Release agent for scented additives

Abstract

A multifunctional vessel which includes a moisture control material containing a scented additive placed within the vessel. The moisture control material preferably comprises silica gel or bentonite clay into which a scented additive has been absorbed. The moisture control material containing the scented additive can be placed in a separate canister or sachet within the vessel. The moisture control material with scented additive regulates the relative humidity within the vessel while giving off the odor of the scented additive.

Description

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION[0001]One embodiment of the invention relates to multifunctional vessels, such as pharmaceutical or neutraceutical vessels, containing a release agent for a scented material, which may be placed within or secured within the multifunctional vessel. Another embodiment of the invention relates to vessels for holding commercial products that require the maintenance of a relatively low humidity level within the vessel, and can be enhanced by the presence of a particular scent within the vessel. Another embodiment is a vessel for holding commercial products containing a release agent for scenting which assists in maintaining a low moisture level within the vessel and also contains a method for determining when the moisture level within the vessel exceeds a predetermined level. A further embodiment is a packet containing a release agent for scenting placed or secured in a room in a residential or commercial facility, which assists in maintaining a low moisture level ...

Problems solved by technology

Some products which are packaged in conventional vessels, such as conventional glass or plastic bottles, have an unpleasant and / or unappetizing odor.

In current practice, the odor of these products may escape from the vessel, thereby creating an unpleasant environment.

The use of scented oils with selected plastic materials is known for certain limited applications.

In addition, some products degrade when they are exposed to gases, such as oxygen or ethylene, for extended periods of time.

Reduced levels of those gases within the vessels for those products may be difficult to maintain once the vessel has been opened.

Further, incorporation of a scent imparting material as a component of a multifunctional vessel or packet for use within vessels that also requires the retention of a relatively low humidity has not been disclosed.
