Described is the use of 2(2'-methylthiopropyl)-4,5-dimethyl-.DELTA..sup.3 -thiazoline to augment or enhance the aroma or taste of mashed potato flavor or mashed potato flavored foodstuffs.

Use of 2(2'-methylthiopropyl)-4,5-dimethyl-.DELTA..sup.3 -thiazoline to

The nutty, bready, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, meat extract or vegetable flavor or aroma of foodstuffs is augmented or enhanced by the use of one or more 2-alkylthioalkyl-4,5-dialkyl-.DELTA..sup.3 -thiazolines having the formula: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are the same or different and are either hydrogen or methyl. These compounds augment or enhance the sweet, meaty, meat extract-like, beef broth-like, hydrolyzed vegetable protein-like, bread crust-like, potato-like, sulfury, roasted, roasted meat, vegetable and tomato aroma nuances, and the bread crust-like, sweet, meat extract-like, beef broth-like, hydrolyzed vegetable protein-like, salty, bloody, metallic, sweet/meaty, potato, vegetable, and cooked tomato flavor nuances of foodstuff flavors.

Flavoring with certain 2-alkyl-4,5-dialkyl-.DELTA..sup.3 -thiazolines

2-Alkylthioalkyl-4,5-dialkyl-.DELTA..sup.3 -thiazolines

Processes and compositions are described for use in foodstuff flavors and as foodstuff article aroma and taste augmenting and enhancing materials of at least one 2-substituted-4,5-dimethyl.DELTA..sup.3 -thiazolines having the structure: ##STR1## wherein one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 is methyl and each of the other of R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 is hydrogen. The compounds of our invention are useful in augmenting or enhancing the flavor and aroma nuances of vegetable, spice, nutty, chocolate and black pepper flavors.

Flavoring with 2-substituted-4,5-dimethyl-.DELTA..sup.3 -thiazolines

Processes and compositions are described for use in foodstuff flavors and as foodstuff article aroma and taste augmenting and enhancing materials of at least one alpha-substituted alkylidene methionals having the structure: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is one of the moieties: ##STR2## and the other is hydrogen or methyl. Addition of one or more alpha-substituted alkylidene methionals to foodstuff flavorings or to foodstuffs is indicated to produce the following aroma and flavor characteristics, in the alternative taken together:

Uses of .alpha.-substituted alkylidene methionals in foodstuffs and

Described are mixtures of cis and trans isomers of 2-[(methylthio)methyl]-3-phenyl-2-propenal having the structures: ##STR1## The ratio of cis to trans isomer being from 7:3 up to 9.5:0.5 wherein augmenting and enhancing the flavors and aroma of meat extract, meat, hydrolyzed vegetable protein, nut and chocolate flavored foodstuff by augmenting or enhancing the sweet, meat extract like, hydrolyzed vegetable protein like and beef broth like aroma and sweet, meat extract like, hydrolyzed vegetable protein like, beef broth like, and monosodium glutamate like flavor characteristics with mouthfeel effects.

Alpha-substituted alkylidene methionals and uses thereof in foodstuffs

Processes and compositions are described for use in foodstuff flavors and as foodstuff article aroma and taste augmenting and enhancing materials of at least one alpha-substituted alkylidene methionals having the structure: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is one of the moieties: ##STR2## AND THE OTHER IS HYDROGEN OR METHYL. Addition of one or more alpha-substituted alkylidene methionals to foodstuff flavorings or to foodstuffs is indicated to produce the following aroma and flavor characteristics, in the alternative taken together:

Processes and compositions are described for use in foodstuff flavors and as foodstuff article aroma and taste augmenting and enhancing materials of at least one alpha-substituted alkylidene methionals having the structure: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 or R.sub.2 is one of the moieties: ##STR2## AND THE OTHER IS HYDROGEN OR METHYL. Addition of one or more alpha-substituted alkylidene methionals to foodstuff flavorings or to foostuffs is indicated to produce the following aroma and flavor characteristics, in the alternative taken together:
