  • the perfume compositions designed to mask these nitrogenous malodors comp ⁇ se fragrance materials and odor neutralizers, which will now be set-forth in more detail below.
  • the present detergent composition will comp ⁇ se from about 0.01 % to about 0.5 %, preferably from about 0.02 % to about 0.2 %, most preferably from about 0.03 % to about 0.08 %, by weight of the perfume composition.
  • a) Fragrance Matenals The present perfume compositions contain fragrance matenals which mask the presence of malodors emanating from amines and so allow the liquid dishwashing detergent to be free of amme malodors. These fragrance materials mask the amine malodors by providing scents which compete with the malodors for access to the nasal receptor sites.
  • malodors associated with ammes and other such nitrogenous components of a dish detergent product are liberated from the dish detergent product as soon as the detergent is exposed to air (e.g. the bottle is opened and the product is then applied to a dish surface or diluted further with water).
  • the malodors will have accumulated in the headspace in the container between the different times that the consumers has used the detergent. Once the malodors are free of the detergent container, they diffuse into the surrounding air, move to the nasal receptor sites and provide an adverse olfactory signal which consumers instantly associate with the product.
  • fragrance materials contained in the present perfume compositions to mask malodors is related both to: 1) the amount of time that the scents emanating from the fragrances require to diffuse into the air and hence move from the detergent composition containers to the nasal receptor sites; and 2) the relative potency of a scent or malodor.
  • the rate at which a fragrance material diffuses into the air and hence escapes the detergent composition can also be related to its hydrophobicity, which is discussed more detail below.
  • the fragrance materials which constitute the perfume compositions of the present invention will be selected based on one or more of these three criteria: volatility, hydrophobicity and potency.
  • An essential component of the perfume compositions of the present invention is a highly volatile fragrance matenal.
  • Highly volatile fragrance matenals have lower boiling points than other substances and so the scents from these matenals quickly diffuse into the air, and compete with the malodors to bind to the nasal receptor sites, becoming the first odors recognized and identified by the bram. Because the scents form the highly volatile fragrance materials are more volatile and arrive before the amme malodors at the nasal receptor sites, when the amine malodors do finally arrive the nasal receptor sites have already been occupied thus effectively masking the recognition of the amine malodors.
  • the present perfume compositions may comprise from about 0 10 % to about 4 %, preferably from about 0.15 % to about 2.5 %, most preferably from about 0.20 % to about 2.0 %, of the highly volatile fragrance materials.
  • Highly volatile fragrance material have a boiling point of below 180°C, preferably below 160°C , most preferably below about 140°C under 1 atmosphere of pressure.
  • suitable highly volatile fragrance materials and their respective boiling point values under 1 atmosphere of pressure include the following: Fragrance Matenal Boiling Point (°C)
  • volatile fragrance materials are less volatile than the highly volatile fragrance materials and have a boiling point of between about 180°C and about 260 °C, more preferably between about 185°C and about 240°C , most preferably between about 190°C and about 220°C under 1 atmosphere of pressure.
  • the perfume compositions of the present invention may compnse from about 30 % to about 50 % , preferably from about 35 % to about 50 %, most preferably from about 40 % to about 45 %, of volatile fragrance matenals. Because the perfume compositions of the present invention are more effective at masking amine malodors and other malodors ongmating in nitrogenous compounds when both highly volatile and volatile perfume compositions are present. As summarized above, the present perfume compositions effectively mask these malodors because they include highly-volatile fragrance materials, which arrive at the nasal receptor sites before the malodors, therefore effectively masking the malodors.
  • scents already resident in the sites may degrade or migrate out of them; thus giving the malodors an opportunity to bind with the sites and thereby making the odors perceptible to consumers. This is especially the case if there is a higher concentration of malodors or the malodors are more potent than the scents from highly volatile fragrance materials.
  • fragrance materials m the perfume composition which are not as volatile as the highly volatile fragrance materials
  • the scents from these fragrance materials should arrive either simultaneously or soon after the malodors and compete with the malodors for the sites vacated as scents emitted by the highly volatile fragrance materials degrade or migrate out of the nasal receptor sites.
  • Nonhmitmg examples of suitable volatile fragrance materials and their respective boiling point values under 1 atmosphere of pressure include the following:
  • the boiling point values can also be calculated by computer programs, based on molecular structural data, such as those described m "Computer- Assisted Prediction of Normal Boiling Points of Pyrans and Pyrroles," D. T. Stanton et al, J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci., 32 (1992), pp. 306-316, "Computer- Assisted Prediction of Normal Boiling Points of Furans, Tetrahydrofurans, and Thiophenes," D. T. Stanton et al, J. Chem. Inf. Comput. Sci., 31 (1992), pp. 301-310, and references cited therein, and "Predicting Physical Properties from Molecular Structure," R. Murugan et al, Chemtech, June 1994, pp. 17-23. All the above publications are incorporated herein by reference. n) Hydrophobicity
  • Another important parameter of the fragrance materials used in the present invention is the degree of hydrophobicity.
