Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention is in the field of perfume delivery systems. In particular, the present invention relates to a delivery system comprising a biodegradable carrier and a perfume formulation, and to a perfumed composition, as well as a perfumed consumer product comprising such a delivery system.

[0002] Background of the Invention One of the problems facing the fragrance industry is that the olfactory effect provided by fragrance compounds is lost relatively quickly due to their high volatility, especially the high volatility of "top notes." To control the release rate of volatile substances, delivery systems such as microcapsules containing active ingredients, e.g., fragrances, are needed, which protect and subsequently release the core payload when triggered. A key industry requirement for these systems is that they must withstand suspension in challenging media without physical dissociation or degradation. This is referred to as the chemical stability of the delivery system. For example, fragranced personal and household cleansers containing high levels of aggressive surfactant detergents present significant challenges for the stability of delivery systems such as microcapsules. High levels of surfactants also increase the rate at which actives diffuse out of delivery systems such as microcapsules. This leads to leakage of the active during storage and reduced impact upon release.

[0003] Another problem facing the fragrance industry is providing biodegradable delivery systems to provide ecological and sustainable fragrance compositions and scented consumer products.

[0004] Although delivery systems such as microcapsules that provide chemical stability of the delivery system are known from the prior art, there remains a need in the industry to improve biodegradability while also providing some stability of the delivery system, reducing leakage of perfume from the delivery system, and preferably providing improved impact of the perfume upon release to the consumer.

[0005] The present invention meets these and other needs in the industry.

[0006] Detailed Description of the Invention In a first aspect, the present invention relates to a delivery system comprising a biodegradable carrier and a fragrance formulation, wherein the carrier is at least 60% biodegradable within 60 days according to OECD 301F.

[0007] A delivery system is understood herein for the protection of active ingredients, in particular perfume formulations and perfumes contained within perfume formulations, and / or for the control of their release.

[0008] By carrier or carrier material, it is understood herein that the carrier material is suitable for enclosing, encapsulating or holding a certain amount of perfume formulation. To qualify as a carrier material, the carrier material must enclose, encapsulate or hold a certain amount of perfume.

[0009] Typically, when the delivery system is in matrix form, the carrier material is a matrix material and the delivery system should preferably encapsulate at least 20% by weight, preferably at least 30% by weight, and even more preferably at least 35% by weight of the perfume formulation, based on the total weight of the delivery system.

[0010] Typically, when the delivery system is in the form of a core-shell microcapsule, the carrier is the shell and the delivery system should preferably encapsulate at least 80% by weight, preferably at least 90% by weight, of the perfume formulation, based on the total weight of the delivery system.

[0011] According to one embodiment, it is understood that the carrier material does not allow leakage of more than 40%, preferably at most 35%, of the perfume formulation after 15 days at 37°C, preferably after 30 days at 37°C, preferably in a fabric softener or liquid detergent.

[0012] In certain embodiments, the carrier or carrier material is a solid carrier material, ie, an emulsion or solvent is not a carrier or carrier material.

[0013] In certain embodiments, the delivery system is a core-shell microcapsule, or the delivery system is in matrix form (i.e., an oil encapsulated in a polymer matrix, e.g., a monomeric, oligomeric, or polymeric carrier matrix), preferably, the delivery system is a core-shell microcapsule with a biodegradable shell. For clarity, when the delivery system is a core-shell microcapsule, it is understood that the perfume formulation is contained in a core that is surrounded or encapsulated by a biodegradable shell. When the delivery system is in matrix form, the perfume formulation is encapsulated in a biodegradable matrix of a carrier, such as a monomeric, oligomeric, or polymeric carrier matrix, by adsorption to the biodegradable matrix.

[0014] When the carrier is a biodegradable monomeric, oligomeric or polymeric carrier matrix, it is understood herein that the perfume formulation is encapsulated in the biodegradable monomeric, oligomeric or polymeric carrier matrix by adsorption into the biodegradable monomeric, oligomeric or polymeric carrier matrix, i.e., adsorbed into the pores of the biodegradable monomeric, oligomeric or polymeric carrier matrix.

