Zaffaroni refers to the F flavor imparting or enhancing
agent utilized to form the F group of his (F-Z)n-C compound as
a “‘flavor imparting agent’, ‘enhancer’ or ‘modifier’”
(Zaffaroni, col. 4, l. 7-8; emphasis added). “These . . .
include aliphatic aromatics, heterocyclics, and other
compounds with different chemical structures such as
alkaloids, terpene hydrocarbons, amides, oximes, benzenoids,
fused rings, esters, ethers, acids
. . . ” (Zaffaroni, col. 4, l. 41-45). Zaffaroni also teaches
at column 16, lines 7-29, that the polymer may be made to
react “with a triazinyl substituted with both a halogen that
reacts with the polymer and a nucleophilic substituent that
reacts with a reactive functionality of the flavor imparting
groups” (Zaffaroni, col. 16, l. 7-12) or “the flavor imparting
group can be bonded to the polymer by conventional processes
such as diazotization, by reacting an acyl halide, a carboxyl
or anhydride group of a polymer with an amino, hydroxyl or
sulfhydryl group integral with or bonded to a flavor imparting
group in aqueous buffer media, inert organic or mixed solvents
. . .” (Zaffaroni at column 16, lines 13-19).
