Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
116 words
In a process for preparing a flavoring composition containing carriers, diluents, essential oils and other auxiliary materials, the step of adding thereto an amount of at said composition, said ketone compound having the structural formula ##STR1## wherein groups R 1 to R 5 are the same or different and are hydrogen or methyl, and the dotted lines are possible sites for double bonds provided that the side chain carrying said groups R 4 and R 5 contains not more than one double bond, and R 6 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl if the bond between R 6 and the nucleus of said compound is monovalent, or methylene or ethylidene if said bond is a double bond.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
116 words
In a process for preparing a flavoring composition containing carriers, diluents, essential oils and other auxiliary materials, the step of adding thereto an amount of at said composition, said ketone compound having the structural formula ##STR1## wherein groups R 1 to R 5 are the same or different and are hydrogen or methyl, and the dotted lines are possible sites for double bonds provided that the side chain carrying said groups R 4 and R 5 contains not more than one double bond, and R 6 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl if the bond between R 6 and the nucleus of said compound is monovalent, or methylene or ethylidene if said bond is a double bond.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
45 words
A process according to claim 1 wherein the compound added to said flavor composition is a cycloaliphatic saturated or unsaturated ketone wherein R 1 is hydrogen and only one of the groups R 2 -R 5 is methyl, the remainder of said groups being hydrogen.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
A process according to claim 2 wherein groups R 2 -R 5 of said compound are all hydrogen.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
119 words

Claim 6
Dependent Claim
119 words
A flavoring composition containing carriers, diluents, essential oils and other auxiliary materials further comprising an amount of at least one ketone compound effective for imparting a fruit-like flavor note to said composition, said ketone compound having the structural formula ##STR2## wherein groups R 1 -R 5 are the same or different and are hydrogen or methyl, and the dotted lines are possible sites for double bonds provided that the side chain carrying said groups R 4 and R 5 contains not more than one double bond, and R 6 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl if the bond between R 6 and the nucleus of said compound is monovalent, or methylene or ethylidene if said bond is a double bond.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
42 words
A composition according to claim 4 wherein the ketone compound is a cycloaliphatic saturated or unsaturated ketone and wherein R 1 is hydrogen and only one of the groups R 2 -R 5 is methyl, the remainder of said groups being hydrogen.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
18 words
A composition according to claim 5 wherein groups R 2 -R 5 of said compound are all hydrogen.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
118 words
A flavored product selected from the group consisting of foodstuffs and beverages containing an amount of at least one ketone compound effective for imparting a fruit-like flavor note to said product, said compound having the structural formula ##STR3## wherein groups R 1 to R 5 are the same or different and are hydrogen or methyl, and the dotted lines are possible sites for double bonds provided that the side chain carrying said groups R 4 and R 5 contains not more than one double bond, and R 6 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl if the bond between R 6 and the nucleus of said compound is monovalent, or methylene or ethylidene if said bond is a double bond.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
118 words
A flavored product selected from the group consisting of foodstuffs and beverages containing an amount of at least one ketone compound effective for imparting a fruit-like flavor note to said product, said compound having the structural formula ##STR3## wherein groups R 1 to R 5 are the same or different and are hydrogen or methyl, and the dotted lines are possible sites for double bonds provided that the side chain carrying said groups R 4 and R 5 contains not more than one double bond, and R 6 is hydrogen, methyl or ethyl if the bond between R 6 and the nucleus of said compound is monovalent, or methylene or ethylidene if said bond is a double bond.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
