摘要:
Described is a process for the preparation of compositions of matter containing unsaturated lactones defined according to the generic structure: wherein R represents C 6 alkyl or alkenyl; and X represents C 2 , C 4 or C 6 alkylene or alkenylene; with the provisos that R is C 6 alkyl when X is alkenylene and R is C 6 alkenyl when X is alkylene by means of the sequential steps of (i) fermentation of castor oil or ricinoleic acid using a microorganism selected from the group consisting of: Candida petrophilum, ATCC 20226; Candida oleophila, ATCC 20177; Candida sp., ATCC 20504; and Candida sake, ATCC 28137 whereby gamma hydroxydecanoic acid and a mixture of other acids defined according to the generic structure: is formed wherein Y represents an oxo-saturated, oxo-unsaturated or di-unsaturated C 9 , C 11 or C 13 moiety according to the reaction: (ii) lactonization of the resulting gamma hydroxydecanoic acid by means of simultaneous acidification and heating according to the reaction: and (iii) lactonization (via distillation) of one or more of the resulting acids defined according to the structure: to form one or more lactones defined according to the generic structure: according to the reaction: wherein the sum of the number of carbon atoms in the X moiety and in the R moiety is equal to the number of carbon atoms in the Y moiety minus 1. Also described are the products produced according to such process as well as their organoleptic utilities for augmenting or enhancing the aroma or taste of consumable materials selected from the group consisting of perfume compositions, colognes, perfumed articles, perfumed polymers, foodstuffs, chewing gums, medicinal products, toothpastes, chewing tobaccos and smoking tobaccos.
摘要:
Described is a process for producing one or more tastands including food, chewing gum, beverage (e.g., coffee, milk, cocoa and citrus/whey protein), oral care composition (e.g., toothpaste and mouthwash) and tobacco additives from Saccharum officinarum leaves (sugarcane leaves) by means of carrying out one or more physical separation unit operations on a plurality of such leaves, macerates thereof or mixtures of leaves and macerates thereof whereby one or more natural food, chewing gum, beverage, oral care composition or tobacco additives is separated and isolated from the remainder of the plurality of leaves, macerates thereof or mixtures of leaves and macerates thereof. Such unit operations include pressurization using hydraulic press means, steam distillation, fractional distillation, supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, volatile solvent extraction and/or charcoal column separation means. Also described is apparatus for carrying out such processes as well as the products produced using such processes and organoleptic uses of such products. Also described are compositions comprising (a) such tastands in admixture with (b) an eatable having a bitter and/or metallic taste. The eatable is any ingested material taken by mammals, such as foodstuffs, beverages, chewing gums, non-calorie food components or medicines including bitter chocolate or a drug such as ibuprofen. Also described are processes for augmenting, enhancing or imparting flavors in or to foodstuffs, chewing gums and beverages by adding thereto the aforementioned tastand taken alone or combined with a solid water-soluble carrier (as prepared using spray drying or freeze drying process steps) and other additives, including nutritional supplements such as calcium glycerophosphate. Also described are smoking tobacco compositions and articles comprising smoking tobacco and intimately admixed therewith an aroma or taste augmenting, enhancing or imparting quantity and concentration of one or more tastands (tobacco additive or tobacco article adjunct) (produced from Saccharum officinarum leaves (sugarcane leaves)) by means of carrying out the above-mentioned process.
