SYNTHETIC SPILANTHOL AND USE THEREOF

摘要

The present application provides a synthetic spilanthol flavor composition that includes (2E,6Z,8E)-N-(2-methylpropyl)-2,6,8-decatrienamide. The synthetic spilanthol composition can also contain, and at least one of (2E,6E,8E)-N-(2-methylpropyl)-2,6,8-decatrienamide and (2E,6Z,8Z)—N-(2-methylpropyl)-2,6,8-decatrienamide, the (N-(2-methylpropyl)-2,6,8-decatrienamide being present in amounts effective to impart a salivating or tingle effect while reducing the perception of off notes, as compared to the off-notes perceived upon consumption of natural spilanthol (e.g. spilanthol obtained from jambu oleoresin). Methods of increasing salivation and/or providing a tingling sensation upon consuming an orally consumable product that include adding to the product a synthetic spilanthol flavor composition are also provided. Synthetic spilanthol flavor compositions can be added to orally consumed products, such as, but not limited to, foods, beverages, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, or therapeutic compositions, oral personal care products, gums (e.g. chewing gum or bubble gum), candy or lozenges.

主权项

1. A method of increasing salivation and/or providing a tingling sensation upon consuming an orally consumable product, while reducing perceived off-notes, comprising adding to the orally consumable product a flavor composition comprising synthetic spilanthol, wherein the synthetic spilanthol contains (i) from 55% to 95% by weight of (2E,6Z,8E)-N-(2-methylpropyl)-2,6,8-decatrienamide, and (ii) one compound selected from the group consisting of (2E,6E,8E)-N-(2-methylpropyl)-2,6,8-decatrienamide, (2E,6Z,8Z)—N-(2-methylpropyl)-2,6,8-decatrienamide, and a combination thereof, and wherein each compound is present in an amount of at least 1% by weight based on the total amount of N-(2-methylpropyl)-2,6,8-decatrienamide in the composition.
