Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a new method for preparing polyamide-based microcapsules. The polyamide-based microcapsules are also the subject of the present invention. Perfumed compositions and consumer products, especially perfumed consumer products in the form of home care or personal care products, comprising said microcapsules are also part of the present invention.

[0002] 2. Background of the Invention One of the problems faced by the fragrance industry is that the olfactory benefits provided by odoriferous compounds are lost relatively quickly due to their volatility, especially the volatility of "top notes". In order to control the release rate of volatile substances, delivery systems such as perfume-containing microcapsules need to protect the core payload and release it later when triggered. A key requirement by the industry for these systems is to withstand suspension in a challenging base without physical dissociation or decomposition. This is referred to as the stability of the delivery system. For example, perfumed personal and household cleaners that contain high levels of aggressive surfactant detergents are very challenging for the stability of microcapsules.

[0003] Polyurea and polyurethane based microcapsule slurries are widely used, for example, in the perfume industry, since they provide a long-lasting pleasant olfactory effect after application on various substrates. These microcapsules have been widely disclosed in the prior art (see, for example, WO 2007 / 004166 or EP 2300146).

[0004] In addition to performance in terms of stability and olfactory performance, consumer demand for environmentally friendly delivery systems is becoming increasingly important and is driving the development of new delivery systems.

[0005] There is therefore still a need to provide new microcapsules using more environmentally friendly materials, without compromising the performance of the microcapsules in terms of stability, especially in hostile media such as consumer product bases, and also in providing good performance in terms of delivery of active ingredients, e.g. olfactory performance in the case of perfumery ingredients.

[0006] The present invention proposes a solution to the above mentioned problems by providing new polyamide-based microcapsules and a method for preparing said microcapsules.

[0007] Summary of the Invention It has now surprisingly been found that by reacting acyl chloride with at least one amino compound in the presence of carbohydrates, it is possible to obtain high performance core-shell microcapsules encapsulating hydrophobic materials.The method of the present invention therefore provides a solution to the above-mentioned problems, since it allows the preparation of microcapsules with the desired stability in a troublesome base.

[0008] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a polyamide-based core-shell microcapsule slurry, comprising the steps of: a) dissolving at least one acyl chloride in a hydrophobic material, preferably a fragrance, to form an oil phase; b) dispersing the oil phase obtained in step a) in an aqueous phase to form an oil-in-water emulsion; c) carrying out a curing step to form polyamide-based microcapsules in the form of a slurry. Including, adding a carbohydrate to the oil and / or water phase; at least one amino compound A is added to the aqueous phase prior to the formation of the oil-in-water emulsion and / or to the oil-in-water emulsion obtained after step b), It concerns the method.

[0009] In a second aspect, the present invention relates to a polyamide-based core-shell microcapsule slurry obtainable by the process defined above.

[0010] A third subject of the present invention is a polyamide-based core-shell microcapsule or a polyamide-based core-shell microcapsule slurry comprising at least one microcapsule, the microcapsule having a core comprising a hydrophobic material, preferably a fragrance, preferably an oily core; a polyamide-based shell, Acyl chlorides, Amino compounds A, ·carbohydrates, optionally an amino compound B, and Optionally a polymer, preferably a protein The shell and The polyamide-based core-shell microcapsules are

[0014] Detailed Description of the Invention Unless otherwise stated, percentages (%) are intended to refer to percentages by weight of the composition.

[0015] "Active ingredient" means a single compound or a combination of ingredients.

[0016] By "fragrance or flavor oil" is meant a single fragrance or flavoring compound or a mixture of several fragrance or flavoring compounds.

[0017] "Consumer product" or "final product" means a manufactured item that is ready for distribution, sale and use by a consumer.

[0018] For the sake of clarity, the expression "dispersion" in the present invention means a system in which particles are dispersed in a continuous phase of different composition, and specifically includes a suspension or an emulsion.

[0019] By "microcapsule" or the like in the present invention is meant a core-shell microcapsule having a particle size distribution in the micron range (e.g. mean diameter (d(v,0.5)) comprised between about 1 and 3000 microns, preferably between 1 and 500 microns) and comprising an outer solid polyamide-based shell and an inner continuous oil phase surrounded by the outer shell.

