Improved aromachemical derivatives, and fragrances and flavorings including the derivatives, that have a longer useful 
shelf life than the aromachemicals from which they can be derived, are disclosed. In particular, the derivatives maintain the fragrance characteristics of the aromachemicals, while lowering the allergic properties, increasing the stability, and / or increasing the 
odor intensity. Also disclosed are methods of making the derivatives, and articles of manufacture including the derivatives. In one embodiment, the derivatives are prepared by replacing one or more double bonds in 
citral with a 
thioether, cyclopropyl, oxirane, or 
thiirane group. The 
cyclopropane ring can be unsubstituted, or substituted with one or two lower 
alkyl, preferably methyl groups. The 
alkyl groups can optionally be substituted, for example, with 
electron donating groups, 
electron with drawing groups, groups which increase the hydrophilicity or hydrophobocity, and the like. In another embodiment, the derivatives are prepared by replacing the 
aldehyde group in the 
essential oil with a 
nitrile, methyl 
ether or 
acetal group. The 
acetal groups can provide the compounds with a 
long lasting flavor or fragrance, where the acetals slowly hydrolyze to provide the 
aldehyde group in the parent 
essential oil. In some embodiments, both the 
aldehyde and at least one of the 
double bond functional groups are both derivatized as described herein. Examples of suitable articles of manufacture include candles, air fresheners, perfumes, 
disinfectant compositions, 
hypochlorite (
bleach) compositions, beverages such as beer and soda, denture 
cleanser tablets and flavored orally-delivered products such as lozenges, candies, and the like.
