Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a novel flavoring agent, a flavoring agent composition, and an article including the same, and more particularly, to a flavoring agent as a compound that includes a moiety derived from a sugar compound and a moiety derived from a flavoring compound in a basic backbone and is pyrolyzed into a lactone compound, a sugar compound, and a flavoring compound upon pyrolysis, and a composition and an article including the same.
Claims18
A flavoring agent as a compound represented by Formula 1 below:
- (In Formula 1 above,
- n is an integer of 1 or 2,
- R is a straight-chain or branched-chain alkyl group having 1 to 30 carbon atoms,
- a moiety A′ is a moiety derived from a flavoring compound having at least one of an aromatic ring, an aliphatic ring, and an aliphatic chain having a hydroxyl group (—OH), wherein the hydroxyl group participates in a carbonate linkage
- and the moiety A′ corresponds to a flavoring compound excluding the hydroxyl group participating in the carbonate linkage, and
- a moiety G′ is a moiety derived from a sugar compound, wherein at least one of hydroxyl groups (—OH) linked to a ring of the sugar compound participates in an ester linkage
- G′ corresponds to a sugar compound excluding the hydroxyl group participating in the ester linkage, and m is the number of
- linked to the moiety G′ by the ester linkage, and an integer of 1 to 8).
