The invention relates to a method of producing an onion flavour compositions, said method comprising: This method yields a shelf-stable onion flavour composition that has an intense flavour of roasted, shallow fried or deep fried onions, and that can suitably be used to impart this onion flavour to a wide variety of edible products.

Onion flavour composition and method for the preparation thereof

Provided herein is a method of producing an onion flavour composition that involves providing an onion component selected from fresh onion, dehydrated onion, and combination thereof; mixing the onion component with an onion juice concentrate having a dry matter content of 40-95 wt % in a weight ratio of 100 parts by weight of dry matter from the onion component with 120-800 parts by weight of dry matter from the onion juice concentrate to produce an onion mix; subjecting the onion mix to a heat treatment; and drying the onion mix to a water content of less than 10 wt %. This method yields a shelf-stable onion flavor composition with an intense flavor and that can be used to impart the flavor of sauteed onion to a variety of edible products.

3,6-Dimethyl-2(3H)-benzofuranone is a new, valuable flavor material. A process for its industrial-scale preparation was developed.
