4-Hydroxy-5-methyl-2,3-dihydrofuranone-3 is obtained by heating a solution with pH between 1 and 7 of a 5-ketoaldohexonic acid or a derivative thereof in a polar solvent at a temperature of 70 °C to 150 °C. The 5-keto- aldohexonic acid is preferably 5-ketogluconic acid.
Meat flavours are obtained by heating the 5-keto-aidohexonic acid unter the same conditions in the presence of a hydrogen sulphide donor like e.g. cysteine. This reaction product may be incorporated into foodstuffs. Also a process of modifying the organoleptic properties of a foodstuff or an ingredient for a foodstuff having a pH between 5 and 7 before consumption and which has to be heated at least 15 minutes to at least 70 °C by incorporating from 30 to 2000 ppm of a 5-keto-aidohexonic acid is described.
4-羟基-5-甲基-
2,3-二氢呋喃酮-3 是通过在极性溶剂中加热 pH 值介于 1 和 7 之间的 5-酮基-aldohexonic 酸或其衍
生物溶液,在 70 °C 至 150 °C 的温度下得到的。5-Keto-aldohexonic acid 最好是 5-Ketogluconic acid。
在有
硫化氢供体(如半胱
氨酸)存在的情况下,在相同条件下加热 5-酮基-aldohexonic 酸,可获得肉味香精。这种反应产物可以加入食品中。此外,还介绍了一种通过加入 30 至 2000 ppm 的 5-酮-副
己酸来改变食品或食品配料的感官特性的工艺,这种食品或食品配料在食用前的 pH 值在 5 至 7 之间,必须加热至少 15 分钟至至少 70 °C。
