Primary bioactive Content of major flavor amino Flavor Effect Herbs and com o nds acids/com o nds b HPLC Aromatics of mi o /1 % [063] In an embodiment, the selection of a specific combination of ingredients for plant-only products was determined using a proprietary machine learning (ML) tool, which blends ancestral wisdoms of plant nutrition with biotechnology and ML to analyze members of, primarily, the plant and fungi kingdoms, as well as other potential, natural, sources outside of the animal kingdom for the compounds nature offers. [064] In another embodiment, the platform utilizes algorithms and includes a database with a significant number of ingredients (e.g., 50,000-100,000 ingredients) and relevant physical properties associated with such ingredients. [065] In one embodiment, for example, physical characterization data and information about each ingredient for some or all of the ingredients in the database include, without limitation, functional properties (e.g., emulsification properties, stabilization properties, bulking properties, texturizing properties, gelling properties, fat-replacement properties, etc.) and aesthetic properties relating to flavorings. [066] In one more embodiment, ayurvedic and/or other holistic properties, physicochemical properties (e.g. pH, viscosity, moisture content, density, etc.), mechanical properties (e.g. adhesive strength, tensile strength, shear resistance, etc.), chemical and/or molecular descriptor properties (e.g., bio-active/bioavailability properties, molecular structure, phytonutrient properties, etc.), sensorial properties (e.g., taste, smell, color, texture, mouth feel, etc.), and nutritional information (e.g., macronutrient/micronutrient properties, etc.) are also considered in the proprietary system to give optimal results in terms of functionality, health and sustainability. [067] In yet another embodiment, based upon the known properties of ingredients in the database, the desired properties for the food product or formulation, and one or more algorithms associated with the proprietary machine learning platform, a unique combination of plant-only ingredients was determined to yield an effective flavoring replacement formulation that can be used to create a desirable food product or formulation that is effective as a substitute for conventional ingredients in food products of all kinds. [068] In yet another embodiment, as noted, the proprietary system identifies natural alternatives, i.e., as defined, “plant-only” alternatives to synthetic, artificial, and animal- derived products, and incorporates in its algorithms, among other things, traditional knowledge known as ayurvedic medicine. [069] In further embodiment, ayurvedic medicine and its diet principles have been practiced for many thousands of years. This ancient system, among other things, categorizes food by its medicinal properties and desired effects; thus, the proper application of ayurvedic principles requires knowledge of the self – one’s dominant energy, also known as dosha – to prescribe the most advantageous categories of foods from which to choose for an individual’s diet. [070] In further embodiment, categories of ayurvedic properties include but are not limited to Virya (hima/sheeta – cold), Vipaka (Madhura – sweet), Rasa (Madhura – sweet), and Guna (ruksha – dry; or guru - heavy). The information recommended by the proprietary Machine learning system permits one to choose among hundreds of alternatives based on ingredients intended to alter a variety of properties to give optimal results for aesthetic purposes (i.e., flavorings, mouth feel, etc.) as well as physiological functionality, health, and environmental sustainability. [071] In an exemplary embodiment, A food product flavoring replacement system as described herein functions to replace synthetic or artificial additives and flavorings and comprises a combination of plant- or fungi-, or algae-sourced ingredients and added water, if any is required for their preparation. The plant-only ingredients and combinations of ingredients selected for the flavoring replacement system are consistent with the requirements and specifications of achieving the sensory features exhibited by conventional flavoring agents. [072] 3. PLANT-ONLY CHEESE FLAVOR REPLACEMENT SYSTEM: [073] In an embodiment, the term “Cheese flavoring” refers to a type of food additive or seasoning that is designed to impart the taste and aroma of cheese to various food products. It is used to enhance the cheese flavor in snacks, sauces, dips, and other food items, without the need for actual cheese or as a supplement to natural cheese. Cheese flavoring can come in various forms such as powdered cheese, liquid cheese, or cheese- flavored seasonings. [074] 4. EXAMPLE OF EMBODIMENTS: [075] The disclosed embodiment will be further described in the following examples. It should be understood that these examples are for illustrative purposes only and are not to be construed as limiting this disclosed embodiment in any manner. [076] TABLE 2: Preferred, Essential Plant-Only Cheese Flavoring Replacement System Categories/Ingredients Preferred, Essential