Described herein are perfuming compositions and perfumed consumer products including, as perfuming ingredients, cyclopentanone compounds of formula ##STR00001##
in a form of any one of its stereoisomers or a mixture thereof, where n represents 1.

Spearmint flavor enhancers and methods for the production thereof. The spearmint flavor enhancers may include l-carvone, l-carveol isomers, and d-dihydrocarveol isomers. The spearmint flavor enhancers may further include l-isocarveol isomers, l-carvyl acetate isomers, d-dihydrocarvyl acetate isomers, and l-isocarvyl acetate isomers.

Compositions which are fragrant and contain at least a member set culled from a library of compositions, each being comprised of sub-combinations of selected terpenes. Fragrances that mimic that of various states of organic and synthetic aromatics including products, processes and those from non-combusted plant products, among other things, uniquitous products, processes, medicinals, and related moieties leverage databases of all known terpene groupings are offered for consideration, and have been provided, according to the instant teachings.

The present invention provides edible compositions comprising a compound of the present invention, food products comprising such edible compositions and methods of preparing such food products. The present invention also provides methods of reducing the amount of NaCl in a food product, methods of reducing the sodium intake in a diet, and methods of reducing bitter taste in a food product.

The various aspects presented herein relate to the use of cyclohexanecarboxylic acids in flavored articles to improve the taste profile of the flavored article.

Provided are: a method for covering up (masking) a component with an offensive taste or odor without affecting the flavor of a food or beverage; a flavor composition; and a food and beverage. Masking of a component with an offensive taste or odor generated from an unsaturated fatty acid using a specific flavor component without impairing the flavor of a food or beverage.

Disclosed are 3-alkylcyclopent-2-en-1-one and 3-alkylcyclopentan-1-one derivatives of formula (I) possessing powerful spicy woody notes.

An object is to develop a novel bitter taste masking agent for potassium chloride, and a method of production comprising the masking agent, and the like. Provided is a bitter taste masking agent for potassium chloride comprising Peru balsam essential oil as an active component. Here, it is preferable that the bitter taste masking agent further comprises at least one or more selected from the group consisting of arginine, glutamic acid, lysine and citrulline. In addition, it is also preferable that the bitter taste masking agent further comprises at least one or more selected from the group consisting of acetoin, diacetyl and 2,3-pentanedione.

The conversion of nootkatol to nootkatene in a terpene blend is mitigated or prevented by substantially or completely separating the nootkatols such as -nootkatol from compounds present in the terpene blend that catalyze the chemical reaction of nootkatol to nootkatene, and/or by at least partially neutralizing the compounds present in the terpene blend that catalyze the chemical reaction of nootkatol to nootkatene. Methods of preparing terpene blends, terpene blends, flavour compositions containing the terpene blends, beverages and foodstuffs containing the flavour compositions, fragrance compositions containing the terpene blends, and fragranced products containing the fragrance composition are also disclosed.

The invention is rooted in the food industry and relates to a composition which provides a physiologically cooling effect for imparting freshness in the used preparations and comprises 2 to 10% cooling agent (A), 0 to 35% alcohol (B), 55 to 95% hydrophobic compound (C). Furthermore, the invention relates to the production and use of the composition according to the invention in oral preparations, in particular chewing gums and sweets.
