Description

Biodegradable fragrance composition

It relates to a biodegradable perfume composition.

'Pharmaceuticals and Personal Care Products as Pollutants (PPcPs)' refers to many types of chemical products for personal health, hygiene and beauty purposes, such as soap, lotion, toothpaste, perfume, sunscreen. there is These chemical components for PPcPs are emerging as a global problem because they can cause temporary or long-term toxicity to aquatic ecosystems such as algae, fish and daphnia living in freshwater or seawater.

In particular, among PPcPs, musk-based ingredient (synthetic musk) is known as a representative fragrance ingredient and has good palatability and durability, so it is used in cosmetics, perfumes, and household products, and thousands of tons are produced worldwide every year. PPcPs chemicals, such as Musk components, dissolve in water and accumulate in the adipose tissue of aquatic organisms, and even at low concentrations, they exhibit chronic or delayed adverse effects due to prolonged exposure to the ecosystem. In addition, due to its impact on the aquatic environment, it causes malformations of aquatic organisms or disturbance of the ecosystem.

On the other hand, research on perfumes considering the aquatic ecosystem is insignificant, and biodegradability data decomposing in aquatic environments are not available for all perfume ingredients.

One aspect is to provide a biodegradable perfume composition comprising cis-3-hexenol, hedione and sandalore as active ingredients.

Another aspect is to provide a personal care product comprising the perfume composition.

Another aspect is to provide a home care product comprising the perfume composition.

One aspect is to provide a biodegradable fragrance composition comprising an alcohol-based fragrance including a green-based and woody-based fragrance, and a ketone-based fragrance. In one embodiment, there is provided a biodegradable perfume composition comprising cis-3-hexenol (cis-3-Hexenol), hedione and sandalore as active ingredients.

The perfume composition includes a synthetic perfume that is “readily biodegradable”.

As used herein, the term "readily biodegradable" refers to a material having the ability to be biodegradable by 60 to 100% in a natural state by exposure to sunlight, water, and microbial activity for 28 days. Therefore, the composition according to one aspect is well decomposed in a water environment by including a material having a biodegradability of 60 to 100%, it is possible to improve problems such as aquatic organism malformation or ecosystem disturbance that have appeared in conventional fragrances.

As used herein, the term "alcoholic fragrance" is a compound having -OH (alcohol group) as a functional group, and is a green type, herbal, fruity type, floral type. It is divided into series and woody series. Specifically, the green series includes cis-3-hexenol, 2,6-nonadienol, and the like. In addition, the herb series includes terpineol, eucalyptol, and the like. In addition, the fruit flavor series includes benzyl alcohol and the like.

As used herein, the term "ketone perfume" has a structure of r-CO-R' in which an oxygen atom double bonded to one carbon atom and two different carbon atoms are bonded. Specifically, the ketone fragrances are divided into fruity series, floral series, gourmand series, musky series, and the like. The fruit flavor series includes raspberry ketone. In addition, the flower fragrance series includes dihydrojasmone and the like. In addition, the Gourmand series includes 6-acetyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine (6-acetyl-2,3,4,5-tetrahydropyridine). In addition, the musk family includes musk ketone and the like.

In one embodiment, the perfume composition may include 0.01 to 1.0% by weight of cis-3-hexenol, 25 to 35% by weight of hedion, and 2.0 to 5.0% by weight of sandalore with respect to the total weight of the composition. there is.

The cis-3-hexenol (CAS NO. 928-96-1) smells like freshly cut grass, and is a major component of the green series. The cis-3-hexenol may be included in an amount of 0.01 to 1.0% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. For example, the cis-3-hexenol is 0.01 to 1.0 wt%, 0.01 to 0.8 wt%, 0.01 to 0.7 wt%, 0.01 to 0.6 wt%, 0.01 to 0.5 wt%, 0.05 to 1.0 based on the total weight of the composition Weight%, 0.05 to 0.8% by weight, 0.05 to 0.6% by weight, 0.1 to 0.8% by weight, 0.1 to 0.5% by weight or 0.3 to 0.5% by weight may be included. At this time, when the content of cis-3-hexenol is less than the above range, there is a problem that the smell of fresh green feeling is reduced. there is.

