Abstract
Described for use in foodstuffs, chewing gums, toothpastes, medicinal products flavor and aromas, smoking tobacco flavor and aroma and perfume, cologne and perfumed article aroma augmenting, modifying, enhancing and imparting compositions and as foodstuffs, chewing gums, toothpastes, medicinal products, tobacco, perfume and perfumed article and cologne aroma imparting materials are mixtures of 1-ethoxy-1-ethanol acetate having the structure: ##STR1## (also hereinafter referred to as "E") and acetaldehyde (also hereinafter referred to as "A"), the range of weight ratios, E:A being from 50:50 down to 5:95.
Claims15
A mixture of 1-ethoxy-1-ethanol acetate having the structure:
- ##STR11## and acetaldehyde, the range of weight ratios of 1-ethoxy-1-ethanol acetate:acetaldehyde being from 50:50 down to 5:95.
A process for the preparation of a flavoring composition which comprises subliming water vapor from ice crystals by means of applying a vacuum to a frozen mixture comprising (a) from about 6 to 1 parts water;
- (b) from about 4 to 2 parts of an ingestibly acceptable non-hygroscopic carrier comprising a non-hygroscopic carbohydrate and (c) from about 2 to 1 parts of 1-ethoxy-1-ethanol acetate:acetaldehyde mixture the range of weight ratios of 1-ethoxy-1-ethanol acetate:acetaldehyde being from 50:50 down to 5:95 and obtaining a composition stably retaining at least 7% by weight of acetaldehyde:1-ethoxy-1-ethanol acetate mixture, based on the total weight of acetaldehyde:1-ethoxy-1-ethanol acetate mixture, said non-hygroscopic carbohydrate carrier, and water.
A flavoring composition comprising an ingestibly acceptable carrier comprising a non-hygroscopic carbohydrate and a mixture of 1-ethoxy-1-ethanol acetate and acetaldehyde, the range of weight ratios of 1-ethoxy-1-ethanol acetate:acetaldehyde being from 50:50 down to 5:95, the acetaldehyde being present in excess of about 7% by weight based on the total weight of 1-ethoxy-1-ethanol acetate:acetaldehyde mixture, said carbohydrate and water.
A process for augmenting or enhancing the aroma or taste of a foodstuff comprising the step of adding to foodstuff from 0.05 parts per million up to about 500 parts per million based on the total composition of a mixture of 1-ethoxy-1-ethanol acetate having the structure:
- ##STR12## and acetaldehyde, the range of weight ratios of 1-ethoxy-1-ethanol acetate:acetaldehyde being from 50:50 down to 5:95.
A process for augmenting or enhancing the aroma or taste of a chewing gum comprising the step of adding to a chewing gum base from 0.05 ppm up to about 500 parts per million of a mixture of 1-ethoxy-1-ethanol acetate having the structure:
- ##STR13## and acetaldehyde, the range of weight ratios of 1-ethoxy-1-ethanol acetate:acetaldehyde being from 50:50 down to 5:95.
