Abstract: A process of converting a carbon-carbon multiple bond to a cyclopropane ring, comprising the addition of a N-alkyl-N-nitroso compound to a mixture of alkene precursor, aqueous base and Pd(II)-catalyst, with the N-alkyl-N-nitroso compound obtained directly from an alkyl amine derivative, NaNO2 and an acid via phase separation of the N-alkyl-N-nitroso compound from the aqueous phase.

Abstract: Disclosed are sweetened consumables and methods of forming said sweetened consumables that comprise certain sweeteners and at least one sweetness enhancer in a concentration near its sweetness detection threshold.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula (1) and their use as umami tastants: wherein R1 is chosen from Me, Et, Pr, or iPr, R2 is chosen from H or Me, or R1 and R2 together with the aromatic ring carbon atoms, form a 5 or 6 membered ring.

Abstract: An active-containing microparticle adapted to release the active in a desired end-use, comprising (a) an active-containing core active-containing core, optionally formed on an inner core, comprising a continuous hydrophilic medium in which at least one active is dissolved or is present as? dispersed particles; (b) an active-free barrier layer, surrounding completely the core; and (c) surrounding the barrier layer, a layer of polymeric material having a solubility in water at 25° C. of 0.1% by weight maximum; the barrier layer comprising a material selected from waxes, fats and materials suitable for use as the continuous hydrophilic medium of the core, and which is solid in the conditions of the desired end-use. The particles are useful, for example, for the delayed release of flavors in foods and beverages.
