Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a scented composition for burning incense, which is characterized by less smoke when burned and good scent retention. More specifically, the present invention relates to a scented composition capable of appropriately controlling the amount of smoke and scent generated when a scented composition is fired, and combustibility during production.

[0002]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Generally, a fragrant composition can be used as a burning incense, an aromatic agent, an incense, an incense stick, etc. Among them, the burning incense has been used for many Buddhist etiquette since ancient times. Things are being used. For example, agarwood, sandalwood, scented land, clove, sweet pine, sabbing, sword, cinnamon, cinnamon, honka, ryuno, etc. are used as raw materials for burning incense, which are burned in Buddhist places such as the legal affair. However, these are currently dependent on imports from very limited areas,
Many are expensive. Therefore, in many cases, the appearance is made similar by perfuming a fragrance or the like. However, when they are burned, they generate a lot of smoke stains and unpleasant odors, which not only harm the respiratory system of the human body, but also adhere to indoor wall furniture and contaminate them. In particular, in recent years, with the widespread use of air-conditioning equipment, the interior of the room has been sealed, and many adverse effects have been observed when using conventional incense and the like.

Up to now, there have been reports in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 1-213224 and Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-262513 regarding, for example, a burning scent with less smoke, and attempts have been made to improve the above-mentioned drawbacks. .. For example,
JP-A 1-213224 proposes a method in which charcoal or the like is used as a main raw material and is impregnated with a fragrance or the like. However, when the color is made to resemble a natural incense, a white paste component is sprayed on the outer surface. It is necessary to color after changing to white, and the operation is complicated and there is a problem in workability. In addition, JP-A-2
Japanese Patent Publication No. 262513 discloses a method of mixing powder of burned vermiculite (verculite) in burnt incense and increasing the amount thereof, but it is merely for diluting a conventional product, The fragrance 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 so 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 aroma characteristic which is the original function of the aroma composition such as burning incense. It is enough. The object of the present invention is to solve the drawbacks found in the prior art, that is, the problem of smoke and pollution by smoke, and to improve the flammability and fragrance of conventional fragrant compositions such as incense, thereby improving smoke and odor. It is an object of the present invention to provide a scented composition such as a scented scent that has a scent similar to that of the original scented scent and has less smoke, by making it easier to control the amount of Ss.

The odorant composition according to any one of (1) to (5), wherein the volatile substance is for burning incense.

The scented composition of the present invention is a scented composition comprising at least a scented substance and a base material that holds the scented substance, and has little smoke when burned and has a good scent retention property. Is characterized by. Such performance is
This can be achieved by using, as the base material that holds the odorant substance, a substance that emits less smoke during combustion and that satisfactorily holds the odorant substance or the like. Examples of such a base material include silica gel, perlite, volcanic ash, activated clay, activated alumina, coal ash, zeolite, etc., all of which exhibit white to off-white color and are excellent in colorability by a coloring substance. .. For this reason, the color can be made to resemble a natural scented composition such as a scent, and can be made more practical. Further, it is possible to add various colors other than the above. The shape of these base materials varies depending on the application, but when used for burning incense, it is usually 6
It has a size of 0 to 5 mesh. These bases may be used alone or in combination of two or more.

In order to prepare a coloring fragrant composition as described above, the above-mentioned base material is coated or adsorbed with a coloring substance. The coloring substance used at this time is not particularly limited because it varies depending on the use of the fragrant composition, and examples thereof include caramel, β-carotene, gardenia pigments, pigments such as tamarind pigments, various dyes and pigments. Is used.

The odorant substance used in the odorant 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,
Exudates such as cinnamon, natural clove oil, natural peppermint oil,
Examples include fragrances such as natural jasmine oil. Among them, the scented composition of the present invention, particularly when used for burning incense, agarwood, sandalwood, scented land, clove, sweet pine, as a scented substance.
It is possible to use those obtained from Benzo, cinnamon, cinnamon, essence, Ryuno, etc. or similar synthetic products.

In addition to the above raw materials, the fragrant composition of the present invention may contain additives such as aromatic substances, if necessary. For example, when a suitable amount of hiba oil is used, a fragrant composition having a fragrant property and having a forest-like scent derived from the hiba oil can be obtained.

Also, as the paste component for holding the aromatic substance,
For example, saccharides such as carboxymethyl cellulose, 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 fragrant composition of the present invention can be produced by using the above raw materials. At that time, the fragrant substance,
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. When it is less than 10% by weight, for example, when used for burning incense, the amount of smoke is not the same as that of the conventional product, which is not preferable. The content of the scented substance, the coloring substance, the aromatic substance, etc. varies depending on the intended use, but is usually 1 to 10% by weight relative to the base. As a coating method, a method of using a coloring substance or the like as a solution, immersing the substrate in the solution and drying it, a method of directly spraying the solution, and the like are used. As the adsorption method, a method in which a coloring substance or the like is used as a solution and a base material is immersed in this solution and adsorbed and then dried, or a method of filling a cylinder or the like and allowing the solution to flow and adsorbing is used. In addition, these adsorption and coating may be performed at the same time.

In the present invention, the scented composition obtained as described above may be further blended with activated carbon to improve flammability. Its content is usually 4 in the scented composition.
It is 0% by weight or less, preferably 10 to 30% by weight. Four
If it is used in an amount of more than 0% by weight, the combustibility becomes too strong, and the material becomes black, which inevitably deteriorates the quality.
