Abstract: Disclosed herein are small molecule compounds that can be used to modulate flavors in foods, beverages, and other articles intended for delivery to the oral cavity. The compounds include terpenoids, cinnamoyl and caffeic esters as disclosed herein. Suitable foods and beverages include coffee, beers, whole grains and vegetables.

Abstract: A seasoning composition having enhanced salt intensity includes a salt component and a sodium-free saltiness-perception enhancing compound. The saltiness-perception enhancing compound includes at least one of gentisic acid 5-O-?-D xylopyranoside or kukoamine A. The seasoning composition exhibits a mean saltiness intensity that is about the same as a second seasoning compound that has an amount of the salt component that is greater than the salt component in the seasoning composition and that does not contain the saltiness-perception enhancing compound. A seasoned food product may include a food product and the sodium-free saltiness-perception enhancing compound. The sodium-free saltiness-perception enhancing compound may be used in a method of reducing sodium intake and a method of enhancing the salt taste of a food product. The sodium-free saltiness-perception enhancing compound may be derived from Solanum tuberosum.

Abstract: This invention is directed to treating disease states or conditions associated with the treatment and prevention of neurodegeneration and neurodegenerative disease states, and treatment of radiation damage. The invention relates to novel phytonutrient compositions and compounds comprising L-ergothioneine and/or selenium. The invention also provides a method of administering these compositions and combinations to humans or animals in need thereof.

Abstract: The development of flavor compounds in a food is controlled by adding a flavonoid compound to the food. The flavonoid compound may comprise a phenolic compound, and specific phenolic compounds comprise catechins such as epicatechin, epigallocatechin gallate and similar compounds. Further disclosed herein is the control of the development of flavor compounds in a food during processing or storage by control of the Maillard reaction and/or by scavenging pyrazine radicals in the food. Such control may be achieved through the use of flavonoid compounds.
