Uses of methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives in augmenting or enhancing the aroma or taste of consumable materials
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     The present invention provides methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives defined according to the generic structure: ##STR2## wherein R represents hydrogen or acetyl, an economical process directed towards synthesizing said methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives and organoleptic uses thereof for augmenting or enhancing the aroma or taste of perfume compositions, colognes, perfumed articles, foodstuffs, chewing gums, toothpastes, medicinal products and chewing tobaccos. 
     There has been considerable work performed relating to substances which can be used to impart (or alter, modify or enhance) fragrances and aromas and/or tastes to (or in) perfume compositions, colognes, perfumed articles, foodstuffs, chewing gums, chewing tobaccos, medicinal products and toothpastes. These substances are used to diminish the use of natural materials, some of which may be in short supply and/or to provide more uniform properties in the finished product. 
     Powerful, long-lasting, stable green, grapefruit-like, nootkatone-like, animalic, leathery, vetiver-like, olibanum, musky and floral aromas are highly desirable to many types of perfume compositions, perfumes and perfumed articles, particularly herbal fragrances and herbal fragranced soaps and detergents. 
     Floral, green, weedy, fruity, grapefuit, galbanum-like, nootkatone-like, oriental and green pepper-like aroma and taste nuances are highly desirable in the creation of flavors for foodstuffs, chewing gums, toothpastes, medicinal products and chewing tobaccos. 
     Methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives are known for use in augmenting or enhancing the aroma of perfume compositions, perfumed articles and colognes. Thus, U.S. Pat. No. 4,206,090 issued on June 3, 1980 discloses the compound having the structure: ##STR3## for use in augmenting or enhancing the &#34;rose&#34; aroma of perfume compositions, colognes and perfumed articles.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS 
     FIGS. 9 and 10 illustrate a preferred method for preparing compositions for the practice of our invention. A thermoplastic polymer, e.g., polyethylene is heated to about 220°-250° F. in a container 212 of the kind illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10. A formulation containing at least one of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention is then quickly added to the liquified thermoplastic polymer. The lid 228 is put in place and the agitating means 273 is actuated. The temperature is maintained at about 225° F. and the mixing is continued for about 5-15 minutes. The valve &#34;V&#34; is then opened to allow flow of the molten thermoplastic polymer enriched with the fragrance containing the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives to exit through the orifices 234. The liquid falling through the orifices 234 solidifies almost instantaneously upon impact with moving cooled conveyor 238. The thermoplastic polymer beads or pellets 224 having pronounced aromas which are aesthetically pleasing are thus formed. 
     The conveyor 238 is moved using conveyor rollers 240 and 242. The vessel 212 is heated using heating coils 212A using power input supplies indicated by reference numerals 214, 216, 224, 222, 220 and 226. The solidified beads containing fragrance containing methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives are indicated by 244 traveling into container 245 where they are used for subsequent processing. The conveyor is cooled using a cooling device indicated by reference numerals 248, 256, 215 and 254. 
     THE INVENTION 
     This invention relates to compounds defined according to the structure: ##STR22## wherein R is hydrogen or acetyl, processes for preparing same as well as uses thereof in augmenting or enhancing the aroma or taste of consumable materials. Such consumable materials are perfume compositions, perfumes, colognes, foodstuffs, chewing gums, chewing tobaccos, medicinal products and toothpastes. This invention also relates to processes for preparing such compounds defined according to the structure: ##STR23## wherein R is hydrogen or acetyl by reacting n-propanol having the structure: ##STR24## with hydrotropaldehyde having the structure: ##STR25## in order to form a mixture of compounds defined according to the structures: ##STR26## and then reacting this mixture with hydrogen in the presence of a Raney nickel catalyst according to the reactions: ##STR27## wherein in the above mentioned mixtures, one of the dashed lines is a carbon-carbon double bond and the other of the dashed lines is a carbon-carbon single bond. The resulting compound defined according to the structure: ##STR28## may be further reacted with acetic anhydride according to the reaction: ##STR29## whereby the compound having the structure: ##STR30## is formed. 