[0020] "Microcapsule slurry" means microcapsules dispersed in a liquid. According to one embodiment, the slurry is an aqueous slurry, i.e., the microcapsules are dispersed in an aqueous phase.

[0022] In the present invention, the terms "acyl chloride" and "acid chloride" are used interchangeably.

[0023] By "polyamide-based microcapsules" is meant that the shell of the microcapsule comprises a polyamide material. The term "polyamide-based microcapsules" may also include shells made of composite materials comprising a polyamide material and another material, for example a polymer (such as a protein). The term "polyamide-based microcapsules" may also include shells made of composite materials comprising a polyamide material resulting from the reaction of an acyl chloride with an amino compound, and a polyester material resulting from the reaction of a carbohydrate (OH functional group of the carbohydrate) with an acyl chloride.

[0024] "Polyamide-based microcapsules" and "polyamide microcapsules" are used interchangeably in the present invention.

[0025] It has been found that reacting an acyl chloride with at least one amino compound in the presence of a carbohydrate during the process can result in core-shell polyamide-based microcapsules with good overall performance in a troublesome base.

[0026] Method for preparing a polyamide-based microcapsule slurry In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing a polyamide-based core-shell microcapsule slurry, comprising the steps of: a) dissolving at least one acyl chloride in a hydrophobic material, preferably a fragrance, to form an oil phase; b) dispersing the oil phase obtained in step a) in an aqueous phase to form an oil-in-water emulsion; c) carrying out a curing step to form polyamide-based microcapsules in the form of a slurry; Including, adding a carbohydrate to the oil and / or water phase; at least one amino compound A is added to the aqueous phase prior to the formation of the oil-in-water emulsion and / or to the oil-in-water emulsion obtained after step b), It concerns the method.

[0027] In one step of the process, an oil phase is formed by combining at least one hydrophobic material with at least one acyl chloride.

[0040] By "perfume" (or also "perfume oil") herein is meant an ingredient or composition that is liquid at about 20°C. According to any one of the above embodiments, said perfume oil may be a perfuming ingredient alone or a mixture of ingredients in the form of a perfume composition. By "perfuming ingredient" herein is meant a compound that is used for the primary purpose of imparting or modifying an odor. In other words, such an ingredient must not only have an odor, but must be recognized by the skilled artisan as being at least capable of imparting or modifying the odor of the composition in a positive or pleasant way, in order to be considered a perfuming ingredient. For the purposes of the present invention, perfume oil also includes combinations of perfuming ingredients and any substance that together improves, enhances or modifies the delivery of the perfuming ingredient, such as perfume precursors, emulsions or dispersions, and combinations that provide additional benefits beyond modifying or imparting an odor, such as persistence, blooming, deodorization, antibacterial action, microbial stability, pest control.

[0041] The nature and type of perfume ingredients present in the oil phase do not require a more detailed description here, and are in any case not comprehensive, and those skilled in the art can select them based on their general knowledge according to the intended use or application and the desired organoleptic effect.Generally, these perfume ingredients belong to various chemical classes, such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, ethers, acetates, nitriles, terpenoids, nitrogen-containing or sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds, and essential oils, and said perfume co-ingredients can be of natural or synthetic origin.Many of these co-ingredients are described in any case in reference literature, for example in the book Perfume and Flavor Chemicals, 1969, Montclair, New Jersey, USA, by S. Arctander, or its more recent editions, or other treatises of the same kind, and in the abundant patent literature in the field of perfumery.

[0044] The perfuming ingredients can be dissolved in solvents currently used in the perfume industry. The solvent is preferably not alcohol. Examples of such solvents are diethyl phthalate, isopropyl myristate, Abalyn® (a rosin-based resin available from Eastman), benzyl benzoate, ethyl citrate, limonene or other terpenes, or isoparaffins. Preferably, the solvent is very hydrophobic and highly sterically hindered, such as Abalyn® or benzyl benzoate. Preferably, the perfume contains less than 30% solvent. More preferably, the perfume contains less than 20% and even more preferably less than 10% solvent, all these percentages being defined by weight relative to the total weight of the perfume. Most preferably, the perfume is essentially solvent-free.

