Abstract:
The present invention relates to the discovery that certain non-naturally occurring, non-peptide amide compounds and amide derivatives, such as oxalamides, ureas, and acrylamides, are useful flavor or taste modifiers, such as a flavoring or flavoring agents and flavor or taste enhancer, more particularly, savory (the “umami” taste of monosodium glutamate) or sweet taste modifiers,—savory or sweet flavoring agents and savory or sweet flavor enhancers, for food, beverages, and other comestible or orally administered medicinal products or compositions.

Claim (Index 323):
A method for modulating the taste of an ingestible composition comprising: combining the ingestible composition with at least a savory flavor modulating amount of an amide compound, or a comestibly acceptable salt thereof, having the following formula, so as to form a taste modified ingestible composition: wherein: A is phenyl; m is 1 or 2; each R 1\u2032  is independently selected from alkyl, alkoxy, alkoxy-alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, CN, CO 2 H, CO 2 R 6 , CHO, COR 6 , SR 6 , fluoro, chloro, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, heterocycle, aryl, haloalkoxy, and heteroaryl; R 6  is C 1 -C 6  alkyl; i) R 2  is a C 3 -C 10  branched alkyl or cycloalkyl optionally substituted with one to four substituents each independently selected from alkoxy, alkoxy-alkyl, hydroxyalkyl, OH, NH 2 , NHR 6 , N(R 6 ) 2 , CN, CO 2 H, CO 2 R 6 , CHO, COR 6 , SH, SR 6 , halogen, alkenyl, cycloalkyl, cycloalkenyl, aryl, haloalkyl, haloalkoxy, and heteroaryl; and R 6  is C 1 -C 6  alkyl; or ii) R 2  is a 1-(1,2,3,4) tetrahydronapthalene ring or an 2,3-dihydro-1H-indene ring having the following formula: wherein n is 1, 2, or 3, and each R 2\u2032  can be bonded to either the aromatic or non-aromatic ring and is independently selected from hydrogen, fluoro, chloro, NH 2 , NHCH 3 , N(CH 3 ) 2 , CO 2 CH 3 , SCH 3 , SEt, methyl, ethyl, isopropyl, vinyl, trifluoromethyl, methoxy, ethoxy, isopropoxy, and trifluoromethoxy groups; wherein the amide compound has a molecular weight of 500 grams per mole or less.