Plant-Only Cheese Additional Preferred Weight Fla orin Re lacement S stem in redients Percent of the [077] In some embodiments, within each of the three categories in Table 2, one of the listed ingredients (or one or more plant-only alternatives to that ingredient, which alternatives impart the same or similar flavor as the replaced ingredient) may be used as the cheese flavoring replacement system. In other embodiments, two or more listed ingredients (or their plant-only alternatives, as above) may be combined in varying amounts for the replacement system. In certain embodiments one or more representative ingredients from each of the three categories are mixed to form the replacement system. In still other alternative embodiments, any of the ingredients listed in Table 2 may be replaced by one or more plant-only substitute ingredients (not listed) that impart the same or similar flavors and/or properties and functionalities to the food product as the ingredient(s) being replaced. [078] Although Table 2 provides a preferred, essential list of categories of ingredients imparting particular a variety of flavorings in the cheese flavoring replacement system, substitutions for these ingredients in the replacement system may be made in alternative embodiments for compliance with dietary requirements, without limitation, such as food sensitivities and food allergies. [079] Advantageously, the cheese flavoring replacement system detailed in Table 2 as a component of another food product (e.g., a meat- or seafood-based, or imitation meat or sea food product, or other savory food product) comprises generally between about 1 to about 35 percent or more of the total weight of the product, depending on the moisture content of the flavoring replacement system and that of the consumable food product. [080] The cheese flavoring replacement system may comprise, as a percent by weight of any consumable food product to which it is added, and depending on the type of food product and whether water or other liquid is included as part of the food product, is present in an amount between about 1 and about 35 percent, between about 1 to 2 percent, between about 2 to about 4 percent, between about 1 to about 30 percent, between about 3 to about 5 percent, between about 5 to about 7 percent, between about 6 to about 8 percent, between about 7 to about 10 percent, between about 10 percent and about 12 percent, between about 12 percent and about14 percent, between about 14 percent and about18 percent, between about 18 percent and about 22 percent, between about 22 percent and about28 percent, and between about 28 percent and about35 percent of the total weight of the food product in which the replacement system is incorporated. [081] Categories of ingredients among the preferred, essential categories of ingredients in the cheese flavoring replacement system In an embodiment, preferred, essential ingredient categories and ingredients listed in Table 2 were identified by the machine learning system (referenced above) and exhibit the desired ayurvedic properties, functionalities, and cheese flavorings in preferred embodiments. In other embodiments, one or more plant-only, minimally processed and non-synthetic alternative ingredients imparting the same or similar flavors may also be used in place of one or more (or all of) the listed ingredients to impart the same or similar flavorings as those replaced Table 2 categories and ingredients. There are several categories of ingredients contributing a variety of flavors through a selection of fruits, vegetables. [083] A principal ingredient category in the cheese flavoring replacement system for food products in particular is one or more fruits high in glutamate and aspartate (also known as aspartic acid), two key cheese flavoring amino acids. [084] The synergistic effect of the composition: [085] The present disclosure deals with plant – only cheese flavoring replacement system which comprises of three ingredient sources i.e., (i) fruit source, (ii) vegetable source, (iii) spices and herb source. [086] In an exemplary aspect, Cheese flavor involves vast and complex compounds responsible for its cheesy flavor. Some compounds include amino acid metabolism. Some of the intense aroma-active compounds in the neutral basic fraction of the rosy/floral cheeses included 2-phenethanol (rosy), phenylethyl acetate (rosy), and phenylacetaldehyde (rosy/floral). The taste of the cheese is lactic acid, amino acids, nonvolatile fatty acids, keto acids, nonvolatile amines, salt, and various fragments of the proteins and fats. The compounds that could contribute to the aroma portion of the flavor would include such groups as amines, fatty acids, aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, esters, and volatile sulphur compounds, such as hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans. [087] Cheese flavor containing plant substitutes: [088] Bell pepper [089] Blueberries [090] Apricots [091] Strawberries [092] Cherry tomatoes [093] Cheese flavors involve an earthy, nutty flavor contributed by alkylpyrazines, Earthy/bell pepper flavor commonly found in this cheese was associated