improved extraction offers natural source for mushroom flavours
|
|

italian researchers have optimised the extraction of the mushroom flavour compound 1-octen-3-ol from a flower, highlighting the potential of a natural alternative. the new study, published in food chemistry, suggests 1-octen-3-ol - a compound with a ‘musty’ mushroom aroma - can be efficiently extracted from the flowering plant melittis melissophyllum subsp. melissophyllum. researchers say that an improved extraction process could lead to a new ‘rich source’ of the flavour compound. “these findings revealed that m. melissophyllum is the first example of a plant, that under appropriate conditions, may be used as a mushroom-like flavouring agent in food products.” wrote the researchers, led by sauro vittori from the university of camerino in italy. fungal flavouring the compound 1-octen-3-ol is well known for its unique fungal taste and aroma, and is widely used by the food industry as a flavouring agent. it is found in many types of fungi and mushroom, as well as certain plants from the mint family. essential oils from melittis melissophyllum l. subsp. melissophyllum, found in central italy, are known to contain a high amount of 1-octen-3-ol, with previous research suggesting the plant could be a “rich source” of the compound. however, researchers noted previously obtained high concentrations may not be a true representation of the plant’s profile – suggesting elevated temperatures, and moist conditions, may have favoured certain reactions during extraction and could have increased the yield of 1-octen-3-ol. the new study aimed to investigate the effects of extraction parameters (temperature, water addition, extraction time, particle size, sample amount, and collection time) on the production of 1-octen-3-ol from m. melissophyllum subsp. melissophyllum - in order to “maximise the yield, and to emphasise the possible application of the plant as a mushroom flavouring additive in food processing.”

\"the market is definitely pricing in that there\'s going to be a big crop,\" a european trader said. after commodities firm armajaro scooped up nearly all available tenderable cocoa at the july futures contract\'s expiry, industry players were concerned that the stockpiling could be a precursor to an even more daring speculative play on september. the july and september futures contracts are regularly vulnerable to a shortage of fresh cocoa supplies prior to the harvest in the largest producing region, west africa, in september/october.

the correct mix of rain and sunshine is vital to the development of the cocoa crop. cocoa trees need very wet weather, but they suffer when it is too overcast, because it deprives them of the sunlight they need for photosynthesis. good rains have boosted cocoa arrivals to figures to beyond last season\'s levels. they are also expected to facilitate an early harvest next season, which officially starts in october but which farmers expect to start by mid-september.

\"the outlook for (cocoa) crops is rather good and from next year we should not have more grindings than crops, which should have a stabilising effect on speculative investments,\" tanner said in an interview. \"next year, there will be around 80,000 to 100,000 tonnes surplus,\" he added..

this compares with a net loss of $2,916,000, or $0.18 in diluted loss per share, for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009. total sales in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 were $54,359,000, a 4 percent increase above sales of $52,233,000 for the same period one year ago. the sales improvement was principally due to higher sales of high quality food grade alcohol that resulted from increased output from the company\'s previously announced joint venture, illinois corn processing (icp), llc.
