Abstract:
A method of providing a cooling sensation to the skin or the mucous membranes of the body by applying thereto a compound of Formula I in which X is H or (CH2)n—R, n is 0 or 1, Y and Z are selected independently from the group consisting of H, OH, phenyl, C1-C4 straight or branched alkyl, or, a C1-C4 straight or branched alkoxy, or X and Y form together a bivalent radical selected from the group consisting of —O—CH2—O—, —N═CH—O— and —N═CH—S— which forms together with the carbon atoms to which they are attached a 5-membered ring; and R is a group with non-bonding electrons, R1 is H or C1-C5 branched alkyl, R2 and R3 are C1-C4 branched alkyls, or R2 and R3 taken together form a monocyclic, bicyclic or tricyclic radical of up to 10 carbons provided that R1, R2 and R3 together comprise at least 6 carbons. The compounds may be incorporated into products such as dentifrices, foodstuffs, confectionery, beverages, and cosmetic and medicinal preparations.
Abstract:
Processes and compositions are described for the use in smoking tobacco flavor and aroma augmenting, modifying, enhancing and imparting compositions and as smoking tobacco aroma or flavor imparting, augmenting or enhancing materials of a mixture of compounds having the generic structure: ##STR1## wherein X is a moiety selected from the group consisting of: ##STR2## and wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are different, one of R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 being methyl, and the other of R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 being ethyl, or mixtures of same, including (i) 2,4,6-triisobutyl-1,3,5-trioxane and (ii) 2-isobutyl dialkyloxazolines.
Abstract:
Methods are provided for measuring the accumulation of advanced glycosylation endproducts (AGEs), and for lowering the accumulation of advanced glycosylation endproducts, which are predicated on the discovery that such AGEs and their precedent glycotoxins are present in tobacco and its byproducts. More particularly, the methods focus on the observation that individuals who smoke or otherwise use tobacco have increased levels of AGEs relative to non-smoking individuals. The present methods relate to the measurement of AGE levels in both individuals and in tobacco and its byproduct, smoke, and to the treatment of such individuals with agents capable of reacting with glycosylation products to either avert or diminish the accretion of AGEs in the body. Methods are also provided for the evaluation of the tobacco products to determine their storage status and organoleptic capacity and potential, for the treatment of the ambient atmosphere to lower AGE levels, and for the treatment of the tobacco products and combustion byproducts to lower AGE levels therein. For example, air or other samples may be taken and evaluated by a dosimeter or like device, to determine whether AGE levels exceed normal, after which measures could be implemented to remediate the ambient condition. Likewise, filters and similar devices for removing AGEs from tobacco smoke are provided. All such methods and corresponding materials are contemplated and included.

Abstract:
Processes and compositions are described for the use in foodstuffs, chewing gums, toothpastes and medicinal product flavor and aroma augmenting, modifying, enhancing and imparting compositions and as foodstuff, chewing gum, toothpaste and medicinal product imparting, augmenting or enhancing materials of a mixture of compounds having the structures: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are different and each represents ethyl or methyl. Addition of such mixtures to foodstuffs, foodstuff flavorings, chewing gums, toothpastes and medicinal products produces therein sweet, dark chocolate and cocoa powder-like aroma characteristics with dark chocolate, cocoa powder-like, and spicey flavor characteristics and bitter chocolate aftertastes.
Abstract:
Processes for altering the flavors of products, including foodstuffs and tobaccos, which comprise adding thereto a small but effective amount of at least one heterocyclic pyrazine having the formula:
WHEREIN Y is -O-, -S-, -CH2-O-, or CH2- S-, and R1, R2, R3, R4, R5 and R6 are the same or different and represent hydrogen and lower alkyl; the products so produced; flavoring and flavorenhancing compositions containing such heterocyclic pyrazines; and novel heterocyclic pyrazines and processes for their production.
Abstract:
Described is a tobacco product having added thereto an amount sufficient to augment or enhance the flavor or aroma of the tobacco product particularly on smoking, of one or more sulfide compounds having the generic structure: ##STR1## wherein, when A is: ##STR2## B is: ##STR3## AND WHEN A is: ##STR4## B is: ##STR5## processes for producing such tobacco products and flavor formulations for use in conjunction with tobacco products containing one or more of such sulfide compounds.
Abstract:
This application relates to 2-methyl-5,7-dihydrothieno-[3,4d]-pyrimidine, which is useful for flavoring foodstuffs or tobacco compositions and altering the fragrance of perfume compositions.
