DECISION ON APPEAL
This is a decision on appeal from the final rejection of claims 7-12.
We have jurisdiction under 35 U.S.C. § 6(b). We affirm.
STATEMENT OF CASE
A problem with developing flavoring agents for fruity
and herbaceous materials, such as mango flavor, is that natural
plant materials do not contain a single flavoring agent, but
rather contain a complex mixture of volatile components
making identification of characteristic flavors very difficult.
