Ethyl flavor release

The changes in flavor release with time (temporal release) under model mouth conditions were examined by PTRMS (Fig. 1). The maximal intensities of the compounds varied, but the time to reach this intensity did not differ significantly among the compounds. Ethyl acetate showed largest... 

Since the acetal exists in equiUbtium with the aldehyde, it is possible for the aldehyde to be released when water is added in a mixed drink, changing the balance and giving a burst of freshness to a mixed drink. Ethyl esters of terpene alcohols in citms oils and other botanicals, plus the ethyl esters of fatty and volatile acids, are formed during prolonged exposure to ethyl alcohol. Certain beverage alcohol products that need to contain milk, eggs, or other protein containing materials must be developed carefully and the added flavors must be considered to prevent the precipitation of the protein and separation of the product. 

Two replications of MS-Nose evaluations with intensity scaling for each flavor solution were conducted in the same session, using the measuring sequence water, 4 flavor solutions (H-M-L-M) water, 4 flavor solutions (L-M-H-M) water. Linalool, cit-3-hexenol, and methyl cinnamate were measured on one day ethyl butyrate and amyl acetate were measured on another day a month later. Ion chromatograms were transformed to release curves in Excel and integrated. The parameter °log(Area) of the in vivo aroma release peak was used for all analyses in this chapter, although Imax and Tmax were also obtained from the release curves. The means and standard deviations for interaction terms (flavor component presentation order) from an unbalanced analysis of variance (ANOVA) were determined for both the MS-Nose data and the panelists intensity scores. 

The two direct MS techniques, APcI-TOFMS and PTRMS, were compared for release of the five volatile flavor compounds from sunflower oil under dynamic conditions (Table 5). The proportions of the compounds determined by the two techniques did not correlate significantly (p = 0.60, p < 0.05). The spectrum obtained with APcI-TOFMS lacked a response for hexanal and resulted in a relatively high reading of ethyl acetate. The ionization in the mixture may have been affected, as can occur if one compound has a greater affinity for protons than another [selective suppression, [11]]. Measurement of different concentrations of the volatile mixture showed a decrease of specific compounds, which may indeed indicate selective suppression [4]. Nonquantitative measurements with APcI-MS may also be related to the way the APcI source is operated [12]. In APcI-TOFMS, which measures all ions simultaneously, the response for an individual compound may not have been optimal as a result of the overall optimization. PTRMS results were more similar to the GC data, with a large fraction of 2-butanone. However, the proportions of 2-heptanone and ethyl butyrate were lower with PTRMS analysis. 

At our facilities, micronization has been carried out by the SAS of three polymers used for many applications ethyl cellulose (EC], PLA, and Eudragit [52-54], EC is a versatile, organosoluble, thermoplastic, and biocompatible polymer (Fig. 22.5a]. In pharmaceuticals, EC is used to mask the taste of bitter actives, enhance the strength and appearance of tablets and capsules, and enable controlled-release formulations. In food, it is used for binding and film forming and as flavor fixatives, helping to make delicious flavors last longer. In cosmetics, it provides excellent water resistance and can be used to protect water-sensitive... 

Interactions between LAB and phenolic compounds are very complicated. Among them, the decarboxylation of hydroxycinnamic acids (caffeic, p-coumaric, and ferulic) is of particular interest in oenology (Silva et al. 2011). These acids are esterified to tartaric acid and freed by the cinnamoyl esterase by yeasts and less often by bacteria. The decarboxylation releases vinyl phenols, which are reduced to ethyl phenols producing off-flavors. The second reaction can be achieved by bacteria to maintain the redox balance however, it is mainly carried out by the spoilage yeast Brettanomyces bruxellensis, often present in wine.
