First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A flavor composition for use in a food product, wherein the flavor composition comprises a peptide selected from the group consisting of pGlu-Val-Gly, pGlu-Val-Ala, pGlu-Val-Val, pGlu-Val-Leu, pGlu-Val-lle, pGlu-Val-Phe, pGlu-Val-Met, pGlu-Val-Tyr, pGlu-Val-Cys, pGlu-Val-Gln, pGlu-Val-Ser, pGlu-Val-Glu, wherein the peptide is present in the flavor composition at a concentration range of from about 0.1 ppb to about 100 ppm, and wherein the flavor composition imparts a salty taste or an umami taste in the food product. 2. A flavor composition for use in a food product, wherein the flavor composition comprises a peptide selected from the group consisting of pGlu-Gly-Ala-Ile-Phe, pGlu-Val-Leu-Leu, pGlu-Val-Val-Val and combinations thereof, wherein the peptide is present in the flavor composition at a concentration range of from about, 0.1 ppb to about 100 ppm, and wherein the flavor composition imparts a salty taste or an umami taste in the food product. 3. The flavor composition of claim 1 , wherein the peptide is from a food product source, and wherein the food product source is selected from the group consisting of cacao, wheat and soy. 4. The flavor composition of claim 1 , wherein the peptide is a synthetic peptide. 5. A food product comprising the flavor composition of claim 1 , wherein the peptide is present at a concentration of from about 0.1 to about 100 ppb of the food product. 6. A food product comprising the flavor composition of claim 1 , wherein the peptide is present at a concentration of from about 0.1 to about 100 ppt of the food product. 7. A food product comprising the flavor composition of claim 2 , wherein the peptide is present at a concentration of from about 0.1 to about 100 ppb of the food product. 8. A food product comprising the flavor composition of claim 2 , wherein the peptide is present at a concentration of from about 0.1 to about 100 ppt of the food product. 9. The flavor composition of claim 2 , wherein the peptide is from a food product source, and wherein the food product source is selected from the group consisting of cacao, wheat and soy. 10. The flavor composition of claim 2 , wherein the peptide is a synthetic peptide.
