This invention relates to
flavor compositions comprising γ-nonanolactone, γ-undecanolactone, γ-
caprolactone, and γ-decanolactone, wherein, based on 100 parts by weight of γ-nonanolactone, the amount of γ-undecanolactone is about 50 to about 1200 parts by weight, the amount of γ-
caprolactone is about 100 to about 700 parts by weight, and the amount of γ-decanolactone is about 100 to about 3000 parts by weight. The invention also relates to aqueous food compositions comprising the
flavor compositions, methods for preparing the aqueous food compositions, uses of the
flavor compositions or aqueous food compositions, and beverages, gel-type
snack foods, nutritional formula foods, nutritional supplements, pharmaceuticals, or medical products comprising the flavor compositions or aqueous food compositions.