[0015] In certain embodiments, the biodegradable carrier material comprises a biodegradable monomeric, oligomeric, or polymeric carrier material, or a mixture of two or more thereof.

[0016] An oligomeric carrier is a carrier in which 2 to 10 monomer units are covalently linked together. For example, when the oligomeric carrier is a carbohydrate, the oligomeric carrier may be sucrose, lactose, raffinose, maltose, trehalose, or a fructooligosaccharide.

[0017] Examples of monomeric carrier materials are, for example, glucose, fructose, mannose, galactose, arabinose, fucose, sorbitol, mannitol.

[0018] The polymeric carrier has 10 or more monomer units linked by covalent bonds.

[0019] In certain embodiments, the carrier may be a biodegradable polymeric carrier material. Non-limiting examples of polymeric carrier materials include polyaspartates, modified polysuccinimides, lignin and its derivatives, polyoxazolines, polyhydroxyalkanoates, polyphenols, natural and synthetic clays, polyvinyl acetates, polyvinyl alcohols, dextrins, maltodextrins, glucose syrup, natural or modified starches, polysaccharides, sugars, chitosan, gum arabic, polyethylene glycols, polyvinylpyrrolidones, polyvinyl alcohols, acrylamides, acrylates, polyacrylic acids and related substances, maleic anhydride copolymers, amine-functional polymers, Examples of suitable polymeric carrier materials include vinyl ethers, styrene, polystyrene sulfonates, vinyl acids, ethylene glycol-propylene glycol block copolymers, vegetable gums, acacia gums, pectins, xanthan gums, alginates, carrageenans, or cellulose derivatives such as carboxymethylmethylcellulose, methylcellulose, or hydroxyethylcellulose; chitin, proteins (animal and vegetable), polyaspartates, polysuccinimides and their derivatives, polyesters, polyaminoesters, polyhydroxyalkanoates, polycarbonates, and mixtures thereof. Preferably, the polymeric carrier material comprises natural or modified starch, maltodextrin, carbohydrates, chitin, proteins (animal and vegetable), polyaspartates, polysuccinimides and their derivatives, polyesters, polyaminoesters, polyhydroxyalkanoates, polycarbonates, and mixtures thereof.

[0020] The biodegradable carrier material is preferably present in an amount of 25-80% by weight, preferably 30-60% by weight, more preferably 40-55% by weight (based on the total weight of the delivery system).

[0021] In a preferred embodiment, the polymeric carrier material may further comprise a flame retardant, preferably selected from the group consisting of sodium silicate, potassium silicate, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, monoammonium phosphate or carbonate, diammonium phosphate, mono-, disodium or trisodium phosphate, sodium hypophosphite, melamine cyanurate, chlorinated hydrocarbons, talc and mixtures thereof.

[0022] When the delivery system is a core-shell microcapsule having a biodegradable shell, it is understood herein that the perfume formulation is contained in the core, which is surrounded by the biodegradable shell of the microcapsule.

[0023] The nature of the biodegradable shell of the microcapsules of the present invention can vary.

[0024] By way of non-limiting example, the biodegradable shell can comprise a material selected from the group consisting of polyurea, polyurethane, polyamide, polyhydroxyalkanoate, polyacrylate, polyester, polyaminoester, polyepoxide, polysiloxane, polycarbonate, polysulfonamide, urea formaldehyde, melamine formaldehyde resin, melamine formaldehyde resin crosslinked with polyisocyanate or aromatic polyol, melamine urea resin, melamine glioxal resin, gelatin / gum arabic shell wall, and mixtures thereof.

[0025] In a first particular embodiment of the core-shell microcapsules, the core-shell microcapsules comprise a coacervate shell.

[0026] In certain embodiments, the coacervate comprises a first polyelectrolyte and a second polyelectrolyte.

