Claims20
A flavor modifying composition comprising a taste modulating compound according to Formula I
- wherein
- m is 0 or 1,
- R3, R4 and R7 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and linear C1 to C3 alkyl groups,
- R1 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a linear C1 to C3 alkyl group, and —CH2OR′,
- R2 and R6 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, linear C1 to C3 alkyl groups, and —OR′ or R2 and R6 are connected to form a cycloalkane ring which is optionally substituted by a linear C1 to C3 alkyl group,
- R5 and R8 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, linear C1 to C3 alkyl groups, —CH2OR′, —CO—R′, and —OR′,
- R′ is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and a linear C1 to C3 alkyl group, with the proviso that
- when the double bond between C2 and C3 is present, R5 and R7 are absent,
- when m is 1 and the double bond between C4 and C5 is present, R3 and R1 are absent,
- when m is 0 and the double bond between C2 and C3 is present, R2 and R6 are connected to form the optionally substituted cyclohexane ring,
- wherein said flavor modifying composition further comprises a solvent selected from the group consisting of water, glycerol, ethanol, triacetin, vegetable oil, palm oil, soybean oil, rapeseed oil, sunflower seed oil, peanut oil, coconut oil, olive oil, and medium chain triglycerides;
- and
- wherein the taste modulating compound is selected from the group consisting of 2-acetyl-butyrolactone, 4-hydroxy-6-methyl-2-pyrone, 3,4-dihydro-6-methyl-2H-pyran-2-one, dihydroactinidiolide, 2-acetyl-2-methyl-gamma-butyrolactone, D-arabino-1,4-lactone, and mixtures thereof.
