The present invention primarily relates to a product comprising or consisting of a plastic container (i) comprising or consisting of PE and/or PP and/or PET, and a specific composition (ii) contained in the container, wherein detrimental interactions between the container (i) and the composition (ii) contained therein are minimised.

A method of assessing the impact of a test perfume composition on the well-being of human subjects is provided, as well as a method of preparing or optimizing a perfume composition for enhancing the well-being of a human subject, perfume compositions that enhance the well-being, and consumer products containing them.

The present invention relates to new classes of odorous 3-(2- methylenealkoxy)alkanenitrile derivatives of formula (I) which are useful as fragrance or flavor materials in particular in providing dry, woody, dusty, earthy, and/or patchouli notes together with optional coriander, aldehydic, citrus, mandarin, pear, cinnamon, and/ or petal floral-like notes to perfume, aroma or deodorizing/masking compositions.

Provided are a novel agent or composition and others.

The agent or composition comprises caryophyllene and is used for at least one selected from the following (purposes) (1) to (3) : (1) promoting relaxation, prolonging a resting-state time, and/or prolonging a motionless time, (2) promoting sleep, and (3) preventing blood pressure elevation.

The present invention also relates to a method for inhaling β-caryophyllene simultaneously with smoking a tobacco product, characterized in that the tobacco product contains a β-caryophyllene-containing seamless capsule in a tobacco filter, wherein the seamless capsule contains an essential oil containing β-caryophyllene as an active ingredient. The applicants found that pulmonary inhalation of β-caryophyllene by the above method allows β-caryophyllene to be efficiently distributed throughout the body, leading to achievements of relaxing and sleep-inducing effects, etc.

A method for extracting an essence or perfume oil from pistachio hulls, the method comprises separating the pistachio green hulls or velvet hulls from pistachio nuts using an industrial separator and subjecting the hulls to an extraction method, which causes release of the essence from essence containing glands, wherein the essence mixes with steam forming vapors. The method further comprises distilling the vapors to form a liquid comprising the essence mixed with an aqueous component and separating the essence from the aqueous component. Compositions and methods for extracting perfume oil from pistachio hulls are described.

An edible composition, an aerosol composition, a flavor composition, a fragrance composition, or an inhalable composition includes an organosulfur compound such as prenyl mercaptan, 2-methylthiophene, 3-methylthiophene, dimethyl disulfide, diprenyl disulfide, 3-methyl-2-buten-1-yl thiolacetate, 3-methyl-1-[(3-methyl-2-buten-1-yl)sulfanyl]-2-butene, prenylmethylthiol (1-(methylsulfanyl)-3-methyl-2-butene), prenyl thioacetate, thiogeraniol, dimethyl sulfide, or a combination of any two or more thereof, and a primary terpene compound selected from the group consisting of myrcene, β-caryophyllene, limonene, α-pinene, β-pinene, valencene, ocimene, terpinolene, or a combination of any two or more thereof.

The present invention relates to the use of a composition containing 1,8-para-menthenethiol and 3-mercaptohexyl acetate, such as a plant extract and in particular an extract of timur (Zanthoxylum armatum), as odor-masking agent. It also relates to a deodorizing product in the form of an aerosol, candle, or electrical or wick fragrance diffuser, containing this composition.

An edible composition, an aerosol composition, a flavor composition, a fragrance composition, or an inhalable composition includes an organosulfur compound such as prenyl mercaptan, 2-methylthiophene, 3-methylthiophene, dimethyl disulfide, diprenyl disulfide, 3-methyl-2-buten-1-yl thiolacetate, 3-methyl-1-[(3-methyl-2-buten-1-yl)sulfanyl]-2-butene, prenylmethylthiol (1-(methylsulfanyl)-3-methyl-2-butene), prenyl thioacetate, thiogeraniol, dimethyl sulfide, or a combination of any two or more thereof, and a primary terpene compound selected from the group consisting of myrcene, β-caryophyllene, limonene, α-pinene, β-pinene, valencene, ocimene, terpinolene, or a combination of any two or more thereof.

Compositions which are fragrant and contain at least a member set culled from a library of compositions, each being comprised of sub-combinations of selected terpenes. Fragrances that mimic that of various states of organic and synthetic aromatics including products, processes and those from non-combusted plant products, among other things, uniquitous products, processes, medicinals, and related moieties leverage databases of all known terpene groupings are offered for consideration, and have been provided, according to the instant teachings.

The invention relates to the use of terpene C.sub.1-C.sub.8-alkyl ether compositions and novel C.sub.1-C.sub.8-alkyl ethers of mono- and bicyclic terpenes as aroma chemicals, preferably as fragrances. The invention also relates to terpene C.sub.1-C.sub.8-alkyl ether compositions and novel C.sub.1-C.sub.8-alkyl ethers of mono- and bicyclic terpenes. The present invention also relates to a method for preparing C.sub.1-C.sub.8-alkyl ethers of mono- and bicyclic terpenes by electrolysis of mono- or polyunsaturated, non-aromatic, mono- or bicyclic terpene hydrocarbons.
