Abstract
The enhancement of foodstuffs is effected by the addition of a small but effective flavor-modifying amount of a compound from the group of compounds having the general formulae ##SPC1## Wherein R.sub.1 is an alkyl or acetyl group and R.sub.2 is hydrogen or a methyl group, with the proviso that R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 together comprise at least 2 carbon atoms; and ##SPC2## Wherein R is an alkyl group.
Claims96
As a new composition of matter a soluble coffee material having added thereto a minor, but flavor-modifying amount of a compound selected from the group of compounds having the general formulae:
- ##SPC5##
- wherein R1 is methyl, ethyl, propyl, acetyl or propionyl and R2 is hydrogen or a methyl group, with the proviso that R1 and R2 together comprise at least two carbon atoms;
- and ##SPC6##
- wherein R is ethyl or propyl.
A composition selected from the group consisting of foodstuffs and beverages having added thereto a minor, but flavor-modifying amount of a compound selected from the group of compounds having the general formulae:
- ##SPC10##
- where R1 is methyl, ethyl, propyl, acetyl or propionyl and R2 is hydrogen or a methyl group, with the proviso that R1 and R2 together comprise at least two carbon atoms;
- and ##SPC11##
- wherein R is ethyl or propyl.
A process for the alteration of the natural flavor of the soluble coffee material which comprises adding thereto a minor, but flavor-modifying amount of a compound selected from the group of compounds having the general formulae:
- ##SPC15##
- wherein R1 is methyl, ethyl, propyl, acetyl or propionyl and R2 is hydrogen or a methyl group, with the proviso that R1 and R2 together comprise at least two carbon atoms;
- and ##SPC16##
- and ##SPC17##
- wherein R is ethyl or propyl.
A process for the alteration of the flavor of a composition selected from the group consisting of foodstuffs and beverages which comprises adding thereto a minor, but flavor-modifying amount of a compound selected from the group of compounds having the general formulae:
- ##SPC21##
- wherein R1 is methyl, ethyl, propyl, acetyl or propionyl and R2 is hydrogen or a methyl group, with the proviso that R1 and R2 together comprise at least two carbon atoms;
- and ##SPC22##
- wherein R is ethyl or propyl.
