• Table 1 Storage stability in liquid detergents, fabric softener and shampoo bases
• a mixed load of fabric containing 4 cotton terry towels was rinsed with the fabric conditioner preparations described above (35 g).
• the washed towels were assessed wet (T 0 ) and after 24 hours line drying at room temperature for fragrance intensity by a panel experienced evaluators.
• the coded towels were assessed blind. The intensity was indicated according to the following scale: 0 (odorless), 2 (very weak), 4 (weak), 6 (medium), 8 (strong), 10 (very strong). The results are given in Table 3 below.
• the compounds of formula (I) showed higher odour scores on dry clothes compared to the free aldehydes/ketones, thereby demonstrating a desired controlled release effect. Furthermore, several towels were reassessed after 7 days and a further increase in fragrance intensity was noted for some of them.
• the compounds of the present invention showed higher odour scores on dry clothes after 24 hours and one week respectively compared to the free aldehyde / ketone, thereby demonstrating a desired controlled release effect. Almost all the performance of the raw materials was lost on storage, whereas the compounds of formula (I) largely maintained its level of performance.
