Enhancing taste of a cheddar cheese flavored foodstuff

摘要

Described is a mixed seasoning composition capable of being solubilized in water and forming a single aqueous phase comprising: (a) from about 0.25 up to about 0.80 mole percent on a dry basis of a lactic acid/lactate species mixture having the structures: <IMAGE> (b) from 0 up to about 0.09 mole percent on a dry basis of glycollic acid/glycollate ion species mixture having the structure: <IMAGE> (c) from 0 up to about 10.0 mole percent on a dry basis of magnesium ion; (d) from about 6 mole percent up to about 50 mole percent on a dry basis of a phosphate/monoacid phosphate/diacid phosphate/phosphoric acid species mixture having the formula: [PO4=]+[HPO4=]+[H2PO4-]+H3PO4 taken alone or taken further together with at least one of the species tripolyphosphate; pyrophosphate or polymetaphosphate. (e) from 0 mole percent up to about 40 mole percent on a dry basis of sodium ion; (f) from about 8 mole percent up to about 50 mole percent on a dry basis of potassium ion; (g) from about 0.3 mole percent up to about 16 mole percent on a dry basis of chloride ion; (h) from 0 mole percent up to about 30 mole percent on a dry basis of carbonate/bicarbonate/carbonic acid species mixture having the formula: [CO3=]+[HCO3-]+H2CO3 (i) from 0 mole percent up to about 2.0 mole percent on a dry basis of monobasic glutamate/dibasic glutamate/glutamic acid species mixture having the formulae: <IMAGE> + <IMAGE> + <IMAGE> + <IMAGE> and (j) from 0 up to about 0.6 mole percent on a dry basis of calcium ion; with the first proviso that the sum total of mole percent on a dry basis of sodium ion, potassium ion, magnesium ion and calcium ion is from about 48 mole percent up to about 60 mole percent; and with the second proviso that the sum total mole percent on a dry basis of carbonate/bicarbonate/carbonic acid ion species mixture having the formula: [CO332 ]+[HCO331 ]+H2CO3 taken together with the sum total moles percent on a dry basis of the phosphate/monobasic phosphate/dibasic phosphate/phosphoric acid species mixture having the formula: [PO4=]+[HPO4=]+[H2PO4-]+H3PO4 taken alone or taken further together with tripolyphosphate, pyrophosphate and/or polymetaphosphate species is from about 34 mole percent up to about 50 mole percent.
