Abstract
The present invention is concerned with a flavor concentrate containing a precursor of biacetyl, which concentrate is characterized in that it contains 0.1-99 wt. % precursor compound(s) having the following structural formula: ##STR1## in which X is ##STR2## and in which R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.5 and R.sub.6 can differ from each other or can be identical and consist of a methyl or ethyl group. It has been found that the present precursor compounds release biacetyl upon heating. By using the present precursor compounds in food products problems attached to the use of very volatile diketones in food products may be overcome.