     Solid and liquid fragrance materials having powerful, long-lasting and stable green, grapefruit-like, nootkatone-like, animalic, leathery, vetiver-like, olibanum, musky and floral aroma nuances may be prepared by the utilization of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives defined according to the structure: ##STR31## wherein R is hydrogen or acetyl according to our invention. 
     Solid and liquid foodstuff, medicinal product, chewing gum, chewing tobacco and toothpaste compositions having floral, green, weedy, fruity, grapefruit, galbanum-like, nootkatone-like, oriental and green pepper-like aroma and taste nuances may be provided by the utilization of the compounds defined according to the structure: ##STR32## wherein R is hydrogen or acetyl according to our invention. 
     Specifically, the reaction of our invention involves the steps of: 
     (a) first reacting n-propanol having the structure: ##STR33##  with hydrotropaldehyde having the structure: ##STR34##  in the presence of a basic catalyst such as sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, lithium hydroxide or barium hydroxide and in the presence of an inert solvent such as methanol, isopropanol or ethanol according to the reaction step: ##STR35##  The reaction may take place at temperatures between 15° C. and 100° C. at pressures of atmospheric up to 10 atmospheres. Most preferably and conveniently, the reaction takes place at about 20° C. and 1 atmosphere pressure. At the end of the reaction, the reaction mass is appropriately &#34;worked-up&#34; as by washing the reaction product and then fractionally distilling the resulting reaction product at a vapor temperature in the range of 100°-108° C. at 2 mm/Hg pressure. 
     (b) The next reaction is that of reacting the mixture of compounds having the structures: ##STR36##  with hydrogen in the presence of a Raney nickel catalyst according to the reaction: ##STR37##  wherein in the mixture of compounds, one of the dashed lines is a carbon-carbon double bond and the other of the dashed lines is a carbon-carbon single bond. The hydrogenation reaction most preferably is carried out in the presence of a solvent which is inert (non-reactive) such as isopropyl alcohol, hexane or ethanol. When such a solvent is used, it is preferred that the mole ratio of solvent:alcohol reactant be approximately 1:1. The percentage of Raney nickel catalyst in the reaction mass may vary from about 3% up to about 10% with a percentage of catalyst of about 5% being preferred. The pressure of hydrogen over the reaction mass may vary from about 50 psig up to about 300 psig with a preferred pressure being 130-200 psig. Pressures greater than the upper limit set forth supra may be used without any decrease in reaction time or increase in yield or conversion. At the end of the hydrogenation reaction, the reaction mass is filtered in order to separate the catalyst from the desired product and the filtrate is distilled using a fractional distillation column operated under vacuum. The distillation of product defined according to the structure: ##STR38##  may be carried out at a vapor temperature in the range of 92°-115° C. and a pressure of 1.0-4.0 mm/Hg. 
     (c) If desired, the resulting alcohol having the structure: ##STR39##  may be esterified with acetic anhydride to form the ester having the structure: ##STR40##  according to the reaction: ##STR41##  The esterification reaction is carried out in the presence of a protonic acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid or paratoluene sulfonic acid at a temperature in the range of from about 20° C. up to about 170° C. Preferably and conveniently the esterification reaction may be carried out at between 20° C. and 50° C. The mole ratio of acetic anhydride:alcohol defined according to the structure: ##STR42##  may vary from 2:1 up to 1:2 with a mole ratio of acetic anhydride:alcohol having the structure: ##STR43##  being preferred to be about 1:1. At the end of the reaction, the reaction mass is &#34;worked-up&#34; and the crude reaction product is fractionally distilled. 
