  • Perfumery for improved cold throw and burn in candle systems
    Patent number: 7604671
    Abstract: A fragrance composition for use in hydrophobic systems, such as candles, comprising at least one odorant selected for having a minimum cold throw value (?) and a minimum hot throw value (?) is disclosed. A method of formulating a fragrance composition for hydrophobic systems, such as candles, comprising selecting at least one odorant to form a desired fragrance, each odorant having a minimum cold throw value (?) and hot throw value (?), and incorporating the fragrance into a hydrophobic carrier, such as wax material, is disclosed.

  • Malodor covering perfumery
    Patent number: 7585833
    Abstract: Methods of formulating products having nitrogen-based components to reduce malodor thereof and formulating fragrances to add to the product include selecting at least one malodor-reducing odorant determined by calculated values of air impact, flux, dipole moment, clogP and hydrogen bond donor and acceptor indexes and adding the fragrance to the product to mask malodor.

  • Perfumes for rinse-off systems
    Patent number: 7446079
    Abstract: Perfume compositions and method of formulating perfume composition are designed for use in wash-off system to provide either a desired initial release with minimal residual perfume on the targeted system, a long sustained release of fragrance, or a residual deposition of fragrance after use, based upon the odorants selected according to their mass transfer values, odor detection thresholds and/or calculated odor indices.

  • Metal free and low metal salt substitutes containing lysine
    Patent number: 5229161
    Abstract: Salts containing lysine, chloride ion and succinic acid in which the lysine is present in greater molar concentration than the chloride or succinic acid possess a salty flavor making them useful as table salt substitutes and flavor enhancers. Low sodium and low potassium salts containing sodium or potassium in addition to the lysine, chloride ion and succinic acid also are disclosed.