with such as 2- isopropyl-3- methoxypyrazine and 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine. Certain varieties of bell peppers contain alkyl pyrazines such as 2-isobutyl-3- methoxypyrazine and 2-sec- butyl-3-methoxypyrazine, which are said to be responsible for the green earthy flavor. Next important flavor that comes to mind is its sour and fruity flavor. Alcohol, aldehydes and ketones like compound Methyl 3-methylbutanoate, Ethyl 3- methylbutanoate, Ethyl propanoate, hexanal and (Z)-3-hexenal. (E)-2-Hexen-1-ol (rancid-cheesy), (E)-2-hexenal (floral and sweet) in blueberries gives out cheesy, citrus, sulfury and a fruity flavor. [094] Apricots contain esters that can impart floral and fruity flavor and aroma to the plant only cheese. When apricots are added in the formulation, it leads to a slight reduction in pH values during the storage period. This could be attributed to a limitation/ prevention of growth and activity of resistant microflora, such as heat resistant proteinases or psychrotrophic bacteria present and enzymes in the product, which cause a hydrolysis of lactose to some acids that contributes to its characteristic taste. [095] Strawberries also contain esters (methyl and ethyl butanoate and methyl and ethyl hexanoate) which impart fruity and sour notes to the cheese. [096] Cherry tomatoes contain some volatile compounds like alcohols, aldehydes, esters and ketones which plays a role in imparting cheesy flavor. This cherry tomato also consists of organic sulfides which is of main interest for the formulation of plant only cheese. Any food product is said to be win-win only when its aroma and flavor goes together. These above-mentioned ingredients have bioactive composition, with a synergy to complement each other in enhancing flavor and aroma of cheese. Bioactive compounds in these ingredients when used together can undergo various chemical reactions which replicate the chemical reactions that take place in dairy based cheese formation. [097] Category 1: fruit source(s): cherry tomatoes, blueberries, strawberries and apricots are the preferred fruits of the disclosed cheese flavoring replacement system. Cherry tomatoes are certain small varieties of tomatoes. [098] Cherry tomatoes: Like certain cheeses, cherry tomatoes have a slightly tart and sour taste. In cheese, the caseins are metabolized to peptides and amino acids which form the metabolic precursors of volatile sulfur compounds, aldehydes, ketones and fatty acids, all of which contribute to a cheese flavor. Cherry tomatoes, with sulfur- containing compounds such as methional and dimethyl trisulfide, are responsible for a meaty and cheese-like flavor. Methional, hydrogen sulfide and dimethyl sulfide constitute the majority of sulfur-containing compounds in cherry tomatoes, and methional imparts flavor similar to cheddar cheese. In addition to these flavoring compounds, cherry tomatoes also contain organic acids such as malic, ascorbic, succinic and citric acids, contributing to the acidic flavor profile that is produced post- fermentation. These acids also aid in the preservation and shelf life of a food product containing them. The consumption of cherry tomatoes promotes the Ayurvedic properties of Rasa: (sweet), stringent; Virya: (heat); Vipaka: (sour). [099] Strawberries are one of the fruits in preferred embodiments of the cheese flavoring replacement system. Strawberries comprise a group of several varieties of fruits (Fragaria genus) that are a part of the rose family. A wild or cultivated, seasonal fruit in the north, they may be grown worldwide at various times of the year and are eaten raw, cooked and dried (and powdered). Strawberries contain about 0.1 gram of glutamate per 100 grams of fresh fruit. In cheese, one of the characteristic flavors is an aromatic fruity note that derives from a variety of compounds such as esters, which are produced as a result of enzymatic activity in cheese. The development of esters in cheese originates from milk cultures. Strawberries, too, contain esters such as methyl butanal, hexanoate, and methyl propanal (a colorless, liquid aldehyde), which impart a complex flavor of malt, apple, and more pungent profiles. Ethyl butyrate, one of the most important strawberry esters, contributes to a ripe fruit flavor, and is due to a complex mixture of both organic and inorganic components. Strawberries contain 2- methylbutanoate, linalool, methyl butanoate and ethyl butanoate, which also provide sweetness to the system. Finally, strawberries also contain decalactone, an aromatic compound that imparts a creamy, sweet dairy nuance to the replacement system. [0100] Blueberries – Blueberries are a highly nutritious berry, wild or cultivated. Blueberries contain high amounts of anthocyanin, organic acid and fiber, which significantly affect sensory evaluation, pH value, texture profile analysis (TPA) and microstructure. The blueberry flavor compounds impart light cheese and fruit flavors, and have a delicate fragrance, linked to the presence of fructose, a monosaccharide, which leads to its popularity as a sweet fruit. When added to a food product at roughly ten percent of