     If it is attempted to carry out the foregoing hydrogenation reaction using a less active catalyst, e.g. supported palladium-on-carbon or a &#34;Lindlar&#34; catalyst such as supported palladium-on-calcium carbonate, a reaction whereby the compound: ##STR44## is formed will not take place but, instead, a reaction will take place thusly: ##STR45## whereby the saturated aldehyde is formed. The creation of such unsaturated aldehyde is not desired in view of the intensely earthy aroma of same. Accordingly, the catalyst in the hydrogenation reaction is critical; that is, the reaction catalyst should be Raney nickel. 
     Specific examples of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention produced using the aforementioned process and their flavor and fragrance properties are as follows:

     One or more of the aforementioned methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives defined according to the structure: ##STR48## wherein R is hydrogen or acetyl is useful as an olfactory agent and can be incorporated into a wide variety of compositions each of which will be enhanced or augmented by its green, grapefruit-like, nootkatone-like, animalic, leathery, vetiver-like, olibanum, musky and floral nuances. 
     The methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives individually or taken in combination, can be added to perfume compositions as pure compounds or can be added to mixtures of materials in fragrance imparting compositions to provide a desired fragrance character to a finished perfume material. The perfume and fragrance compositions obtained according to this invention are suitable in a wide variety of perfumed articles and can also be used to enhance, modify or reinforce natural fragrance materials. It will thus be appreciated that the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention is (are) useful as olfactory agent(s) and fragrance(s). 
     The term &#34;perfume composition&#34; is used herein to mean a mixture of compounds including, for example, natural essential oils, synthetic essential oils, alcohols (other than the alcohols of our invention), aldehydes, ketones, esters (other than the ester of our invention), lactones, nitriles and frequently hydrocarbons which are admixed so that the combined odors of the individual components produce a pleasant or desired fragrance. Such perfume compositions usually contain (a) the main note or &#34;bouquet&#34; or foundation stone of the composition, (b) modifiers which round off and accompany the main note, (c) fixatives which include odorous substances which lend a particular note to the perfume throughout all stages of evaporation and substances which retard evaporation and (d) topnotes which are usually low-boiling, fresh-smelling materials. Such perfume compositions of our invention can be used in conjunction with carriers, vehicles, solvents, dispersants, emulsifiers, surface active agents, aerosol propellants and the like. 
     In perfume compositions, the olfactory components contribute their particular olfactory characteristics but the overall effect of the perfume composition will be the sum of the effect of each ingredient. Thus, one or both of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention can be used to alter, augment, modify or enhance the aroma characteristics of a perfume composition or a perfumed article, for example, by highlighting or moderating the olfactory reaction contributed by another ingredient of the composition. 
     The amount of one or both of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention which will be effective in perfume compositions depends upon many factors including the other ingredients, the amounts and the effects which are desired. It has been found that perfume compositions containing as much as 40% or as little as 0.005% by weight of the mixtures or compounds of this invention, or even less, can be used to impart a powerful, long-lasting, stable, green, grapefruit-like, nootkatone-like, animalic, leathery, vetiver-like, olibanum, musky and floral aroma to soaps, cosmetics and other products. The amount employed will depend upon considerations of cost, nature of the end product, the effect desired in the finished product and particular fragrance sought. 
     One or both of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention as disclosed herein can be used alone in a fragrance modifying composition or in a perfume composition as an olfactory component in detergents (e.g. anionic, cationic, nonionic or zwitterionic solid or liquid detergents) and soaps; space deodorants; perfumed plastics; perfume compositions; colognes, bath preparations such as bath oils, bath salts; hair preparations such as lacquers, brilliantines, pomades and shampoos; fabric softener compositions, fabric softener articles such as BOUNCE® (manufactured by the Procter &amp; Gamble Company of Cincinnati, Ohio), cosmetic preparations such as creams, powders, deodorants, hand lotions, sun screens, powders such as talcs, dusting powders, face powders and the like. When one or both of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention is used in perfumed articles such as the foregoing, it can be used in amounts of 0.01% or lower and generally it is preferred not to use more than about 2% in the finished perfumed article since the use of too much will tend to unbalance the total aroma and will needlessly raise the cost of the article. Thus, in summary, in perfumed articles, one or both of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention may be used in the range of from about 0.01% up to about 2.0%. 
