Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an aromatic that can maintain an aroma for a long time. SOLUTION: This aromatic is manufactured in such a way that an essential oil composition is prepared by adding a surface active agent, water, and lower alcohol to essential oil and hard charcoal, soft charcoal, a carbonaceous material obtained by carbonizing an organism, such as a vegetable, fruit, nut, bamboo, etc., or another carbonaceous material obtained by baking and carbonizing paper is impregnated with the essential oil composition by throwing the charcoal or carbonaceous materials in the composition. Thereafter, the charcoal or carbonaceous material is dried.

Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

The present invention relates to a fragrance based on charcoal and a method for producing the fragrance.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, it has been known that aroma is obtained by burning incense and incense, or by evaporating a liquid fragrance and releasing it into the air.

[0003] Examples of fragrances which are stable at normal temperature and can be used safely without spills include those made of polyfiber such as paper and cloth.
Ceramics and ceramics made by firing earth and metals, and those made by impregnating essential oils with a porous material such as charcoal as a base material have been considered.

[0004]

However, as a base material impregnated with essential oil and stabilizing for a long time, porous materials such as charcoal, in particular, white charcoal and white charcoal represented by bincho charcoal made from a tree such as ubamegashi, are used. Black charcoal with different firing methods, carbonized organic matter such as vegetables, fruits and nuts, carbonized bamboo so-called bamboo charcoal, charcoalized paper by firing, etc. have good results, but a large amount in a short time There was a difficulty in deeply impregnating the balm.

[0005] In particular, as a method of deeply impregnating a base material such as charcoal with essential oil, a method of diluting the essential oil with a lower alcohol such as ethanol and impregnating the base material has been proposed. However, in this method, although the impregnation is somewhat faster, there is a problem that the vaporization rate of the alcohol is high and the fragrance component is dissipated in a short time. The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a fragrance and a fragrance in which the emission of a fragrance component is maintained for a long time.

[0006]

A method for producing an aromatic agent according to claim 1 (hereinafter referred to as "the present invention 1") comprises preparing an essential oil composition by adding a surfactant, water and a lower alcohol to an essential oil; White charcoal or black charcoal or vegetables, fruits, nuts,
A method for producing a fragrance, characterized in that charcoal obtained by carbonizing an organic substance such as bamboo or charcoal obtained by calcining paper is charged, and white coal, black charcoal or charcoal is impregnated with the composition and then dried. I do.

[0007] The fragrance according to claim 2 is characterized by being produced according to the present invention 1.

[0008] The essential oil referred to in the present invention is generally an essential oil used in the production of fragrances, and this essential oil is also generally called a perfume oil. For example, lavender oil obtained by extracting lavender extract, It is hinoki oil extracted from hinoki. The essential oil has a relaxing effect, an awakening effect, and a bactericidal effect, and any of them may be used, but may be prepared and mixed depending on the use. The surfactant referred to in the present invention may be any of anionic, nonionic, cationic, and double-sided surfactants, and is not particularly limited, but nonionic is preferred. As the lower alcohol used in the present invention, ethanol is desirable from the viewpoint of safety, economy and ease of handling.

In the present invention, a surfactant, water,
An essential oil composition is prepared by adding a lower alcohol. The composition ratio at this time is 0.1 to 2.0 parts by weight of a surfactant and 0.1 to 2.0 parts by weight of water for 1 part by weight of an essential oil. Parts by weight,
The preferred range is 0.1 to 1.0 parts by weight of ethanol.

[0010] In the present invention 1, the essential oil composition is impregnated with white charcoal or black charcoal, charcoal obtained by carbonizing organic matter such as vegetables, fruits, nuts, bamboo, or charcoal obtained by firing paper and carbonized. As the white coal, for example, Bincho charcoal made from a tree such as ubamegashi is used, and as the black charcoal, ordinary charcoal or charcoal obtained by firing and carbonizing paper is used.

The conditions of impregnation in the present invention are as follows.
Hours to about 24 hours are desirable. As for the drying conditions, drying is performed at room temperature. However, in the case of a hurry, the drying may be performed with hot air or the like until it is no longer sticky.

[0012]

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS An embodiment of the present invention will be described below. 50.0 g of nonionic surfactant was mixed with an essential oil of 40.0 g of hinoki oil and 10.0 g of lavender oil in total, 50.0 g. 10.0 g of ethanol and 30.0 g of water were mixed with the above mixture and stirred to prepare an essential oil composition. Into the container of the above-mentioned essential oil composition, 1 kg of Bincho charcoal made from a tree such as Ubamegashi was introduced, the container was shaken so that the essential oil composition was entirely impregnated, stirred for 1 minute, then left for 2 hours, It was placed on a wire mesh in a room and dried for 1 hour. There was no sticky feeling at that time. The product of the fragrance according to the invention was thus obtained.

Although the fragrance of the fragrance obtained by the conventional method has a duration of 5 days, the product obtained in this example is:
The refreshing scent of cypress and the pleasant scent of lavender persisted for a duration of 10 days.

[0014]

According to the first aspect of the present invention, a fragrance having a long duration of fragrance emission can be produced. According to the second aspect of the present invention, the fragrance has a long duration of fragrance emission.

Claims (2)

[Claims] An essential oil composition is prepared by adding a surfactant, water and a lower alcohol to an essential oil, into which a charcoal or paper obtained by carbonizing organic matter such as white charcoal or black charcoal or vegetables, fruits, nuts, bamboo, etc. A method for producing a fragrance, comprising charging a charcoal obtained by calcining and charcoalizing a carbonaceous material, impregnating the above-described composition with white or black charcoal or charcoal, and then drying. 2.
