摘要

The invention relates to a process for flavouring foodstuffs by incorporating therein an effective amount of at least one compound R1-S-R2 with a specific, well defined structure such as (E)-2-methyl-1-(methylthio)-2-butene; S-ethyl thioformate; S-ethyl-2-(acetylamino)thioacetate; N-(2-methylthioethyl)acetamide; methyl-2-mercaptopropionate; propyl-2-mercaptopropionate; 2-(isopropylthio)pentane; 2-propenylthiol; 4-methyl-2-3H-thiazolone or tautomer; and 2,3-dimethyl-4-formylthiophene. The invention also covers a foodstuff and/or a flavouring concentrate containing at least one of the above identified compounds.