     When one or both of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention are used as food flavor adjuvants, or are used to augment or enhance the flavor or aroma characteristics of foodstuffs, the nature of the co-ingredients included with said methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives in formulating the product composition will also serve to augment the organoleptic charcteristics of the ultimate foodstuff treated therewith. 
     As used herein in regard to flavors, the term &#34;augment&#34; in its various forms means &#34;supplying or imparting flavor, character or note to otherwise bland, relatively tasteless substances or augmenting the existing flavor characteristic wherein natural flavor is deficient in some regard or supplementing the existing flavor impression to modify its quality, character or taste&#34;. 
     As used herein in regard to food flavors, the term &#34;enhance&#34; is used to means the intensification of a flavor or aroma characteristic or note without the modification of the quality thereof. Thus &#34;enhancement&#34; of a flavor or aroma means that the enhancement agent does not add any additional flavor note. 
     As used herein the term &#34;foodstuff&#34; includes both solids and liquids and ingestible materials or chewable but non-ingestible materials such as chewing gum. Such materials usually do, but need not have nutritional value. Thus, foodstuffs include soaps, convenience foods, beverages, gelatin desserts, dairy products, candies, vegetables, cereals, soft drinks, snacks and the like. 
     Substances suitable for use herein as co-ingredients or flavoring adjuvants are well known in the art for such use, being extensively described in the relevant literature. Apart from the requirements that any such materials be organoleptically compatible with one or both of the methy phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention, non-reactive with one or both of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention and &#34;ingestibly acceptable&#34; and thus, non-toxic or otherwise non-deleterious, nothing particularly critical resides in the selection thereof. Accordingly, such materials which may in general be characterized as flavoring adjuvants or vehicles comprise broadly stabilizers, thickeners, surface active agents, conditioners, other flavorants and flavor intensifiers. 
     Stabilizer compounds include preservatives, e.g. sodium chloride, antioxidants, e.g. calcium and sodium ascorabate, ascorbic acid, butylated hydroxyanisole (mixture of 2 and 3 tertiary-butyl-4-hydroxyanisole), butylated hydroxy toluene (2,6-di-tertiary-butyl-4-methyl phenol), propyl gallate and the like and sequestrants, e.g. citric acid. 
     Thickener compounds include carriers, binders, protective colloids, suspending agents, emulsifiers and the like, e.g. agar agar, carrageenan; cellulose and cellulose derivatives such as carboxymethyl cellulose and methyl cellulose; natural and synthetic gums such as gum arabic, gum tragacanth; gelatin, proteinaceous materials; lipids; carbohydrates; starches, pectins and emulsifiers, e.g. mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, skim milk powder, hexoses, pentoses, disaccharides, e.g. sucrose, corn syrup and the like. 
     Surface active agents include emulsifying agents, e.g. fatty acids such as capric acid, caprylic acid, palmitic acid, myristic acid and the like, mono- and diglycerides of fatty acids, lecithin, defoaming and flavor-dispersing agents such as sorbitan monostearate, potassium stearate, hydrogenated tallow alcohol and the like. 
     Conditioners include compounds such as bleaching and maturing agents, e.g. benzoyl peroxide, calcium, peroxide, hydrogen peroxide and the like; starch modifiers such as peracetic acid, sodium chlorite, sodium hypochlorite, propylene oxide, succinic anhydride and the like, buffers and neutralizing agents, e.g. sodium acetate, ammonium bicarbonate, ammonium phosphate, citric acid, lactic acid, vinegar and the like; colorants, e.g. carminic acid, cochineal, tumeric and curcuma and the like; firming agents such as aluminum sodium sulfate, calcium chloride and calcium gluconate; texturizers, anti-caking agents, e.g. aluminum calcium sulfate and tribasic calcium phosphate; enzymes; yeast foods, e.g. calcium lactate and calcium sulfate; nutrient supplements, e.g. iron salts such as ferric phosphate, ferrous gluconate and the like, riboflavin, vitamins, zinc sources such as zinc chloride, zinc sulfate and the like. 
