  • Organic Compounds
    Patent number: 10674755
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to flavour modification and to compounds of formula (I) wherein R1 is selected from C6-C20 alkyl, and C9-C25 alkenyl, and i) R3 and R4 are hydrogen and R2 the residue of a proteinogenic amino acid; ii) R2 and R3 are methyl and R4 is hydrogen; or R4 is hydrogen and R2 and R3 form together with the carbon atom to which they are attached cyclopropyl; iii) R2 is hydrogen, and R3 and R4 together are —CH2—CH2—CH2—, useful in modifying flavours.

  • N-acylated 1-aminocycloalkyl carboxylic acids as food flavouring compounds
    Patent number: 10201175
    Abstract: Compounds represented by the formula and their edible salts, and edible compositions containing same wherein R1 is an alkyl residue containing 6 to 20 carbon atoms, or an alkene residue containing from 9 to 25 carbon atoms with 1 to 6 double bonds, such that R1 together with the carbonyl group to which it is attached is a residue of a carboxylic acid, and the amino acid residue connected to the carbonyl carbon atom is a residue of a 1-amino cycloalkane carboxylic acid (ACCA), and n is 1, 2, 3 or 4.
