Pet-Preferred Fragrance Composition for Cats and Dogs
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current homecare products are primarily optimized for human fragrance acceptance, neglecting pet preferences, leading to issues like litter box aversion in cats, which affects their behavior and bond with owners.
Innovation Solution
Development of fragrance or aroma/flavour compositions comprising compounds with gourmand or musk odor types, specifically selected to be appealing to cats and dogs, while avoiding woody odors that are repulsive, for use in perfumed or flavored pet products.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If homecare products are optimized for human fragrance acceptance, then consumer satisfaction is improved, but pet acceptance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The fragrance composition is designed to serve multiple functions simultaneously: it provides pleasant scents for human consumers while also being acceptable and attractive to pets. The composition achieves this by carefully selecting compounds that satisfy both human olfactory preferences and pet sensory acceptance, making the product universally appealing across different species.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes the chemical composition parameters of the fragrance by specifically excluding woody odor compounds (which repel pets) and including only gourmand and musk odor compounds (which are accepted by both humans and pets). This parameter adjustment in the fragrance formulation resolves the contradiction between human satisfaction and pet acceptance.
2Ease of operation
If woody odor compounds are used in fragrance compositions, then human preference is improved, but pet acceptance deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The invention extracts and removes woody odor compounds from the fragrance composition, which are identified as harmful factors that cause pet repulsion. By taking out these specific compounds while retaining other fragrance components, the composition maintains human appeal without the negative effect on pets.
Solution Approach 2:
The fragrance composition applies local quality by having different odor compound types in specific proportions - gourmand and musk compounds are included while woody compounds are excluded. This localized chemical composition strategy ensures that specific parts of the fragrance profile (the individual compounds) have properties suitable for both human and pet acceptance.
