An acylamino acid compound is described which can be used in food preparations to generate a savory tingling sensation without burning effect.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A food preparation comprising an acylamino acid compound or a salt thereof in an amount from 10 micrograms to 500 milligrams per kilogram of the food preparation, the acylamino acid compound selected from the group consisting of (S,Z)-2-dodec-5-enamidopropanoic acid, (Z)-2-dodec-5-enamidoacetic acid, (S)-2-((9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadeca-9,12,15 trienamido)propanoic acid, (S,Z)-2-hexadec-9-enamidopropanoic acid, (S)-2-((2E,6Z)-dodeca-2,6-dienamido)propanoic acid, and combinations thereof, the food preparation creates a tingling sensation and not a burning sensation in the oral cavity of an individual consuming the food preparation. 2. A method for manufacturing a food product, the method comprising using an acylamino acid compound or a salt thereof in an amount from 10 micrograms to 500 milligrams per kilogram of the food product, the acylamino acid compound selected from the group consisting of (S,Z)-2-dodec-5-enamidopropanoic acid, (Z)-2-dodec-5-enamidoacetic acid, (S)-2-((9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadeca-9,12,15 trienamido)propanoic acid, (S,Z)-2-hexadec-9-enamidopropanoic acid, (S)-2-((2E,6Z)-dodeca-2,6-dienamido)propanoic acid, and combinations thereof, the food product creates a tingling sensation and not a burning sensation in the oral cavity of an individual consuming the food product. 3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the food product is selected from the group consisting of a spice, a flavour and a seasoning. 4. The food preparation of claim 1 , wherein the acylamino acid compound is (S,Z)-2-dodec-5-enamidopropanoic acid. 5. The food preparation of claim 1 , wherein the acylamino acid compound is (Z)-2-dodec-5-enamidoacetic acid. 6. The food preparation of claim 1 , wherein the acylamino acid compound is (S)-2-((9Z,12Z,15Z)-octadeca-9,12,15 trienamido)propanoic acid. 7. The food preparation of claim 1 , wherein the acylamino acid compound is (S,Z)-2-hexadec-9-enamidopropanoic acid. 8. The food preparation of claim 1 , wherein the acylamino acid compound is (S)-2-((2E,6Z)-dodeca-2,6-dienamido)propanoic acid.
