SCIENCE BEHIND MICRO ENCAPSULATED FRAGRANCES
At Botanical Innovations we continually explore new AROMATIC COMPOUNDS, TECHNIQUES and TECHNOLOGIES to enhance our understanding of scents to CREATE INNOVATIVE FRAGRANCE EXPERIENCES. We combine the disciplines of CHEMISTRY, BIOLOGY, SENSORY SCIENT and PSYCHOLOGY to help our customers DEVELOP FRAGRANCES that EVOKE EMOTIONS, ENHANCE PRODUCTS and ENRICH OUR SENSORY WORLD.
The SCIENCE OF FRAGRANCE, also known as fragrance chemistry or perfumery, is a branch of chemistry that focuses on understanding the CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS responsible for the sense of SMELL and the creation of FRAGRANCES. Our FRAGRANCE SCIENTISTS explore the COMPOSITION, SYNTHESIS, and INTERACTIONS OF AROMATIC MOLECULES to develop our unique micro encapsulated fragrances and ingredients.
Botanical Innovations Micro encapsulated Fragrances and Ingredients have been created through careful analysis and development of AROMATIC COMPOUNDS, OLFACTORY PERCEPTION, FRAGRANCE, EXTRACTION, STABILITY and APPLICATIONS.
AROMATIC COMPOUNDS
Fragrances are composed of a wide variety of aromatic compounds, which are chemicals that have distinct odours. Botanical Innovations aromatic compounds are derived from natural sources, such as FLOWERS, WOODS, FRUITS, HERBS AND SPICES. Our distinct aromatic compounds typically consist of COMPLEX ORGANIC MOLECULES that contain specific functional groups, such as ALDEHYDES, KETONES, ESTERS and TERPINES.
OLFACTORY PERCEPTION
At Botanical Innovations we understand the Science of Fragrance science involves UNDERSTANDING HOW OUR SENCE OF SMELL WORKS. When we encounter a fragrance, volatile molecules are released from the scented source and reach the olfactory receptors in our nose. These receptors detect the odour molecules and send signals to the brain, where they are processed to create a perception of smell. Different aromatic compounds activate different receptors, resulting in the unique scent profiles we perceive.
FRAGRANCE
Botanical Innovations has combined art and science to create our unique fragrances suitable for a variety of commercial applications.
EXTRACTION
Botanical Innovations aromatic compounds are extracted from plant materials using techniques steam distillation, hydro distillation, ethanol extraction, vacuum extraction technologies to CAPTURE THE VOLATILE FRAGRANCE MOLECULES which are then gently MICRO ENCAPSULATED into FINE POWDERS.
STABILITY
Our fragrance compounds undergo stability testing to assess how Botanical Innovations fragrances withstand TEMPERATURE, LIGHT EXPOSURE, and OXIDATION which can impact on the fragrance ingredients aromatic odour profile.
APPLICATIONS
Botanical Innovations fragrant micro encapsulated powders are suitable for a wide variety of applications including nutraceutical, foods and beverages, cosmetic, hair care and beauty applications, aromatherapy and consumer goods applications.
