Abstract: There is described primarily N-nonanoylvanillylamine for use in a therapeutic method as (a) an agent for reducing the appetite and/or (b) an agent for imparting a feeling of fullness and/or (c) a mood enhancer, as well as the non-therapeutic use of N-nonanoylvanillylamine as (a) an agent for reducing the appetite and/or (b) an agent for imparting a feeling of fullness and/or (c) a mood enhancer. The non-therapeutic use of corresponding substance mixtures is also further described. Finally, the invention relates also to orally consumable products (in particular foodstuffs, feeds and medicaments) comprising N-nonanoylvanillylamine, wherein the N-nonanoylvanillylamine is present in a concentration that (a) reduces the appetite and/or (b) brings about a feeling of fullness and/or (c) enhances the mood, but which concentration is low.

Abstract: O/W-emulsifiers are described, comprising: (a) 30-50% by weight of hardened palm oil glycerides; (b) 15-35% by weight of potassium cetyl phosphates; (c) 20-30% by weight of cetyl alcohol, and (d) 5-15% by weight of potassium phosphate, in each case with respect to the total mass of the emulsifier. Further described are corresponding O/W-emulsions, comprising an aqueous phase, an oil phase dispersed in the aqueous phase and between 0.25 and 15% by weight of the abovementioned O/W-emulsifier. Finally, also described are methods for manufacturing such an O/W-emulsion.

Abstract: A fragrance mixture, preferably perfume oil, is described, comprising the constituents (a) (cyclopent-2-enyl ethyl acetate) and additionally (b) one or a plurality of fragrances, preferably with a floral odor note, from the group consisting of alcohols and aldehydes with a molecular weight of 210 g/mol or less and/or (c) one or a plurality of fragrances from the group consisting of ketones, ethers and esters with a molecular weight in the range from 190 g/mol through 250 g/mol.

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of (i) a compound of formula (I) or a (pharmaceutically) acceptable salt thereof or (ii) a mixture comprising one or more or consisting of two or more compounds of formula (I) and/or said salts wherein R1 denotes a radical in ortho-, meta, or para-position to the phenolic OH group, the radical being selected from the group consisting of E/Z-3-methylbut-1-en-1-yl, 3-methylbut-2-en-1-yl and 3-methylbut-3-en-1-yl and R2 denotes a radical in ortho-, meta, or para-position to the phenolic OH group, the radical being selected from the group consisting of H and alkyl groups with 1 to 3 C atoms as antimicrobial agent for inactivation of microorganisms, in particular for rapid inactivation of microorganisms, with the proviso that the use is not within a method for treatment of the human or animal body by surgery or therapy or within a diagnostic method practised on the human or animal body.

Abstract: The invention relates to synergistically effective ternary antimicrobial mixtures.
