Disclosed are scented material compositions, articles and methods of their manufacture. In some aspects, a scented attachment for a beverage container includes a scented article including a body loaded with a volatile chemical compound to emanate from the body of the scented article to generate a scent, in which the scented article includes at least one interior protruding structure that projects from an interior wall of the body of the scented article and is configured to attach to a bottle and be enclosed by a cap and the bottle when the cap is securely fastened to the bottle, such that the scent from the scented attachment is trapped when the cap is securely attached to the bottle and releases into an outer environment when the cap is detached from the bottle, in which the scented article comprises a scented material formed of a fragrance oil and a plastic base material.

This invention relates to a monolithic molded part comprising multiple cohesive matrices for the simultaneous diffusion of volatile active ingredients, in contact or separately, wherein said multiple matrix is formed by the combination of several simple matrices, characterized in that each of said simple matrices is capable of containing one or more active ingredient(s), each active ingredient having its own release kinetics.

A method for manufacturing a flavor capsule of tobacco according to an embodiment of the present disclosure may comprise: a membrane manufacturing step for manufacturing a membrane of a flavor capsule by a membrane manufacturing part that manufactures a membrane; a capsule manufacturing step for manufacturing the flavor capsule using an apparatus for manufacturing a capsule with the membrane manufactured during the membrane manufacturing step and a flavored liquid to be held in the membrane; and a hardening step for hardening the flavor capsule.

Fibrous materials, compositions that include fibrous materials, and uses of the fibrous materials and compositions are disclosed. For example, the fibrous materials can be operated on by a microorganism to produce ethanol or a by-product, such as a protein or lignin.

A product capable of controlling odours arising from organic matter, and a method of making the product. The product comprises an admixture of a moldable thermoplastic and a benign dormant bacteria in a sporulated form, which admixture is formed by mixing the benign dormant bacteria into the moldable thermoplastic when the moldable thermoplastic is melted, and molding the admixture into a molded product. The benign dormant bacteria are embedded throughout the molded product, including being buried within a body of the molded product and being presented on a surface of the molded product. The benign dormant bacteria presented on the surface of the molded product are activatable upon exposure of the surface of the molded product to the organic matter, and the benign activated bacteria digest the organic matter to control production of offensive odours. Abrasive wear of the surface of the molded product exposes fresh benign dormant bacteria buried in the body to the surface for additional odour control.
