Abstract
A novel confection containing a volatile oil for dissolving in the oral cavity is disclosed. The confection contains a sensorially undetectable amount of a volatile oil modifying agent which enhances the flavor of the volatile oil as well as ameliorates the perception of unpleasant organoleptic sensations such as bitterness initiated by the volatile oil being released in the oral cavity. In a preferred embodiment, the modifying agent is capsicum and most preferably, the oleoresin form of capsicum.