     Other flavorants and flavor intensifiers include organic acids, e.g. acetic acid, formic acid, 2-hexenoic acid, benzoic acid, n-butyric acid, caproic acid, caprylic acid, cinnamic acid, isobutyric acid, iosvaleric acid, alpha-methylbutyric acid, propionic acid, valeric acid, 2-methyl-2-pentenoic acid and 2-methyl-3-pentenoic acid; ketones and aldehydes, e.g. acetaldehyde, acetophenone, acetone, acetyl methyl carbinol, acrolein, n-butanal, crotonal, diacetyl, beta,beta-dimethyl-acrolein, n-hexanal, 2-hexenal, cis-3-hexenal, 2-heptanal, 4-(p-hydroxyphenyl)-2-butanone, alpha-ionone, beta-ionone, methyl-3-butanone, 2-pentanone, 2-pentenal and propanal; alcohols such as 1-butanal, benzyl alcohol, 1-borneol, trans-2-buten-1-ol, ethanol, geraniol, 1-hexanal, 2-heptanol, trans-2-hexenol-1, cis-3-hexen-1-ol, 3-methyl-3-buten-1-ol, 1-pentenol, 1-penten-3-ol, p-hydroxyphenyl-2-ethanol, isoamyl alcohol, isofenchyl alcohol, phenyl-2-ethanol, alpha-terpineol, cis-terpineol hydrate; esters such as butyl acetate, ethyl acetate, ethyl acetoacetate, ethyl benzoate, ethyl butyrate, ethyl caproate, ethyl cinnamate, ethyl crotonate, ethyl formate, ethyl isobutyrate, ethyl isovalerate, ethyl alpha-methylbutyrate, ethyl propionate, ethyl salicylate, trans-2-hexenyl acetate, hexyl acetate, 2-hexenyl butyrate, hexyl butyrate, isoamyl acetate, isopropyl butyrate, methyl acetate, methyl butyrate, methyl caproate, methyl isobutyrate, alpha-methylbutyrate, propyl acetate, amyl acetate, amyl butyrate, benzyl salicylate, dimethyl anthranilate, ethyl methylphenylglycidate, ethyl succinate, isobutyl cinnamate and terpenyl acetate; essential oils, such as jasmin absolute, rose absolute, orris absolute, lemon essential oil, Bulgarian rose, yara yara, natural raspberry oil and vanilla; lactones; sulfides, e.g. methyl sulfide and other materials such as maltol, pulegone mercaptan, alpha-phellandrene, ethyl maltol, 2,2,4,4,6,6-hexamethyl-S-trithiane, acetoin and acetals, (e.g. 1,1-diethoxyethane, 1,1-dimethoxyethane and dimethoxymethane). 
     The specific flavoring adjuvant selected for use may be either solid or liquid depending upon the desired physical form of the ultimate product, i.e. foodstuff, whether simulated or natural, and should, in any event, be capable of providing an environment in which one or both of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention can be dispersed or admixed to provide a homogeneous medium. In addition, selection of one or more flavoring adjuvants, as well as the quantities thereof, will depend upon the precise organoleptic character desired in the finished product. Thus, in the case of flavoring compositions, ingredient selection will vary in accordance with the foodstuff to which the flavor and aroma are to be imparted. In contradistinction, in the preparation of solid prodcts, e.g. simulated foodstuffs, ingredients capable of providing normally solid compositions should be selected such as various cellulose derivatives. 
     As will be appreciated by those skilled in the art, the amount of one or both of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention employed in a particular instance can vary over a relatively wide range whereby to its desired organoleptic effects having reference to the nature of the product are achieved. Thus, correspondingly greater amounts would be necessary in those instances wherein the ultimate food composition to be flavored is relatively bland to the taste, whereas relatively minor quantities may suffice for purposes of enhancing the composition merely deficient in natural flavor or aroma. The primary requirement is that the amount selected to be effective, i.e. sufficient to alter the organoleptic characteristics of the parent composition, whether foodstuff per se or flavoring composition. 
