. They are food flavoring agents. 

In carcass decontamination dilute solutions of organic acids (1-3%) normally do not have any effect on the sensory properties of meat. However, it is known that lactic and acetic acid can produce unfavorable sensory changes if applied directly to meat cuts, which may be irreversible. Salts of organic acids are approved for use as food ingredients such as emulsifiers, color and flavor enhancers, and humectants. They are also used to enhance the quality of cooked or cured meat products and to control the pH (Smulders and Greer, 1998). Sodium lactate is approved for use as (1) a flavor enhancer, (2) humectant, and (3) pH control agent (Lemay et al., 2002).

Bal Ischmiester and Dereksen ( ) reported nine alcohols isolated from a steam distillate of peanuts. Brown et al. (62) resolved extracts from roasted peanuts into various fractions via classical chemical techniques. A number of acids were found, including acetic, propionic, isobuyric, isovaleric, valeric, heptanoic, decanoic, lauric, myristic, phenylacetic, and dihy-droxynapthaleneacetic. Carbonyl compounds reported were hexanal, 2, 4-decadienal, and 2-oxooctanal. Tentative evidence was presented for aliphatic lactones, which are powerful flavoring agents. 

The presence of indole or an indole derivative in a food is not always desirable. Some white wines develop an off-flavor described as ...floor polish like... within a few months of storage [33]. The chemical responsible for this unpleasant flavor was identified as 2-aminoacetophenone 16 in 1993 [34]. Reported in a series of papers over the next 10 years, researchers traced the ultimate source of this agent to indole-3-acetic acid 15 that was present in the grapes before harvesting Indole-3-acetic acid itself is derived from another indole L-tryptophan. The proposed mechanism for this transformation is shown in Scheme 14 [35]. 

Acetic acid INS No 260, FW 60.05 Chem. name ethanoic acid. The preservation of foods with acetic acid is an old technique that dates back to centuries. It is the main acid of vinegar and constitutes approximately 4%. It can be produced by fermentation or also by the oxidation of acetaldehyde, methanol, and carbon dioxide. The functional uses are as an acidifler and flavoring agent. The ADI is not limited for acetic acid and for its potassium and sodium salts [46], Potassium, sodium, and calcium salts of acetic acid are commonly used.
