摘要

Described is the use of compounds defined according to the generic structure: ##STR1## wherein the dashed line represents a carbon- carbon single bond or a carbon-carbon double bond; wherein X represents the moieties: ##STR2## wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 represent hydrogen or methyl with the proviso that (i) at least three of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 and R.sub.4 represent hydrogen and (ii) when the dashed line is a carbon-carbon single bond and X is: ##STR3## then one of R.sub.1, R.sub.2, R.sub.3 or R.sub.4 is methyl and the other represents hydrogen; wherein R.sub.5 represents hydrogen, and uses thereof for their organoleptic properties in augmenting or enhancing the aroma or taste of peppermint oil based oral hygiene flavors.
