Snack foods flavoring ingredients

With today s busy lifestyles, tree nuts are convenient, tasty, nutritious, and easy snack that contribute to a healthy lifestyle. They are typically consumed as whole nuts (either raw or roasted or salted) or used as ingredients in a variety of processed foods, especially in spreads, bakery, and confectionary products, among others. Tree nnt oils, in particular hazelnut oil, are also used for several purposes such as cooking, salad dressings, and flavoring ingredients, among others [3-6]. In addition, tree nut oils (particularly hazelnut oil) are also components of some skin moisturizers and cosmetic products [7]. 

With the introduction of commercial fungal proteolytic enzyme complexes, it is possible to produce protein hydrolysates with fewer undesired by-products, resulting in new opportunities and new products for savory ingredient manufacturers. Food ingredients like savory flavors and enhancers are important in the manufacture of soups, sauces, ready-to-eat meals, and snacks [99].
