PURPOSE: To enable rapid and effective discharge by the action of water by adding an activator/cyclodextrin inclusion complex having a specific particle size or less. n CONSTITUTION: A solid consumer product compsn. contains an effective amt. of an activator/cyclodextrin inclusion complex having a particle size of about 12 μm or less, pref. about 5 μm or less, more pref., about 0.05-5 μm, such as perfume, flavor, chemicals, an antibacterial agent or a bleaching agent. A cyclodextrin complex can be easily produced in a small particle form by mechanically mixing an activator component with cyclodextrin in the presence of water. The cyclodextrin contains either one of cyclodextrin such as non- substituted cyclodextrin containing 6-12 glucose groups capable of forming an inclusion complex along with a perfume component, especially, α-, β-, γ-cyclodextrins or a mixture of them and/or derivatives of them and/or a mixture of them. β-cyclodextrin is most pref. cyclodextrin obtaining the best gain due to a small particle size. n COPYRIGHT: (C)1991,JPO |
