Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to coolness-modifying compositions that enhance the cooling effect of cooling compounds, such as menthol, cubebol, and the like. In some aspects, the disclosure provides uses of such coolness-modifying compositions to cooling effect of cooling compounds. In some other aspects, the disclosure provides compositions (such as comestible compositions or oral care compositions), which comprise a cooling compound (for example, menthol, cubebol, and the like) and a coolness-modifying composition of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, such compositions are in the form of a food product, a beverage product, or an oral care product, such as a toothpaste, a mouthwash, a tooth-whitening composition, a chewing gum, a dentifrice, and the like. In some other embodiments, such compositions are in the form of a body care product, such as a cosmetic product, a skin care product, or a hair care product.

Abstract: The various aspects presented herein relate to the cooling and flavor boosting compositions, and their use thereof.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally provides the flavor compositions that impart a wintergreen taste, but which include reduced amounts methyl salicylate. In some embodiments, the flavor compositions contain no methyl salicylate. In related aspects, the disclosure provides the use of such flavor compositions to reduce or eliminate methyl salicylate in a flavored product, such as a wintergreen-flavored product. In some embodiments, such compositions are incorporated into a flavored product, such as a food product, a beverage product, or an oral care product, such as a toothpaste, a mouthwash, a tooth-whitening composition, mouthwash, chewing gum, and the like.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally provides the use glucosylated natural steviol glycosides (GSGs) to reduce certain undesirable taste notes common to oral care products. In related aspects, the disclosure provides compositions that comprise GSGs and one or more ingredients that give rise to certain undesirable taste notes. In some embodiments, such compositions are in the form of a food product, a beverage product, or an oral care product, such as a toothpaste, a mouthwash, a tooth-whitening composition, and the like.

Abstract: A method of making a 3-alkylcycloalkanol of formula 2: where R1 represents a methyl or ethyl group, R2 represents hydrogen, R3 represents an ethyl, propyl, butyl, isobutyl or isoamyl group, R4 represents hydrogen and R5 represents hydrogen, or a methyl, ethyl, propyl, isobutyl or isoamyl group comprises the following steps: (1) carrying out an electrophilic substitution reaction of an alkyl group or precursor thereof, on an ortho-substituted alkylbenzene compound of formula 3: where R6 represents hydrogen, or a methyl or ethyl group; (2) hydrogenating the reaction product of step (1); (3) performing an elimination reaction on one or more reaction products of step (2) to produce one or more alkene products; and (4) hydrating the one or more alkene products of step (3) to provide a 3-alkylcycloalkanol of formula 2. The electrophilic substitution reaction of step (1) may be a Friedel-Crafts acylation, e.g. using an isopropyl ketone precursor, or a Friedel-Crafts alkylation, e.g. using an isobutyl group.
