Abstract
Abstract A process for preparing a foodstuff having a ripe cheese flavor, which process includes introducing into a food composition a mixture of volatile cheese flavor ingredients and admixing with the food composition a mixture of free protein amino acids. A foodstuff with an improved flavor is obtained by admixing with the food composition at least three amino acids of the group consisting of glutamic acid, glycine, lysine and methionine (whereby glycine can be replaced partially or completely by alanine and/or proline). In addition, up to about 10% of other free protein amino acids may be admixed with the food composition. Specific ratios for the amino acids are given when used in combination with a blue, Cheddar or Swiss cheese flavor composition.
