Abstract: Suggested is a composition for fighting malodors comprising or consisting of (a) at least one physiological cooling gent and (b) at least one water-absorbing polymer and/or hydrogel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a device and a method for the analytical and/or sensory determination of the release of an active substance or several active substances from a release system. In particular, the present invention relates to a device and a method for determining the release of an active substance or active substances, in particular of an odiferous substance or flavoring or an odiferous substance or flavoring mixture, from a capsule or a precursor. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a device and a method for determining the properties of a release system, in particular of a capsule or a precursor. Ultimately, the present invention relates to the use of the device and method according to the invention for the analytical and/or sensory determination of the release of one or more active substances from a release system.

Abstract: Suggested is a fragrance composition comprising or consisting of (a) 3,6-dimethyl-3H-1-benzofuran-2-one and (b) a cosmetically acceptable carrier providing a coconut flavour to various types of substrates.

Abstract: Suggested is a method for the extraction of fragrances from natural starting material consisting of the following steps: (a) providing a sample of the natural starting material in a pressure proof sample container; (b) bringing in the sample in contact with liquefied petroleum gas of propane and/or butane gas, preferably; (c) extracting the fragrances from the natural starting material provided in step (b); (d) venting of the pressure proof sample container, while the liquefied petroleum gas is evaporated and the fragrances is maintained as residue in the container; and optionally (e) dissolving the fragrances in a suitable solvent.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new high-throughput process for reducing impurities in essential oils and extracts (in particular for fragrances, fragrance ingredients, flavours and cosmetic ingredients) under mild conditions. Undesirable natural components such as waxes, but also synthetic materials such as agrochemicals and other environmental pollutants are reduced by using at least one selective nanofiltration membrane. In addition, the present invention relates to a method for reducing coloured components in essential oils to obtain a less coloured or even colourless essential oil, while achieving high re-colouration stability over time. Further, the odour quality is maintained or increased through reduction of undesirable olfactory substances to achieve a purified and higher quality oil.

Abstract: A fragrance mixture and its applications, in particular perfume oils, cosmetic agents, application agents or washing and cleaning agents, containing a sensory effective amount of (i) (E)-2-methyl-but-2-endicarboxylic acid diethyl ester, (ii) (Z)-2-methyl-but-2-endicarboxylic acid diethyl ester or (iii) 2-methylenebutanedicarboxylic acid diethyl ester and mixtures thereof and analogous esters derived from these compounds and mixtures.

Abstract: The invention relates to mixtures having: components (a) having at least one fragrance of the formula (I) where R1=OC—R2, CH2OR3, C1-C8 open-chain or branched aliphatic radical, optionally substituted and/or unsaturated, with R2=an open-chain or branched aliphatic radical, optionally substituted and/or unsaturated, having 2-10 C atoms, with R3=an open-chain or branched aliphatic radical, optionally substituted and/or unsaturated, having 1-8 C atoms, and components (b) having at least one fragrance, different from the fragrances of component a, characterized in that the weight ratio of all components (a) to all components (b) is from 1:10 to 1:10000.

Abstract: What is proposed are specific tetrahydrofuran derivatives of the formula (I), fragrance and aroma substance mixtures comprising these tetrahydrofuran derivatives, their use in fragrance or aroma substance (mixture) and corresponding perfumed products.

Abstract: Suggested is a fragrance composition, comprising (a) at least one a fragrance selected from the group of aromatic nitriles according to formula (I) wherein R1, R2, R3, R4 and R5 independently of one another represent hydrogen or linear or branched C1-C10-alkyl, which is optionally substituted with hydroxy or C1-C4-alkyl or linear or branched C1-C10-alkoxy, which is optionally substituted with hydroxy or C1-C4-alkyl, and (b) at least one a solvent selected from the group consisting of benzylalcohol, benzylbenzoate, diethylphthalate, dipropylene glycol, ethyl alcohol, iso-propyl myristate, triethylcitrate, downol DPM, IsoPar L, triacetine and their mixtures.
