Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a novel method for preparing ribonucleic acid-based microcapsules. Ribonucleic acid-based microcapsules are also one of the objectives of this invention. Fragrance compositions and consumer products containing said microcapsules, particularly fragranced consumer products in the form of home care or personal care products, are also part of this invention. Background Technology
[0002] One of the challenges facing the fragrance industry is that the olfactory benefits offered by scented compounds, particularly the "top notes," are lost relatively quickly due to their volatility. To mitigate the release rate of these volatiles, delivery systems, such as fragrance-containing microcapsules, are needed to protect and release the core payload upon triggering. A key requirement for these systems is their ability to remain suspended in challenging base materials without physical decomposition or degradation. This is known as the stability of the delivery system. For example, the stability of microcapsules is particularly challenging for aromatic personal and household cleaners containing detergents with high levels of aggressive surfactants.
[0003] Polyurea and polyurethane-based microcapsule slurries are widely used in industries such as fragrance because they provide a lasting and pleasant olfactory effect when coated on various substrates. These microcapsules are extensively disclosed in the prior art.
[0004] In addition to performance in terms of stability and olfactory capabilities, consumer demand for eco-friendly delivery systems is becoming increasingly important and is driving the development of new delivery systems.
[0005] Therefore, there remains a need to provide novel microcapsules using more eco-friendly materials without compromising their performance, particularly in terms of stability in challenging media such as consumer product bases, and in terms of delivering good olfactory performance in the case of active ingredient delivery, such as in the case of flavored ingredients.
[0006] This invention provides a solution to the above-mentioned problems by providing ribonucleic acid-based microcapsules and a method for preparing said microcapsules. Summary of the Invention
[0007] This invention relates to a delivery system comprising a hydrophobic material and a carrier, wherein the carrier comprises ribonucleic acid (RNA).
[0008] This invention relates to a method for preparing a delivery system, comprising the following steps:
[0009] - The oil phase containing hydrophobic materials is dispersed into the dispersed phase to obtain a two-phase dispersion.
[0010] - A curing step is performed to obtain the delivery system.
[0011] Ribonucleic acid is added to the oil phase and / or the dispersed phase and / or the two-phase dispersion.
[0012] This invention also relates to flavored consumer products and flavored edible products comprising microcapsules as defined above. Detailed Implementation
[0013] Unless otherwise stated, percentages (%) refer to the weight percentage of the composition.
[0014] "Active ingredient" refers to a single compound or a combination of multiple components.
[0015] "Flavor oil or flavor (seasoning) oil" refers to a single flavoring or flavoring compound, or a mixture of several flavoring or flavoring compounds.