[0045] According to certain embodiments, the perfume comprises a fragrance modulating agent (which can be used in addition to the hydrophobic solvent, if one is present, or in place of the hydrophobic solvent, if one is not present).

[0046] Preferably, odor control agents are defined as odoriferous materials having: - Vapor pressure of less than 0.0008 Torr at 22°C; - a clogP of 3.5 or more, preferably 4.0 or more, more preferably 4.5; - at least two Hansen solubility parameters selected from a first group consisting of atomic dispersion forces of 12 to 20, dipole moments of 1 to 7 and hydrogen bonds of 2.5 to 11; - at least two Hansen solubility parameters selected from a second group consisting of atomic dispersion forces of 14 to 20, dipole moments of 1 to 8, and hydrogen bonds of 4 to 11 in a solution with a compound having a vapor pressure range of 0.0008 to 0.08 Torr at 22 °C.

[0047] Preferably, the following ingredients may be mentioned as examples of fragrance regulators, but the list is not limited to the following materials: alcohol C12, oxacyclohexadec-12 / 13-en-2-one, 3-[(2',2',3'-trimethyl-3'-cyclopenten-1'-yl)methoxy]-2-butanol, cyclohexadecanone, (Z)-4-cyclopentadecen-1-one, cyclopentadecanone, (8Z)-oxacycloheptadec-8-en-2-one, 2-[5-(tetrahydro-5-methyl-5-vinyl-2-furyl)-tetrahydro-5-methyl-2-furyl]-2-propanol, muguetaldehyde (muguet aldehyde), 1,5,8-trimethyl-13-oxabicyclo[10.1.0]trideca-4,8-diene, (+-)-4,6,6,7,8,8-hexamethyl-1,3,4,6,7,8-hexahydrocyclopenta[g]isochromene, (+)-(1S,2S,3S,5R)-2,6,6-trimethylspiro[bicyclo[3.1.1]heptane-3,1'-cyclohexane]-2'-en-4'-one, oxacyclohexadecan-2-one, 2-{(1S)-1-[(1R)-3, 3-Dimethylcyclohexyl]ethoxy}-2-oxoethylpropionate, (+)-(4R,4aS,6R)-4,4a-dimethyl-6-(1-propen-2-yl)-4,4a,5,6,7,8-hexahydro-2(3H)-naphthalenone, amylcinnamaldehyde, hexylcinnamaldehyde, hexyl salicylate, (1E)-1-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-1,6-heptadiene-3-one, (9Z)-9-cycloheptadecen-1-one.

[0048] According to a particular embodiment, the perfume comprises at least 35% perfuming ingredients with a logP of >3.

[0049] LogP is the base 10 logarithm of the estimated octanol-water partition coefficient, known as a measure of lipophilicity.

[0050] LogP values ​​of many fragrance compounds are reported, for example, in the Pomona92 database available from Daylight Chemical Information Systems, Inc. (Daylight CIS), Irvine, Calif., which includes citations to the original literature. LogP values ​​are most conveniently calculated by the "CLOGP" program, also available from Daylight CIS. This program also lists experimental logP values ​​when available in the Pomona92 database. "Calculated logP" (cLogP) is determined by the fragment method of Hansch and Leo (see A. Leo, in Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry, Vol. 4, C. Hansch, PG Sammens, JB Taylor and CA Ramsden, Eds., p. 295, Pergamon Press, 1990). The fragment method is based on the chemical structure of each fragrance oil ingredient and takes into account the number and type of atoms, the atom connectivity, and chemical bonds. The cLogP value, being the most reliable and widely used estimate of this physicochemical property, is preferably used in the selection of odoriferous compounds useful in the present invention instead of the experimental LogP value.

