Described are processes and compositions for augmenting or enhancing the flavor and/or aroma of consumable materials including foodstuffs, chewing gums, medicinal products, toothpastes, perfumes, colognes and perfumed articles using as the essential ingredient at least one norbornyl ether having the structure: ##STR1## wherein R is one of acetyl, propionyl, allyl or isopropyl.
Described is a process for augmenting or enhancing the aroma or taste of foodstuffs or chewing gums comprising the step of adding to a foodstuff or chewing gum at least one norbornyl ether defined according to the structure: ##STR1## wherein the "OR" moiety is at the "5" or "6" position of the norbornyl moiety and wherein R is one of acetyl, propionyl or allyl.
Confections containing a volatile oil and designed for dissolving in the oral cavity containing novel volatile oil masking agents are disclosed. The volatile oil masking agents significantly suppress the perception of unpleasant organoleptic sensations such as bitterness or medicinal off-taste initiated by the volatile oil being released in the oral cavity. Masking agents such as fenchone and d-borneol are present in the confection in sensorially undetectable amounts to provide masking of unpleasant characteristics of volatile oils without detracting from the desired organoleptic sensations of taste and the preception of vapor action in the oral cavity.
