Abstract: The use of compounds according to formula (I) and with X, Y?—NH— or —O—, wherein at least X or Y is —NH—, in the form of any one of its stereoisomers or a mixture thereof, wherein is indicating a carbon-carbon single or double bond, and wherein one carbon-carbon double bond is present either at C2 or C3, the wavy bond is indicating an unspecified configuration of the adjacent double bond, as umami tastant.

Abstract: Provided are new alkenyl carbonothioates of formula (I), their manufacture and their use as flavours and fragrances. Also provided are flavour and fragrance compositions and edible products, in particular coffee products, comprising the new alkenyl carbonothioates.

Abstract: Flavor modulation in foodstuffs, beverages, pharmaceutics, tobacco products and oral care products, using a flavor modulating substance selected from substances represented by formula (I) or formula (II), edible salts thereof and edible esters thereof: These substances are capable of imparting highly desirable taste attributes in the products in which they are incorporated. In addition the flavor modulating substances are capable of modulating and complementing the sensory impact of other taste imparting substances. The substances are applied in flavor compositions, foodstuffs, pharmaceutics, tobacco products and oral care products.

Abstract: Flavour modulation in foodstuffs, beverages, pharmaceutics, tobacco products and oral care products, using a flavour modulating substance selected from substances represented by formula (I) or formula (II), edible salts thereof and edible esters thereof: These substances are capable of imparting highly desirable taste attributes in the products in which they are incorporated. In addition the flavour modulating substances are capable of modulating and complementing the sensory impact of other taste imparting substances. The substances are applied in flavour compositions, foodstuffs, pharmaceutics, tobacco products and oral care products.

Abstract: A method of modulating the flavor of an orally-receivable product, such as a foodstuff, beverage, dentifrice or medicine, comprising the addition thereto of a flavor-modulating proportion of at least one compound of the formula I in which X is selected from CHOH, C?O, CH2—CO and CH?C(OH), Y is selected from C1-C7 linear and branched alkyl and CH2CH2OH, Z is selected from CH3 and a moiety of the formula II in which the wavy bond represents bond linking Z to X and R1 and R2 are selected from the possibilities (i) both hydrogen; (ii) independently OH and OCH3; and (iii) R1 and R2 together with their bonds to the phenyl ring form a ring of the formula —O—CH2—O—; such that, when Z is CH3, X is C?O and Y is CH2CH2OH.

Abstract: Compounds of the formula (I) A is OH or a carbonyl group, n is 0 or 1, R is an alkyl radical having from 1 to 4 carbon atoms, in particular methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, iso-propyl, n-butyl or t-butyl; or a residue of a hydroxy carboxylic acid, in particular the residue —CH(OH)COOH, —CH(OH)CH2COOH, —CH2CH(OH)COOH or —CH(OH)CH(OH)COOH; and R? is independently selected from H or OH.

Abstract: The compound of the formula (1) is novel and is useful in conferring umami taste on consumable compositions, such as foodstuffs and beverages.

Abstract: The present invention in a first aspect relates to flavour modulation in foodstuffs, beverages, tobacco products and oral care products, using a flavour modulating substance selected from the group represented by formula (I), edible salts thereof and edible esters thereof. It has been found that these substances are capable imparting highly desirable taste attributes in the products they are incorporated in. In addition said flavour modulating substances are capable of modulating and complementing, the sensory impact of other, taste imparting, substances. Thus, the present substances are advantageously applied in flavour compositions, foodstuffs, tobacco products and oral care products.
