The present invention in a first aspect relates to flavour modulation in foodstuffs, beverages, tobacco products and oral care products, using a flavour modulating substance selected from the group represented by formula (I), edible salts thereof and edible esters thereof. It has been found that these substances are capable imparting highly desirable taste attributes in the products they are incorporated in. In addition said flavour modulating substances are capable of modulating and complementing, the sensory impact of other, taste imparting, substances. Thus, the present substances are advantageously applied in flavour compositions, foodstuffs, tobacco products and oral care products. Typical examples of flavour modulating substances according to the present invention include N-vanillyl urea, N-vanillyl thiourea, N-vanillyl guanidine, N-isovanillyl urea, N-(3-ethoxy-4-hydroxybenzyl) urea, N-(3,4 dimethoxybenzyl) urea, N,N′-divanillyl urea, N,N′-divanillyl thiourea, N-octyl-N′-vanillyl urea, N-octyl-N′-vanillyl thiourea, N-hexyl-N′-vanillyl urea, N-hexyl-N′-vanillyl thiourea, N-decyl-N′-vanillyl urea, N-decyl-N′-vanillyl thiourea, N-benzyl-N′-vanillyl urea, N-benzyl-N′-vanillyl thiourea, edible salts thereof and edible esters thereof.
本发明在第一方面涉及使用从式(I)所代表的化合物组中选择的调味调节物质、其可食用盐和可食用酯,对食品、饮料、烟草制品和口腔护理产品中的味道进行调节。已经发现这些物质能够在它们被加入的产品中赋予高度可取的口感特性。此外,所述调味调节物质能够调节和补充其他具有口感影响的物质的感官影响。因此,本发明的物质优点地应用于调味组合物、食品、烟草制品和口腔护理产品中。根据本发明的典型的调味调节物质包括N-香草基尿素,N-香草基硫脲,N-香草基胍,N-异香草基尿素,N-(3-乙氧基-4-羟基苯基)尿素,N-(3,4-二甲氧基苯基)尿素,N,N'-二香草基尿素,N,N'-二香草基硫脲,N-辛基-N'-香草基尿素,N-辛基-N'-香草基硫脲,N-己基-N'-香草基尿素,N-己基-N'-香草基硫脲,N-癸基-N'-香草基尿素,N-癸基-N'-香草基硫脲,N-苄基-N'-香草基尿素,N-苄基-N'-香草基硫脲,其可食用盐和可食用酯。
