In addition the invention relates to specific products, in particular oral hygiene products, comprising or consisting of a compound of the Formula 1 or of a mixture of two or more different compounds of the Formula 1 wherein the radicals of the compound of the Formula 1 or of each compound of the Formula 1 in the mixture are as defined in the preceding description.

Abstract: The invention relates to a mixture of compounds having the sensory properties of winter-green, to fragrance and flavoring compositions containing said mixture and to flavored and perfumed products containing said mixture, to a method of adding a wintergreen flavor, odor or note to (non-wintergreen) flavored or perfumed products. Further the present invention relates to the use of said mixture as an enhancement, or as complete or partial replacement for methyl salicylate, in particular in chewing gum, foods, dentrifices, mouthwashes and other orally consumable products. The mixture comprises or consists of dihydroanethole, o-anisaldehyde, 1,3-dimethoxybenzene, 2?-hydroxyacetophenone, and optionally 2-methoxyacetophenone.

Abstract: Mixtures comprising (a) eugenol acetate and isoeugenol methyl ether of (b) eugenol acetate and beta-homocyclocitral or (c) eugenol acetate, isoeugenol methyl ether and beta-homocyclocitral are described. The use of these mixtures as agents against bad breath is furthermore described.

Abstract: The invention relates to a novel method of evaluating the breath of a test subject. A breath sample from a test subject is collected in a container. The microbial load of the breath sample collected in the container is reduced. The breath sample collected in the container is evaluated by a tester.

Abstract: Described is a spherical coated capsule comprising (a) a coating-free capsule having (i) a liquid or viscous core and (ii) a seamless solid shell surrounding this core, and (b) a seamless, solid coating surrounding said coating-free capsule, wherein—the diameter of the coated capsule is in the range of 5-9 mm, —the solid coating comprises at least one sugar or sugar-alcohol in an amount from about 30-90% (m/m), based on the total mass of the coated capsule, —the diameter of the coating-free capsule is in the range of 3-7 mm, the thickness of the shell of said coating-free capsule is in the range of 20-200 ?m, —the ratio of shell thickness to diameter of said coating-free capsule is in the range of 0.004-0.04, —the shell of said coating-free capsule contains 70-90% (m/m) gelatine or alginate and 10-30% (m/m) plasticiser, based on the solids content of said shell, and —the core has a flavouring content in the range of 1-100% (m/m), based on the total mass of the core.

Abstract: The invention relates to (?)-carvone acetals and their use as flavourings. In a preferred embodiment, the invention relates to the use of these acetals for the flavouring of oral hygiene products.

Abstract: The invention describes a process for the production of 2E,4Z-decadienoic acid-N-isobutylamide (cis-pellitorine) and its use as a pungent principle and aromatic substance having a heat-generating effect, preferably in preparations used for foodstuffs, oral hygiene or luxury foodstuffs.

Abstract: The present invention describes various mandelic acid alkylamides and their use as pungent compounds and flavour compounds with a heat-generating effect, preferably in preparations for use in nutrition, oral hygiene or consumed for pleasure.

Abstract: Acyclic ethers can be used as rhinologically active substances. In the regions of the mouth, the throat and the airways they produce a refreshing and clearing feeling.

Abstract: The invention concerns the use of 2E,4E-decadienoic acid-N-isobutylamide (trans-pellitorin) as flavorant, in particular as salivation inducing flavor substance, preferably in a foodstuff or nutrient, an oral hygienic preparation or a gourmet or snack preparation. Further, the invention concerns preparations, semi-finished preparations as well as fragrance, aroma and taste compositions, containing trans-pelletorin as well as a processes for the production of trans-pelletorin.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for producing uniformly colored blue microcapsules, using oil-soluble dyes.