The multifunctional monomers of this invention have at least two functional groups capable of reacting or combining with functional groups of another component and / or capable of polymerizing to form a polymer shell.
[0026] Delivery system
[0027] The first object of the present invention is a delivery system comprising a hydrophobic material and a carrier, wherein the carrier comprises ribonucleic acid (RNA).
[0028] carrier
[0029] The carrier or carrier material, as understood in this paper, is a carrier material suitable for entrapping, encapsulating, or retaining a certain amount of hydrophobic material.
[0030] Typically, when the delivery system is in matrix form, the carrier material is the matrix material, and based on the total weight of the delivery system, the delivery system must embed preferably at least 20% by weight, preferably at least 30% by weight, and more preferably at least 35% by weight of a hydrophobic material.
[0031] Typically, when the delivery system is a core-shell microcapsule, the carrier is the shell, and based on the total weight of the delivery system, the delivery system must be embedded with preferably at least 80% by weight, preferably at least 90% by weight, of a hydrophobic material.
[0032] In one particular implementation, the carrier or carrier material is a solid carrier material, i.e., the emulsion or solvent is not a carrier or carrier material.
[0033] In one particular embodiment, the delivery system is a core-shell microcapsule, or the delivery system is in matrix form (i.e., oil embedded in a polymer matrix, such as a monomer, oligomer, or polymeric carrier matrix), preferably wherein the delivery system is a core-shell microcapsule.
[0034] For clarity, it should be understood that when the delivery system is a core-shell microcapsule, the hydrophobic material is contained within a core encapsulated or embedded in the shell. When the delivery system is in matrix form, the hydrophobic material is embedded in the carrier matrix (e.g., monomeric, oligomeric, or polymeric carrier matrix) by adsorption within the matrix.
[0035] The carrier material is preferably present in an amount of 25 to 80% by weight, more preferably 30 to 60% by weight, and even more preferably 40 to 55% by weight (based on the total weight of the delivery system).
[0036] If the delivery system is a core-shell microcapsule, then this should be understood as the flavoring compound being contained within a core enclosed in the shell of the microcapsule.
[0037] The shell of the microcapsules of this invention can have different properties.
[0038] As a non-limiting example, the shell may comprise materials selected from the group consisting of polyurea, polyurethane, polyamide, polyester, polyhydroxyalkanoate, polyurethane, polyepoxide, polyacrylate, polysiloxane, polycarbonate, polysulfonamide, poly(β-amino ester), polylactic acid, poly(thiol-acrylate), polymers of urea and formaldehyde, polymers of melamine and formaldehyde, polymers of melamine and urea, or polymers of melamine and glyoxal, gelatin / gum arabic shell walls, and mixtures thereof.
[0039] According to one particular implementation scheme, the carrier (especially the shell of the microcapsule) is solidified.
[0040] In a first specific embodiment of the core-shell microcapsule, the core-shell microcapsule comprises a cohesive shell, preferably comprising ribonucleic acid (RNA) and an amino compound.
[0041] According to one embodiment, the delivery system is a core-shell microcapsule comprising:

[0047] In one particular implementation, the carrier (shell or matrix material) contains a biodegradable material.
[0048] In one particular embodiment, the carrier has a biodegradability of at least 40% within 60 days according to OECD301F, preferably at least 45%, 50%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 98%.
[0049] In one particular implementation, the delivery system is biodegradable within 60 days according to OECD 301F at a rate of at least 40%, preferably at least 45%, 50%, 60%, 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 98%.
[0050] Therefore, it should be understood that the biodegradability of the delivery system, including all components such as the core, shell and optional coating, within 60 days according to OECD 301F can be at least 40%, preferably at least 60%, preferably at least 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95% or 98%.
[0051] In one particular embodiment, the oil core, preferably a flavoring oil, has a biodegradability of at least 40%, preferably at least 60%, preferably at least 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 98% within 60 days according to OECD 301F.
[0052] OECD 301F is the standard test method of the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development for biodegradability.
[0053] Gasparini et al. in Molecules 2020, 25, 718 disclose a typical method for extracting shells to measure biodegradability.
[0054] RNA
[0055] According to the present invention, the delivery system contains RNA (ribonucleic acid). The RNA is available from commercial sources.

[0057] Hydrophobic materials
[0058] According to one implementation scheme, the core is an oil-based core.
[0059] The hydrophobic material according to the present invention can be an "inert" material, such as a solvent or active ingredient.
[0060] The term "hydrophobic material" refers to any hydrophobic material that can form a two-phase dispersion when mixed with water. Hydrophobic materials are typically liquid at around 20°C.
[0061] According to one implementation scheme, the hydrophobic material is the hydrophobic active ingredient.
[0062] When hydrophobic materials are active ingredients, they are preferably selected from the group consisting of flavors, flavoring ingredients, fragrances, flavoring ingredients, nutritional supplements, cosmetics, pest control agents, biocidal active ingredients, and mixtures thereof.
[0063] According to one particular implementation, the hydrophobic material includes a phase change material (PCM).

