Abstract:
The present invention is directed to the use of yeasts to produce spiroketal fragrance materials. The preferred yeasts used in the method of the invention are Bensingtonia ciliate and Cryptococcus laurentii.
Abstract:
Described are mixtures of at least four of the alkadienamides defined according to the structure: wherein R represents C1-C2 n-alkyl; R1 is 2-methyl-1-propyl and R2 is hydrogen, or R1 and R2 taken together is a moiety having the formula —(CH2)n— wherein n is 4 or 5, or compositions containing substantial concentrations of such mixtures, prepared according to novel processes: (a) extraction of a ground substantially dried fruit of one of the Piper species, Piper longum Linn or Piper peepuloides; (b) natural product-forming synthesis; or (c) synthetic product-forming synthesis. Also described are uses of the thus-formed products for augmenting, enhancing or imparting an aroma, taste, chemesthetic effect and/or antibacterial effect in or to a consumable material and/or in the oral cavity and/or on the mammalian epidermis.
Abstract:
This invention pertains to a method for flavoring an ingestible composition with a flavoring agent in organoleptically purified form, unaccompanied by substances of natural origin present in mango. The flavoring agent may be used in a wide variety of ingestible vehicles such as chewing gum compositions, hard and soft confections, dairy products, beverage products including juice drinks and juice products, green vegetable and chicken products, and the like. The present invention also pertains to an ingestible composition comprising an ingestible vehicle and an organoleptically effective amount of the purified flavoring agent. The present invention further pertains to ethyl 3-mercaptobutyrate represented by the formula, CH3(SH)CHCH2COOCH2CH3, in purified form, unaccompanied by substances of natural origin present in mango. The present invention still further pertains to a method to confer, enhance, improve, or modify the odor properties of a perfuming composition or a perfumed article, which comprises adding to the perfuming composition or perfumed article, ethyl 3-mercaptobutyrate represented by the formula, CH3(SH)CHCH2COOCH2CH3. The present invention still further pertains to a perfuming composition or a perfumed article containing as an active perfuming ingredient, ethyl 3-mercaptobutyrate represented by the formula, CH3(SH)CHCH2COOCH2CH3. The present invention also pertains to a method for preparing ethyl 3-mercaptobutyrate which comprises reacting ethyl crotonate with sodium hydrogen sulfide and sodium bicarbonate to form the disulfide dimer of ethyl 3-mercaptobutyrate followed by reducing the disulfide dimer to yield ethyl 3-mercaptobutyrate.

Abstract:
Described is a genus of E2,E4,Z8-undecatrienoic acid derivatives defined according to the structure: wherein Z represents —OR″ or —NRR′ with the provisos that when Z is —OR″, R″ is hydrogen, C1-C6 straight chain or branched-chain alkyl or C3-C6 straight chain or branched-chain alkenyl; and when Z is —NRR′, R represents, in the alternative, hydrogen, methyl or ethyl and R′ represents methyl, ethyl, n-propyl, cyclopropyl, isopropyl, n-butyl, sec-butyl, isobutyl, 2-methylbutyl, cyclobutyl, cyclopentyl or allyl. The E2,E4,Z8-undecatrienoic acid derivatives are useful in imparting, augmenting and/or enhancing flavors, aromas and somatosensory effects in or to consumable materials such as foods, beverages, skin care products, oral care products, medicinal products and the like. Also described is a synthesis process for producing such derivatives.
