Flavour character and applications
Evaluate methionol in soup, stock, cooked vegetable and meat flavour compositions where sweet and sulphurous nuances are useful. Its sweet soup and meat flavour profile can complement other savoury ingredients. Assess the finished blend in the intended matrix and after processing.
A note from flavour chemistry
Yeast research has shown that methionol can be formed from methionine through the Ehrlich pathway, which converts amino acids into flavour alcohols. This offers a link between amino-acid metabolism and the sulphurous notes found in fermented-food aroma.
