Abstract

A allium flavored flour as well as to a method of making a flavored flour dough product. The allium flavored flour comprises flour and allium oil capsules formed by protein coacervation. The allium oil capsules are heat-stable and fracturable, and are added in an amount sufficient for flavoring when the flour is formed into a dough. Because the allium oil capsules are heat-stable, the allium oil does not affect the rheology of the dough during dough processing, baking or cooking and because the capsules are fracturable on chewing, the dough product provides a uniform and sustained allium flavor when eaten. The flavored flour or dough product further includes free allium material in an amount sufficient to reduce the mix time required to develop the dough and may be combined with the oil capsules in a customized blend to provide the desired level of flavor and affect on dough rheology.
