Abstract

A flavour composition comprising a compound of formula (I) and edible salts thereof, wherein R 1 is an alkyl residue containing 2 to 18 carbon atoms, or an alkene residue containing from 9 to 25 carbon atoms with 1 to 6 double bonds, R 1 together with the carbonyl group to which it is attached is a residue of a carboxylic acid.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A flavour composition comprising:
a sulfoxide compound selected from the group consisting of (2S)-2-acetamido-4-(methylsulfinyl)butanoic acid; (2 S)-2-hexanamido-4-(methylsulfinyl)butanoic acid; (2 S)-2-decanamido-4-(methylsulfinyl)butanoic acid; (2 S)-2-((Z)-dodec-5-enamido)-4-(methylsulfinyl)butanoic acid; (2 S)-2-dodecanamido-4-(methylsulfinyl)butanoic acid;
(2 S)-4-(methylsulfinyl)-2-tetradecanami dobutanoic acid; (2 S)-4-(methyl sulfinyl)-2-pentadecanami dobutanoic acid; (2S)-4-(methylsulfinyl)-2-palmitamidobutanoic acid;
(2 S)-2-heptadecanami do-4-(methyl sulfinyl)butanoic acid; (2 S)-4-(methyl sulfinyl)-2-((9Z,12Z)-octadeca-9,12-dienamido)butanoic acid; (2 S)-4-(methyl sulfinyl)-2-oleamidobutanoic acid; (2S)-3-(methylsulfinyl)-2-oleamidopropanoic acid and (2S)-4-(methylsulfinyl)-2-stearamidobutanoic acid; and at least one flavour co-ingredient;
wherein the sulfoxide compound accentuates the taste or mouth feel characteristics of edible products in which it is incorporated when the sulfoxide compound is present at a level of from 1 part per billion to 10 parts per million based on the total weight of an edible product.

2. The flavour composition according to claim 1 in the form of an emulsion.

3. The flavour composition according to 1 , wherein the flavour composition is in the form of a powder.

4. The flavour composition according to claim 3 , wherein the flavour composition is a spray dried powder.

5. An edible composition comprising (2S)-3-(methylsulfinyl)-2-oleamidopropanoic acid present at a level of from 1 part per billion to 10 parts per million based on the total weight of the edible composition.

6. The edible composition according to claim 5 wherein the edible composition is a cheese sauce.

7. An edible composition comprising (2S)-4-(methylsulfinyl)-2-oleamidobutanoic acid present at a level of from 1 part per billion to 10 parts per million based on the total weight of the edible composition.
