Conclusions
The results indicate that during frying of chicken
liver a variety of compounds are formed that contrib-
ute to the overall roasty flavor of fried liver. Different
classes of molecules are formed during the heating
process and several reaction types can be observed,
such as dehydration, decarboxylation, aldol conden-
sation, oxidation, Strecker degradation and Maillard
reaction. Mostly acids, ketones, aldehydes, alcohols,
pyridines, thiazolidines, thiazolines, furans and
pyrrols were identified.
In order to evaluate the most important con-
tributors for the typical roast flavor, the extract was
analyzed by trained flavorists using GC-olfactometry.

johnwrightflavorist@gmail.com t rans-2-Octenal (FEMA# 3215, CAS# 2548-87-0) has an extremely
powerful fatty character, but it also has a subtle hint of the fruity
green apple note that dominates the profile of the lower unsaturated
aldehydes, such as trans-2-hexenal. This interesting combination of odor
characteristics does not reduce its effectiveness in the wide range of flavors
that can make obvious use of an overtly fatty note, but it does make it very
effective in an unusually diverse range of less obvious flavors.
Note that the dose rates given throughout this article are the levels sug-
gested for use in flavors intended to be dosed at 0.05% in ready-to-drink
beverages or in a simple bouillon.

Bacon: The brightness and sheer power of this raw material make it
especially effective when set in competition with some of the bacon sulfur
notes, giving an attractive fatty character at around 200 ppm.

popular category than the amines. They are amazingly pungent
and difficult to use. Trimethylamine is far and away the most
popular, probably used more than all other amines combined,
but it is not necessarily always the best choice. The biggest challenge
posed by trimethylamine is its very high volatility. In many applications,
it boils off entirely and it is very difficult to judge the right level to add
to even the least challenging end products. Higher molecular weight
amines reduce this problem, but there is a trade-off. They lose some of
the bright fishy note and gain a distinctly unattractive musty nuance.
There are a dozen obvious alternatives to trimethylamine and it is worth
looking at each in turn.
Note that the dose rates given throughout this article are the levels
suggested for use in flavors intended to be dosed at 0.05% in ready-to-drink
