  • PROCESS FOR REDUCING MALODOURS
    Publication number: 20140322156
    Abstract: The use of 2-amino-1,3-propanediol and/or substituted 2-amino-1,3-propanediol for degradation of malodours caused by the presence of acids, thiols, sulphides, amines, aromatics, alcohols and/or heteroaromatics is described. By addition of 2-amino-1,3-propanediol and/or substituted 2-amino-1,3-propanediol to the ambient air or, for example, incorporated into washing compositions, it is possible to reduce corresponding malodours.

  • Detergents or cleaning agents containing reaction products of odorants with metal oxides
    Patent number: 8815786
    Abstract: Washing or cleaning agents are described which contain reaction products of odorants with metal oxides, such as for example ZnO, ZrO2, Fe2O3, Fe3O4, Al2O3, TiO2, CeO2 and/or SnO2. The reaction products are preferably produced separately and subsequently added to the washing or cleaning agent matrix. These washing or cleaning agents bring about advantages when fragrancing objects, such as for example textiles. In particular, they make it possible to achieve targeted scent release by remoistening the treated object.

  • PERFUME COMPOSITION COMPRISING FRAGRANCE ALDEHYDE OR KETONE AND OXAZOLIDINE FRAGRANCE PRECURSOR
    Publication number: 20130288940
    Abstract: The invention relates to perfume compositions encompassing fragrance aldehyde or fragrance ketone, and to an oxazolidine fragrance precursor, corresponding thereto, that can release the same fragrance aldehyde or the same fragrance ketone. The perfume compositions can be incorporated in stable fashion into consumer products such as, for example, washing agents, and enable both efficient product scenting and long-lasting item scenting, in particular of textiles.

  • LILIAN SURROGATE
    Publication number: 20120004328
    Abstract: Due to toxicological concerns, it may be desirable to replace the fragrance compound lilial with less problematic compounds without losing the creative power and quality regarding perfumes. The present invention addresses this need by using selected oxazolidines described herein.

  • Use of hexenal derivatives as perfumes
    Patent number: 7259135
    Abstract: The invention relates to hexenal derivatives of general structure (I), in which one of the bonds represented by dashes is a C—C single bond and the other is a C?C double bond, with the proviso that the C?C double bond can have a Z or E configuration, provided that it is in the C¾ position. Said derivatives are characterised by an interesting and original perfume that pervades a wide area and are suitable for use as perfumes, for example in cosmetic preparations, technical products or the alcohol-based perfume industry.