The Hedion (CAS NO. 24851-98-7) is a good raw material to give a sophisticated feeling with a delicate floral scent. The hedion may be included in an amount of 25 to 35% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. For example, the hedion may contain 25 to 35% by weight, 25 to 33% by weight, 25 to 31% by weight, 26 to 35% by weight, 26 to 34% by weight, 26 to 32% by weight, 27 to the total weight of the composition. to 35% by weight, 27 to 34% by weight, 27 to 32% by weight, 29 to 34% by weight or 30 to 35% by weight. At this time, when the content of Hedion is less than the above range, there is a problem that the feeling of the soft floral fragrance that emits the fragrance is reduced. has a problem.

The sandalore (CAS NO. 65113-99-7) is a woody-based raw material, a raw material often used to give the feeling of sandalwood, and provides durability and a warm reverberation. The sandalore may be included in an amount of 2.0 to 5.0% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. For example, the sandalore is 2.0 to 5.0% by weight, 2.0 to 4.8% by weight, 2.0 to 4.5% by weight, 2.0 to 4.3% by weight, 2.0 to 4.0% by weight, 2.0 to 3.5% by weight or 2.0 based on the total weight of the composition to 3.0 weight may be included. At this time, when the content of sandalore is less than the above range, there is a problem that the warmth and reverberation are not sufficiently exhibited, and when it exceeds the above range, there is a problem that a woody scent may be dominant.

The perfume composition may further include a synthetic perfume. The synthetic fragrance is, for example, allyl heptanoate (Allyl heptanoate), nerolidol (Nerolidol), 3-hexen-1-yl methyl carbonate (3-Hexen-1-yl methyl carbonate), Linalyl acetate (Linalyl acetate) ), ethyl linalool, citronellyl acetate, vanillin, phenyl ethyl alcohol, terpineol, ionone, and the like. The synthetic fragrance may be included in an amount of 85 to 99.9% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. For example, the synthetic fragrance is 85 to 99.9 wt%, 85 to 99 wt%, 85 to 98.5 wt%, 87 to 99.9 wt%, 88 to 99.9 wt%, 90 to 99.9 wt%, 95 based on the total weight of the composition to 99.9 wt%, 96 to 99.9 wt%, 97 to 99.9 wt% or 98 wt%. At this time, if the content of the synthetic fragrance is less than the above range, there is a problem that the original fragrance may be masked or the strength of the fragrance may be lowered by a solvent, etc. , there is a problem that consumer preference decreases.

In another embodiment, the fragrance composition may further include a natural fragrance. The natural fragrance is, for example, grapefruit oil (grapefruit oil), geranium oil (geranium oil), clay sage oil (clary sage oil), lemon oil (lemon oil), chamomile oil (chamomile oil), eucalyptus oil (eucalyptus) oil) and lavender oil. The natural fragrance may be included in an amount of 0.1 to 3.0% by weight based on the total weight of the composition. For example, the natural fragrance is 0.1 to 3.0% by weight, 0.1 to 2.8% by weight, 0.1 to 2.5% by weight, 0.1 to 2.0% by weight, 0.5 to 3.0% by weight, 0.5 to 2.5% by weight, 0.5 to the total weight of the composition to 2.0% by weight or from 1.0 to 2.5% by weight. At this time, when the content of the natural fragrance is less than the above range, there is a problem that the natural fragrance is not sufficiently exhibited in the natural fragrance. In one embodiment, in the case of a composition containing a synthetic fragrance, there is a problem that the synthetic fragrance does not harmonize with each other and a rough green fragrance is felt. And it was confirmed that the preference increases. Therefore, the perfume composition according to an aspect may gently harmonize the rough feeling and the smell from the synthetic perfume by adding a natural perfume to the synthetic perfume and induce a luxurious fragrance.

Hereinafter, preferred examples are presented to help the understanding of the present invention. However, the following examples are only provided for easier understanding of the present invention, and the contents of the present invention are not limited by the following examples.

