摘要:
Disclosed is a taste enhancing agent for achieving sufficient saltiness or sweetness even in cases where the salt content or sugar content in food is reduced. Specifically disclosed is a taste enhancing agent which contains one or more substances selected from among linear aliphatic aldehydes having 3-10 carbon atoms and linear aliphatic alcohols having 4-10 carbon atoms as active ingredients. The amount of salt content or sugar content added to food can be reduced by adding the taste enhancing agent to the food.

摘要:
A 1-bromoalkylbenzene derivative is prepared by reacting a phenylalkene derivative with hydrogen bromide in the presence of a non-polar solvent. The phenylalkene derivative is prepared by reacting an alkenyl halide with metal magnesium to form a Grignard reagent, and then reacting the Grignard reagent with a benzyl halide derivative. An allyl Grignard reagent is prepared by reacting continuously an allyl halide derivative with metal magnesium in an organic solvent, in which the allyl halide derivative and metal magnesium are continuously added to the reaction system and the allyl Grignard reagent formed is continuously removed from the reaction system. The processes provide the intended compounds in high yields, high selectivities and high purities.
