Photolabile pro-fragrances may include the ketones of Formula (I)

##STR00001##

Such compounds may be used in detergents, cleaning agents, cosmetic agents, air-care agents, and combinations thereof. The photolabile pro-fragrances may create a long-lasting fragrance on surfaces or in a room using the aforementioned pro-fragrances.

The present invention relates to the field of fragrance storage means as used, for example, in the field of washing or cleaning compositions, cosmetic compositions and air freshening compositions. The invention relates to specific diazirines which function as thermally labile and acid-labile fragrance storage means. The present invention further relates to washing and cleaning compositions, cosmetic compositions and air freshening compositions comprising such diazirines. The invention further relates to a method of long-lasting fragrancing of surfaces, and likewise to a method of long-lasting room fragrancing.

The present invention relates to a composition, a fiber or a fragrance composition for improving cognitive ability or memory ability, containing a fermented Perilla frutescens extract. In addition, the present invention relates to a composition for preventing, alleviating or treating cognitive ability- or memory ability-related diseases, containing a fermented Perilla frutescens extract. Furthermore, the present invention relates to a method for treating cognitive ability- or memory ability-related diseases, comprising a step of administering a fermented Perilla frutescens extract to a patient with a cognitive ability- or memory ability-related disease. Compared to an unfermented Perilla frutescens extract, a fermented Perilla frutescens extract of the present invention significantly increases cognitive ability or memory ability, thereby being effectively usable as a composition for improving cognitive ability or memory ability. Moreover, a fermented Perilla frutescens extract of the present invention can be effectively used in a composition for preventing, alleviating or treating cognitive ability- or memory ability-related diseases, or in a treatment method.

According to a first aspect, the invention relates to biodegradable microcapsules, comprising a core material and a shell, wherein the shell consists of at least one barrier layer and at least one stability layer, wherein the barrier layer surrounds the core material, wherein the stability layer comprises at least one biopolymer, and is arranged on the outer surface of the barrier layer, and wherein an emulsion stabilizer is arranged at the transition from barrier layer to stability layer. Furthermore, the invention relates to the use of an emulsion stabilizer to increase the amount of a stability layer that can be deposited on the surface of a barrier layer, a product containing the biodegradable microcapsules, and a method for producing the biodegradable microcapsules.

The present invention relates to the controlled release of odoriferous substances from microcapsules by means of orthoformic acid esters. As a result, a long-lasting fragrance is achieved.

Compositions based upon an ethanol-free aqueous microemulsion having an aqueous phase including at least a preservative system, a discontinuous perfume oil phase and a surfactant system are disclosed. The compositions are stable microemulsions, resist microbial growth and can be used as perfume components in almost all perfume products.

A process for extraction of crude oil from distillers dried grain solubles and/or distillers dried grains and producing corn distillers meal that may be used as a livestock supplement is disclosed. For example, the corn distillers meal may be used as a crude protein supplement for use in a livestock feed diet or a poultry feed diet. The solvent extracted crude oil may be suitable for oleochemical processing for personal care and home care products, biodiesel production, and/or renewable diesel production from hydro-treating the extracted oil to make green diesel fuel.

The present invention relates to the field of perfumery and more precisely it concerns a perfuming composition, and the consumer articles associated therewith, showing an improved impact of fragrance intensity and/or modulating fragrance character. The perfuming composition of matter comprises a -thio carbonyl profragrance derivative and specific perfuming terpenes derivatives.

A compound of Formula (I) ##STR00001##
or of a mixture comprising two, three, four, five, six or a plurality of different compounds of Formula (I) for the superadditive enhancement of an olfactory impression. The invention also relates to novel fragrance and/or flavor material compositions which, in addition to a compound of Formula (I) or a mixture thereof, further contains one, two, three or a plurality of further fragrance and/or flavor materials, the fragrance and/or flavor material or the further fragrance and/or flavor materials not being compound of Formula (I).

The invention relates to a vetiveryl ester comprising at least 0.5 weight percent of secondary alcohol compounds with respect to the total weight of the vetiveryl ester and to a process for the preparation a vetiveryl ester, the process comprising: providing a vetiver oil, at least one enzyme preparation and at least one acylating compound; and allowing sufficient time for the enzyme preparation to esterify the alcohol compounds of the vetiver oil with the acylating compound. The invention also relates to a vetiveryl ester obtainable by the above process, a fragrance composition comprising an above-mentioned vetiveryl ester and the use of an above-mentioned vetiveryl ester for the preparation of a perfumed product.