[0051] In a particular embodiment, the perfume oil comprises at least 40% by weight, preferably at least 50% by weight, more preferably at least 60% by weight of components having a logP greater than 3, preferably greater than 3.5, even more preferably greater than 3.75.

[0052] Preferably, the perfume oil contains less than 10% by weight of primary alcohols, less than 15% by weight of secondary alcohols, and less than 20% by weight of tertiary alcohols. Advantageously, the perfume used in the present invention does not contain any primary alcohols and contains less than 15% by weight of secondary and tertiary alcohols.

[0053] According to a particular embodiment, the perfume comprises at least 20% by weight, preferably at least 25% by weight, more preferably at least 40% by weight of bulk materials of groups 1-6, preferably 3-6.

[0054] The term bulky material is understood here as a perfuming ingredient which has a high steric hindrance, i.e. has a substitution pattern which results in high steric hindrance; bulky materials are therefore in particular from one of the following groups: - Group 1: Perfuming ingredients comprising a cyclohexane, cyclohexene, cyclohexanone or cyclohexenone ring substituted with at least one 1-4 node containing a substituent, preferably at least one linear or branched C1-C4 alkyl or alkenyl substituent; - Group 2: Perfuming ingredients comprising a cyclopentane, cyclopentene, cyclopentanone or cyclopentenone ring substituted with at least one 4 or more nodes containing substituents, preferably at least one linear or branched C4 or higher, preferably C4-C8 alkyl or alkenyl substituent; - group 3: perfuming ingredients comprising a phenyl ring or a cyclohexane, cyclohexene, cyclohexanone or cyclohexenone ring substituted with at least one 5 or more nodes containing a substituent, preferably at least one linear or branched C5 or higher, preferably C5-C8 alkyl or alkenyl substituent, or with at least one phenyl substituent and optionally one or more 1-3 nodes containing a substituent, preferably one or more linear or branched C1-C3 alkyl or alkenyl substituents; - Group 4: Perfuming ingredients comprising at least two fused or linked 5- or 6-membered rings, preferably at least two fused or linked C5 and / or C6 rings; - Group 5: Odorous ingredients containing a camphor-like ring structure, i.e. two bridged fused 5- or 6-membered rings; - Group 6: Perfuming ingredients containing at least one 7-20 membered ring, preferably at least one C7 or C20 ring structure.

[0055] The term node as understood in this context means any atom that can provide at least two, preferably at least three, more preferably four bonds to further atoms.

Advantageously, the perfume used in the present invention does not contain any primary alcohols and contains less than 15% of secondary and tertiary alcohols.

[0060] According to one embodiment, the oil phase (or oily core) comprises: - 25-100% by weight of perfume oil containing at least 15% by weight of high impact perfume raw materials having a LogT of less than -4, and - 1.07g / cm 3 Density adjusting material with super high density 0-75% by weight Includes.

[0061] According to a particular embodiment, the oil phase (or oily core) comprises: - 25-98% by weight of perfume oil containing at least 15% by weight of high impact perfume raw materials having a LogT of less than -4, and - 1.07g / cm 3 2-75% by weight of density adjusting material with a density of Includes.

[0062] A "high impact perfume raw material" is to be understood as a perfume raw material having a LogT of less than -4. The odor threshold concentration of a chemical compound is determined in part by its shape, polarity, partial charge and molecular mass. For convenience, the threshold concentration is expressed as the base 10 logarithm of the threshold concentration, i.e., Log[Threshold] ("LogT").

[0063] The "density adjusting material" is preferably 1.07 g / cm 3and preferably low or no odor. According to one embodiment, the density adjusting material is selected in the group consisting of benzyl salicylate, benzyl benzoate, cyclohexyl salicylate, benzyl phenylacetate, phenylethyl phenoxyacetate, triacetin, methyl and ethyl salicylates, benzyl cinnamate, and mixtures thereof.

[0064] The density of a component is the ratio of its mass to its volume (g / cm 3 )

[0065] Several methods are available for determining the density of a component.

[0066] For example, reference may be made to the ISO 298:1998 method for determining the d20 density of essential oils.

