Ammonium glycyrrhizinate [53956-04-0] (AG), C42H N02g, is a flavor enhancer derived from Hcorice root. It is approximately 50 times sweeter than sucrose and is often used to enhance sweetness in a wide variety of food products (56). Maltol [118-71 -8] C H O, and ethyl maltol [4940-11-8], CyHgO, are used as flavor enhancers in products such as cake mixes, confections, cookies, ice cream, fmit juices, puddings, and beverages (57). 

Lupine seed, though used primarily in animal feeds (see Feeds AND FEED ADDITIVES), does have potential for use in human appHcations as a replacement for soy flour, and is reported to contain both trypsin inhibitors and hemagglutenins (17). The former are heat labile at 90°C for 8 minutes the latter seem much more stable to normal cooking temperatures. Various tropical root crops, including yam, cassava, and taro, are also known to contain both trypsin and chymotrypsin inhibitors, and certain varieties of sweet potatoes may also be impHcated (18).

Sandalwood Oil, East Indian. The use of sandalwood oil for its perfumery value is ancient, probably extending back some 4000 years. Oil from the powdered wood and roots of the tree Santalum album L. is produced primarily in India, under government control. Good quaUty oil is a pale yellow to yellow viscous Hquid characterized by an extremely soft, sweet—woody, almost ariimal—balsarnic odor. The extreme tenacity of the aroma makes it an ideal blender—fixative for woody-Oriental—floral fragrance bases. It also finds extensive use for the codistillation of other essential oils, such as rose, especially in India. There the so-called attars are made with sandalwood oil distilled over the flowers or by distillation of these flowers into sandalwood oil. The principal constituents of sandalwood oil are shown in Table 11 (37) and Figure 2. 

The discovery of junipal focused the attention of Sorensen, who had been investigating the occurrence of polyacetylenes in Com-positae, on the possibility that these acetylenes were accompanied by thiophenes. From Coreopsis grandiflora Hogg ex sweet, 2-phenyl 5-(1-propynyl) thiophene (240) was isolated and its structure confirmed by synthesis of the tetrahydro compound, 2-phenyl-5-n-propyl-thiophene. From the root of tansy, the cis and trans isomers of methyl 5-(l-propynyl)-2-thienylacrylate (241) have been isolated. The total synthesis of trans (241) was achieved by reacting junipal with methylcarbethoxy triphenylphosphonium bromide (Wittig reaction) Several monosubstituted thiophenes, (242), (243), and...