  • Liquid detergent compositions of the present invention may be heavily diluted, having formulas containing as much as 80 % of water.
  • hydrophobic fragrance materials are more likely to concentrate themselves at the interface between the liquid detergent composition and the headspace in the detergent container (e.g. squeeze bottle) air located in the bottle which the liquid dishwashing detergent is contained.
  • the detergent container e.g. squeeze bottle
  • those fragrance materials which are more hydrophobic will be positioned on the liquid detergent-air interface and thus more readily evaporate into the air to provide pleasant fragrant signaling.
  • the degree of hydrophobicity of a fragrance matenal can be correlated with its octanol/water partitioning coefficient ("P").
  • the octanol/water partitioning coefficient of a fragrance matenal is the ratio between its equihbnum concentration in octanol and in water.
  • a fragrance matenal with a greater partitioning coefficient P is more hydrophobic.
  • a fragrance matenal with a smaller partitioning coefficient P is more hydrophilic.
  • the preferred fragrance matenals of the present invention have an octanol/water partitioning coefficient P of 1000 or greater. Since the partitioning coefficients of the fragrance matenals normally have high value, they are more conveniently given in the form of their loganthm to the base 10, log P.
  • the perfume compositions of the present invention may compnse from about 20 % to about 70 % , preferably from about 30 % to about 60 %, most preferably from about 40 % to about 55 % of fragrance matenals which have ClogP values of greater than 2.5.
  • the logP of many perfume ingredients has been reported; for example, the Pomona92 database, available from Daylight Chemical Information Systems, Inc. (Daylog CIS), Irvme, Calif, contains many, along with citations to the original literature. However, the logP values are most conveniently calculated by the "CLOGP” program, also available from Daylight CIS. This program also lists expenmental logP values when they are available m the Pomona92 database.
  • the "calculated logP" (ClogP) is determined by the fragment approach of Hansch and Leo (cf , A Leo, in Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry, Vol. 4, C Hansch, P. G. Sammens, J B Taylor and C. A. Ramsden, Eds., p.
  • the fragment approach is based on the chemical structure of each perfume ingredient, and takes into account the numbers and types of atoms, the atom connectivity, and chemical bonding.
  • the ClogP values which are the most reliable and widely used estimates for this physicochemical property, are used instead of the experimental logP values in the selection of perfume ingredients which are useful m the present invention.
  • Nonhmiting examples of suitable fragrance matenals and their respective ClogP values include the following:
  • Potency refers to the perceptual intensity of a perfume matenal vs. the amount of fragrance matenal needed to achieve that intensity. Every fragrance matenal has unique psychophysical properties (they are not all equally strong), although generally, the fragrance matenals with a lower boiling point are more potent than fragrance matenals with a higher boiling pomt indicating that the potency of a substance is related to the quickness with which it evaporates and diffuses into the air to create a perceptible scent.
  • the fragrance matenals used herein has a low-odor- detection threshold.
  • low-odor-threshold fragrance materials have a odor detection threshold of less than 4.0 mg/L, preferably less than 1.0, more preferably less than 0 10 mg/L when the fragrance matenal is dissolved m a water matnx.
  • the perfume composition of the present invention may compnse less than about 20 %, preferably less than about 8 %, most preferably less than about 0.08 % of fragrance materials which have a low-odor-threshold.
  • Nonhmitmg examples of suitable potent fragrance matenals and their respective odor detection threshold values when the fragrance matenal is dissolved in a water matrix include the following:
  • odor detection threshold of fragrance materials are well-known and disclosed in available reference matenals, e.g., "Compilation of Odor and Taste Threshold Values Data," F.A. Fazzala ⁇ , ed., American Society for Testing and Materials, 1978.
  • a gas chromatograph is characterized to determine the exact volume of material injected by the syringe, the precise split ratio, and the hydrocarbon response using a hydrocarbon standard of known concentration and chain-length distribution. The air- flow is accurately measured and, assuming the duration of a human inhalation to last 0.2 minutes, the sample volume is calculated. Since the precise concentration at the detector at any point m time is known, the mass per volume inhaled is known and hence the concentration of material.
