Flavour compositions comprising menthol, a mint oil and other flavour materials

摘要

A flavour composition comprises: (a) at least 10% by weight of the total weight of the flavour composition of menthol; (b) at least 10 % by weight of the total weight of the flavour composition of a mint oil selected from peppermint oil, spearmint oil, and mixtures thereof; the menthol and one or more mint oils together comprising at least 40% by weight of the total weight of the composition; and(c) at least 3 % by weight of the total weight of the flavour composition of at least two flavour materials having an octanol-water partition coefficient of at least 4.0 (in logarithmic form); wherein the flavour composition has a weighted average octanol-water partition coefficient of at least 3.3 (in logarithmic form). The composition shows enhanced substantivity and thus longevity in the oral cavity and finds use in consumer products, particularly oral care products.
