Page 2-3, (2008/06/13)
A 3-methylthiopropanal is produced by a method comprising the step of supplying an acrolein and a methyl mercaptan together or sequentially with an acidic compound and a basic compound into a reaction system to react the acrolein with the methyl mercaptan, wherein the basic compound is used in an amount of about 0.3 mol or less per mol of the acidic compound. In accordance with the present invention, a 3-methylthiopropanal with high quality is produced while suppressing the production of by-products having high boiling points.

Processes and compositions are described for use in foodstuff flavors and as foodstuff article aroma and taste augmenting and enhancing materials of at least one alpha-substituted alkylidene methionals having the structure: STR1 wherein R1 or R2 is one of the moieties: STR2 AND THE OTHER IS HYDROGEN OR METHYL. Addition of one or more alpha-substituted alkylidene methionals to foodstuff flavorings or to foostuffs is indicated to produce the following aroma and flavor characteristics, in the alternative taken together: Aroma Potato; Methional-like; Green; Hydrolyzed vegetable protein-like; Chicken-like; Cabbage; Green potato; Green weedy; Broccoli-like; and Green bean-like. Flavor Potato; Metallic; Sulfury-green; Cabbage-like; Chicken; Mushroom-like; Green-weedy; Broccoli-like; and Green bean-like. The compounds of our invention are useful in augmenting or enhancing the flavor and aroma nuances of vegetable (including potato and cabbage) and chicken flavors.
