The present invention relates to oral care compositions comprising stannous ions, a mint-type flavor oil, a protectant component that prevents generation of off odor and off taste in the composition, and orally acceptable carriers. The mint-type oils include peppermint, spearmint and corn mint. Suitable protectant components include copper salts and carbonyl compounds such as ascorbic acid; cis-jasmone; 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone; 5-ethyl-3-hydroxy-4-methyl-2(5H)-furanone; vanillin; ethyl vanillin; anisaldehyde; 3,4-methylenedioxybenzaldehyde; 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde; 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde; 2-methyoxybenzaldehyde; 4-methoxybenzaldehyde; benzaldehyde; cinnamaldehyde (3-phenyl-2-propenal); hexyl cinnamaldehyde; α-methyl cinnamaldehyde; ortho-methoxy cinnamaldehyde; α-amyl cinnamaldehyde; and combinations thereof. The oral care composition may be a dentifrice.

What is claimed is: 1. An oral care composition comprising:a. stannous ions in an amount of about 1000 ppm or greater than 1000 ppm;b. a flavor system to provide a mint-dominant flavor comprising (i) a mint oil which has been found to contain dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) at levels sufficient to react with stannous ions to form mercaptans and dimethyl sulfide that cause malodor and (ii) a protectant component selected from copper salts, ascorbic acid, cis-jasmone, 2,5-dimethyl-4-hydroxy-3(2H)-furanone, 5-ethyl-3-hydroxy-4-methyl-2(5H)-furanone, anisaldehyde, 3,4-methylenedioxybenzaldehyde, 3,4-dimethoxybenzaldehyde, 4-hydroxybenzaldehyde, 2-methoxybenzaldehyde, benzaldehyde, cinnamaldehyde; hexyl cinnamaldehyde, α-methyl cinnamaldehyde, ortho-methoxy cinnamaldehyde, α-amyl cinnamaldehyde and mixtures thereof; andc. orally acceptable carriers;
