Definitions

• oral care compositions possessing an enhanced mint flavour character possessing an enhanced mint flavour character.
• a method of enhancing the mint flavour character of an oral care composition and the use of certain compounds to enhance the mint flavour character in oral care compositions.
• Mint flavours of natural, nature-identical and synthetic origin are popular flavours in oral care products, such as toothpaste, mouthwash and chewing gum, e g to cover the taste of base ingredients and to impart a signal to a consumer that the product may deliver freshness and cleanliness upon use.
• Mint flavours are traditionally provided by adding mint oil to the oral care composition. Since these oils are of natural origin, the amounts available and thus the price may vary from year to year. In addition, to achieve remarkable mint flavour characteristics in an end- product, higher amounts of these natural oils are required, which increases the price.
• compositions of a compound selected from 4-vinylcyclohex-1-enecarbaldehyde and 1- vinylcyclohex-3-enecarbaldehyde, or a mixture thereof the mint flavour perception may be enhanced, thus less mint flavour is required to achieve an essentially similar flavour character.
• an oral care composition comprising
• R is carbonyl attached at C-1 or C-4;
• mint flavour for example, mint oil, menthol, /-carvone, /-limonene or menthone.
• mint flavour “mint-flavoured” as used herein refer to substances possessing the characteristic flavour that is a property of extracts of certain plants, notably those of the Mentha family. Examples include peppermint (Mentha piperita), spearmint (Mentha spicata), Mentha arvensis, and Mentha cardiaca, and their hybrids and fractions.
• flavour can also be obtained or imparted by the addition of at least one of a number of compounds, non-limiting examples including /-can/one, I- limonene, menthol and menthone, the last two-named of which constitute major constituents of mint oil.
• the mint flavour is a mixture of two or more of natural mint oil, menthol, menthone /-carvone and /-limonene.
• the menthol may be either of natural origin or synthetic,
• the mint flavour is derived from compounds that do not occur naturally, but which provide the characteristic flavour.
• These include FrescomentheTM, ethyl vanillin and ethyl maltol
• Suitable natural peppermint oils include, for example, Peppermint American Far West, Peppermint American Mid West, Peppermint American Willamette, Peppermint American Yakima, Peppermint Indian piperita, and the like.
• Suitable spearmint oils include, for example, Spearmint American Far West Native, Spearmint American Mid West Native, Spearmint Chinese Native, Spearmint Indian Native, and the like.
• Suitable Mentha an/ensis oils include, for example, Peppermint Chinese Arvensis, Peppermint Indian Arvensis, Peppermint Chinese Terpenless, Peppermint Indian rectified, and the like.
• Suitable Mentha cardiaca oils include, for example, Spearmint American Far West Scotch, Spearmint American Mid West Scotch, and the like.
• synthetic mint oils such as Spearmint supra and Peppermint supra, may also be used.
• an oral care composition comprising a mint flavour and 4-vinylcyciohex-1-ene carbaldehyde.
• an oral care composition comprising a mint flavour and a mixture of 4-vi ny lcyclohex- 1 -ene carbaldehyde and 1 -vinylcyclohex-3-ene carbaldehyde in the ratio of 1 :99 to 100:0 (including, e.g., 1:9, 1 :4, 1 :2, 3:7, 2:3, 5:5, 3:2, 7:3, 4: 1 and 9:1).
• an oral care composition comprising a mint flavour and a mixture 4-vinylcyclohex-1-ene carbaldehyde and 1-vinylcyclohex-3-ene carbaldehyde, said mixture comprising 0.1 to 99.9 weight % of 4-vinylcyclohex- 1 -ene carbaldehyde (such as 1%, 10%, 20% or 50%).
• ppm about 0,05 to 10 ppm, such as about 0.1 - 5 ppm, including 1.5 ppm, 2 ppm, 3 ppm, of a compound of formula (I), or a mixture thereof.
• oral care composition refers to non-food compositions that are designed to be taken into the mouth to deliver a variety of benefits. Such compositions include dentifrices, mouthwashes, mouth sprays and gargle compositions, breath strips (edible films placed in the oral cavity to administer thereto an active agent such as a ftavourant or breath-freshening agent), and chewing gums.
• dentifrice as used herein, means toothpaste, oral care gels or liquids, unless otherwise specified.
• the dentifrice composition may be a single-phase composition or it may be a combination of two or more separate dentifrice compositions.
• the dentifrice composition may be in any desired form, such as deep-striped, surface-striped, multilayered, having the gel surrounding the paste, or any combination thereof.
• a method of providing an enhanced mint flavour to a mint-flavoured composition adapted to be received orally comprising adding to said composition a compound selected from 1-vinyicyclohex-3-ene carbaldehyde and 4- vinylcyclohex-1-ene carbaldehyde, or a mixture thereof.
• Example 1 1 -Vinylcyclohex-3-ene carbaldehyde and 4-vinylcyclohex-1-ene carbaldehyde
• the 500 ml_ flask was charged with crotonaldehyde (210.3 g, 3 mol), formaldehyde (270.0 g, 3.24 mol, 36% aqueous solution) and DMF (50 g, 0.68 mol).
• a cooled mixture of pyrrolidine (5.33 g, 0.075 mol) and propionic acid (5.56 g, 0.075 mol) was added with stirring during 5 minutes. This combined mixture was then slowly pumped with stirring into a heated (100 °C) autoclave that had been charged with a solution of 1 ,3-butadiene (570.4 g, 5 mol) in DMF (250 g, 3.42 mol).
• the mixture was transferred to a 2.0 L separation funnel and diluted with hexane (620 g) and water (300 g) (Careful: excessive butadiene evaporates during this operation: use well ventilated hood).
• the upper layer was separated and washed successively with aq. acetic acid (50 ml) and water (50 ml) and then with sat. aq. sodium bicarbonate solution.
• the organic phase was dried with MgS0 , filtered and concentrated under reduced pressure to furnish the crude product as a yellow oil (254g) which was then distilled in vacuo over a 10 cm-Vigreux column (b.p.
• Example 1 To a toothpaste base comprising 0,2 weight % saccharin, 10% of a flavour composition was added according to Table 1 below. For half of the samples the compound of Example 1 ( 1 -vinylcycl ohex-3-ene carbaldehyde and 4-vinylcyclohex-1 -ene carbaidehyde (in a ratio of about 2: 1 ; 1% in PG) was added.
• composition B in comparison to A was assessed to possessing a better freshness and composition C in comparison to A was assessed to give a more leafy natural American piperita character.
• composition E and F in comparison to D were assessed to give a more leafy natural American piperita character.
• a toothpaste base comprising 0.2 weight % saccharin and 1.0 weight % of a flavour composition (Example 4; composition 4-1 , 4-2 and 4-3 respectively) was prepared and assessed by panelists. No noticeable difference was observed between composition 4-1 and 4-2, and only a slight difference between composition 4-1 and 4-3 was observed. Composition 4-3 was described being slightly less impact and lacking the fullness of piperita leafy character.