[0067] According to one particular implementation, the hydrophobic material contains fragrance.
[0068] According to one particular implementation scheme, the hydrophobic material is composed of fragrance.
[0069] According to one specific implementation scheme, the hydrophobic material is composed of a biocide active ingredient.
[0070] According to a specific implementation scheme, the hydrophobic material is composed of a pest control agent.
[0071] The term "fragrance" (or "fragrant oil") refers herein to an ingredient or composition that is liquid at about 20°C. According to any of the above embodiments, the fragrant oil may be a single fragrance ingredient or a mixture of multiple ingredients in the form of a fragrant composition. As a "fragrant ingredient," it refers herein to a compound whose primary purpose is to impart or modify an odor. In other words, for an ingredient to be considered a fragrance ingredient, it must be recognized by those skilled in the art as capable of imparting or modifying an odor to the composition, at least in an active or pleasant manner, and not merely having an odor. For the purposes of this invention, the fragrant oil also includes combinations of the fragrance ingredient with substances that jointly improve, enhance, or modify the delivery of the fragrance ingredient, such as fragrance precursors, modifiers, emulsions, or dispersions, and combinations that impart benefits other than altering or imparting an odor, such as persistence, bursting, odor neutralization, antimicrobial effects, microbial stability, and pest control.
[0072] The nature and type of flavoring components present in the oil phase are not guaranteed to be described in greater detail here, and it is impossible to be exhaustive in any way. Those skilled in the art can select them based on their general knowledge and according to the intended use or application and the desired sensory effect. Generally, these flavoring components belong to different chemical categories, such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, ethers, acetates, nitriles, terpenes, nitrogen- or sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds, and essential oils (e.g., thyme oil), and the flavoring auxiliaries may be of natural or synthetic origin. In any case, many of these auxiliaries are listed in references such as S.

[0102] Preferably, the flavoring contains at least 30%, more preferably at least 50%, and more preferably at least 60% of the ingredients selected from groups 1 to 7 as defined above. More preferably, the flavoring contains at least 30%, more preferably at least 50% of the ingredients selected from groups 3 to 7 as defined above. Most preferably, the flavoring contains at least 30%, more preferably at least 50% of the ingredients selected from groups 3, 4, 6, or 7 as defined above.

[0104] According to one particular embodiment, the fragrance used in this invention contains less than 10% by its own weight of primary alcohol, less than 15% by its own weight of secondary alcohol, and less than 20% by its own weight of tertiary alcohol. Advantageously, the fragrance used in this invention contains no primary alcohol, but contains less than 15% of secondary and tertiary alcohols.
[0105] According to one embodiment, the oil phase (or oil-based core) comprises:
[0106] - 25~100% by weight of fragrance oil, containing at least 15% by weight of high-impact fragrance ingredients with Log T <-4, and
[0107] - 0~75% by weight of density equilibrium material with a density greater than 1.07 g / cm³ 3 .
[0108] "High-impact flavoring raw materials" should be understood as flavoring raw materials with Log T < -4. The odor threshold concentration of a chemical compound is determined in part by its shape, polarity, partial charge, and molecular weight. For convenience, the odor threshold concentration is expressed as the commonly used logarithm of the threshold concentration, i.e., Log[threshold] ("LogT").
[0109] "Density equilibrium material" should be understood as having a density greater than 1.07 g / cm³. 3 Furthermore, materials with low or no odor are preferred.
[0110] The odor threshold concentration of the flavoring compound was determined using gas chromatography (“GC”). Specifically, the GC was calibrated to determine the precise volume, precise split ratio, and hydrocarbon response of the flavoring oil component injected by the syringe using hydrocarbon standards with known concentrations and chain length distributions. The airflow rate was accurately measured, and the sampling volume was calculated assuming a duration of 12 seconds for human inhalation. Since the precise concentration at the detector at any given time point was known, the mass per volume inhaled was known, and therefore the concentration of the flavoring compound was known. To determine the threshold concentration, the solution was delivered to the olfactory port at a back-calculated concentration. Panel members sniffed the GC effluent and determined the retention time at which the odor was detected. The average of all panel members determined the odor threshold concentration of the flavoring compound. The determination of the odor threshold is described in more detail in C. Vuilleumier et al., Multidimensional Visualization of Physical and Perceptual Data Leading to a Creative Approach in Fragrance Development, Perfume & Flavorist, Vol. 33, September, 2008, pages 54-61.
[0111] WO2018115250 describes high-impact flavoring raw materials with Log T < -4 and those with greater than 1.07 g / cm³. 3 The density of the material is a property of the density equilibrium, the contents of which are included by reference.

