The present invention in a first aspect relates to flavor modulation in foodstuffs, beverages, orally administered pharmaceuticals, tobacco products and oral care products, using a flavor modulating substance selected from the group of substances represented by formula, edible salts thereof and edible esters thereof: formula wherein Rand/or Rrepresent the residue of primary amines, more particularly the residues of primary amines selected from amino acids, peptides, purines and pyrimidines, aralkylamines and certain branched or straight chain, hydrophilically substituted alkylamines. It has been found that these substances are capable imparting highly desirable taste attributes in the products they are incorporated in. In addition said flavor modulating substances are advantageously applied in flavor compositions, foodstuffs, orally administered pharmaceuticals, tobacco products and oral care products.

Flavour modulating substances

The invention relates to a method for the preparation of flavors with for instance creamy, green, cucumber like fatty odour characteristics by reacting an oil or fat comprising unsaturated fatty acid triglycerides with a lipoxygenase preparation capable of converting triglycerides into their hydroperoxides in a multiphase system in the presence of air, air enriched with oxygen or oxygen and, subsequently thermally converting the obtained mixture&#x2014;preferably under acidic conditions&#x2014;resulting in an aldehyde containing product. Further the invention encompasses the use of the obtained flavors for incorporation in all kinds of food products like dairy products such as ice-cream, yoghurt and skim milk and savory products as well as the produced flavoured products.
