PERFUME PRECURSOR COMPOSITIONS AND METHOD FOR EXPRESSING PERFUME COMPONENTS

摘要

Perfume precursor compositions being usable in the fields of cosmetics, foods, etc. and capable of effectively sustaining and expressing a scent, characterized by containing, as the active component, perfume precursor compounds, wherein a volatile perfume compound having a mercapto group in its molecule is bonded to a nonvolatile compound having a mercapto group in its molecule to form a disulfide, (perfume precursor compounds A); or perfume precursor compounds which are organic compounds represented by general formula (1), wherein R<1>H is a nonvolatile compound and R<2>H is a volatile compound having a furan ring structure (involving structures having hydrogen added to a part or all of the double bonds between carbon atoms) or a thiophene ring structure (involving structures having hydrogen added to a part or all of the double bonds between carbon atoms) in its molecule, (perfume precursor compounds B).
