Zingerone
Flavor: Strong pungent In Perfumery it finds use as a sweetener of warm, slightly spicy-tobacco like effect which can be modified into 'leather' notes 'tobacco' notes or even heavy floral 'Jasmin' notes. It has often very attractive influence upon castoreum and labdanum and it blends very well with Ylang and Gardenia bases.
It is an excellent flavour material, not only for Vanilla imitation where again it gives interesting effect with castoreum, but it is frequently used in many types of fruit flavours, root beer, spice blends, ginger and in tobacco flavourings. The normal concentration in finished products is about 5 to 15 ppm. |
