Description

[0001] BLOOMING COEFFICIENT

[0002] The invention relates to a perfume composition comprising at least one fragrance with a blooming coefficient (Bc) of >0.5. The invention further relates to washing or cleaning agents comprising the perfume composition according to the invention and to the use of the compositions or agents according to the invention for washing textiles or for cleaning surfaces and / or for perfuming the room in which the composition or agent is used. The invention further relates to a method for washing textiles or cleaning surfaces and / or for perfuming the room in which the method is carried out, wherein a perfume composition according to the invention or a washing or cleaning agent according to the invention is used in at least one method step.

[0003] When using detergents or cleaning products, consumers expect not only a long-lasting odor after applying the product to a surface, e.g., a textile, but also a room-filling perfume effect during or after application. This can be, for example, a room-filling effect when drying textiles on the line, when opening the washing machine after a wash cycle, or even the room-filling effect after cleaning floors.

[0004] This room-filling (perfume) effect is also called the blooming effect and is defined by an improved perception and intensity of perfumes in the room during or after the use of products containing this perfume.

[0005] Surprisingly, it was discovered that fragrances with a specific blooming coefficient can influence the room-filling effect of a perfume composition. This effect can be significantly enhanced by considering specific concentrations of these fragrances in the perfume composition. This effect can be observed both during and after application.

[0006] Thus, a first aspect of the invention relates to a perfume composition comprising at least one fragrance having a blooming coefficient (Bc) of >0.5, wherein the blooming coefficient is calculated according to the following formula:

[0007] Blooming coefficient (Bc) = vapor pressure [Pa] at 25°C / odor threshold [pg / m 3 ].

[0008] The perfume composition preferably contains the at least one fragrance with a blooming coefficient of >0.5 in a concentration of at least 1 wt.%, more preferably at least 5 wt.%, even more preferably at least 10 wt.%, even more preferably at least 15 wt.%, even more preferably at least 20 wt.%, and in particular at least 25 wt.%, based on the total weight of the perfume composition. A further aspect of the invention relates to a washing or cleaning agent comprising a perfume composition according to the invention.

[0009] Furthermore, in a further aspect, the invention relates to the use of the perfume composition according to the invention or the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention

[0010] (i) for washing textiles and / or for scenting the room in which the composition or agent is used; or

[0011] (ii) for cleaning surfaces and / or for scenting the room in which the composition or agent is used.

[0012] The invention preferably relates to the use of the perfume composition according to the invention or the washing or cleaning agent according to the invention for washing textiles or for cleaning surfaces and at the same time for scenting the room in which the composition or agent is used.

[0013] Finally, the invention relates to a method

[0014] (i) for washing textiles and / or for scenting the room in which the process is carried out; or

[0015] (ii) for cleaning surfaces and / or for scenting the room in which the method is carried out; characterized in that a perfume composition according to the invention or a washing or cleaning agent according to the invention is used in at least one method step.

[0016] The invention preferably relates to a method for washing textiles or for cleaning surfaces and at the same time for scenting the room in which the method is carried out, characterized in that a perfume composition according to the invention or a washing or cleaning agent according to the invention is used in at least one method step.

[0017] These and other aspects, features, and advantages of the invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art from a study of the following detailed description and claims. Any feature of one aspect of the invention may be employed in any other aspect of the invention. Furthermore, it is to be understood that the examples contained herein are intended to describe and illustrate the invention, but not to limit it, and in particular, the invention is not limited to these examples.

[0018] All percentages are by weight unless otherwise stated. Numerical ranges expressed in the format "from x to y" include the stated values. If multiple preferred numerical ranges are specified in this format, it is understood that all ranges resulting from the combination of the various endpoints are also included.

[0019] Numerical values ​​stated without decimal places refer to the full specified value with one decimal place. For example, "99%" stands for "99.0%."

[0020] Whenever reference is made to molar masses, these figures always refer to the number-average molar mass M n, unless explicitly stated otherwise. The number-average molar mass can be determined, for example, by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) according to DIN 55672-1:2007-08 using THF as eluent. The mass-average molar mass Mw can also be determined by GPC, as for M n described.

[0021] The expression “essentially free of” means that the respective component can in principle be present in the composition or agent according to the invention, but is then present in an amount which is significantly below the amount customarily required or used for the function of this component. In the context of the present invention, the property “essentially free of” a specific component is therefore preferably regarded as a total amount of less than 1% by weight, more preferably less than 0.1% by weight, even more preferably less than 0.01% by weight, even more preferably less than 0.001% by weight, in particular free, i.e. below the detection limit, of this, based on the total weight of the composition or agent. It can also mean that the corresponding component was not deliberately added.

