Abstract
Flavor components, particularly for a vanilla composition, are produced by essentially natural methods employing biotransformation of plant-derived materials. Ferulic acid, a component of many plant cell walls, may be converted into vanillin, directly or indirectly. A plurality of such compounds may undergo bioconversions to produce components of a flavor composition.
