A solid, free-flowing composition adapted to deliver fragrance or malodor counteractant in a consumer product that is subjected to actual or potential malodorous influences. The composition comprises a delivery system consisting of a core material surrounded by a fragranced material comprising microdroplets of a dispersed fragrance in a fragrance-encapsulating material, optionally surrounded by a protective coating, and, an external absorbent material in which the fragrance delivery vehicle is dispersed. The composition is effective with respect to animal litters.

Fragrance composition

A solid, free-flowing composition adapted to deliver fragrance or malodor counteractant in a consumer product that is subjected to actual or potential malodorous influences, comprising: The invention is especially effective with respect to animal litters, especially those for cats.

A composition comprising a fragrance material consisting of an outer matrix containing components of the fragrance material and disposed within the outer matrix, discrete core particles containing the remaining components of the fragrance material. Components of the fragrance material within the core particles are preferably selected from highly volatile and/or water soluble materials, whereas components of the fragrance material within the outer matrix are preferably selected from relatively low volatile and/or low water soluble materials.

Fragrance compositions

Beads as food additive consisting of a matrix of a reticulated multivalent cation containing acid polysaccharide and at least one water soluble and/or volatile liquid or solid active ingredient filling at least partly the voids built by the acid polysaccharide are prepared by a process comprising the steps of forming a system consisting of a dispersion or emulsion of a water immiscible material in an aqueous solution of an acid polysaccharide, especially in the form of an alkali metal salt, an emulsifier and, optionally, one or more other water soluble or water dispersible substances; forming of discrete droplets of said system; converting said droplets to water-insoluble gel beads by introducing said droplets in an aqueous or alcoholic solution containing multivalent cations, thereby building a suspension of gel beads; isolating said gel beads from said suspension; optionally, drying the isolated beads, and loading the isolated beads with at least one active ingredient. The active ingredient is at least one compound of the group consisting of flavors, fragrances, vitamins or coloring materials.

Process for preparing beads as food additive and product thereof

Beads as food additives consisting of a matrix of a reticulated multivalent cation containing acid polysaccharide and at least one water soluble and/or voltaile liquid or solid active ingredient filling at least partly the voids built by the acid polysaccharide are prepared by a process comprising the steps of forming a system consisting of a dispersion or emulsion of a water immiscible material in an aqueous solution of an acid polysaccharide, especially in the form of an alkali metal salt, an emulsifier and, optionally, one or more other water soluble or water dispersible substances; forming of discrete droplets of said system; converting said droplets to water-insoluble gel beads by introducing said droplets in an aqueous or alcoholic solution containing multivalent cations, thereby building a suspension of gel beads; isolating said gel beads from said suspension; optionally, drying the isolated beads, and loading the isolated beads with at least one active ingredient. The active ingredient is at least one compound of the group consisting of flavors, fragrances, vitamins or coloring materials.
