A method for masking an unpleasant smell of an oral product, comprising:
- adding at least one aroma compound selected from the group consisting of S-(2-methyl-3-furyl) ethanethioate, beta-caryophyllene oxide, beta-ionone, 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-dithiane, methyl anthranilate, S-furfuryl thioformate, 1-isothiocyanate-3-(methylthio)propane, nootkatone, 1,4-dioxacycloheptadecane-5,17-dione, and sclareol to the oral product,
- wherein the unpleasant smell of the oral product is a hexanal odor of a soybean-containing oral product or a hexanal odor derived from oxidation of fat or oil in a processed meat product, and
- wherein the amount of the aroma compound added to the oral product is from 2×10−2 weight ppm to 2×107 weight ppm, with respect to the hexanal content of the oral product.
A method for producing an oral product in which a hexanal odor is masked, comprising:
- adding at least one aroma compound selected from the group consisting of S-(2-methyl-3-furyl)ethanethioate, beta-caryophyllene oxide, beta-ionone, 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-dithiane, methyl anthranilate, S-furfuryl thioformate, 1-isothiocyanate-3-(methylthio)propane, nootkatone, 1,4-dioxacycloheptadecane-5,17-dione, and sclareol to the oral product,
- wherein the oral product is a soybean-containing oral product or a processed meat product, and
- wherein the amount of the aroma compound added to the oral product is from 2×10−2 weight ppm to 2×107 weight ppm, with respect to the hexanal content of the oral product.
