The present invention in a first aspect relates to flavour modulation in foodstuffs, beverages, orally administered pharmaceuticals, tobacco products and oral care products, using a flavour modulating substance selected from the group of substances represented by formula (I), edible salts thereof and edible esters thereof: formula (I) wherein R1 and/or R2 represent the residue of primary amines, more particularly the residues of primary amines selected from amino acids, peptides, purines and pyrimidines, aralkylamines and certain branched or straight chain, hydrophilically substituted alkylamines. It has been found that these substances are capable imparting highly desirable taste attributes in the products they are incorporated in. In addition said flavour modulating substances are capable of modulating and complementing, the sensory impact of other, taste imparting, substances. Thus, the present substances are advantageously applied in flavour compositions, foodstuffs, orally administered pharmaceuticals, tobacco products and oral care products. |