[0118] According to one embodiment, the core comprises a flavoring compound, the flavoring compound comprising:
[0119] - 0 to 60% by weight of hydrophobic solvents (based on the total weight of the flavoring compound).
[0120] - 40 to 100% by weight of spice oil (based on the total weight of the spice blend), wherein the spice oil has at least two of the following properties, preferably all of the following properties:

[0124] - Optionally, additional hydrophobic active ingredients.
[0125] According to one particular implementation, the fragrance contains 0 to 60% by weight of a hydrophobic solvent.
[0126] According to a particular embodiment, the hydrophobic solvent is a density-balanced material, preferably selected from the group consisting of benzyl salicylate, benzyl benzoate, cyclohexyl salicylate, methyl phenylacetate, ethyl phenylacetate, triacetyl glycerol, ethyl citrate, methyl and ethyl salicylate, benzyl cinnamate, and mixtures thereof.
[0127] In one particular embodiment, the hydrophobic solvent has a Hansen solubility parameter that is compatible with the embedded fragrance oil.
[0128] The term "Hansen solubility parameter" is understood to refer to the solubility parameter method proposed by Charles Hansen for predicting polymer solubility, and is developed based on the premise that the total vaporization energy of a liquid is composed of several separate components. To calculate the "weighted Hansen solubility parameter," the effects of (atomic) dispersion forces, (molecular) permanent dipole-permanent dipole forces, and (molecular) hydrogen bonding (electron exchange) must be considered. The "weighted Hansen solubility parameter" is calculated as (δD... 2 +δP 2 +δH 2 ) 0.5 δD is the Hansen dispersion value (hereinafter also called atomic dispersion force), δP is the Hansen polarizability value (hereinafter also called dipole moment), and δH is the Hansen hydrogen bond (“h-bond”) value (hereinafter also called hydrogen bond). For a more detailed explanation of this parameter and its value, please refer to Charles Hansen’s The Three Dimensional Solubility Parameter and Solvent Diffusion Coefficient, Danish Technical Press (Copenhagen, 1967).
[0129] The Euclidean difference in the solubility parameters of the fragrance and the solvent is calculated as (4*(δD)). solvent -δD fragrance ) 2 +(δP solvent -δP fragrance ) 2 + (δH solvent -δH fragrance ) 2 ) 0.5 , where δD solvent δP solvent and δH solvent These represent the Hansen dispersion value, Hansen polarizability value, and Hansen hydrogen bond value of the solvent, respectively; while δD fragrance δ fragrance and δH fragrance These are the Hansen dispersion value, Hansen polarizability value, and Hansen hydrogen bond value of the fragrance, respectively.
[0130] In one particular embodiment, the fragrance oil and the hydrophobic solvent have at least two Hansen solubility parameters selected from a first group consisting of: an atomic dispersion force (δD) of 12 to 20, a dipole moment (δP) of 1 to 8, and a hydrogen bond (δH) of 2.5 to 11.
[0131] In one particular embodiment, the fragrance oil and the hydrophobic solvent have at least two Hansen solubility parameters selected from a second group consisting of: an atomic dispersion force (δD) of 12 to 20, preferably 14 to 20, a dipole moment (δP) of 1 to 8, preferably 1 to 7, and a hydrogen bond (δH) of 2.5 to 11, preferably 4 to 11.
[0132] In one particular embodiment, at least 90% of the fragrance oil, preferably at least 95% of the fragrance oil, and most preferably at least 98% of the fragrance oil, have at least two Hansen solubility parameters selected from a first group consisting of: an atomic dispersion force (δD) of 12 to 20, a dipole moment (δP) of 1 to 8, and a hydrogen bond (δH) of 2.5 to 11.
[0133] In one particular embodiment, the fragrance oil and the hydrophobic solvent have at least two Hansen solubility parameters selected from a second group consisting of: an atomic dispersion force (δD) of 12 to 20, preferably 14 to 20, a dipole moment (δP) of 1 to 8, preferably 1 to 7, and a hydrogen bond (δH) of 2.5 to 11, preferably 4 to 11.
[0134] According to one embodiment, the fragrance formulation includes a fragrance modifier (which can be used with a hydrophobic solvent when it is present, or as a substitute for a hydrophobic solvent when it is absent).