the total volume of the food product, a cheesy, sour flavor and essence develop, such as linalool and cis-3-hexeno. [0101] Apricots are fruits of the family Prunis, which also includes peaches, cherries, plums and nectarines. Apricots are a sweet, tart stone fruit, meaning they contain a stone pit at their center, and have soft, velvety flesh and peel. Ripe apricots are primarily eaten raw, but can also be cooked and grilled, and are often dried. [0102] In some embodiments, the cherry tomatoes, strawberries, blueberries and/or apricots are dried and provided in the cheese flavoring replacement system as a ground powder. In other embodiments the fruit(s) may be mixed with water, plant-derived liquid or other non-animal-sourced liquid to form a liquid, gel or other alternative form of the system suitable for mixing, storing, freezing and/or drying. In other embodiments, the fruits are provided in liquid or gel form. In still other embodiments, one or more substitute fruits may be used in combination, or with (or substituted by) other ingredients known to a person of ordinary skill that would provide the same or similar flavorings (and perhaps characteristics and features (functionality and properties)) for this category in the system. Further detail on this category is found in Table 3. [0103] In the disclosed embodiments the amount of fruits (one or more of blueberries, cherry tomatoes, strawberries and apricots, and/or one or more substitutes to have the same or similar flavors, and possibly also the same or similar properties and functionalities as these ingredients) as a percentage of the cheese flavoring replacement system weight ranges between about 1 to about 50 percent, between about 1 to about 5 percent, between about 5 to about 8 percent, between about 8 to about 10 percent, about 10 to about 15 percent, between about 15 to about 20 percent, between about 20 to about 25 percent, between about 10 and about 35 percent, between about 20 to about 30 percent, between about 20 to about 40 percent, between about 30 to about 40 percent, between about 25 to about 30 percent, between about 30 and about 35 percent, between about 35 to about 40 percent, between about 40 to about 45 percent, and between about 45 to about 50 percent of the total weight of the cheese flavoring replacement system. [0104] Synergy due to fruit source [0105] Blueberries: The blueberry flavor compounds impart light cheese and little fruity flavors. The compounds that are perceived give a smooth and delicate fragrance. This flavor has a strong relationship with fructose and pH, and hence the sugars like monosaccharide fructose in blueberry are the most impactful effector of overall liking, sweetness and flavor, and detractor from sourness. When blueberry is added around 10% of the additive volume, it develops a cheesy sour flavor essence by compounds like linalool and cis-3-hexenol. [0106] Apricots: Esters are important flavor-active compounds in cheese and result from the activity of bacteria. Apricot can replace synthetic cheese flavors as it contains similar esters which are present in synthetic cheese flavors. The volatile esters like ethyl octanoate present in apricots provide a fruity note flavor to soft cheese. In terms of sensory perception of aroma, benzaldehyde, linalool, 4-terpinenol, α-terpineol and perhaps 2-phenylethanol are responsible for the floral and fruity part of the aroma perceived in apricots that are in close resemblance with cheese. [0107] Strawberries: In cheese, one of the characteristic flavors is aromatic fruity notes that come from a variety of compounds like esters which are produced as a result of enzymatic activity in cheese. This development of esters contributing to the cheese flavor comes from cultures or endogenous compounds in the milk. Ethyl butyrate, one of the most important strawberry esters, contributes to the “ripe” fruit flavor. Strawberry flavor is due to a complex mixture of both organic and inorganic components. Apart from this, strawberries have compounds like 2-methylbutanoate and linalool that impart the characteristic strawberry fruity flavor. Other esters in strawberry that can give cheese-like flavors are methyl butanoate and ethyl butanoate providing both sweetness and hence can be a potential replacement for cheese flavors. [0108] Cherry tomatoes: Like certain cheeses, cherry tomatoes have a slightly tart and sour taste. In cheese, the caseins are metabolized to peptides and amino acids which form the metabolic precursors of volatile sulfur compounds, aldehydes, ketones and fatty acids. All these compounds contribute to the cheese flavor. Methional, Hydrogen sulfide and dimethyl sulfide constituted the majority of sulfur compounds in cherry tomatoes. Methional is one of the volatile compounds in cherry tomatoes that gives flavor similar to cheddar cheese. In order to develop the taste on similar lines as cheese, cherry tomatoes can be a potential option. [0109] Category 2: Vegetable source(s): bell peppers are a primary component of the disclosed cheese flavoring replacement system. In certain embodiment, bell peppers are dried and ground prior to incorporating into the replacement system. In other embodiments, along with other components of the replacement system, they are added directly to foods raw, cooked, dried or frozen. Roasting increases the compounds that enhance the cheese flavoring. [0110] Bell peppers are a member of the chile pepper family, Solanaceae. Bell peppers can produce cheese-like flavors due to the presence of alkyl pyrazines that are found naturally in a variety of vegetables. These alkyl pyrazines are metabolized as by products by certain plants, such as bell peppers. In cheeses, earth/bell pepper (EBP) flavors are developed in the cheese rind and interiors of the block of cheese due to the presence of certain pyrazines, namely: alkyl methoxypyrazines, such as 2-isopropyl-3- methoxypyrazine and 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine, which contribute to the umami and spice flavor notes and rich, cheesy afternotes. Bell peppers, containing hexenal, and impart a cheesy, earthy flavor. Bell peppers have the Ayurvedic properties of: Rasa - katu, Guna- Lakhu, Ruksha, Theeshna, Vipika- Katu, Virya- Ushna. [0111] Each ingredient in this category may be interchanged with the others or may be used in combination, or with (or substituted by) other ingredients known to a person of ordinary skill that would provide the same flavorings, and possibly similar characteristics and features or properties for this category in the system. Further detail on this category is found in Table 3. [0112] In the disclosed embodiments the amount of vegetables (bell pepper and/or one or more substitutes have the same or similar flavors) as a percentage of the cheese flavoring replacement system weight ranges between about 5 to about 50 percent, between about 5 to about 10 percent, between about 5 to about 15 percent, between about 7 to about 11 percent, between about 8 to about 12 percent, between about 9 to about 13 percent, between about 10 and about 14 percent, between about 10 to about 20 percent, between about 10 to about 35 percent, between about 12 to about 15 percent, between about 14 to about 17 percent, between about 15 to about 18 percent, between about 17 to about 20 percent, between about 20 to about 25 percent, between about 25 to about 30 percent, between about 20 to about 40 percent, between about 30 to about 40 percent, between about 30 to about 35 percent, between about 35 to about 40 percent, between about 40 to about 45 percent, and between about 45 to about 50 percent of the total weight of the cheese flavoring replacement system. [0113] Synergy due to the vegetable source: [0114] Bell pepper: Bell peppers can produce cheese-like flavors due to the presence of alkylpyrazines that are found naturally in a variety of vegetables. These alkylpyrazines are metabolized by certain plants like bell peppers, as by products. The threshold testing of these flavors are a reason to conclude that EBP or earth/bell pepper flavors are developed in the rind and interiors of cheddar cheese due to the presence of certain pyrazines namely –alkylmethoxypyrazines such as 2-isopropyl-3- methoxypyrazine and 2-isobutyl-3-methoxypyrazine. Hence, bell pepper due to the presence of the same compounds can be used as a cheese flavor replacement. [0115] Category 3: spice and herb source(s): Spices are the dried parts of a plant other than the leaves that are used as a seasoning or flavoring in a food product but are not a main ingredient. Herbs are the dried or fresh leaves of a plant used primarily in the same way although in some sauces, salads and condiments, herbs are frequently a main ingredient. One or more spices and herbs may be included as part of the cheese flavoring replacement system in the disclosed embodiments. For example, any one or more (or all) of ginger, turmeric, black pepper and rosemary may constitute the spice and herb category of the replacement system. In other embodiments, one or more of these may be replaced with an alternative herb or spice, or with a combination of alternative herbs and/or spices. Such substitutes (alternatives) would be known to a person of ordinary skill to provide the same or similar flavors, as well as properties, characteristics and/or functionalities as do the listed ingredients of this category. Further detail on this category is found in Table 3. [0116] Ginger root (Zingiberaceae officinale) is used as a spice, and in medicine, and is an important source of vitamins and minerals. Ginger root also contains glutamic acid, which contributes a rich, umami flavor, and a bioactive composition comprising α- pinene, myrcene, p-cymene, 2-heptanol, 2-nonanol, bornyl acetate, and others, contributing a pungent, which enhances the sensorial properties of food products. In some embodiments ginger root is provided in the cheese flavoring replacement system as a finely ground powder. In other embodiments it may be mixed with water, plant- derived liquid or other non-animal-sourced liquid to form a liquid, gel or other alternative form of the system suitable for mixing, storing, freezing and/or drying. Ginger root promotes the ayurvedic properties of Rasa: Katu (Pungent),Vipaka : Madhura (Sweet),Virya: Heat,Guna, and Laghu (Light). [0117] Turmeric root is a Southeast Asian and Indian spice ground from the dried, as its name implies, from the roots of the turmeric plant, a member of the ginger family. Both fresh turmeric root and dried, ground turmeric powder are used in cooking in Asian and Middle Eastern dishes. Ground turmeric is a yellow-colored powder. Turmeric has an earthy, pungent aroma with a hint of mustard or horseradish. When added to dishes, it brings out the other flavors, and results in the replacement system having a yellow or golden color. [0118] Black peppercorns are the mature, dried berries of the vine, Piper nigrum, which is native to India. The berries grow on spikes of 50-60 berries on each spike and are harvested as green berries; enzymes in the berries cause the skin of the berry to turn black during the drying process. Black peppercorns have the strongest flavor of all peppercorns. The active ingredient in pepper is piperine, an alkaloid responsible for the pungent flavor of the berry. [0119] Rosemary, Rosmarinus officinalis, is a perennial evergreen shrub, often used ornamentally, but is also an aromatic herb, a member of the Lamiaceae family with thousands of species, including sage and mint. It is used in a variety of dishes, pairing well with mushrooms, onions, peas, potatoes, spinach and a variety of grains. Rosemary may be used fresh or dried and, if dried, is chopped or pulverized. [0120] In the disclosed embodiments the dry weight amount of ingredient(s) sourced from spices and herbs and/or one or more substitutes that have the same or similar flavors, and possibly also the same or similar properties and functionalities as these ingredients as a percent of the cheese flavoring replacement system weight, ranges from between about 1 to about 30 percent, between about 1 percent to about 2 percent, between about 2 to about 3 percent, between about 3 and about 6 percent, between about 4 to about 7 percent, between about 5 to about 8 percent, between about 5 and about 25 percent, between about 6 to about 8 percent, between about 7 to about 9 percent, between about 8 to about 10 percent, between about 9 to about 11 percent, between about 10 to about 12 percent, between about 11 to about 13 percent , between about 12 to about 14 percent, between about 13 to about 15 percent, between about 15 to about 20 percent, between about 20 to about 25 percent, and between about 25 to about 30 percent of the total weight of the cheese flavoring replacement system. [0121] The combinations of preferred, essential fruits, vegetables, spices and herbs result in a plant-only cheese flavoring replacement system that may be incorporated into, or used as a coating on, any variety of food products ranging from baked and fried foods, snacks, frozen foods, vegetables or meat-containing foods as well as plant-based and plant only food products. In some embodiments, the mixtures of the identified, preferred ingredients result in a robust and flavorful cheese flavoring and seasoning product, ideal for replacing artificial, synthetic or highly processed seasonings used in commercially available food products. An intensified cheese flavoring is achieved through various interactions of compounds within and among the ingredients of the identified categories. For example, the combination of blueberries, cherry tomatoes and strawberries imparts a cheesy flavor, or enhances the flavor of cheese(s) already in a food product. As with almonds, the nutty flavor imparted by blueberries is due to the presence of benzaldehyde. Blueberries also contain aliphatic compounds hexanal, nonanal and heptanal, the latter, which imparts fat flavor notes and texture, which is smooth, similar to that of cheese, and which give a well-rounded mouth feel to the food product. [0122] 2-methylbutanal and 3-methylbutanal compounds, paired, have a similar structure and aroma and provide the strongest synergistic effect for the flavoring, as well as a masking effect, the latter, which could be due to the structural and aromatic differences existing between them: the cyclic structure of benzaldehyde versus a branched chain structure in 2-methylpropanal. In addition, benzaldehyde imparts an almond-like aroma while 2-methylpropanal gives a pungent, varnish-like aroma. The combination of 2-methylbutanal, 2-methyl propanal, 2-methylpropanal, and 3-methyl butanal also may provide a synergistic effect, producing a desirable, combined aroma. We note that those binary mixtures such as the various combinations of flavors marry well when they have similar structures and aroma profiles. The thiol group of methional itself adds to the umami or meatiness flavor profile of the cheese flavoring replacement system. Accordingly, a mixture of all the above compounds eliminates the masking of one flavor over another, and results in a milky, malty, nutty, acidic, meaty, and sulfur- containing flavor profile for the cheese flavoring replacement system. The desired flavor profile for the system will depend on the type of consumable food product in which the replacement system is mixed, with maximum aroma or odor thresholds of the system met within the relative ranges specified above for each of the categories. Any missing ingredients could result in grassy, bitter flavor profile from the compounds mentioned above, once present above a certain concentration in the blend produce a different flavor profile in the food system. [0123] The addition of the cheese flavoring system’s ingredients as flavoring agents also may have a positive effect on textural properties of the food products in which the system is incorporated. The longer the ripening period of cherry tomatoes and strawberries in the system (which lower its pH), the greater the stiffness, gumminess, and chewiness of the food product(s) in which the system is incorporated. In the cheese- making process, a reduced pH causes ions covalently bound to casein (milk protein) strands to become protonated during curd formation, increasing hydrophobic interactions among protein molecules, and making the cheese curd harder and more elastic. The inclusion in the cheese flavoring replacement system of cherry tomatoes, which contain lycopene, also results in a yellow hue of the system. [0124] The cheese flavoring of the system as a whole is maximized through contributions of the multiple ingredients to the mix. Alone or in various combinations as a cheese flavoring replacement system, the previously described ingredients are effective as natural flavoring agents, together, present in an amount of about 1 percent to up to 35 percent or more of the dry weight of a food product in/on which it is incorporated or coated, depending on the type of food product and the strength of flavor desired.

The cheese flavoring replacement system of the disclosed embodiments can be used in whole or in part to replace the flavoring mix detailed in Table 4. [0128] Preparation of the cheese flavoring replacement system or its component categories [0129] In one embodiment, the cheese flavoring replacement system, or any of its individual categories, individual ingredients or combinations of ingredients within each category, can be prepared by combining and mixing the dried, powdered ingredients selected from Table 1 in the relative amounts identified as preferred, essential ingredients of the system to be used in one or more desired food products. In some embodiments the cheese flavoring replacement system may be in the form of a liquid, gel or cream due to the addition of water or other plant-derived liquid. In some embodiments the cheese flavoring replacement system is mixed with additional water or plant-derived liquid, then dried and powdered and stored. In some embodiments the cheese flavoring replacement system is prepared in extract or liquid form and freeze dried. In certain embodiments, the cheese flavoring replacement system may be prepared and stored as a liquid or moist form (as in a gel or dough). In certain other embodiments the cheese flavoring replacement system may be prepared as a liquid, gel, cream or in dried form and then frozen for storage. In other embodiments, each of the categories of ingredients, individual ingredients, or combinations of ingredients within each of the categories of the cheese flavoring replacement system, whether in liquid, gel, dried or other form, are mixed individually directly into and become a part of another food product rather than being combined as the complete replacement system prior to incorporation into another food product. The addition of a liquid to the replacement system will necessarily modify (increase) relative weight of the replacement system as a component of a food product. [0130] In some embodiments the cheese flavoring replacement system stands alone as a plant-only food product that can be added to one or more ingredients or other food replacement systems to form any type of consumable food product requiring a cheese flavoring. In other embodiments the cheese flavoring replacement system is a component of another food product. In certain embodiments the cheese flavoring replacement system is a component of a baked or fried food product, a soup or sauce, a snack or a frozen food or other food product mix (such as a burger, patty or other shape, or mix), which may then be incorporated into other food products. In still other embodiments the food product is one of several components used to create the final food product. In some embodiments the food product is a stand-alone product. In other embodiments, the ingredients listed in Table 1 may be selected and combined in other relative amounts (a variety of ranges) identified for each of the categories to achieve the required functional and aesthetic features most closely resembling those of conventionally used, commercially available flavorings and additives. In other embodiments, the cheese flavoring replacement system may be used as an alternative, natural option to enhance the flavor of pet and other animal feeds. [0131] The combination of categories and ingredients comprising a cheese flavoring replacement system for traditional ingredients and additives in commercially available animal- and plant-based products, as well as their physicochemical and Ayurvedic properties are shown in Table 3.
