Cysteine, mainly the L-enantiomer, is a precursor in the food, pharmaceutical, and personal-care industries. One of the largest applications is the production of flavors. For example, the reaction of cysteine with sugars in a Maillard reaction yields meat flavors. L-Cysteine is also used as a processing aid for baking." There's something rather repulsive about one of the flavourings that is often used in 'meaty' flavour mixes. It's sometimes simply under the MSG label but, and the devil is in the detail, MSG can be both the stuff made from vegetable or fish, but the meaty flavour is enhanced by the addition of L cysteine, which is commercially produces from human hair and feathers. The majority of L-cysteine is obtained industrially by hydrolysis of poultry feathers or human hair. Synthetically produced L-cysteine, compliant with Jewish Kosher and Muslim Halal laws, is also available, albeit at a higher price." Wainwright, Martin. "Bovril drops the beef to go vegetarian".
