FROM: Mr. C. J. Rosene
DATE: June 18, 1984
SUBJECT: COD~L~RIN SUBSTITUTES/490
There are no compounds or formulated flavors available..to us that can
accurately replace coumarin as a flavor on tobacco. Cou~arin itself
and natural substances containing coun~rin are prohibited from direct
addition to food as cited under 21CFR 189.130.
Two homologs, 6-~ethylcomnarin and dihydrocoumarin, exhibit
coun~riu-like qualities on tobacco but neither can be used as a direct
replacement. Both compounds are FEMA-CRAS but are not listed as
approved direct food additives by FDA.
We currently use an IFF-formulated coumarin substitute on .BARCLAY. It
does not match coumarin very well either.
Attached is a list of domestic brands containing vanillin, mace oil,
and glycerin~ added either as pure compounds or as part of proprietary
flavors.
