Solution Overview

Problem

The flavor and fragrance industry lacks compounds that can enhance, modify, or improve odor notes, limiting the creation of new fragrances for perfumes, personal care products, and household items.

Innovation Solution

Specific organic compounds of formula (I), where R1 signifies -CH3, -CH2CH3, or -CH2CH2CH3, and R2 signifies -OH, with R3 and R4 being -H, -OH, or -OCH3, are used as flavor and fragrance materials, either alone or in combination with other known odorant molecules, in formulations that include diluents and auxiliary agents.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional flavor and fragrance compounds are used, then existing fragrance formulations can be maintained, but the ability to create new and improved fragrances is limited

Engineering Contradiction:

Improveability to create new fragrancesVSAvoidcompound structure complexity

Core Design Contradiction:

Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies parameter changes by systematically varying the alkyl group parameters (R1, R2, R3, R4) in the compound structure to create a series of related fragrance compounds with different odor profiles. This allows perfumers to explore new fragrance possibilities by adjusting specific structural parameters while maintaining the core molecular framework

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent employs composite materials by combining the novel compounds of formula (I) with other known odorant molecules and fragrance ingredients to create complex fragrance formulations. This composite approach enables the creation of new fragrance accords and profiles that leverage both the unique properties of the new compounds and established fragrance materials

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

2Quantity of substance

If higher concentrations of fragrance compounds are used to enhance odor notes, then fragrance intensity increases, but formulation stability and safety may be compromised

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvefragrance compound concentrationVSAvoidformulation stability

Core Design Contradiction:

Quantity of substanceVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The patent utilizes parameter changes by optimizing the concentration parameter of the fragrance compounds within the safe and effective range of 0.0001-10 wt-%. This allows formulation of fragrances with enhanced intensity while maintaining stability and safety by precisely controlling the quantity parameter

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes
