Abstract

A flavour composition comprising a compound according to the formula (I) or edible salts thereof,

wherein

R 1 is alkyl residue containing 6 to 20 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 to which it is attached is a residue carboxylic acid, and NR 2 R 3 , in which R 3 is H or together with R 2 and the N-atom to which they are attached, a 5-membered ring, is a residue of an amino acid, in particular proteinogenic amino acid, ornithine, gamma-aminobutyric acid or beta alanine, or a 1-amino cycloalkyl carboxylic acid.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A flavour composition comprising N-oleoyl-serine, or an edible salt thereof selected from chlorides, sulphates, phosphates, gluconates, sodium, citrates, carbonates, acetates, and lactates; and at least one flavour co-ingredient.

2. The flavour composition according to claim 1 wherein the at least one flavour co-ingredient is selected from the group consisting of sugars, fats, salt, MSG, calcium ions, phosphate ions, organic acids, proteins, purines and mixtures thereof.

3. The flavour composition according to claim 1 further comprising a carrier material and an adjuvant.

4. The flavour composition according to claim 3 wherein the adjuvant is an antioxidant.

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

6. The flavour composition according to claim 1 in the form of a powder.

7. The flavour composition according to claim 6 wherein the powder is formed by spray drying.

8. An edible composition comprising the flavour composition according to claim 1 .

9. A caloric or non-caloric beverage comprising the flavour composition according to claim 1 .

10. The caloric or non-caloric beverage according to claim 9 containing carbohydrate sweeteners, selected from sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, fructose and glucose, or high intensity, non-nutritive sweeteners selected from aspartame, acesulfame K, sucralose, cyclamate, sodium saccharin, neotame, rebaudioside A, and/or other stevia -based sweeteners.

11. An edible constituent composition adapted to be added to or to form part of an edible composition selected from a foodstuff and a beverage composition, the edible constituent composition comprising N-oleoyl-serine, wherein the N-oleoyl-serine accentuates an existing flavor or existing mouth feel characteristics of the edible composition selected from a foodstuff composition and a beverage composition comprising at least one flavor co-ingredient, when the N-oleoyl-serine is incorporated in the edible composition in an amount of 1 ppb-10 ppm.

12. An edible composition selected from a foodstuff and a beverage composition, the edible composition comprising:
N-oleoyl-serine in an amount of 1 ppb-10 ppm based on the total weight of the edible composition; and
at least one flavour co-ingredient,
wherein the N-oleoyl-serine accentuates an existing flavour or existing mouth feel characteristics of the edible composition.
