Senomyx, Inc. SNMX, a leading company focused on using proprietary technologies to discover and develop novel flavor ingredients for the food, beverage, and ingredient supply industries, announced today that the
Company has been granted U.S. Patent No. 7,939,671, which includes composition-of-matter claims for a family of Senomyx's bitter blockers and their use in all forms of foods and beverages, as well as in medicaments and
other products. The patent was issued on May 10, 2011 and will be in force until January 17, 2029.
“The broad scope of our new patent underscores the wide-ranging market opportunity for Senomyx's bitter blockers,” said Kent Snyder, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “These novel flavor ingredients can meet
manufacturers' needs by enabling a significant reduction in bitterness without altering other product properties. Senomyx's bitter blockers could also allow manufacturers to forgo the use of masking agents or sweeteners to counter unwanted bitter tastes, which may provide both cost-of-goods and nutritional benefits.
