The present invention relates to a biocatalytic process for producing a flavoring or a mixture of flavorings, comprising the steps of: providing a conversion medium containing a plant part from Grossulariaceae, from Rosaceae and/or from Vitaceae; contacting the conversion medium with at least one fungus from the division of Basidiomycota that is capable of forming a flavoring or a mixture of flavorings on the conversion medium; converting the plant part to form the flavoring or the mixture of flavorings with the aid of the fungus; and optionally obtaining the flavoring or the mixture of flavorings, wherein the flavoring or the mixture of flavorings preferably contains at least one compound selected from the group consisting of 2-octanone, 2-nonanone, 2-undecanone, linalool oxides, benzaldehyde, geraniol, 2-octanol, methyl anthranilate, 2-aminobenzaldehyde and linalool. |
