METHOD FOR PRODUCING FLAVORING AGENT, AND FLAVORING AGENT
The problem to be solved of the present invention is to provide a method which can efficiently and economically produce a flavoring agent and can give the original flavor of a raw material to a food and drink. The objective of the present invention is also to provide a flavoring agent. The method for producing a flavoring agent according to the present invention is characterized in comprising the steps of mixing a flavor material with a solvent and extracting a flavor component contained in the fragrant material under pressure; wherein a solubility parameter of the solvent is not less than 8.0 and not more than 25.0.
1 . A method for producing a flavoring agent,
comprising the steps of mixing a flavor material with a solvent and extracting a flavor component contained in the flavor material under pressure;
wherein a solubility parameter of the solvent is not less than 8.0 and not more than 25.0.
2 . The method for producing a flavoring agent according to claim 1 , wherein the solvent is at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of water, an alcohol solvent, a ketone solvent and an ester solvent.
3 . The method for producing a flavoring agent according to claim 2 , wherein the solvent is a mixed solvent containing the alcohol solvent or the ketone solvent in addition to water.
4 . The method for producing a flavoring agent according to claim 2 , wherein the solvent is at least one solvent selected from the group consisting of ethanol, propylene glycol and triacetin.
5 . The method for producing a flavoring agent according to claim 1 , wherein the flavor component is extracted under pressure at not less than 0° C. and not more than 100° C.
6 . The method for producing a flavoring agent according to claim 1 , wherein the flavor material is at least one selected from the group consisting of a seasoning spice, a flavor vegetable, a fruit, a mushroom, a nut, a seaweed, a tea and a meat.
7 . The method for producing a flavoring agent according to claim 1 , further comprising the step of filtering the extract under pressure after the extraction step.
8 . A flavoring agent obtained by the production method according to claim 1 .
9 . A food or a drink comprising the flavoring agent according to claim 8 .
10 . A flavor product comprising the flavoring agent according to claim 8 .
11 . The method for producing a flavoring agent according to claim 2 , wherein the flavor component is extracted under pressure at not less than 0° C. and not more than 100° C.
12 . The method for producing a flavoring agent according to claim 3 , wherein the flavor component is extracted under pressure at not less than 0° C. and not more than 100° C.
13 . The method for producing a flavoring agent according to claim 4 , wherein the flavor component is extracted under pressure at not less than 0° C. and not more than 100° C.
14 . The method for producing a flavoring agent according to claim 2 , wherein the flavor material is at least one selected from the group consisting of a seasoning spice, a flavor vegetable, a fruit, a mushroom, a nut, a seaweed, a tea and a meat.
15 . The method for producing a flavoring agent according to claim 3 , wherein the flavor material is at least one selected from the group consisting of a seasoning spice, a flavor vegetable, a fruit, a mushroom, a nut, a seaweed, a tea and a meat.
16 . The method for producing a flavoring agent according to claim 4 , wherein the flavor material is at least one selected from the group consisting of a seasoning spice, a flavor vegetable, a fruit, a mushroom, a nut, a seaweed, a tea and a meat.
17 . The method for producing a flavoring agent according to claim 5 , wherein the flavor material is at least one selected from the group consisting of a seasoning spice, a flavor vegetable, a fruit, a mushroom, a nut, a seaweed, a tea and a meat.
18 . The method for producing a flavoring agent according to- claim 2 , further comprising the step of filtering the extract under pressure after the extraction step.
19 . The method for producing a flavoring agent according to- claim 3 , further comprising the step of filtering the extract under pressure after the extraction step.
