[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a fragrance composition for burning incense and the like, which is characterized in that it emits less smoke when burned and has good odor retention. More specifically, the present invention relates to a fragrance composition capable of appropriately controlling the amount of smoke and fragrance generated when the fragrance composition is fired and the flammability at the time of production.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Generally, incense compositions can be used as incense, fragrance, incense, incense, etc. Among them, incense has been used for many types of Buddhist courtesy since ancient times. Things are used. For example, agarwood, sandalwood, kaoru, choji, kanmatsu, repose, keisui, cinnamon bark, honka, and ryuuno are used as raw materials for burning incense, which are fired at Buddhist places such as the memorial service. However, at present they rely on imports from very limited areas,
Many are expensive. Therefore, in many cases, the appearance is resembled by imparting a fragrance or the like. However, they have the disadvantage that they emit a large amount of smoke when burned, as well as unpleasant odors, which not only harm the respiratory system of the human body, but also adhere to and contaminate indoor wall furniture. In particular, in recent years, with the widespread use of cooling and heating appliances, the interior of the room is being hermetically sealed, and many harmful effects when using conventional incense burning and the like are recognized.

[0003] Until now, JP-A-1-213224 and JP-A-2-262513 have reported reports on, for example, incense burning with less smoke as a fragrance composition, and attempts have been made to improve the above disadvantages. . For example,
Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. Hei 1-213224 proposes a method in which charcoal or the like is used as a main raw material and impregnated with a fragrance or the like. However, when the color is made to resemble natural burning incense, a white paste component is sprayed on the outer surface. After the color is changed to white, the color needs to be colored, the operation is complicated, and there is a problem in workability. Japanese Patent Laid-Open No.
JP-A-262513 discloses a method of mixing and increasing the amount of calcined vermiculite (vercurite) powder in burning incense, but it is intended simply to dilute the conventional product. The incense nature itself, which is the original function of burning incense, will be diluted, and on the contrary, it will be necessary to increase the amount used,
The amount of smoke generated is not much different from the conventional one.

In the above-mentioned prior art, attempts have been made to suppress the amount of smoke due to combustion, but the performance is still unsatisfactory, such as impairing the fragrance, which is the original function of a fragrance composition such as incense. That's enough. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to solve the drawbacks of the prior art, namely, the problem of smoke and smoke pollution, and to improve the flammability and scent of conventional scented compositions such as incense. It is an object of the present invention to provide an incense composition such as an incense burn which has an incense similar to that of the original incense burn and the like, and has less smoke.

[0005]

In order to solve the above-mentioned problems,
The present inventors have prepared a mixture of one or more of silica gel, perlite, volcanic ash, activated clay, activated alumina, coal ash, and zeolite, and a pigment, a fragrance, and a fragrance coated or adsorbed. It has been found that the above problems can be solved in terms of the amount of smoke and the aroma by mixing activated carbon with 10% by weight or more of the entirety, and using this as the main raw material, leading to the completion of the present invention. Was.

That is, the gist of the present invention is to provide (1) a burning incense which comprises a substrate holding at least an incense burning substance and a coloring substance;
Gel, perlite, volcanic ash, activated clay, activated alumina,
One selected from the group consisting of coal ash and zeolite
And at least the aroma substance and the coloring

Any of (1) to (3) above, wherein
The incense burner described above, and (5) the aromatic substance is hiba oil or hinoki oil.
(4) The incense burner described in (4) .

The odorant composition of the present invention is an odorant composition comprising at least an odorant substance and a substrate holding the odorant substance, and has low smoke and good odor retention during combustion. It is characterized by. Such performance is
This can be achieved by using a substance that emits less smoke during combustion and that retains the fragrant substance and the like well as the substrate that holds the fragrant substance. Examples of such a substrate include silica gel, pearlite, volcanic ash, activated clay, activated alumina, coal ash, zeolite, and the like, all of which exhibit a white to off-white color and have excellent coloring properties due to a coloring substance. . For this reason, the color can be made to resemble the incense composition such as natural burnt incense, and it can be made more practical. In addition, various colors can be added. The shape of these substrates varies depending on the application.
It has a size of 0 to 5 mesh. These bases can be used alone or in combination of two or more.

[0008] In order to prepare a colorable fragrance composition, a colorant is coated or adsorbed on the substrate. The coloring substance used at this time is not particularly limited because it differs depending on the use of the aroma composition, and examples thereof include caramel, β-carotene, gardenia pigment, tamarind pigment, and various dyes and pigments. Is used.

