Abstract
Naturally-derived compounds having various structures elicit the perception of salty taste, enhance the perception of salty taste of a salt, or act at one or more sodium channels. Food products may include such naturally-derived compounds, which may be used to reduce the sodium content, while imparting a similar level of saltiness.
Claims
exact text as granted — not AI-modified1 - 78 . (canceled)
79 . A food product comprising:
a first ingredient; a salt that imparts a salty taste; and a compound having the following structure:
where:
R 1 is H or C 1 -C 10 alkyl;
R 2 is H or C 1 -C 3 alkyl;
X is CHOR 3 or C═O;
R 3 is H, C 1 -C 3 alkyl, or
R 4 is H or C 1 -C 3 alkyl;
Y is CR 5 ═CH or CHR 5 —CH 2 ;
R 5 is H, OH, —OCH 3 , —OCH 2 CH 3 , —O—OCH 2 CH 2 CH 3 , or
and
R 6 is H or C 1 -C 3 alkyl,
wherein the compound of formula A is present in the food product in an amount sufficient to enhance a perception of saltiness of the food product, and
wherein the compound of formula A is isolated or purified before being included in the food product.
80 . The food product of claim 79 , wherein R 1 is C 2 -C 8 alkyl.
81 . The food product of claim 79 , wherein R 2 is H.
82 . The food product of claim 79 , wherein X is C═O or
where R4 is CH 3 .
83 . The food product of claim 79 , wherein Y is CR 5 ═CH and R 5 is H.
84 . The food product of claim 79 , wherein Y is CHR 5 —CH 2 and R 5 is OH or —OCH 3 .
85 . The food product of claim 79 , wherein R 6 is CH 3 .
86 . The food product of claim 79 , wherein the compound of formula A is one of the following compounds:
87 . The food product of claim 79 , wherein the compound of formula A is compound 1.
88 . The food product of claim 79 , wherein the compound of formula A is compound 2.
89 . The food product of claim 79 , wherein the compound of formula A is compound 3.
90 . The food product of claim 79 , wherein the compound of formula A is compound 4.
91 . The food product of claim 79 , wherein the compound of formula A is compound 5.
92 . The food product of claim 79 , wherein the compound of formula A is compound 6.
93 . The food product of claim 79 , wherein the compound of formula A is compound 7.
94 . The food product of claim 79 , wherein the compound of formula A is compound 8.
95 . The food product of claim 79 , wherein the compound of formula A is compound 9.
96 . The food product of claim 79 , wherein the compound of formula A is present in the food product from 0.01 to 2 percent by weight.Join the waitlist — get patent alerts
