Abstract: A system and method for printing and drying flavors and fragrances is provided. The system and method include a source of flavor or fragrance, a print assembly adapted to print the flavor or fragrance, a movable product conveyor that directly receives the printed flavor or fragrance and a drying component. As the movable product conveyor passes through or adjacent to the drying component, the printed flavor or fragrance is dried thereby providing a free-flowing flavor or fragrance product.

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 fragrance composition composed of a high-performance fragrance component and isopropyl myristate is provided. Use of isopropyl myristate as a solvent provides for an increase in the perceived fragrance intensity of a fabric care product, in particular under dry stage conditions.

Abstract: A system and method for evaluating a fragrance product or object provided, wherein the system includes a virtual reality component configured to present a user with a product or object in a virtual reality environment; an optional biometric sensor component configured to obtain the user's biometric data; a wearable scent delivery component configured to deliver a scent to the user; and a digital controller component that synchronizes deliver of the scent with the user's interaction with the product or object in the virtual reality environment.

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).