[0027] To form capsules, a monocharged first polyelectrolyte (polyelectrolyte I), preferably selected from proteins (e.g., gelatin), polypeptides, or polysaccharides (e.g., chitosan), is capable of interacting with an oppositely charged electrolyte or polyelectrolyte, thus forming a coacervate phase capable of coating hydrophobic interfaces. In a preferred embodiment, polyelectrolyte I is positively charged for pH values ​​less than 8 and optionally forms a gel or highly viscous solution in water below its gelation temperature and a low-viscosity solution in water above its melting point. Viscosity above the gelation temperature is typically less than 0.1 Pa·s, and below the gelation temperature, the gel's elastic modulus, G', is typically in the range of 0.1 to 15 kPa, as measured during the first 24 hours after gel formation using a shear rheometry-based measurement method (such method, along with definitions related to gelation temperature, is described, for example, in Parker, A. and Normand, V., Soft Matter, 6, pp. 4916-4919 (2010)). Preferably, polyelectrolyte I is a gelatin material.

[0028] The second polyelectrolyte (polyelectrolyte II) is preferably selected from among polysaccharides or another polymer having a charge of the opposite sign compared to polyelectrolyte I. Generally, polyelectrolyte II is negatively charged for pH > 2. Preferably, such polyelectrolyte is a plant gum such as, for example, alginate, cellulose derivatives guar gum, pectinate, carrageenan, polyacrylic and methacrylic acid or xanthan gum, or even acacia gum.

[0032] According to a preferred embodiment, the first polyelectrolyte is gelatin and the second polyelectrolyte is gum arabic.

[0033] According to one embodiment, the coacervate material exists as a gel. According to certain embodiments, the first material of the coacervate is a gel formed by providing conditions sufficient to induce gelation of either the first, second, or both polyelectrolytes. Gelation can be induced by lowering the temperature below the gelation temperature of one of the polyelectrolytes, as detailed above and in the literature cited in the previous section. In the case of ionically crosslinkable polyelectrolytes such as chitosan, gelation can be induced by adding an appropriate counterion, such as tripolyphosphate.

[0034] According to a preferred embodiment, the coacervate first material is chemically hardened using a suitable cross-linking agent such as glutaraldehyde, glyoxal, formaldehyde, tannic acid, or genipin. According to another preferred embodiment, the coacervate first material is enzymatically hardened using an enzyme such as transglutaminase.

[0035] According to another embodiment, the coacervate is not crosslinked.

[0036] In certain embodiments of the core-shell microcapsules, the core-shell microcapsules comprise an oily core containing a perfume formulation and a composite shell comprising a first material and a second material, the first material and the second material being different, the first material being a coacervate and the second material being a polymeric material.

[0062] In certain embodiments, the biodegradable carrier is preferably either a biodegradable shell or a biodegradable monomeric, oligomeric, or polymeric matrix material, having at least 65%, 70%, 75%, 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%, or 98% biodegradability within 60 days according to OECD 301F.

[0063] OECD301F is a standard test method for biodegradability established by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

[0064] In certain embodiments, the fragrance formulation comprises: - 0 to 60% by weight of a hydrophobic solvent (based on the total weight of the fragrance formulation), - 40 to 100% by weight of perfume oil (based on the total weight of the perfume formulation), - optionally with other active ingredients Includes:

[0065] By "perfumed formulation" is meant herein a formulation for a fine and functional perfume. In particular, perfume formulations can be prepared by combining currently used perfuming ingredients, solvents or adjuvants.

[0066] The perfuming ingredient may be dissolved in a solvent currently used in the perfume industry. The solvent is preferably not alcohol. Examples of such solvents are diethyl phthalate, isopropyl myristate, Abalyn® (rosin resin, available from Eastman), benzyl benzoate, ethyl citrate, limonene or other terpenes, or triacetin, preferably Abalyn®, benzyl benzoate, limonene or other terpenes, or isoparaffin.

[0067] Preferably, the solvent is very hydrophobic and highly sterically hindered, such as, for example, 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%, of solvent, all of which percentages are defined by weight relative to the total weight of the perfume. Most preferably, the perfume is essentially solvent-free.

