Record 2 2009-01-26

English

Subject field(s)
  • Food Additives
CONT

There are many occasions when it is technologically necessary to use an imitation rather than a natural flavor and in consequence, most naturally flavorful foods have been imitated using a mixture of natural and synthetic components. A very wide range of chemicals is now available for the recreation of flavorings, although usage may be specifically restricted by legislation depending on the toxicological acceptance of the chemical ... Classification of flavoring chemicals: The joint FAO/WHO Codex Committee on Food Additives has classified flavoring substances as follows: 1. Natural flavors or flavoring substances ... 2. Nature-identical flavoring substances ... 3. Artificial flavoring substances - substances not yet identified in natural products intended for human consumption.

CONT

Artificial. Similar to imitation. It is possible to have a flavor that contains all naturals, but it must be called artificial because it has no counterpart in nature.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Additifs alimentaires
DEF

Produit chimique ayant ou non un équivalent naturel, employé, en technologie alimentaire, pour communiquer à certaines denrées une saveur particulière.

OBS

Dans cette catégorie entrent les acétates, l'acétoïne, les butyrates, l'isovalérate d'amyle, l'anéthol, le menthol, la vanilline, etc.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Aditivos alimentarios
DEF

Compuesto químico obtenido por síntesis, aún no identificado en productos de origen animal, vegetal o microbiano, utilizado en su estado primario o preparado para el consumo humano.

CONT

[Il y a] trois grandes familles d'arômes : - les substances aromatisantes naturelles n'ayant subi qu'un traitement physique [et qui] sont extraites de végétaux tels que les fruits, les fleurs, les feuilles, les racines, les graines, etc. [...] les substances aromatisantes artificielles identiques à la nature [qui] copient des molécules qui existent dans ces mêmes végétaux [et] les substances aromatisantes artificielles [...]

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Aditivos alimentarios
  • Industria alimentaria
DEF

Sustancia aromatizante obtenida por procedimientos físicos que pueden producir cambios inevitables pero no intencionales en la estructura química de los componentes del aromatizante (por ejemplo, destilación y extracción con solventes), o por procesos enzimáticos o microbiológicos, de material de origen vegetal o animal.

OBS

Las sustancias aromatizantes naturales son sustancias que están presentes de manera natural y que han sido identificadas en la naturaleza.
