Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional deodorizing and antimicrobial agents using existing components do not achieve deodorizing and antimicrobial effects better than predicted, despite known efficacy of their individual components.

Innovation Solution

A deodorizing and antimicrobial agent is formulated using a loquat seed extract enriched with non-volatile fatty acids and at least benzaldehyde and benzoic acid, combined with a bayberry seed extract, where the mixing ratio of both extracts is optimized to achieve enhanced deodorizing and antimicrobial effects.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If conventional existing components (chitosan, Bacillus subtilis, amygdalin, etc.) are used as main ingredients, then the deodorizing and antimicrobial effects meet predicted levels, but the effects cannot exceed predicted levels

Engineering Contradiction:

Improvedeodorizing and antimicrobial effectsVSAvoideffect enhancement beyond prediction

Core Design Contradiction:

ReliabilityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by using specific plant extracts (loquat seed extract enriched with non-volatile fatty acids and benzaldehyde/benzoic acid, bayberry seed extract) instead of conventional components. This parameter change enables the deodorizing and antimicrobial effects to exceed predicted levels while maintaining safety

Inventive Principle:

Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The patent creates a composite deodorizing and antimicrobial agent by combining specific plant extracts (loquat seed extract and bayberry seed extract) in optimized ratios. This composite approach produces synergistic effects that exceed the sum of individual component effects, resolving the contradiction between meeting predicted effects and achieving enhanced effects

Inventive Principle:

Principle #40Composite materials

Applied Scientific Principles

This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.

Function Achieved in This Case

The combination of loquat and bayberry seed extracts significantly improves deodorization rates and antimicrobial activity, achieving better results than using either extract alone, with optimal effects observed at a 1:3 to 1:5 mixing ratio.
