The inventions disclosed herein relate to genuses of non-naturally occurring small molecule compounds which comprise two or optionally three organic moieties of limited size “linked” by certain structurally related “linker” functional groups. Suitable linker groups include ester, amine, ether, keto, imino, thioamide, thioether, sulfonamide, sulfonate ester, sulfone, guanidine, and thiourea groups. The compounds are capable, when contacted with comestible food or drinks or pharmaceutical compositions, at concentrations preferably on the order of about 100 ppm or lower, of serving as savory (“umami”) or sweet taste modifiers, savory or sweet flavoring agents and savory or sweet flavor enhancers, for use in foods, beverages, and other comestible or orally administered medicinal products or compositions, optionally in the presence of or in mixtures with conventional flavoring agents such as monosodium glutamate or known natural or artificial sweeteners.
本发明涉及一类非自然产生的小分子化合物属,其包括两个或可选的三个有限大小的有机基团,由某些结构相关的“连接”功能基团“连接”而成。适当的连接基团包括酯、胺、醚、酮、亚胺、硫酰胺、硫醚、磺酰胺、磺酸酯、砜、鸟氨酸和硫脲基团。当与可食用食品或饮料或药物组成物接触时,这些化合物能够在浓度优选在约100 ppm或更低的情况下,作为鲜味("鲜味")或甜味调味剂,鲜味或甜味调味剂和鲜味或甜味增强剂,用于食品、饮料和其他可食用或口服药物产品或组成物,可选地与常规调味剂如谷氨酸钠或已知的天然或人造甜味剂混合使用。