[0068] According to certain embodiments, the hydrophobic solvent is preferably a density balancing material selected in the group consisting of benzyl salicylate, benzyl benzoate, cyclohexyl salicylate, benzyl phenylacetate, phenylethyl phenylacetate, triacetin, ethyl citrate, methyl and ethyl salicylate, benzyl cinnamate, and mixtures thereof.

[0069] The "density balancing material" is preferably 1.07 g / cm 3 and is preferably low-odor or odorless.

[0070] The density of a component is the ratio of its mass to its volume (g / cm 3 )

[0071] Several methods are available for determining the density of a component.

[0072] For example, reference may be made to the ISO 298:1998 method for determining the d20 density of essential oils.

[0073] By "perfume oil" (also "fragrance") or "flavor" is herein understood an ingredient or composition that is liquid at about 20°C. The said perfume oil or flavor oil can be a perfuming or flavoring ingredient alone or a mixture of ingredients in the form of a perfuming or flavoring composition. By "perfuming ingredient" is meant here a compound used in a perfuming preparation or composition for the primary purpose of imparting a hedonic effect. In other words, to be considered a perfuming ingredient, such an ingredient must not only have an odor, but must also be recognized by those skilled in the art as being at least capable of imparting or modifying the odor of the composition in a positive or pleasant way. The nature and type of perfuming ingredients present in the oil phase do not warrant a more detailed description here, and in any case are not exhaustive; those skilled in the art can select them based on their general knowledge according to the intended use or application and the desired sensory effect. Generally speaking, these odoriferous ingredients belong to various chemical classes, such as alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, esters, ethers, acetates, nitriles, terpenoids, nitrogen- or sulfur-containing heterocyclic compounds, and essential oils, and said odoriferous ingredients can be of natural or synthetic origin. Many of these ingredients are listed in reference texts, such as S.

Arctander's book "Perfume and Flavor Chemicals," 1969, Montclair, New Jersey, USA, or its latest edition, or other works of a similar nature, as well as in the abundant patent literature in the field of perfumery. It is understood that the above ingredients may also be compounds known to release in a controlled manner various types of perfuming compounds, also known as pro-perfumes or pro-fragrances. Non-limiting examples of suitable pro-perfumes include 4-(dodecylthio)-4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-2-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2-butanone, 4-(dodecylthio)-4-(2,6,6-trimethyl-1-cyclohexen-1-yl)-2-butanone, trans-3-(dodecylthio)-1-(2,6,6-trimethyl-3-cyclohexen-1-yl)-1-butanone, 2-phenylethyloxo(phenyl)acetate, or mixtures thereof.

[0080] In certain embodiments, the fragrance formulation has the following properties: at least 35%, preferably at least 40%, preferably at least 50%, more preferably at least 60% of perfuming ingredients with a log P 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 bulk materials of groups 1 to 6, preferably groups 3 to 6, as defined herein; and at least 15%, preferably at least 20%, more preferably at least 25%, even more preferably at least 30% of high impact perfume materials with a Log T<-4 This includes perfume oils that have all of the above.

[0081] The amounts of perfume oil components / materials defined above are given based on the total weight of the perfume oil.

[0082] In a particular embodiment, the perfume oil comprises at least 40% of perfuming ingredients with a log P greater than 3.

[0083] Log P is the base 10 logarithm of the estimated octanol-water partition coefficient, which is known as an index of lipophilicity.

[0084] LogP values ​​for many fragrance compounds are reported, for example, in the Pomona92 database, available from Daylight Chemical Information Systems, Inc. (Daylight CIS), Irvine, California, which also contains citations to the original literature. LogP values ​​can be most conveniently calculated using the "CLOGP" program, also available from Daylight CIS. This program also lists experimental logP values ​​in the Pomona92 database, if available. "Calculated logP" (cLogP) is determined by the Hansch and Leo fragment approach (see A. Leo, in Comprehensive Medicinal Chemistry, Vol. 4, C. Hansch, PG Sammens, JB Taylor, and CA Ramsden, Eds., p. 295, Pergamon Press, 1990). This fragment approach is based on the chemical structure of each fragrance oil component, taking into account the number and type of atoms, atom connectivity, and chemical bonding. The cLogP value, being the most reliable and widely used estimate of this physicochemical property, can preferably be used instead of the experimental LogP value in the selection of odoriferous compounds useful in the present invention.