[0067] The odor threshold concentration of the fragrance compound is determined using a gas chromatograph ("GC"). Specifically, the gas chromatograph is calibrated to determine the exact amount of fragrance oil component injected by syringe, the exact split ratio, and the hydrocarbon response using hydrocarbon standards of known concentration and chain length distribution. The air flow rate is precisely measured and the sampling volume is calculated, assuming a human inhalation time lasts 12 seconds. Since the exact concentration at the detector at any time is known, the mass per inhalation volume and therefore the concentration of the fragrance compound is known. To determine the threshold concentration, a solution of the back-calculated concentration is sent to a sniff port. Panelists sniff the GC eluate and identify the retention time when they notice an odor. The average of all panelists determines the odor threshold concentration of the fragrance compound. Determination of odor thresholds 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.

[0074] High impact fragrance ingredients with a LogT of less than -4 and 1.07 g / cm 3 The properties of density adjusting materials having a density of greater than 1000 nm are described in WO2018115250, the contents of which are incorporated by reference.

[0075] According to one embodiment, the core comprises: - 0 to 60% by weight of a hydrophobic solvent (based on the total weight of the fragrance formulation), - 40-100% by weight of perfume oil (based on the total weight of the perfume formulation) wherein the perfume oil has at least two, and preferably all, of the following properties: at least 35%, preferably at least 40%, preferably at least 50%, more preferably at least 60% of perfuming ingredients having a logP greater than 3, preferably greater than 3.5; at least 20%, preferably at least 25%, preferably at least 30%, more preferably at least 40% of bulky materials of groups 1 to 6, preferably 3 to 6, as defined above, and at least 15%, preferably at least 20%, more preferably at least 25%, even more preferably at least 30% of high impact perfume materials having a LogT of less than -4 as defined above; Optionally, a further hydrophobic active ingredient.

[0076] According to a particular embodiment, the perfume comprises 0-60% by weight of hydrophobic solvent.

[0077] According to a particular embodiment, the hydrophobic solvent is a density adjusting material, preferably selected in the group consisting of benzyl salicylate, benzyl benzoate, cyclohexyl salicylate, benzyl phenylacetate, phenylethyl phenylacetate, triacetin, ethyl citrate, methyl and ethyl salicylates, benzyl cinnamate, and mixtures thereof.

[0078] In certain embodiments, the hydrophobic solvent has a Hansen solubility parameter that matches the encapsulated perfume oil.

[0079] The term "Hansen Solubility Parameter" is understood to refer to the solubility parameter approach proposed by Charles Hansen, used to predict the solubility of polymers, developed on the basis that the total energy of vaporization of a liquid consists of several individual parts. To calculate the "weighted Hansen Solubility Parameter", it is necessary to combine the effects of (atomic) dispersion forces, (molecular) permanent dipole-dipole forces and (molecular) hydrogen bonding (electron exchange). The "weighted Hansen Solubility Parameter" is calculated by the weighting factor (δD 2 +δP 2 +δH 2 ) 0.5 where δD is the Hansen dispersion value (hereinafter also referred to as atomic dispersion force), δP is the Hansen polarizability value (hereinafter also referred to as dipole moment), and δH is the Hansen hydrogen bond ("h-bond") value (hereinafter also referred to as hydrogen bond). For a more detailed description of the parameters and values, see Charles Hansen, The Three Dimensional Solubility Parameter and Solvent Diffusion Coefficient, Danish Technical Press (Copenhagen, 1967).

[0080] The Euclidean difference in solubility parameters between the fragrance and the solvent is (4 × (δDsolvent – ​​δDfragrance) 2 + (δP solvent - δP fragrance) 2 + (δH solvent - δH fragrance) 2 ) 0.5 where δDsolvent, δPsolvent and δHsolvent are the Hansen dispersion, Hansen polarizability and Hansen h-bonding values ​​of the solvent, respectively, and δDfragrance, δPfragrance and δHfragrance are the Hansen dispersion, Hansen polarizability and Hansen h-bonding values ​​of the fragrance, respectively.

[0081] In certain embodiments, the perfume 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 12-20, a dipole moment (δP) of 1-8, and a hydrogen bond (δH) of 2.5-11.

