POLY(ISOPROPENYL ESTERS)AS CARBOXYLIC ACID-RELEASE AGENTS ON TO-BACCO

摘要

A tobacco flavorant having reduced mobility and/or volatility at ambient temperatures when incorporated in a tobacco composition. This invention provides carboxylic acid flavorant-release oligomeric and polymeric derivatives corresponding to the structural formula: (FORMULA) wherein R is a member selected from aliphatic, alicyclic, and aromatic hydrocarbon radicals an n is an interger. The oligomeric and polymeric derivatives are stable when used in smoking products and on pyrolysis release the carboxylic acid flavorants to enhance the flavor and aroma of the smoke.