[0085] In certain embodiments, the perfume oil comprises at least 40%, preferably at least 50%, more preferably at least 60% of components with a logP greater than 3, preferably greater than 3.5, even more preferably greater than 3.75.

[0086] 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 fragrance used in the present invention contains no primary alcohols and less than 15% of secondary and tertiary alcohols.

[0087] In certain embodiments, the perfume oil comprises at least 20%, preferably at least 25%, more preferably at least 40% of bulk materials from groups 1 to 6, preferably groups 3 to 6.

[0088] The term bulk material is understood herein as a perfuming ingredient that has a high steric hindrance, ie that has a substitution pattern that provides a high steric hindrance.

[0089] The bulk material is in particular from one of the following groups: - first group: 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; - second group: 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; - third group: perfuming ingredients comprising a phenyl ring or 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 a cyclohexane, cyclohexene, cyclohexanone or cyclohexenone ring substituted with at least one phenyl substitution and, optionally, at least one or more 1-3 nodes containing a substituent, preferably one or more linear or branched C1-C3 alkyl or alkenyl substituents; - fourth group: 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; - fifth group: odoriferous ingredients containing a camphor-like ring structure, i.e., two 5- or 6-membered rings fused in a bridged manner; - Sixth group: at least one 7-20 membered ring, preferably at least one C7 or C 20 A fragrance ingredient containing a ring structure.

[0090] 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. Particular examples of nodes as understood herein are carbon atoms (up to four bonds to further atoms), nitrogen atoms (up to three bonds to further atoms), oxygen atoms (up to two bonds to further atoms) and sulfur (up to two bonds to further atoms).

More preferably, the perfume comprises at least 30%, preferably at least 40%, preferably at least 50% of ingredients from groups 3 to 6 defined above. Most preferably, the perfume comprises at least 30%, preferably at least 50% of ingredients from groups 3, 4 or 6 defined above.

[0093] In certain embodiments, the perfume oil comprises at least 15% high impact perfume materials with a Log T<-4.

[0094] A "high impact perfume raw material" should be understood as a perfume raw material having a LogT<-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 threshold concentration is presented as the base 10 logarithm of the threshold concentration, i.e., Log[Threshold] ("LogT").

[0095] The odor threshold concentration of a 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 accurately measured, and the sampling volume is calculated assuming a human inhalation time of 12 seconds. Since the exact concentration at the detector at any time is known, the mass per inhaled volume is known, and therefore the concentration of the fragrance compound. To determine the threshold concentration, a solution with the back-calculated concentration is sent to a sniff port. Panelists smell the GC eluate and identify the retention time at which an odor is detected. The average of all panelists determines the odor threshold concentration of the fragrance compound. The determination of odor thresholds is described in 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.

[0096] According to a particular embodiment, high impact perfume raw materials with a Log T<-4 are selected from the list in Table A below.

[0097] [Table 1-1]

[0098] [Table 1-2]

[0099] [Table 1-3]

[0100] [Table 1-4]

[0101] [Table 1-5]

[0102] According to one embodiment, the perfume raw materials having a Log T<-4 are selected in the group consisting of aldehydes, ketones, alcohols, phenols, ester lactones, ethers, epoxides, nitriles and mixtures thereof.

[0103] According to one embodiment, the perfume raw material having a Log T<-4 comprises at least one compound selected from the group consisting of alcohols, phenols, ester lactones, ethers, epoxides, nitriles and mixtures thereof, preferably in an amount comprised between 20 and 70% by weight, based on the total weight of the perfume raw material having a Log T<-4.

[0104] According to one embodiment, the perfume raw materials having a Log T<-4 comprise 20-70% by weight of aldehydes, ketones and mixtures thereof, based on the total weight of the perfume raw materials having a Log T<-4.

[0105] Thus, the remaining perfume raw materials contained in the oily core may have a Log T > -4.

