Patent number: 6110888Abstract: A fragrance and/or flavor compound of the general formula (I): ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 is one of propyl or a 2-propenyl group and R.sub.2 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.5 alkyl group, said compound having exactly one R.sub.1 and from one to four R.sub.2. The compounds possess antimicrobial activity as well as flavor or odor characteristics acceptable for use in flavors and fragrances, respectively. The compounds are useful in forming flavor and/or fragrance compositions having antimicrobial activity. Product formulations, such as detergents, are useful for imparting both acceptable fragrance and antimicrobial properties. Other product formulations, such as mouthwashes, are useful for imparting both acceptable flavor and antimicrobial properties.Type: GrantFiled: May 10, 1999Date of Patent: August 29, 2000Assignees: Takasago International Corporation, Takasago Institute for Interdisciplinary Science, Inc.Inventors: Andrew T.

Patent number: 5626852Abstract: Described is a fragrancing composition having fragrancing components that are not activated until, e.g., application to the skin of a human. The composition is alkaline or (if anhydrous) capable of producing an alkaline pH when in contact with water, prior to application, and includes (1) a vehicle such that when the composition is in contact with water, prior to application, the composition is at an alkaline pH; and (2) at least one potential fragrance that is at least one compound having little or no odor in the alkaline composition but which, e.g., is hydrolyzed in a lower pH environment to produce compounds having a relatively strong aroma. Upon application of the alkaline composition to the skin surface, the strong buffering capacity of the skin (the surface of which has a normal pH of 5.5-7.0) neutralizes alkalinity of the composition (lowers pH) so as to restore normal skin surface pH; the potential fragrance is then hydrolyzed at the lower pH to release the compound having relatively strong aroma.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 1994Date of Patent: May 6, 1997Assignees: The Mennen Company, Takasago International CorporationInventors: Robert Suffis, Morton L. Barr, Kenya Ishida, Kiyohito Sawano, Augustinus G. van Loveren, Tetsuo Nakatsu, Carter B. Green, Gary A. Reitz, Raphael K. L. Kang, Toshiya Sato, deceased