[Preparation example]

Preparation Example 1. Selection of fragrance raw materials with high biodegradability

1-1. Relationship between Log P-value of Fragrance and Biodegradability

It was judged that biodegradation would be good only when solubility in water was high, so a log P-value was selected as the first factor. The log P-value of a fragrance is a value obtained by taking the log of the value representing the solubility ratio when a single fragrance is dissolved in octanol and when dissolved in water. The higher the log P-value, the more hydrophobic the fragrance, and the lower the value It can be called hydrophilicity. As a result of comparing the log P-value and biodegradability of 92 compounds of a single chemical fragrance ingredient frequently used, it was difficult to find a clear correlation between the two, so it could not be considered that the log P-value had an effect on the biodegradability.

1-2. Relationship between chemical functional groups and biodegradability

The relationship between the second factor, the chemical functional group, and the degree of biodegradation was confirmed under the assumption that the more active functional groups with high reactivity are included, the better the biodegradation will be. Among the 92 compounds with a single fragrance ingredient, molecules with a benzene ring showed high biodegradability, but a few exceptional cases were found, so the causal relationship between molecular structural characteristics and biodegradability could not be confirmed.

1-3. Biodegradable fragrance substances according to OECD guidelines

In order to screen raw materials with high biodegradability, values derived from experiments based on OECD guidelines for 121 frequently used fragrance ingredients (92 chemical raw materials and 29 natural raw materials) were used.

The OECD guideline for biodegradability measurement basically uses the 301 method, and there are rare biodegradability values measured through the 310 and 302 methods. The types and characteristics of the OECD guidelines are shown in Table 1 below.

OECD TG Test Methods note 301A Dissolved organic carbon reduction measurement Similar to ISO standard 7827-1984 301B Measurement of carbon dioxide emission 301C Oxygen Absorption Measurement 301D Dissolved oxygen consumption measurement using sealed test bottle 301E Revised OECD Screening Test (Dissolved Organic Carbon Reduction Test II) 301F Respiratory measurement test using a manometer The most recently devised and currently most actively used version 310 CO2 measurement test in airtight container (Headsapce test)

Since the biodegradability test method of Table 1 is a technique for measuring the amount of CO ₂ or O ₂ that is changed while the microorganism decomposes a substance, even if the same substance is tested in the same way, the biodegradability may vary to a certain extent. For this reason, when international biodegradability is handled, a substance with a biodegradability value of 60% or more is expressed as "Readily biodegradable" through the OECD guideline technique. Based on the biodegradability data for each material according to the above criteria, 10 types of synthetic raw materials were selected as primary fragrance candidates, and are shown in Table 2 below.

Fragrance Candidates cis-3-Hexenol Allyl heptanoate Nerolidol Hedione 3-Hexen-1-yl methyl carbonate Linalyl acetate Ethyl linalool Citronellyl acetate Sandalore Vanillin

[Example]

Example 1. Preparation of a perfume composition with high biodegradability

It was prepared in the composition and content of Table 3 below using the perfume candidate material selected in Preparation Examples 1-3. According to the purpose of a perfume composition with high biodegradability, the scent of green, herb, fruity, floral, and woody, which are highly preferred to realize a natural herbal scent, is oriented. Fragrance ingredients with a red odor were selected mainly. Unless otherwise stated in the specification, the content is in wt%.

Examples 2-3. Preparation of a fragrance composition with high biodegradability

Even if the biodegradability is high, preference is also an important factor to be considered for the functionality of the fragrance. In the case of the perfume composition prepared in Example 1, although it showed a generally positive preference with a nature-friendly feeling, there was an opinion that the fragrance did not blend smoothly and a specific fragrance was splattered. Therefore, in order to solve this problem, a method for improving the palatability of fragrance and the natural/luxury feeling was sought.

