Abstract: Disclosed is a method for converting cymene generated from renewable low value terpene streams into renewable benzene, toluene, xylenes, and cymene isomers (ortho and meta) under flow disproportionation reaction conditions, which compounds are basic building blocks for fragrance materials. This technology has potential to replace high volume petrochemical-based feedstocks with plant-based building blocks that can fill the renewability gap for key fragrance ingredients.

Abstract: Disclosed is a scalable process for preparation of 14-methyl-16-oxabicyclo[10.3.1]hexadec-12-ene (BCE), a key intermediate for manufacture of fragrance ingredient 3-methylcyclopentadecenone (MUSCENONE®) and analogs through reaction of 3-Methyl-1,5-cyclopentadecanedione (MCPD) and analogs with a metal or metalloid alkoxide in high yield and purity.

Abstract: Methods of preparing unsaturated compounds or analogs through dehydrogenation of corresponding saturated compounds and/or hydrogenation of aromatic compounds are disclosed.

Abstract: Disclosed are candles having a wick, a wax composition, and a gel composition, wherein the wax composition encloses the wick, and the wick is separated from the gel composition. The candle while being burned exhibits one or more desirable properties, such as reduced levels of soot or reduced emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel compounds and their use as fragrance materials.

Abstract: A microcapsule composition containing microcapsules is provided as is a method for making the microcapsule composition and using the microcapsule composition in consumer products.

Abstract: Disclosed are stable microcapsule compositions each containing a microcapsule dispersed in an aqueous phase and a stabilizing agent. The microcapsule compositions are stable for at least 4 weeks when storing at 45° C., and the microcapsule composition is considered stable when (i) the composition has a viscosity of 3000 cP or less and (ii) 20% or less water by volume of the composition is separated from the composition. Also disclosed are consumer products having such a stable microcapsule composition.

Abstract: A consumer product composed of ?1% of a High-Performance fragrance composition and a consumer product active is provided. Use of reduced levels of the High-Performance fragrance composition provides for improved aesthetics such as improved clarity and viscosity, and reduced discoloration and caking.

Abstract: A reloadable microcapsule contains a microcapsule core and a microcapsule wall encapsulating the microcapsule core. The microcapsule core contains a hydrophobic core solvent and a hydrophilic core solvent, and the microcapsule wall, formed of an encapsulating polymer, is permeable to the hydrophilic core solvent. Also disclosed are methods of preparing the reloadable microcapsule and consumer products having the microcapsules.

Abstract: A capsule delivery system. The system has a first capsule containing a first capsule wall encapsulating a first active material and a second capsule containing a second capsule wall encapsulating a second active material. The first and second capsules differ in their wall materials, amounts of wall materials, ratios of wall materials, core modifiers, scavengers, active materials, curing temperatures, heating rates, curing times, or a combination thereof. Also provided is a consumer product containing this capsule delivery system.

Abstract: A hybrid encapsulate formulation obtained by mixing a starch/fragrance emulsion with a core-shell capsule suspension is provided as is a method of using the formulation in a personal care product, a beauty care product, a fabric care product, a home care product, a personal hygiene product, an oral care product and a method for releasing an encapsulated fragrance by moisture, shear, or a combination thereof.

Abstract: This invention provides a novel flavor composition containing a Jerusalem artichoke extract, and methods of preparation and uses thereof in improving, enhancing or modifying flavors in consumables.

Abstract: The present invention relates to spray-dried compositions capable of retaining volatile compounds and methods relating to the same. The present invention also relates to the powders produced by such methods.

Abstract: Microcapsule compositions as disclosed comprising a microcapsule dispersed in an aqueous phase. The microcapsule has a microcapsule core and a microcapsule wall encapsulating the microcapsule core. The microcapsule core contains an active material. The microcapsule wall is formed of a polymeric network comprising a first moiety derived from a protein, and a second moiety derived from a multi-functional electrophile. Also disclosed are preparation methods and consumer products containing the microcapsule compositions.

Abstract: A method of preparing a lysolecithin composition. The method includes the steps of (a) providing a lecithin mixture including a lecithin, water, and ethanol, (b) adding phospholipase A1 or A2 to the lecithin mixture; and (c) allowing an enzymatic reaction to occur so that at least 70% of the phospholipids in the lecithin are converted to lysophospholipids to obtain the lysolecithin composition. Also disclosed are a lysolecithin composition thus prepared, a flavor emulsion prepared from the lysolecithin composition, and a liquid beverage or liquid beverage concentrate containing the lysolecithin composition.

Abstract: A Scutellaria extract, as well as a carbohydrase-treated Scutellaria extract and flavones obtained from Scutellaria are described for use in compositions and methods for improving the taste of a consumable containing a component having an astringent, bitter or off-taste.

Abstract: A Lepidium meyenii extract, as well as aromatic alkamides thereof are described for use in compositions and methods for improving the taste of a consumable containing a component having an astringent, bitter or off-taste.