  • solutions are dehevered to the sniff port at the back-calculated concentration. A panelist sniffs the GC effluent and identifies the retention time when odor is noticed. The average over all panelists determines the threshold of detectability.

  • Odor neutralizers work differently than the fragrance materials discussed above. They mask the malodors by depriving the malodors of access to the nasal receptor sites, but by reducing the amount of the ammes generating the malodor. Any chemical species that upon reacting with an ammes yields products which generate little or significantly less malodor than ammes is suitable as an odor neutralizer.
  • a preferred species of odor neutralizers are aldehydes; it is well known that aldehydes react with amines in a Schiff reaction to produce a Schiff base and water:
  • R a and R b are both aliphatic substituents
  • the amine may be a diamme included for the benefits it provides on tenacious, hydrophobic and greasy soils See the discussion of diammes below Schiff bases generate little or no malodor and thus by reacting an aldehyde with a amme they reduce the amount of the amme which is present to generate malodors.
  • aldehydes suitable for use in the present invention include: para-tertiary-Butyl-alpha-methly hydrocinnamic aldehyde, 4-(4-Methyl-4-hydroxyamyl)-3-cyclohexane- 1 -Carboxaldehyde, 4-(4-Hydroxy-4- Methyl Pentyl), hydroxycitronellal, alpha-methyl-beta-3,4-methylened ⁇ oxy- phenylpropionaldehyde as well as most aldehydes.
  • Many odor neutralizers e.g. several different species of aldehydes, emit a charactenstic scent and can also serve m the present invention as a fragrance material.
  • perfume compositions of the present invention will consist of an odor neutralizer which is capable of forming a Schiff base when reacted with an aldehyde.
  • Diammes may be used herein in detergent compositions in combination with detersive surfactants at levels which are effective for achieving at least a directional improvement in cleaning performance.
  • usage levels can vary depending not only on the type and severity of the soils and stains, but also on the wash water temperature, the volume of wash water and the length of time the dishware is contacted with the wash water.
  • the composition will preferably contain at least about 0.1%, more preferably at least about 0.2%, even more preferably, at least about 0.25%, even more preferably still, at least about 0.5% by weight of said composition of diamme.
  • the composition will also preferably contain no more than about 15%, more preferably no more than about 10%, even more preferably, no more than about 6%, even more preferably, no more than about 5%, even more preferably still, no more than about 1.5% by weight of said composition of diamme.
  • this invention provides a means for enhancing the removal of greasy/oily soils by combining the specific diammes of this invention with surfactants.
  • Greasy/oily "everyday" soils are a mixture of tnglycendes, lipids, complex polysaccha ⁇ des, fatty acids, inorganic salts and protemaceous matter.
  • diammes, m combination with amphoteric and anionic surfactants in the specific ratios discussed below offer the benefit of improved grease and tough food cleaning which allows the elimination or reduction in the amount of divalent ions in the preferred embodiments of the present formula.
  • This improved cleaning is a result of diammes' proclivity as a buffenng agent to increase the alkalinity of the dishwashing composition.
  • the superior rate of dissolution achieved by divalent ion elimination even allows the formulator to make hand dishwashing detergents, especially compact formulations, at even significantly higher viscosities (e.g., 1,000 centipoise or higher) than conventional formulations while maintaining excellent dissolution and cleaning performance. This has significant potential advantages for making compact products with a higher viscosity while maintaining acceptable dissolution.

  • the level of water is less than 50%, preferably less than 30% by weight of the liquid dishwashing detergent compositions.
  • Said concentrated products provide advantages to the consumer, who has a product which can be used in lower amounts and to the producer, who has lower shipping costs.
  • a suitable water level is less than about 85 %, more preferably less than about 70 % by weight of the liquid dishwashing detergent compositions.
  • the diammes used in the present invention are substantially free from impurities. That is, by “substantially free” it is meant that the diammes are over 95% pure, i.e., preferably 97%, more preferably 99%, still more preferably 99 5%, free of impurities
  • impurities which may be present m commercially supplied diammes include 2-Methyl-l,3- diammobutane and alkylhydropynmidme. Further, it is believed that the diammes should be free of oxidation reactants to avoid diamine degradation and ammonia formation.
  • liquid dishwashing detergent compositions of the present invention be as free of hydrogen peroxide as possible. This is because it is believed that the malodors traditionally associated with diamine-contaming consumers products are emitted by of the nitrogen compounds produced m a reaction between diamme and peroxide Therefore, it is preferred to minimize the amount of hydrogen peroxide present as an impurity in the inventive compositions either by using components which are substantially free of hydrogen peroxide