In order to reduce chemical odors from synthetic raw materials and to gently round the fragrance composition, raw materials were screened from among natural fragrances, and the key ingredients for blending natural fragrances were selected and redesigned to match Example 1 and give a luxurious feel. did The natural fragrance formulation key ingredient was used in an additional 2% based on the total weight of the fragrance composition. Specifically, to add a refreshing herbal feel, grapefruit oil, which is a citrus type, which gives a refreshing feeling, geranium oil, which is a fresh flower type, and a rustic herbal type, Clary Sage By selecting a clear sage oil, Examples 2 and 3 were prepared with the composition and content of Table 3, respectively.

In the composition of Example 2, 1% of Clary Sage Oil was applied to emphasize the feeling of herbs, but the characteristic rustic feeling was strong and dominant. In order to secure this, in the case of the composition of Example 3, the fresh smell from the citrus peel was improved by reducing the content of clary sage oil and increasing the proportion of grapefruit oil.

[Comparative example]

Comparative Examples 1-2. Preparation of perfume composition

A perfume composition was prepared with the composition and content of Table 3 above.

As a result, Comparative Examples 1 and 2 had a stinging smell of hash green due to cis-3-Hexaneol and 3-hexen-1-yl methyl carbonate.

[Experimental example]

Fragrance Satisfaction Evaluation of Biodegradable Perfume Composition

The fragrance satisfaction of the fragrance composition was evaluated by confirming whether it felt natural / eco-friendly as a biodegradable fragrance composition. Specifically, the fragrance compositions prepared in Comparative Examples 1-2 and Examples 1-3 were evaluated by a 5-point evaluation method according to Table 4 below for 20 general women aged 20-45 years (average age: 31.4 years). and the results are shown in Table 5.

score Do you feel natural / eco-friendly? 5 It feels very eco-friendly. 4 Feels a bit eco-friendly. 3 so so 2 Feels a little chemical One Feels very chemical

As a result, in the case of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 prepared only with synthetic fragrances, there were many opinions that they had a chemical feeling. Specifically, there were many opinions that the synthetic raw materials did not harmonize and that a lot of hash green flavor was felt.

On the other hand, in the case of Example 1, in which the green fragrance was reduced and the cozy flower and wood-based fragrance ingredients were upwardly adjusted, it felt relatively fresh, and the opinion on the chemical feeling was also low. However, there were still opinions that the feeling comes from synthetic fragrances and that certain chemical ingredients seem to be splashing. On the other hand, in the case of Examples 2 and 3, in which three types of natural fragrances were selected and added, the response that they felt natural / eco-friendly increased. In particular, the composition of Example 3 having a high content of grapefruit oil among the three selected natural fragrances had a higher score for natural feeling than the composition of Example 2 having a high content of clary sage oil. That is, the perfume composition according to one aspect may induce an eco-friendly fragrance by additionally including a natural fragrance in a synthetic raw material with a high degree of biodegradability.

Fragrance preference evaluation of biodegradable perfume composition

According to Table 6 below, in the same manner as above, the flavor preference of the perfume composition was evaluated, and the results are shown in Table 7.

score preference 5 very good 4 a little good 3 so so 2 a little bad One not very good

As a result, in the case of Comparative Examples 1 and 2 in which only synthetic raw materials were combined, very low satisfaction was shown. Example 1, in which the feeling of hash green was relatively reduced and the soft floral scent was reinforced, showed a positive preference. However, there was a harsh chemical odor from synthetic raw materials, so high preference was not elicited.

On the other hand, in the case of Examples 2 and 3 containing the natural fragrance grapefruit oil, geranium oil, and/or clayey sage oil, it was confirmed that the preference increased as the natural feeling of the fragrance increased. In particular, in the case of Example 3, in which the content of grapefruit oil was increased, it was confirmed that the preference was highest because it gave a more refreshing feeling.

Therefore, the perfume composition according to an aspect includes a readily biodegradable synthetic perfume and a natural perfume component, and thus not only has a high degree of biodegradability, but also induces a natural flavor and can improve consumer preference and satisfaction.

The description of the present invention described above is for illustration, and those of ordinary skill in the art to which the present invention pertains can understand that it can be easily modified into other specific forms without changing the technical spirit or essential features of the present invention. will be. Therefore, it should be understood that the embodiments described above are illustrative in all respects and not restrictive.
