Abstract

A mixtures which contain (a) at least one phenylalkenal of formula (I) wherein R 1 and R 2 independently represent hydrogen, a methyl or phenyl group, R 3 represents hydrogen, a phenyl group, alkenyl group or a linear or branched alkyl group with 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and the broken double lines independently represent a single bond or a double bond, and (b) at least one physiological cooling agent.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A flavor composition having an improved cooling sensation, the flavor or aroma composition comprising:
a physiological cooling agent to provide a cooling sensation; and
an effective amount of a phenylalkenal of formula (I)

to intensify the cooling sensation;
wherein R 1 and R 2 independently of one another represent hydrogen, a methyl or phenyl residue, R 3 stands for hydrogen, a phenyl, an alkenyl or a linear or branched alkyl residue with 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and the broken double lines represent, independently of one another, a single bond or a double bond.

2. The flavor composition of claim 1 , wherein R 1 and R 2 are different and denote hydrogen or phenyl, R 3 stands for hydrogen, an alkenyl or a linear or branched alkyl group with 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and the broken double lines represent, independently of one another, a single bond or a double bond.

3. The flavor composition of claim 1 , wherein the phenylalkenal of formula (I) is selected from a group comprising 2-phenyl-but-2-enal, 3-phenyl-pent-4-enal, 2-phenyl-pent-4-enal and mixtures thereof.

4. The flavor composition of claim 1 , wherein the phenylalkenal of formula (I) is mixture of 2-phenyl-pent-2-enal and a phenylalkenal selected from a group comprising 2-phenyl-but-2-enal, 3-phenyl-pent-4-enal, 2-phenyl-pent-4-enal, and mixtures thereof.

5. The flavor composition of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount of the phenylalkenal of formula (I) ranges from about 1 weight percent to about 99 weight percent of the flavor composition.

6. The flavor composition of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount of the phenylalkenal of formula (I) ranges from about 1 weight percent to about 80 weight percent of the flavor composition.

7. The flavor composition of claim 1 wherein the effective amount of the phenylalkenal of formula (I) ranges from about 1 weight percent to about 70 weight percent of the flavor composition.

8. A cosmetic preparation containing the flavor composition as claimed in claim 1 .

9. An oral hygiene products containing the flavor composition as claimed in claim 1 .

10. A pharmaceutical preparation containing the flavor composition as claimed in claim 1 .

11. A foodstuff containing the flavor composition as claimed in claim 1 .

12. A flavoring or perfume preparation containing the flavor composition as claimed in claim 1 .

13. The flavor composition of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount of the phenylalkenal of formula (I) ranges from about 1 weight percent to about 30 weight percent of the flavor composition.

14. The flavor composition of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount of the phenylalkenal of formula (I) ranges from about 1 weight percent to about 20 weight percent of the flavor composition.

15. The flavor composition of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount of the phenylalkenal of formula (I) ranges from about 1 weight percent to about 5 weight percent of the flavor composition.

16. The flavor composition of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount of the phenylalkenal of formula (I) ranges from about 20 weight percent to about 80 weight percent of the flavor composition.

17. The flavor composition of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount of the phenylalkenal of formula (I) ranges from about 20 weight percent to about 70 weight percent of the flavor composition.

18. The flavor composition of claim 1 , wherein the effective amount of the phenylalkenal of formula (I) ranges from about 30 weight percent to about 70 weight percent of the flavor composition.

19. A flavor composition having an improved cooling sensation, the flavor composition consisting essentially of:
a physiological cooling agent to provide a cooling sensation;
an effective amount of a phenylalkenal of formula (I)

to intensify the cooling sensation,
where R 1 and R 2 independently of one another represent hydrogen, a methyl or phenyl residue, R 3 stands for hydrogen, a phenyl, an alkenyl or a linear or branched alkyl residue with 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and the broken double lines represent, independently of one another, a single bond or a double bond; and
an aroma substance.

20. A flavor composition having an improved cooling sensation, the flavor composition consisting essentially of:
a physiological cooling agent to provide a cooling sensation; and
an effective amount of a phenylalkenal of formula (I)

to intensify the cooling sensation;
wherein R 1 and R 2 independently of one another represent hydrogen, a methyl or phenyl residue, R 3 stands for hydrogen, a phenyl, an alkenyl or a linear or branched alkyl residue with 1 to 5 carbon atoms, and the broken double lines represent, independently of one another, a single bond or a double bond.