[0022] In the context of the present invention, the term “perfume” or “perfume composition” refers to individual fragrance or perfume compounds or mixtures of several such compounds, and thus includes, for example, synthetic products of the ester, ether, aldehyde, ketone, alcohol and hydrocarbon type, as well as natural fragrance mixtures such as those obtainable from plant sources.

[0023] The smell of an odorant / fragrance is perceived as pleasant by most people and often corresponds to the smell of, for example, flowers, fruits, spices, bark, resin, leaves, grasses, mosses, and roots. Thus, odorants / fragrances can also be used to mask unpleasant odors or to impart a desired scent to a non-odorous substance.

[0024] “At least one,” as used herein, includes, but is not limited to, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and more. When referring to an ingredient, the statement refers to the type of ingredient and not to the absolute number of molecules. “At least one fragrance substance” thus means, for example, at least one type of fragrance substance, i.e., one type of fragrance substance or a mixture of several different fragrance substances can be meant. Together with weight information, the statement refers to all compounds of the specified type that are contained in the composition / mixture, i.e., the composition does not contain any further compounds of this type beyond the specified amount of the corresponding compounds.

[0025] According to the invention, the perfume composition described in more detail below is characterized in that the perfume composition comprises at least 15% by weight of at least one fragrance with a blooming coefficient (Bc) of >0.5, wherein the blooming coefficient is calculated according to the following formula:

[0026] Blooming coefficient (Bc) = vapor pressure [Pa] at 25°C / odor threshold [pg / m 3 ].

[0027] To achieve a blooming effect, a sufficient number of odorant molecules must be present in the room, and these molecules must be above the odor threshold. Thus, the vapor pressure required to generate a blooming effect is directly related to the odor threshold of each individual odorant.

[0028] The vapor pressure of the fragrance at 25°C (VP25°) is specified in Pascals in the context of this invention unless otherwise stated. It is a substance- and temperature-dependent gas pressure and describes the ambient pressure below which a liquid begins to transition to the gaseous state at a constant temperature.

[0029] The vapor pressure of known odorants at 25 °C can be found in the literature. Furthermore, any suitable measurement method can be used to determine the vapor pressure.Examples of measurement methods include, but are not limited to, the dynamic measurement method, in which the boiling point of the test substance is measured at a certain predetermined pressure; the statistical measurement method, in which the vapor pressure is measured that arises over a substance in thermodynamic equilibrium in a closed system at a given temperature; the effusion method, in which the amount of substance leaving a measuring cell per unit time through an opening of known size is determined under vacuum conditions in such a way that a return of the substance into the measuring cell can be neglected; or the gas saturation method, in which a stream of an inert gas is passed over the test substance in such a way that it becomes saturated with its vapor, whereby the amount of substance transported by a known amount of carrier gas can be measured either by collection in a suitable trap or by an online analysis method.The measurement methods must be selected according to the level of the expected vapor pressure.

[0030] The odor threshold (GSW or ODT) describes the minimum concentration of a gaseous, sensory-active substance, such as an odorant, that a living being, such as a human, can just barely perceive through the sense of smell. In the context of this invention, this value is expressed in pg / m³. 3 unless otherwise stated. The odor threshold can be obtained either from the literature or, for example, but not limited to, determined by olfactometry, in which the odor sample is mixed with odorless clean air and presented to several test subjects. Defined dilution levels of the odor sample are maintained.

[0031] The blooming coefficient (Bc) can be calculated from the vapor pressure [Pa] of the odorant at 25°C (VP25°) and the odor threshold [pg / m3 ] of the odorant (ODT) can be calculated using the formula given above.

[0032] The perfume composition according to the invention can comprise a single fragrance with a blooming coefficient of >0.5 or a mixture of two or more fragrances, for example 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 or more fragrances, each having a blooming coefficient of >0.5. In various embodiments, the composition can additionally comprise other fragrances having a blooming coefficient below 0.5.

If two or more fragrances are present in the perfume composition, the blooming coefficients can be (almost) the same or differ little or greatly.

[0036] In various embodiments of the invention, the proportion of fragrances with a blooming coefficient of <0.5 is a maximum of 50 wt.% based on the total weight of the perfume compositions, for example a maximum of 40 wt.%, a maximum of 35 wt.%, a maximum of 30 wt.%, a maximum of 25 wt.%, a maximum of 20 wt.%, a maximum of 15 wt.% or a maximum of 10 wt.%.

