A
  1. Collection
  2. Extraction
  3. Blending
  4. Aging
31
Q

Before manufacturing process begins, the sources of suitable fragrances are collected in the manufacturing center.

A

Collection

32
Q

Oils are extracted from plants and other substances by several methods like steam distillation, solvent extraction, enfleurage, and expression.

A

Extraction

33
Q

Four (4) Types of Extraction

A
  1. Steam Distillation
  2. Solvent Extraction
  3. Enfleurage
  4. Expression
34
Q

It is passed through plant materials held in still, whereby the essential oil turns to gas. This gas is then passed through tubes, cooled, liquefied and collected.

A

Steam Distillation

35
Q

The flower parts are dissolved in benzene or petrolatum that retains the fragrance of the flower. Alcohol is used to dissolve the fragrance and heated to obtain it after evaporation of alcohol.

A

Solvent Extraction

36
Q

Flowers are kept in glass sheet with grease that absorb the fragrance of flowers.

A

Enfleurage

37
Q

As one of the oldest forms of extraction. This process, often used for extracting citrus oils, involves pressing the plant, either mechanically or manually, until all of the oils are extracted.

A

Expression

38
Q

Once the perfume oils are collected, they are ready to be blended together according to the formula determined by the master in the field, known as “nose”. After the scent has been created, it is mixed with alcohol. Most full perfumes are made of about 10% - 20% perfume oils dissolved in alcohol and trace of water.

A

Blending

39
Q

High quality and pure perfumes are often aged for months or potentially even years after the scent has been blended. This is done to ensure that the proper scent has been created. Aging allows the different scents, or notes, to really blend together. Perfumes are made up of top notes that provide the scent with body as well as base notes which create an enduring fragrance.

Essential Oils

42
Q

A

Fixatives

43
Q

The liquid in which the perfume oil is dissolved in is usually 98% ethanol and 2% water.

A

Solvents

44
Q

Five (5) Ingredients that can cause Allergic Reaction

A
  1. Acetone
  2. Ethyl Acetate
  3. Benzyl Alcohol
  4. Benzyl Benzoate
  5. Sandalwood
45
Q

This requires good instrumentation such as capillary gas chromatography and possibly with coupled mass spectrometer. Also good manufacturing practice (GMP) in storage, production and finishing area is important.

A

Quality Control

46
Q

Two (2) Types of Quality Control

A
  1. Thermal Stability
  2. Photosensitivity
47
Q

Destruction of perfume molecules is proportionally related to increase in temperature. Accelerated storage test, as the measure of the stability of the product and its fragrance over the much longer period of its shelf life, in the much cooler environment of its storage and use.

A

Thermal Stability

48
Q

It is frequently used during manufacture but the temperature must be closely controlled to maximize the efficiency of the process without causing decomposition of the product.

A

Heat

49
Q

Sunlight and to the lesser extent the ordinary forms of artificial light, are in general harmful to aromatic materials, and perfumed products of all kinds, which must therefore be protected from light at all times.

A

Photosensitivity

50
Q