     The use of insufficient quantities of one or both of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention will, of course, substantially vitiate any possibility of obtaining the desired results while excess quantities prove needlessly costly and in extreme cases, may disrupt the flavor-aroma balance, thus proving self-defeating. Accordingly, the terminology &#34;effective amount&#34; and &#34;sufficient amount&#34; is to be accorded a significance in the context of the present invention consistent with the obtention of desired flavoring effects. 
     Thus, and with respect to ultimate food compositions, it is found that quantities of one or both of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention ranging from a small but effective amount, e.g. about 0.1 parts per million up to about 50 parts per million by weight based on total composition (more preferably, from about 0.2 ppm up to about 10 ppm) are suitable. Concentrations in excess of the maximum quantity slated are not normally recommended since they fail to prove commensurate with enhancement of organoleptic properties. In those instance wherein one or both of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention are added to the foodstuff as an integral component of a flavoring composition it is, of course, essential that the total quantity of flavoring composition employed be sufficient to yield an effective methyl phenyl pentanol derivative concentration in the foodstuff product. 
     Food flavoring compositions prepared in accordance with the present invention preferably contain one or both of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention in concentrations ranging from about 0.1% up to about 15% by weight based on the total weight of said flavoring composition. 
     The composition described herein can be prepared according to conventional techniques well known as typified by cake batters and fruit drinks and can be formulated by merely admixing the involved ingredients within the proportions stated in a suitable blender to obtain the desired consistency, homogeneity of dispersion, etc. Alternatively, flavoring compositions in the form of particulate solids can be conveniently prepared by mixing one or both of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives with, for example, gum arabic, gum tragacanth, carageenan and the like, and thereafter spray-drying the resultant mixture whereby to obtain the particular solid product. Pre-prepared flavor mixed in powder form, e.g. a fruit flavored powder mix, is obtained by mixing the dried solid components, e.g. starch, sugar and the like, and one or both of the methyl phenyl pentanol derivatives of our invention in a dry blender until the requisite degree of uniformity is achieved.

     EXAMPLE V(A) 
     Impregnated Plastics and Air Fresheners 
     Scented polyethylene pellets having a pronounced green, floral, grapefruit-like, nootkatone-animalic, leathery, vetiver-like, olibanum and musky aromas are prepared as follows. 
     75 Pounds of polyethylene having a melting point of about 220° F. is heated to about 230° F. in a container of the kind illustrated in FIGS. 9 and 10. 12.5 Pounds of 2-methyl-4-phenyl-1-pentanol (bulked fractions 9-12) prepared according to Example III, supra, are then quickly added to the liquified polyethylene. The lid 228 is put in place and the agitating means 273 are actuated. The temperature is maintained at about 225° F. and the mixing is continued for about 15 minutes. The valve &#34;V&#34; is then opened to allow flow of the molten polyethylene enriched with the 2-methyl-4-phenyl-pentanol-1-containing material through the orifices 234 (whereby such material exits through orifices 234). The liquid falling through the orifices 234 solidifies almost instantaneously upon impact with the moving cooled conveyor 238. Polyethylene beads or pellets 224 having a pronounced aroma as set forth above are thus formed. These pellets may be called &#34;master pellets&#34;. 
     50 Pounds of the aroma-containing &#34;master pellets&#34; are then added to 1000 pounds of unscented and untreated polyethylene powder and the mass is heated to the liquid state. The liquid is molded into thin sheets or films. The thin sheets or films have pronounced aromas as set forth, supra. The sheets or films are cut into strips 1/4&#34; in width×3&#34; in length and employed in standard air freshening apparatus. 
     On operation of the standard air freshening apparatus is a room air freshener, after 4 minutes, the room has an aesthetically pleasing aroma as set forth, supra. 
