  • Jasmonic acid and jasmonic acid ester stereoisomers and compositions
    Patent number: 7250160
    Abstract: Described is a bioprocess for the high-yield production of food flavor-acceptable jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate, as well as a novel jasmonic acid isomer produced thereby and organoleptic uses thereof. The process yields at least 5% of the “cis” isomer defined according the structure: (wherein R is hydrogen or methyl) or at least 5% of the “cis” isomer defined according to the structure: (wherein R is hydrogen or methyl). Compositions containing at least 98% of the isomer having the structure: with an optical rotation (?D20) of +58° are novel. Compositions containing at least 98% of the isomer having the structure: with an optical rotation (?D20) of +58° are also novel.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 3, 2002
    Date of Patent: July 31, 2007
    Assignee: International Flavors & Fragrances Inc.
    Inventors: Mohamad I. Farbood, Robert W. Blocker, Lynda B. McLean, Mark A. Sprecker, Michael P. McLean, Nicolas Kossiakoff, Augustine Yonghwi Kim, Myrna Hagedorn
  • Bioprocess for the high-yield production of food flavor-accaptable jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate, novel jasmonic acid isomer produced thereby and uses thereof
    Publication number: 20030186399
    Abstract: Described is a bioprocess for the high-yield production of food flavor-acceptable jasmonic acid and methyl jasmonate, as well as a novel jasmonic acid isomer produced thereby and organoleptic uses thereof.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 3, 2002
    Publication date: October 2, 2003

  • Process for preparing acetophenone, products produced therefrom and organoletpic uses of said products
    Patent number: 6482794
    Abstract: A process for producing acetephenone from a source of cinnamic acid is carried out with high amounts of oxygen and sugar in the presence of a bacteria species. Fragrance compositions and foodstuff compositions are augmented and enhanced by the presence of the product compound.
    Type: Grant