[0082] In certain embodiments, the perfume 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.

[0184] The protein used in the present invention may be native or may be partially or completely denatured by any suitable method. Denaturation is the process of changing the conformational structure of a protein by unfolding, i.e., involving the destruction, and possibly degradation, of both the secondary and tertiary structure of the protein. In fact, denaturation implies that many of the weak links or bonds (e.g. hydrogen bonds) within the protein molecule that are responsible for the highly ordered structure of the protein in the native state are broken.

[0315] Weigh 2g of sample (base including capsule) into a 20mL vial. Add 10mL of extraction solvent isooctane containing a precisely known internal standard 1,4-dibromobenzene at approximately 90ng / uL concentration to the vial. Shake at 40RPM for 45 minutes to extract the free flavor. Remove the solvent phase.

A final post run is performed at 260°C to finish the measurement.

[0317] Calibration solutions are prepared at 100, 300 and 600ng / uL of fragrance oil in isooctane. It is important that the fragrance oil used to generate the calibration curve is from the same batch as that used to make the microcapsules. [Table 19]

[0318] It can be concluded that the microcapsules of the present invention show good stability in a challenging base.

[0319] Example 3 Biodegradability of the microcapsules according to the present invention Shell extraction (following the method disclosed in Gasparini and all in Molecules 2020, 25,718) The microcapsule slurry was freeze-dried. The collected solid was ground using a grinder IKA tube-mill control for 30 seconds. The resulting paste (fragrance oil + polymer shell) was suspended in 300 mL of ethyl acetate and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 1 hour. The solid was collected by vacuum filtration in a Gooch filter crucible (porosity 4). This extraction process was repeated 5 times to remove maximum fragrance oil from the shell. The powder was dried at 50°C under vacuum (10 mBar) until the weight of the polymer was constant, monitored by gravimetry. The obtained powder was ground for 1 min 30 s using a grinder IKA tube-mill control, suspended in deionized water (0.5% (w / w)) and stirred at 300 RPM for 24 hours at room temperature. The water was removed by vacuum filtration in a Gooch filter crucible (porosity 4) and the powder was dried at room temperature for 2.5 days and then at 50°C under vacuum (10 mBar) overnight. Finally, the resulting powder was ground using a grinding machine IKA tube-mill control for 1 min 30 s and extracted five more times with ethyl acetate as described above. The final powder was dried overnight at 50° C. under vacuum (10 mBar). To ensure that the total amount of fragrance was removed, samples were analyzed by GC-pyrolysis and sent for biodegradation measurement according to OECD 301F method.

[0320] The shell biodegradability of the exemplified samples was greater than 40% after 60 days of testing.

[0321] Example 4 Preparation of spray-dried microcapsules Emulsions A through E are prepared having the following components: [Table 20-1] [Table 20-2] [Table 21-1] [Table 21-2]

[0322] The ingredients of the polymer matrix (maltodextrin and capsul™, or capsul™, citric acid and tripotassium citrate) are added to 45-50°C water until completely dissolved.

[0323] For Emulsion D, Free Fragrance C is added to the water phase.

[0324] The microcapsule slurry is added to the resulting mixture, which is then gently mixed at 25° C. (room temperature).

[0325] Granular powders A-E are prepared by spray drying emulsions A-E using a Sodeva Spray Dryer (supplied from France) with the air inlet temperature set at 215° C. and the throughput set at 500 ml per hour. The air outlet temperature is 105° C. The emulsions before atomization are at room temperature.

[0326] Example 5 Liquid fragrance enhancer composition A sufficient amount of the exemplary microcapsules is weighed out and mixed into a liquid fragrance enhancer (Table 22) to add the equivalent of 0.2% perfume. [Table 22]

[0327] Prepare various ringing gel compositions according to the following protocol (Compositions 1-6).

[0328] In the first step, the aqueous phase (water), the solvent (propylene glycol), if present, and the surfactant are mixed under magnetic stirring at 300 rpm at room temperature for 5 minutes.
