USE OF ALKYL POLYGLYCOSIDES AS PERFUME-SOLUBILISING AGENTS AND PERFUME COMPOSITION INCLUDING SAME

摘要

The invention relates to the use of a composition represented by the formula (I): R-O-(G)p-H wherein R is the n-heptyl radical, G is the residue of a reducing sugar and p is a decimal number no lower than 1.05 and no higher than 5, said composition of formula (I) consisting of a mixture of compounds represented by the formulas (I1), (I2), (I3), (I4) and (I5): R-O-(G)1-H (I1) R-O-(G)2-H (I2) R-O-(G)3-H (I3) R-O-(G)4-H (I4) R-O-(G)5-H (I5) in the respective molar ratios a1, a2, a3, a4 and a5, such that each of the ratios a1, a2, a3, a4 and a5 is between zero and one inclusive and that the sum of a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 + a5 is equal to one. The invention relates to the use of said composition as an agent for solubilising a hydrophobic perfume substance (A) or a mixture of hydrophobic perfume substances (A) in an aqueous solution. The invention further relates to a solubilising composition for hydrophobic perfumes and to a method for perfuming surfaces.
