Abstract
A flavorant composition is prepared by hydrolyzing Trigonell foenum-graecum seed material with enzymes, heating the hydrolyzate obtained at a temperature for a time to inactivate the enzymes, centrifuging the heat-treated hydrolyzate to separate the liquid phase from the residue and isolating the liquid phase of the hydrolyzate from the hydrolyzate residue and evaporatively concentrating the isolated liquid phase. Additionally, the concentrated liquid phase may be dried, and the seed material employed may be that of germinated seeds.