[0106] Non-limiting examples of perfume raw materials with a Log T > -4 are listed in Table B below.

[0107] [Table 2-1]

[0108] [Table 2-2]

[0109] [Table 2-3]

[0110] High impact fragrance ingredient properties with Log T<-4 and 1.07g / cm 3 Density-balanced materials having a density greater than are described in WO2018115250, the contents of which are incorporated by reference.

[0111] In certain embodiments, the hydrophobic solvent has a Hansen solubility parameter that is compatible with the encapsulated perfume oil.

[0112] The term "Hansen solubility parameter" refers to the solubility parameter approach used to predict polymer solubility proposed by Charles Hansen, and is understood to have been 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-permanent dipole forces, and (molecular) hydrogen bonding (electron exchange). The "weighted Hansen solubility parameter" is calculated by the (δD 2 +δP 2 +δΗ 2 ) 0.5 where δD is the Hansen dispersion value, δP is the Hansen polarizability value, and δH is the Hansen hydrogen bond ("h-bond") value. For details on the parameters and values, see Charles Hansen, The Three Dimensional Solubility Parameter and Solvent Diffusion Coefficient, Danish Technical Press (Copenhagen, 1967).

[0113] The Euclidean difference in solubility parameters between the fragrance and the solvent is (4 * (δDs olvent -δD fragrance ) 2 +(δP solvent -δPfragrance ) 2 +(δH solvent -δH fragrance ) 2 ) 0.5 δD is calculated as solvent , δP solvent , and δH solvent are the Hansen dispersion value (hereinafter also referred to as atomic dispersion force), Hansen polarizability value (hereinafter also referred to as dipole moment), and Hansen h bond value (hereinafter also referred to as hydrogen bond) of the solvent, respectively, and δD fragrance , δP fragrance , and δH fragrance are the Hansen dispersion value, Hansen polarizability value, and Hansen h-bonding value of the fragrance, respectively.

[0114] In certain embodiments, the perfume oil and the hydrophobic solvent have at least two Hansen solubility parameters selected from a first group consisting of atomic dispersion forces (δD) of 12-20, dipole moment (δP) of 1-8, and hydrogen bonding (δH) of 2-11.

[0115] In certain embodiments, at least 90% of the perfume oils, preferably at least 95% of the perfume oils, and most preferably at least 98% of the perfume oils have at least two Hansen Solubility Parameters selected from a first group consisting of atomic dispersion forces (δD) of 12-20, dipole moments (δP) of 1-8, and hydrogen bonds (δH) of 2-11.

[0116] 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.

[0201] Example 1 Preparation of microcapsule slurry Microcapsules A to D were prepared using Protocol 3. Similar results were obtained using Protocols 1 and 2.

[0202] [Table 20]

[0203] Next, a portion of the microcapsule slurries (A, B, C, and D) was mixed with preservatives and thickening polymers (0.5% sodium benzoate and 0.1–0.5% xanthan gum).

[0204] The biodegradability of the shell was determined by using OECD 301F.

[0205] Extracting the Shell The slurry was washed three times with pure water in a separatory funnel. The washed microcapsules were centrifuged at 5000 RPM for 20 minutes. The microcapsules were removed and dried at room temperature for two days. The dried shells were crushed and divided in an Erlenmeyer, and the fragrance was extracted with ethyl acetate (5% by weight concentration) and magnetic stirring (1 hour; 500 rpm). The shells were filtered under vacuum using a sintered glass funnel. The extraction was performed five times. The shells were collected in a crystallizer, dried under vacuum at 50°C, and ground in an IKA tube mill (5 minutes; 20,100 rpm) to obtain a white powder. The shells were stirred in water for 24 hours and recovered by filtration. The shells were dried and ground again in an IKA tube mill (5 minutes; 20,100 rpm). The shells were extracted with ethyl acetate and magnetic stirring (1 hour; 600 rpm) and filtered under vacuum using a sintered glass funnel. The process was repeated five times. The shells were collected in a crystallizer and dried under vacuum at 50°C. The resulting product was milled (IKA Tube Mill, 5 min; 20100 rpm).
