Abstract
The flavoring compositions and flavored comestibles of this invention include alkyl 2,3-dihydro-3(1'-hydroxyalkylidene)-2-oxo-5-alkylfuran-4-carboxylates in amounts capable of significantly enhancing the flavor of the flavoring compositions or flavored comestibles. For example, butterscotch flavors are materially improved in smoothness and certain fruit flavors are given greater richness and ripeness when the carboxylates of this invention are incorporated therein. Similarly, fruit flavored carbonated soft drinks which include the carboxylates possess enhanced flavors.
