Solid composition containing linalool, geraniol, and dextrin and food and drinks containing same

A solid composition comprises dimethyl sulfide and dextrin. The solid composition includes dimethyl sulfide in an amount of at least 2.1 μg per gram of the solid composition (2.1 μg/g). The dextrin present in the composition has a molecular weight of 50,000 or more. The solid composition comprises linear dextrin and cyclic dextrin, wherein the cyclic dextrin is one or more cyclodextrin(s) selected from the group consisting of α-cyclodextrin and γ-cyclodextrin.

Solid composition containing dimethyl sulfide and dextrin

An object of the present invention is to provide a solid composition that provides floral aroma when added to a medium such as water. The solid composition comprises linalool, geraniol, and 2-methylbutanal, and has a weight ratio of 2-methylbutanal content to total linalool and geraniol content which is adjusted to be in the range of from 0.015 to 0.215.

Solid composition having floral scent

An object of the present invention is to provide an aromatizing material having excellent floral aroma. The tea aroma composition including linalool, geraniol, and 2-methylbutanal, and has a weight ratio of 2-methylbutanal content to total linalool and geraniol content which is adjusted to be in the range of from 0.010 to 0.215.

Tea aromatizing composition having floral aroma

An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a tea aroma composition wherein the excellent aroma of tea leaves is enhanced. In the method for producing a tea aroma composition, tea leaves are treated by steam distillation to collect a distillate and then the obtained distillate is subjected to distillative concentration.
