Abstract

The aspects presented herein provide methods and compositions for the reduction of the peroxide value of perfume ingredients, formulated perfumes, formulated body care products, formulated skin care products, formulated homecare products, essential oils, food raw materials, formulated food products, and natural extracts.

Claims

1. A method, wherein the method reduces the peroxide value (POV) of a perfume, body care product, cosmetic product, homecare product, perfumery raw material, flavored article, or food raw material, the method comprising:

a. adding an α

-oxocarboxylic acid to the perfume, body care product, cosmetic product, homecare product, perfumery raw material, flavored article, or food raw material having a first POV level;

b. mixing the α

-oxocarboxylic acid into the perfume, body care product, cosmetic product, homecare product, perfumery raw material, flavored article, or food raw material for a time sufficient to reduce the first POV level to a pre-determined second lower level; and

c. removing the α

-oxocarboxylic acid from the formulated perfume, body care product, cosmetic product, homecare product, perfumery raw material, flavored article, or food raw material having the pre-determined second lower level.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the step of removing the α

-oxocarboxylic acid from the formulated perfume, body care product, cosmetic product, homecare product, perfumery raw material, flavored article, or food raw material comprises a liquid-liquid extraction.

3. The method of claim 1, further comprising treating the formulated perfume, body care product, cosmetic product, homecare product, perfumery raw material, flavored article, or food raw material with a carbonate salt after removing the α

-oxocarboxylic acid to reduce the acidity of the formulated perfume, body care product, perfumery raw material, flavored article, or food raw material.
