Abstract: A fragrance and/or flavor compound of the general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is one of propyl or a 2-propenyl group and R.sub.2 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkyl group, said compound having exactly one R.sub.1 and from one to four R.sub.2. The compounds possess antimicrobial activity as well as flavor or odor characteristics acceptable for use in flavors and fragrances, respectively. The compounds are useful in forming flavor and/or fragrance compositions having antimicrobial activity. Product formulations, such as detergents, are useful for imparting both acceptable fragrance and antimicrobial properties. Other product formulations, such as mouthwashes, are useful for imparting both acceptable flavor and antimicrobial properties.

Abstract: A fragrance composition having antimicrobial activity comprises between 3 and 20% phenolic compounds, and between 20 and 80% non-aromatic terpenoids. The fragrance composition may also, either alternatively or additionally, include essential oils containing phenolic compounds as a major constituent, and/or essential oils containing non-aromatic terpenoids as a major constituent. The fragrance composition further has an Odor Intensity Index of less than 100, and an Odor Evaluation Acceptability Index of greater than 50. The fragrance composition is suitable for use in a variety of products.
