FRAGRANCES AND FLAVORANTS

摘要

Compositions useful in the delivery of fragrances and flavorant active agents, and particularly vaporous fragrances and flavorants, are provided. These compositions include a microsphere which includes: (a) the active agent; and (b) (i) a proteinoid, (ii) a modified hydrolyzed vegetable protein wherein the protein is modified with an amino reactive agent, or (iii) a combination thereof. Also contemplated is a method for preparing these compositions wherein the active agent is mixed with the proteinoid of hydrolyzed vegetable protein solution and the proteinoid or modified hydrolyzed vegetable protein is precipitated out of the solution, thereby forming a microsphere containing the active agent. In a further embodiment, the active agent is applied to a substrate.
