Abstract:
The present invention relates primarily to the use of certain hydroxybenzoic acid amides or the salts or mixtures thereof for masking an unpleasant taste impression, preferably of a bitter, adstringent, dusty, dry, floury, rancid, metallic and/or cardboard taste or aftertaste, of one or more unpleasant-tasting peptides or of certain amino acid mixtures. The invention further relates to a corresponding method for masking unpleasant taste impressions and to novel preparations.

Claim (Index 6):
A composition selected from the group consisting of\n (A) oral pharmaceutical or cosmetic preparations (finished product) serving for nutrition or oral care and for the application in the head area, and (B) semi-finished products, comprising (i) one, two or more different hydroxybenzoic acid amides of formula (I), or one, two or more different salts of one, two or more different hydroxybenzoic acid amides of formula (I), or a mixture of one, two or more different hydroxybenzoic acid amides of formula (I), with one, two or more different salts of one, two or more different hydroxybenzoic acid amides of formula (I), wherein\n R 1  and R 2  denote, independent of each other, hydrogen, hydroxyl, or methoxy, with the provision that at least one of the groups R 1  or R 2  denote hydroxyl and either\n R 3  denotes hydrogen or hydroxyl and R 4  denotes hydrogen \n \n or\n R 3  and R 4  together denote a group \u2014O\u2014C(\u2550O)\u2014 and thus form a ring in form of a cyclic carbamate, \n \n and\n R 5  denotes hydrogen or methyl \n \n in an amount of \n (A) 0.0001 to 0.5 wt.-%, related to the total weight of the composition (finished product), or, respectively, \n (B) 0.0001 to 95 wt.-%, related to the total weight of the semi-finished product, \n and \n (ii) one or more unpleasant tasting substances selected from mixtures of amino acids comprising, each related to the weight, 40 to 50 parts L-leucine, 20 to 30 parts L-isoleucine and 20 to 40 parts L-valine or 10 to 30 parts L-isoleucine, 25 to 45 parts L-leucine, 5 to 15 parts L-phenylalanine and 5 to 15 parts L-tryptophan, and peptides with the sequences GKHQQEEENEGG, NFNNQLDQTPR, AGNPDIEHPE, NALEPDHRVE, GNPDIEHP, IYPGCPST, KLHENIAR, LAGNQEQE, ALEPDHR, EQGGEQG, EQPQQNE, IGTLAGA, NAMFVPH, GMIYPG, HNIGQT, IYPGCP, NALKPD, FIQGV, NALPE, NNEDT, SAEFG, SIIDT, YEGNS, LLLL, NLQG, SDNF, EGG, GAL, GGL, KPF, LLL, PPG, AD, EG, EY, GE, GF, GI, IA, IP, IS, KP, LK, PR, PY, RG, RP, RR, VF, VI, VV, VY, VEELKPTPEGDLEIL, LKP, LVL, DL, ID, LD, LE, LV, WE, QLFGPNVNPWHNP, QLFNPSTNPWHSP, GGRGPPFIVGG, QLFNPSTNPWH, GGRGPPFIV, QLFNPSTNP, RGPPFIVGG, RGPPGGGFF, GGRPFFGG, QLFNPS, GFG, GLL, GVV, LQL, RPG, EF, FG, FV, GL, GR, GV, IE, II, IL, IQ, LF, LI, RF, VA, WF, YF, YG, AQTQSLVYPFPGPIPNSLPQNIPPLTQ, YQQPVLGPVRGPFPIIV, PVLGPVRGPFPIIV, SLVYPFPGPIHNS, VPLGTQYTDAPSF, FFVAPFPEVFGK, FFVAPFPQVFGK, LVYPFPGPIHN, PVRGPFPIIV, VYPFPGPIPN, VYPFPPIGNH, YLGYLEQLLR, YPFPGPIHNS, YPFPGPIPNS, PFPGPIPNS, YPFPGPHIN, YPFPGPIPN, FALPQYLK, GPVRGPFP, LGYLEQLL, RGPFPIIV, RGPGPIIV, APFPEVF, AYFYPEL, FYPELFR, PFPGPIP, RGPFPIV, YPFPGPI, PVLGPV, VRGPFP, FYPELF, GPFPIV, PFPGPI, PFPIIV, DIKQM, EIVPN, NENLL, PGPIP, EVLN, LPQE, VYPF, APK, EEN, FLL, FPK, FPP, LRF, LRL, PFP, PGP, PPF, RGP, VVV, VYP, YPF, AF, AL, AV, DA, EI, EL, FF, FI, FL, FP, FY, GP, GY, IF, IG, IK, IN, IT, IV, KF, LG, LW, LY, MI, PF, PI, PK, PL, PP, RL, SL, VD, VE, VL, YP, YY, GPFPVI, FALPEYLK, VG, RGPPFIV, GRP, FFF, WW, WWW, YPFP, FPF, IPAVF, LLF or YGLF, in an amount of\n (A) 0.001 to 10 wt.-%, related to the total weight of the composition (finished product), or, respectively, \n (B) 0.001 to 95 wt.-%, related to the total weight of the semi-finished product.
