Claims
- 1. A product of a process comprising heating a material selected from a group consisting of at least one fat, one oil and mixtures thereof in form of a liquid pool to a temperature of from 300 l.degree. C. to 475.degree. C. while introducing oxygen into the heated liquid pool of material and collecting at least one of differing volatile fractions evolved over differing periods of time from the heated pool of material to thereby obtain flavorant products.
- 2. A product of the process according to claim 1 wherein the oxygen is introduced by bubbling air into the heated liquid pool of material at a rate of from 10 ml/min to 5000 ml/min per 100 gm of the heated pool of material.
- 3. A product of the process according to claim 1 further comprising stirring the heated liquid pool of material.
- 4. A product of the process according to claim 1 wherein differing volatile fractions are collected by a cold trap and by a cold water trap.
- 5. A product of the process according to claim 1 wherein differing volatile fractions are collected by a condenser and by a cold water trap.
- 6. A product of the process according to claim 1 wherein the liquid pool of material is heated to a temperature of from 310.degree. C. to 400.degree. C. for a period of from 1 minute to 6 hours.
- 7. A product of the process according to claim 1 further comprising combining at least two of the collected volatile fractions.
- 8. A product of the process according to claim 4 further comprising collecting water collected in the cold water trap.
- 9. A product of the process according to claim 5 further comprising collecting water collected in the cold water trap.
- 10. A product of the process according to claim 1 further comprising mixing at least one collected volatile fraction with a carrier.
- 11. A product of the process according to claim 10 wherein the at least one collected volatile fraction is in the form selected from a group consisting of a solution and an emulsion and is mixed with the carrier and further comprising spray drying the mixture.
- 12. A product of the process according to claim 10 wherein the at least one collected volatile fraction is mixed with the carrier in an amount of from 2.5% to 50% by weight based upon the weight of the at least one collected fraction and the carrier.
- 13. A product of the process according to claim 1 further comprising fatty acids in admixture with the material to be heated.
- 14. A product of the process according to claim 1 further comprising sulphur-containing compounds in admixture with the material to be heated.
- 15. A product of the process according to claim 1 wherein the material is heated for a period of from 1 minute to 6 hours while introducing oxygen by bubbling air into the heated liquid pool of material at a rate of from 10 ml to 5000 ml/min per 100 gm of the heated pool of material.
