Abstract: Alpha, beta-dialkyl conjugated nitriles are disclosed which have interesting perfumistic qualities. These materials have the general structural formula ##STR1## where R is an aliphatic hydrocarbon radical of about 1 to 15 carbon atoms having no unsaturation in conjugated relationship with either the nitrile unsaturation or the alpha, beta-olefinic unsaturation, and R' and R" are the same or different aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals meeting the description of R, or R' and R", taken together, form a cycloaliphatic radical having about 6 to 15 carbon atoms. They are produced by the reaction of the appropriate aliphatic nitrile and ketone under the influence of a basic catalyst.

Abstract: Novel cyclohexene-3 nitriles are disclosed as perfumery ingredients.

Abstract: Gels are prepared utilizing hydroxypropyl cellulose as the solid matrix phase and a mixture of a linear polyol, a perfume oil and optionally a hydroxypropyl cellulose solvent as the liquid phase.

Abstract: An improvement in perfumed bleach solutions which comprises employing a quaternary ammonium salt as an inert dispersing agent for the perfume oil.

Abstract: Perfumed composites of ethylene and polar monomer copolymers, such as vinyl acetate and ethyl acrylate, are disclosed. Shaped bodies prepared from such composites faithfully retain the fragrance of the perfume oil for periods up to a year and more.

Abstract: Perfume compositions are disclosed containing, as an odorant, propene trimer alcohols or esters of such alcohols with 1 to 4 carbon monocarboxylic acids.

Abstract: The new compound 1,1,2,3,3,5-hexamethylindan-6-nitrile is disclosed. The compound exhibits a very strong musk odor which is greater than its commercially available ketone counterpart from which it is prepared. Its odor intensity is also greater than other known ketone musks.

Abstract: Compositions, preferably in particulate form, comprising a cellular matrix having oil in the cells thereof in which the matrix comprises polysaccharide and polyhydroxy compounds in such proportions that the oil may constitute up to 80% by volume so stably held in the cells that the extractable oil is not substantially in excess of 5%. This is accomplished by proportioning the ingredients to produce a glassy, preferably water soluble, matrix having a plastic or flowable range that prevents or seals oil escape paths in the wall material such as cracks, fissures, pin holes and deep pits. The polysaccharides are primarily not the sweet, readily soluble saccharides like sugar but rather higher polysaccharides of the non-sweet, colloidally soluble types such as natural gums, e.g., gum arabic, starch derivatives, dextrinized and hydrolyzed starches, and the like. The polyhydroxy compounds may be alcohols, plant-type sugars, lactones, monoethers and acetals.