The scented substance used in the scented composition of the present invention is not particularly limited because it varies depending on the use, but synthetic fragrances such as benzaldehyde and ethyl benzoate,
Leachate such as cinnamon, natural clove oil, natural peppermint oil,
And perfume such as natural jasmine oil. Above all, when the fragrance composition of the present invention is used particularly for burning incense, as a fragrance substance, agarwood, sandalwood, kaoriku, choji, kanmatsu,
It is possible to use those obtained from rest, sighs, cinnamon, honka, dragonflies, and the like, or similar synthetic products.

[0010] In addition to the above-mentioned raw materials, the scented composition of the present invention may contain additives such as aromatic substances, if necessary. For example, when an appropriate amount of Hiba oil is used, an aroma composition having an aroma and a forest scent derived from Hiba oil can be obtained. Such aromatic substances are not particularly limited, and for example, plant essential oils such as hiba oil and hinoki oil, synthetic liquid flavors, and the like can be used. Also, as a glue component for holding the aromatic substance,
For example, polysaccharides such as carboxymethylcellulose, dextrin, guar gum, locust gum, xanthan gum, gum arabic, tara gum, carrageenan, and furceleran, and synthetic pastes such as polyvinyl alcohol and sodium acrylate are used.

The scent composition of the present invention can be produced using the above-mentioned raw materials.
The coloring substance and the aromatic substance may be coated or adsorbed on the base material at the same time, or the individual substances may be separately coated or adsorbed in a plurality of times. At this time, the content of the base is usually 10% by weight or more, preferably 30% by weight or more. If the content is less than 10% by weight, for example, when used for burning incense, the amount of smoke is unfavorably unchanged as in conventional products. Further, the content of the scented substance, the coloring substance, the aromatic substance or the like varies depending on the use, but is usually 1 to 10% by weight based on the base. As a method of coating, a method in which a coloring substance or the like is used as a solution, a substrate is immersed in the solution and dried, a method in which the solution is directly sprayed, and the like are used. Examples of the method of adsorption include a method in which a coloring substance or the like is made into a solution, a substrate is immersed in the solution, and the substrate is dried after adsorption, a method in which the material is filled in a tube or the like, and the solution is flowed and adsorbed. Note that these adsorption and coating may be performed simultaneously.

In the present invention, the fragrance composition obtained as described above may be further blended with activated carbon for improving flammability. The compounding amount is usually 4% in the fragrance composition.
The content is 0% by weight or less, preferably 10 to 30% by weight. 4
If used in excess of 0% by weight, the combustibility becomes too strong and the material turns black, so that deterioration in quality is inevitable.

And dried to a water content of 5% or less. Next, 5%, 1%, and 3% of natural mint oil, ethyl benzoate, and hinoki oil were mixed as a fragrance, and simultaneously sprayed onto silica gel to be adsorbed and coated. Then, as in Example 1, 30% by weight of granular activated carbon (10 to 30 mesh) was used.
By mixing, a scentable composition of the present invention (substrate content: 70% by weight) was obtained.

Example 3 A 5-fold diluted caramel solution for food was prepared. The caramel solution was then poured into granular volcanic ash (10-30 mesh), filtered and colored. Hot air was applied to the colored granular ash to dry it until the water content became 5% or less. Next, in the same manner as in Example 2, after adsorbing and coating a sweet pine extract and a cinnamon extract as an incense amount, granular activated carbon (10 to 30 mesh) was mixed in 30% by weight of the whole, and the incense composition of the present invention ( The base material content was 70% by weight).

Example 4 60 parts of granular perlite (10 to 30 mesh) and 40 parts of granular zeolite (10 to 30 mesh) were mixed. Using a rotary mixer, the gardenia pigment diluted 50-fold was sprayed, uniformly colored, and then dried by applying hot air to a water content of 5% or less. Then, after adsorbing and coating benzaldehyde as a fragrance as in Example 1, the granular activated carbon (10 to
30 mesh%) was mixed therein to obtain 30% by weight of the whole to obtain a fragrance composition of the present invention (substrate content: 70% by weight).

Example 5 After mixing 70 parts of coal ash and 30 parts of activated alumina, 5 to 15% of carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and an appropriate amount of water were added to this powder to form a paste. This was blown with hot air, dried sufficiently, and pulverized to form granules of 10 to 30 mesh. Using a rotary mixer, a tamarind dye solution diluted 100-fold was sprayed and uniformly colored. Next, it was dried by applying hot air until the water content became 5% or less. Then, after adsorbing and coating natural sandalwood oil as a fragrance in the same manner as in Example 2, granular activated carbon (10 to 30 mesh) was mixed in 20% by weight of the whole, and the fragrance composition of the present invention (substrate content) Is 80% by weight)
