Patent number: 6231912Abstract: There is described 3-mercapto-2-alkyl-alkane-1-ols of the general formula A, wherein R1=CH3, C2H5, C3H7 (n, iso) or C4H9 (n, iso, tert.) and R2=CH3, C2H5, C3H7 (n, iso) or C4H9 (n, iso, tert.), which can be employed as fragrance or organoleptic substances. For production of these compounds, either the corresponding 3-acetylthio-2-alkyl-alkanal or the 3-mercapto-2-alkyl-alkanal can be converted with a reducing agent. Described is also a process for organoleptically enhacing a foodstuff with an alkanol of the general Formula A, wherein an ester of the alkanol is added to the foodstuff and the ester fortified foodstuff is subjected to a process, in which the ester is at least partially converted to the alkanol.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 1998Date of Patent: May 15, 2001Assignee: Dragoco Gerberding & Co.

Patent number: 6083529Abstract: A stable dry powder skin care powder having prolonged and controlled release properties, useful as baby powders, body talcs, deodorizing powders, OTC eczema preparations, foot powders, anti-fungal powders, etc. The dry powder is preferably prepared by a process comprising spray-drying a mixture of liposome encapsulated active agent, starch and maltodextrin. The particle is designed so that activity of, e.g., an anti-inflammatory agent such as Dragosantol.RTM. can be specifically triggered by skin conditions, such as moisture, for optimal timing of delivery.Type: GrantFiled: April 13, 1998Date of Patent: July 4, 2000Assignee: Dragoco Gerberding & Co.

Patent number: 5981792Abstract: The process for preparing 1-functional allyl alcohol carboxylic esters comprises reacting a 3-functional allyl alcohol with the anhydride of the carboxylic acid at temperatures above 100.degree. C. in the presence of metal compounds of transition groups V to VII, namely at temperatures of 100-200.degree. C., preferably 130-150.degree. C. As metal compounds, it is possible to use oxidic metal compounds in the highest or at least second highest oxidation state of the transition metals, for example tungstic acid or its salts and/or tungsten(VI) oxide and/or molybdenum(V) oxide and/or molybdenum(VI) oxide and/or rhenium(VII) oxide. The 3-functional allyl alcohol and the carboxylic anhydride are advantageously used in equimolar amounts, if desired with a slight excess of anhydride, and an alkali metal salt of a weak acid, for example sodium carbonate or sodium acetate, can be added to the reaction mixture in an amount sufficient to trap free protons.Type: GrantFiled: February 26, 1998Date of Patent: November 9, 1999Assignee: Dragoco Gerberding & Co.
