| 20080306093 | MODULATION OF CHEMOSENSORY RECEPTORS AND LIGANDS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH - The present invention provides screening methods for identifying modifiers of chemosensory receptors and their ligands, e.g., by determining whether a test entity is suitable to interact with one or more interacting sites within the Venus flytrap domains of the chemosensory receptors as well as modifiers capable of modulating chemosensory receptors and their ligands. | 12-11-2008 |
| 20090111834 | NOVEL FLAVORS, FLAVOR MODIFIERS, TASTANTS, TASTE ENHANCERS, UMAMI OR SWEET TASTANTS, AND/OR ENHANCERS AND USE THEREOF - The present invention relates to the discovery that certain non-naturally occurring, non-peptide amide compounds and amide derivatives, such as oxalamides, ureas, and acrylamides, are useful flavor or taste modifiers, such as a flavoring or flavoring agents and flavor or taste enhancer, more particularly, savory (the “umami” taste of monosodium glutamate) or sweet taste modifiers, —savory or sweet flavoring agents and savory or sweet flavor enhancers, for food, beverages, and other comestible or orally administered medicinal products or compositions. | 04-30-2009 |
| 20090220662 | ISOSORBIDE DERIVATIVES AND THEIR USE AS FLAVOR MODIFIERS, TASTANTS, AND TASTE ENHANCERS - The present invention provides isosorbide derivatives having the formula shown below and certain subgenera or species thereof, as flavor or taste modifiers, particularly, savory (“umami”) taste modifiers, savory flavoring agents and savory flavor enhancers in foods, beverages, and other comestible compositions, | 09-03-2009 |
| 20090274632 | Identification of human T2R receptors that respond to bitter compounds that elicit the bitter taste in compositions, and the use thereof in assays to identify compounds that inhibit (block) bitter taste in composition and use thereof - The present invention relates to the discovery that specific human taste receptors in the T2R taste receptor family respond to particular bitter compounds present in, e.g., coffee. Also, the invention relates to the discovery of specific compounds and compositions containing that function as bitter taste blockers and the use thereof as bitter taste blockers or flavor modulators in, e.g., coffee and coffee flavored foods, beverages and medicaments. Also, the present invention relates to the discovery of a compound that antagonizes numerous different human T2Rs and the use thereof in assays and as a bitter taste blocker in compositions for ingestion by humans and animals. | 11-05-2009 |