     EXAMPLE V(B) 
     Treated Plastics and Air Freshener 
     100 Pounds of polypropylene are heated to about 300° F. 15 Pounds of 2-methyl-4-pentanol acetate prepared according to Example IV (bulked fractions 4-6) are added to the liquified polypropylene. The procedure is carried out in the apparatus shown in FIGS. 9 and 10. After mixing for about 8 minutes, to valve &#34;V&#34; is opened to allow the exit of polypropylene mixture which has been treated with the phenylpentanol acetate, whereby solid pellets having pronounced aromas described as &#34;green, vegetative, styrallyl acetate-like&#34; are formed on the conveyor. The pellets thus obtained are then admixed with about 20 times their weight of unscented polypropylene and untreated polypropylene and the mixture is heated and molded into &#34;spaghetti&#34; tows. The &#34;spaghetti&#34; tows are cut into small cylinders approximately 0.1 inches in length×0.2 inches in diameter. The cylinders have strong and pleasant aromas as described, supra. 
     The cylinders are used in standard air freshening apparatus to produce aesthetically pleasing aromas as set forth, supra with no foul odors in environments surrounding the air freshener apparatus. 
     A portion of the cylinders are ground into small particles to be used in the deodorant stick of Example V(C), supra.

The material is kept at 120° F. under which conditions the gelatin will not jell. 
     Coacervation is induced by adding slowly and uniformly forty parts by weight of a 20% aqueous solution of sodium sulfate. During coacervation, the gelatin molecules are deposited uniformly about each oil droplet as a nucleus. 
     Gelation is effected by pouring the heated coacervate mixture into 1,000 parts by weight of a 7% aqueous solution of sodium sulfate at 65° F. The resulting jelled coacervate may be filtered and washed with water at temperatures below the melting point of gelatin to remove the salt. 
     Hardening of the filtered cake, in this example, is effected by washing with 200 parts by weight of 37% solution of formaldehyde in water. The cake is then washed to remove residual formaldehyde. 
     EXAMPLE X 
     Chewing Gum 
     One hundred parts by weight of chicle are mixed with four parts by weight of the flavor prepared in accordance with Example VIII. Three hundred parts of sucrose and one hundred parts of corn syrup are added. Mixing is effected in a ribbon blender with jacketed walls of the type manufactured by the Baker Perkins Company. 
     The resultant chewing gum blend is then manufactured into strips one inch in width and 0.1 inches in thickness. The strips are cut into lengths of three inches each. On chewing, the chewing gum has a pleasant, long-lasting grapefruit flavor. 
     EXAMPLE XI 
     Chewing Gum 
     One hundred parts by weight of chicle are mixed with eighteen parts by weight of the flavor prepared in accordance with Example IX. Three hundred parts of sucrose and one hundred parts of corn syrup are then added. Mixing is effected in a ribbon blender with jacketed walls of the type manufactured by the Baker Perkins Company. 
     The resultant chewing gum blend is then manufactured into strips one inch in width and 0.1 inches in thickness. The strips are cut into lengths of three inches each. On chewing, the chewing gum has a pleasant, long-lasting grapefruit flavor.

     Procedure: 
     1. The ingredients in Group &#34;A&#34; are stirred and heated in a steam jacketed kettle to 160° F. 
     2. Stirring is continued for an additional three to five minutes to form a homogeneous gel. 
     3. The powders of Group &#34;B&#34; are added to the gel, while mixing until a homogeneous paste is formed. 
     4. With stirring, the flavor of &#34;D&#34; is added and lastly, the sodium n-lauroyl sarcosinate. 
     5. The resultant slurry is then blended for one hour. The completed paste is then transferred to a three roller mill and then homogenized and finally tubed. 
     The resulting toothpaste, when used in a normal toothbrushing procedure, yields a pleasant grapefruit flavor of constant strong intensity throughout said procedure (1-1.5 minutes).
