The present invention relates to dodecandien-1-ol, dodecen-1-ol or mixtures thereof and a method of preparing same, to the use of dodecandien-1-ol, dodecen-1-ol or mixtures thereof as aroma chemical; to the use of dodecandien-1-ol, dodecen-1-ol or mixtures thereof for preparing an aroma chemical composition or for modifying the aroma character of an aroma chemical composition; to an aroma chemical composition containing dodecandien-1-ol, dodecen-1-ol or mixtures thereof; and to a method of preparing an aromatized composition or for modifying the aroma character of an aromatized composition.

An object is to provide a solid composition which is excellent in capability of retaining linalool and geraniol. A solid composition containing linalool d geraniol has dextrin having a molecular weight of 50,000 or more incorporated therein.

An object of the present invention is to provide a solid composition that provides floral aroma when added to a medium such as water. The solid composition comprises linalool, geraniol, and 2-methylbutanal, and has a weight ratio of 2-methylbutanal content to total linalool and geraniol content which is adjusted to be in the range of from 0.015 to 0.215.

The present invention has been made, for oral compositions comprising tectorigenins, for the purpose of ameliorating the taste of oral compositions comprising tectorigenins and ameliorating the stability of such oral compositions and the combination of tectorigenins and a specific compound can ameliorate the taste or stability of oral compositions comprising tectorigenins.

A consumable comprising an ingredient or ingredients that cause an off-taste in the consumable, and a chlorogenic acid provided in a concentration sufficient to mask or modify the off-taste. The chlorogenic acid may be supplied as an extract from a botanical source obtained by extraction at 30-80° C. with water and/or a polar organic solvent. The method of making an off-taste by addition of a chlorogenic acid to a consumable is also claimed.

A flavor nanoemulsion. The nanoemulsion contains a plurality of oil droplets, an aqueous phase, and a surfactant system including a polyethoxylated sorbitan fatty acid ester and a lecithin. Also disclosed is a liquid beverage or a liquid beverage concentrate containing the nanoemulsion and a method of preparing the same.

The present invention is related to a novel and improved process for the preparation of 3,7-dimethylnonan-1-ol.

Mouth-coating feel enhancers containing a heated substance of the following (A) and/or a heated substance of the following (B), or at least one compound selected from compound group (C) described in the present specification: (A) (A1) a compound represented by the formula (I):

##STR00001##

wherein each symbol is as defined in the present specification, and (A2) at least one selected from the group consisting of an aliphatic aldehyde having 3 to 14 carbon atoms, an aromatic aldehyde having 7 to 12 carbon atoms, an aliphatic alcohol having 3 to 12 carbon atoms, and a substance that produces at least one of these compounds by heating (B) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of β-caryophyllene and a β-caryophyllene analogous compound are effective as mouth-coating feel enhancers and coffee-roasting sensation enhancers.
