摘要

In one embodiment, this invention provides a smoking composition which contains a flavorant additive which releases menthol under normal cigarette smoking conditions. The menthol-release additive is a mixture of menthyloxycarbonylglucose compounds which include more than 35 mole percent of 1-o-menthyloxycarbonyl-.beta.-D-glucopyranose and more than about 20 mole percent of 1,6-di-O-menthyloxycarbonyl-.beta.-D-glucopyranose.
