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.

1 - 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.
