The invention relates primarily to flavor compositions of (i) certain salivary, tingly, hot and / or warm-tasting alkamides (such as pellitorins, spilanthol) with (ii) hesperetin (5,7-dihydroxy-3- (3-hydroxy-4-) methoxyphenyl) chroman-4-one) or its enantiomers and / or salts and / or (iii) 4-hydroxydihydrochalcones (3- (4-hydroxyphenyl) -1-phenylpropan-1-ones) and / or their salts, their Use to enhance the sweet taste of sweet-tasting substances or the sweet odor impression of aromas which cause a sweet odor impression, but in particular the enhancement of the sweet initial taste or odor (initial sweetness). The invention thus relates to the use of said aroma compositions as a general sweet enhancer and initial sweetener enhancer. The invention further relates to certain preparations which have an effective content of the said aroma compositions of (i) alkamides (in particular pellitorines, spilanthol) with (ii) hesperetin or its enantiomers and / or salts and / or (iii) 4-hydroxydihydrochalcones and or salts thereof and methods for enhancing the sweetness or the initial sweetness of a sweet-tasting substance or the sweet odor impression or the initial sweetness of a flavoring agent that causes a sweet odor impression. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of certain alkamides (i) to enhance the initial sweetness of a preparation comprising (ii) hesperetin or its enantiomers and / or salts and / or (iii) 4-hydroxydihydrochalcones and / or salts thereof and (b) sweet tasting substances and / or (c) flavorings that cause a sweet odor impression. |
