Abstract

This disclosure relates to flavour modification and to compounds of formula (I)

wherein
R 1 is selected from C 6 -C 20 alkyl, and C 9 -C 25 alkenyl, and
i) R 3 and R 4 are hydrogen and R 2 the residue of a proteinogenic amino acid; ii) R 2 and R 3 are methyl and R 4 is hydrogen; or R 4 is hydrogen and R 2 and R 3 form together with the carbon atom to which they are attached cyclopropyl; iii) R 2 is hydrogen, and R 3 and R 4 together are —CH 2 —CH 2 —CH 2 —,

useful in modifying flavours.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A flavour composition of comprising a flavour co-ingredient and a compound selected from:
N-(3-(methylthio)propyl)oleamide and
N-(4-amino-4-oxobutyl)oleamide,
wherein the flavour composition provides an organoleptic effect to comestible product when the compound is incorporated in a comestible product at a concentration of 1 ppb-1 ppm.

2. A flavour composition according to claim 1 , wherein the flavour co-ingredient is selected from: sugars, fats, salts, monosodium glutamate, calcium ions, phosphate ions, organic acids, proteins, purines, flavours, and mixtures thereof.

3. The flavour composition of claim 1 , wherein the flavour composition provides an organoleptic effect to a comestible product when the compound is incorporated in a comestible product at a concentration of 1 ppb-500 ppb.

4. A comestible product comprising a compound selected from:
N-(3-(methylthio)propyl)oleamide and
N-(4-amino-4-oxobutyl)oleamide,
wherein the said compound is present in the comestible product at a concentration of 1 ppb-1 ppm.

5. A taste modifying agent for incorporation in a comestible product, the said taste modifying agent comprising a compound selected from:
N-(3-(methylthio)propyl)oleamide and
N-(4-amino-4-oxobutyl)oleamide,
wherein the taste modifying agent is present in the comestible product at a concentration of 1 ppb-1 ppm.

6. The comestible product of claim 4 , wherein the comestible product comprises salt or alcohol or coolant compounds, and said compound is present in the comestible product at a concentration of 1-100 ppb.

7. The comestible product of claim 4 , wherein the comestible product comprises an umami tastant, and said compound is present in the comestible product at a concentration of 100 ppb-250 ppb.

8. The comestible product of claim 4 , wherein the comestible product comprises fats, and said compound is present in the comestible product at a concentration of 500 ppb-1 ppm.

9. The comestible product of claim 4 , wherein the comestible product is an alcoholic beverage, and said compound is present in the alcoholic beverage at a concentration of 1 ppb-1 ppm.

10. The comestible product according to claim 4 , wherein the comestible product is a beverage containing a sweetener, and said compound is present in the comestible product at a concentration of 1 ppb-10 ppm.

11. The comestible product according to claim 4 , wherein the comestible product is a soy-based product or a fish-based product, and said compound is present in the comestible product at a concentration of 1 ppb-10 ppm.
