More Information
Summary:This invention provides smoking compositions which contain a novel .beta.-hydroxycarboxylate flavorant release additive of the formula (See Formula I) where R1 is a C4-C7 alkyl substituent, R2 is a C1-C4 alkyl substituent, and R3 is hydrogen or an alkali metal or alkaline earth metal atom. Under cigarette smoking conditions, a combustible filler and/or paper wrapper additive such as calcium bis (2,2-diethyl-3-hydroxy-4-phenylmethylenedecanoate) pyrolyzes and releases .alpha.-hexyl-cinnamaldehyde as a volatile flavorant component of the cigarette smoke.