[0046] In the context of the present invention, individual fragrances of the perfume composition according to the invention can be present in free form, as fragrance storage substances, or in encapsulated form, without being limited thereto. Furthermore, the fragrances can be applied to specific carrier molecules. However, free fragrances are particularly preferred. In a further aspect, the invention relates to a washing or cleaning agent comprising the perfume composition according to the invention.

[0047] The subject matter of the invention encompasses all conceivable types of washing or cleaning agents, both concentrated and undiluted, for use on a commercial scale, in washing machines, or for hand washing or cleaning. These include, for example, detergents for textiles, carpets, or natural fibers, for which the term "detergent" is used. This also includes, for example, dishwashing detergents for dishwashers or manual dishwashing detergents or cleaners for hard surfaces such as metal, glass, porcelain, ceramics, tiles, stone, painted surfaces, plastics, wood, or leather, for which the term "cleaning agent" is used. This means, in addition to manual and automatic dishwashing detergents, scouring agents, glass cleaners, toilet air fresheners, etc.The washing or cleaning agents within the scope of the invention also include washing aids that are added to the actual washing agent during manual or machine washing to achieve an additional effect. Furthermore, the washing or cleaning agents within the scope of the invention also include textile pre- and post-treatment agents, i.e. agents with which the laundry is brought into contact before the actual washing, for example, to dissolve stubborn soils, and also agents that impart further desirable properties to the laundry in a step following the actual textile washing, such as a pleasant feel, resistance to creasing, or low static charge. The latter agents include, among others, fabric softeners.

[0048] In preferred embodiments, the perfume composition according to the invention is used in the washing or cleaning agent in an amount of 0.001 to 30 wt.%, preferably 0.01 to 20 wt.%, more preferably 0.1 to 10 wt.%, in particular 0.5 to 5 wt.%, for example 1 wt.%, based on the total weight of the washing or cleaning agent.

[0049] The washing or cleaning agent described herein may be solid or liquid. However, the washing or cleaning agents according to the invention are preferably liquid in nature and can, in particular, be present as homogeneous solutions or suspensions.

[0050] "Liquid," as used herein, includes liquids and gels, as well as pasty compositions. It is preferred that the liquid compositions be flowable and pourable at room temperature, but it is also possible that they have a yield point.

[0051] “Solid” in this context means that the composition is present as a solid under standard conditions, in particular as a powder or granulate or compact.

Such water-miscible solvents are preferably present in the agents in amounts not exceeding 30% by weight, in particular from 6% by weight to 20% by weight. The organic solvents used are particularly preferably miscible with water.

Amylases and / or proteases are preferably used. Additionally, the agents may contain enzyme stabilizers or inhibitors.

[0072] In various embodiments, the composition or agent according to the invention is phosphate-free and / or phosphonate-free. "Phosphate-free" and "phosphonate-free," as used herein, mean that the composition in question is substantially free of phosphates or phosphonates, respectively, i.e., in particular, it contains phosphates or phosphonates in amounts of less than 0.1 wt.%, preferably less than 0.01 wt.%, based on the respective composition or agent.

[0073] In general, the pH of the compositions or agents can be adjusted using conventional pH regulators. Acids and / or alkalis, preferably alkalis, serve as pH adjusters. Suitable acids include, in particular, organic acids such as acetic acid, citric acid, glycolic acid, lactic acid, succinic acid, adipic acid, malic acid, tartaric acid, and gluconic acid, or even amidosulfonic acid. In addition, the mineral acids hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, and nitric acid, or mixtures thereof, can also be used. Suitable bases come from the group of alkali and alkaline earth metal hydroxides and carbonates, especially alkali metal hydroxides, of which potassium hydroxide is preferred. The alkali source described above is particularly preferably used to adjust the pH.Even if volatile alkali, for example in the form of ammonia and / or alkanolamines, which can contain up to 9 C atoms in the molecule, can be used to adjust the pH, wherein the alkanolamine can be selected from the group consisting of mono-, di-, triethanolamine and -propanolamine and mixtures thereof, such volatile alkali sources, in particular ethanolamines, are preferably omitted. In various embodiments, the compositions therefore contain less than 1.75 wt.% alkanolamine, in particular monoethanolamine, and they are very preferably free thereof. It has been found that the omission of such alkanolamines increases the stability of the compositions or agents.

[0074] To adjust and / or stabilize the pH, the composition or agent according to the invention may contain one or more buffer substances (INCI buffering agents), typically in amounts of 0.001 to 5 wt.%. Buffer substances that are also complexing agents or even chelating agents (INCI chelating agents) are preferred.
