A method of providing a range of flavors to an orally-receivable or
ingestible product, the method including adding at least one compound,
including salts thereof, of the formula:
##STR00001##
wherein R.sub.1 may be H, OH, O(CH.sub.2).sub.2OH, OCH.sub.2OCH.sub.3 or
##STR00002##
R.sub.2 may be selected from a range of 5- and 6-membered heterocyclic
rings, and wherein R.sub.3 may be H or OH. The compounds give rise to a
wide range of flavors, and some are useful as sweetness enhancers, this
allowing sweetener content to be reduced while maintaining sweetness.
Also disclosed are orally-receivable or ingestible products including the
compounds.
