A compound (including salts thereof) according to Formula I in which

Pyridine derivatives with umami flavour

A method of providing a range of flavors to an orally-receivable or ingestible product, the method including adding at least one compound, including salts thereof, of the formula: wherein Rmay be H, OH, O(CH)OH, OCHOCHor Rmay be selected from a range of 5- and 6-membered heterocyclic rings, and wherein Rmay be H or OH. The compounds give rise to a wide range of flavors, and some are useful as sweetness enhancers, this allowing sweetener content to be reduced while maintaining sweetness. Also disclosed are orally-receivable or ingestible products including the compounds.

Flavor molecules

A method of producing a potent epoxydecenal flavorant. Trans-4,5-epoxy-(E)-2-decenal is enriched to contain at least 90% of the (&minus;) isomer and is added to a product in an amount sufficient to flavor the product. The product may be a foodstuff, such as a food or beverage. Addition of the substantially pure (&minus;)-trans-4,5-epoxy-(E)-2-decenal isomeric form achieves enhanced product taste and/or aroma, and provides increased economy and efficiency in its production.

Epoxydecenal isomers

A method of producing a more intense flavorant. Trans-4,5-epoxy-(E)-2-decenal is enriched to contain at least 90% of the (&minus;) isomer and is added to a product in an amount sufficient to flavor the product. The product may be a foodstuff, such as a food or beverage. Addition of the substantially pure (&minus;) isomeric form of trans-4,5-epoxy-(E)-2-decenal achieves enhanced product taste and/or aroma, and provides increased economy and efficiency in its production.
