Abstract: This invention relates to a novel formulation and its method of manufacture, for liquid potpourri utilizing a gelable acrylic acid copolymer, hydroxypropylcellulose, and a water or aqueous alcohol carrier, which form a polymer matrix when the pH raised to between 5 and 7. Encapsulated fragrance droplets are suspended in the matrix.

Abstract: One or more five or six membered oxathio heterocyclic compounds having one sulfur atom and one oxygen atom, such as an oxathiolane or an oxathiane, is used to alter, modify or enhance the flavor or aroma of a foodstuff, chewing gum or medicinal product. Among said oxathio heterocyclic compounds are the seven novel compounds:2,6-dimethyl-2-phenyl-1,3-oxathiane2-isobutyl-6-methyl-1,3-oxathianeEthyl-2,6-dimethyl-1,3-oxathiane-2-acetate2,6-dimethyl-2-acetyl-1,3-oxathiane2-n-nonyl-6-methyl-1,3-oxathiane2-isobutyl-1,3-oxathiolane7-methyl(6-oxa-10-thiaspiro) 4.

Abstract: The flavor and aroma of tobacco products are altered by adding thereto an effective amount of at least one N-substituted pyrrole having the formula: ##SPC1##Wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydrogen or alkyl and are the same or different and R.sub.3 is alkyl containing eight to fourteen carbon atoms, alkenyl containing three or four carbon atoms, cycloalkyl containing from three to twelve carbon atoms, phenalkyl containing seven to eleven carbon atoms, carboalkoxyalkyl having three to seven carbon atoms, alkoxyphenylalkyl having eight to twelve carbon atoms, hydroxyalkyl having two to five carbon atoms, alkoxyalkyl having two to six carbon atoms, (alkylthio)-alkyl having two to six carbon atoms, mercaptoalkyl having from two to six carbon atoms, mercaptophenyl, pyrazinyl, pyridinyl, or thiazolyl.

Abstract: Processes for imparting fruity flavors to foodstuffs by adding to foodstuffs a small amount of at least one sulfinate according to the formula: ##EQU1## wherein R.sub.1 is selected from the group consisting of methyl, n-hexyl and n-decyl and R.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of methyl, n-hexyl and n-propyl, provided that when R.sub.1 is methyl, R.sub.2 is n-propyl, or n-hexyl; and provided that when R.sub.2 is methyl, R.sub.1 is n-decyl or n-hexyl, effective to alter the flavor and/or aroma of foodstuffs, together with compositions containing such sulfinates and adapted to alter the flavor and/or aroma of foodstuffs.

Abstract: Processes for imparting flavors and aromas to consumable materials, for example vegetable flavors to foodstuffs or perique flavors to tobacco, by adding to such materials a small amount of at least one thioester according to the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is alkyl, aryl, aralkyl, alkaryl, cycloalkyl, or alkenyl and R.sub.2 is alkyl, alkylthioalkyl, aralkyl, alkaryl, or aryl, R.sub.1 containing at least two carbon atoms when R.sub.2 is an alkyl group containing three or four carbon atoms, effective to alter the flavor and/or aroma of such materials, together with compositions containing such thioesters and adapted to alter the flavor and/or aroma of such materials, novel cycloalkyl and alkenyl thiopropionates useful for such purposes, and processes for producing such novel thiopropionates.
