Natural methional for savoury flavour development
Natural methional brings a distinctive potato and vegetable character to flavour briefs. Riverside Aromatics’ odour profile also includes earthy, tomato and creamy nuances, making it a useful material to consider when building cooked vegetable and savoury profiles.
The chemistry behind cooked-potato aroma
Methional is also known as 3-(methylthio)propanal. Research on potato flavour identifies it as a key aroma compound that can form from the amino acid methionine through Strecker degradation. This connection helps explain its familiar cooked-potato character.
