SYN-OXIMES OF 4-SUBSTITUTED-1,4-CYCLOHEXADIEN-1-CARBOXALDEHYDES AS SWEETENING AGENTS

摘要

New compounds 4-methyl-1,4-cyclohexadiene-1-carboxaldehyde syn-oxime, 4-methoxymethyl-1,4-cyclohexadiene-1-carboxaldehyde syn-oxime, and 4-(1-methoxyethyl)-1,4-cyclohexadiene-1-carboxaldehyde syn-oxime, as well as the compound 1,4-cyclohexadiene-1-carboxaldehyde syn-oxime, are found to have a high degree of sweetness which is accompanied by very little off-taste. The compounds have good stability even in acid solution. They give no evidence of toxicity and can be employed in foods and beverages as synthetic sweetening ingredients.
