  • Patent number: 11344493
    Abstract: Cleavable surfactants of formula (I) having a total hydrophilic-lipophilic balance (HLB) of between 3 and 18 and wherein A is a group capable of releasing a flavor or fragrance aldehyde of formula (R1)CHO or a flavor or fragrance ketone of formula (R1)(R2)CO and is of formula wherein the wavy line indicates the location of the bond between L and A; R1 and R2 represent a hydrogen atom or a saturated or unsaturated C1-C18 hydrocarbon group, provided that at least one of the R1 or R2 groups has 6 consecutive carbon atoms and that both R1 and R2 taken together comprise a maximum of 18 carbon atoms; and L is a linear, branched or cyclic, saturated or unsaturated C3 to C40 hydrocarbon group. These surfactants solubilize and/or stabilize flavor and fragrance aldehydes and ketones in an aqueous environment and at the same time to control their release by hydrolysis.

  • Patent number: 9849437
    Abstract: A method is provided for modifying a surface of a solid conducting material, which includes applying a potential difference between this surface and a surface of another conducting solid material positioned facing it, and wherein, simultaneously, the surface (S) is put into contact with a liquid medium comprising in solution triarylamines (I): while subjecting these triarylamines (I) to electromagnetic radiation, at least partly converting them at into triarylammonium radicals. Also provided is a conducting device which includes two conducting metal materials, the surfaces of which, (S) and (S?) respectively, are electrically interconnected through an organic material comprising conducting fibrillar organic supramolecular species comprising an association of triarylamines of formula (I).
