Title: Single dose saccharide-based scent boosting packs

Description:
TECHNICAL FIELD 
     The present disclosure generally relates to a single dose pack that includes a scent boosting composition, and methods of forming both the composition and the pack. More specifically, the scent boosting composition includes a fragrance, a saccharide, a surfactant, and water. 
     BACKGROUND 
     Many consumers prefer strong and long-lasting scents on their laundry even weeks after washing. In laundry applications, it is desirable to enhance the consumer experience by releasing scent at different consumer contact points. Current commercial products do not provide long-lasting, strong to intermediate scent after washing at a reasonable price in a single dose pack. 
     Many current scent boosting compositions in single dose are in solid form and include sodium chloride as a filler. Scent boosting compositions in single dose liquid form are not common. Typical single dose liquid form packs are detergent based and include solvents such as glycerin, propylene glycol and polyethylene glycol as well as surfactants such as alcohol ethoxylates, SLES, fatty acids and LAS form the majority of the formulations disposed therein. However, all of these materials are expensive as compared to the cost of sodium chloride. For this reason, liquid scent boosting compositions tend to be too expensive to produce. Furthermore, when these solvents and surfactants are removed from the formulations, other compounds must be used in their place. However, many of these other compounds, such as water, tend to cause significant film instabilities such as floppiness, pack leakage, pack fusion, insolubility, etc. 
     Accordingly, there remains an opportunity to develop a single dose pack that performs well, is stable, resists premature degradation, and includes a scent boosting composition. Furthermore, other desirable features and characteristics of the present disclosure will become apparent from the subsequent detailed description of the disclosure and the appended claims, taken in conjunction this background of the disclosure. 
     SUMMARY 
     This disclosure provides a single dose pack that includes a container including a water-soluble film and a single dose scent boosting composition encapsulated within the container. The single dose scent boosting composition includes about 0.1 to about 10 weight percent of a fragrance based on a total weight of the scent-boosting composition, about 45 to about 75 weight percent of a saccharide based on a total weight of the scent-boosting composition, about 0.1 to about 6 weight percent of a surfactant based on a total weight of the scent-boosting composition; and about 10 to about 25 weight percent of water based on a total weight of the scent-boosting composition. In one embodiment, the single dose scent boosting composition also includes non-aqueous solvent present in an amount of from about 5 to about 30 weight percent based on a total weight of the composition. 
     This disclosure also provides the single dose scent boosting composition itself and a method of forming the single dose scent boosting composition. The method includes the step of combining the fragrance, the saccharide, the surfactant, and the water to form the single dose scent boosting composition. 
     The single dose scent boosting composition exhibits superior and unexpected results. More specifically, the use of a saccharide surprisingly allows for large amounts of water to be included in single dose packs which, in turn, allows for simplified formulations to be produced, less chemicals to be used, less chemical waste to be generated, and decreased production costs to be realized. Moreover, use of a small amount of a non-aqueous solvent, such as polyethylene glycol, in conjunction with the saccharide, even further synergistically improves the stability of the packs which allows the packs to be used in a wider variety of environments and reduces premature breakdown and release of contents.

     DETAILED DESCRIPTION 
     The following detailed description is merely exemplary in nature and is not intended to limit the disclosure. Furthermore, there is no intention to be bound by any theory presented in the preceding background or the following detailed description. 
     Embodiments of the present disclosure are generally directed to single dose scent boosting compositions and methods for forming the same. For the sake of brevity, conventional techniques related to single dose scent boosting compositions may not be described in detail herein. Moreover, the various tasks and process steps described herein may be incorporated into a more comprehensive procedure or process having additional steps or functionality not described in detail herein. In particular, various steps in the manufacture of single dose scent boosting compositions are well-known and so, in the interest of brevity, many conventional steps will only be mentioned briefly herein or will be omitted entirely without providing the well-known process details. 
     Single Dose Pack: 
     This disclosure provides a single dose pack that includes a container including a water-soluble film and a single dose scent boosting composition encapsulated within the container, each as described below. 
     A single dose pack can be formed by encapsulating the single dose scent boosting composition within the container, wherein the container includes a film. In some embodiments, the film forms one half or more of the container, where the container may also include dyes or other components. In some embodiments, the film is water soluble such that the film will completely dissolve when an exterior of the film is exposed to water, such as in a washing machine typically used for laundry. When the film dissolves, the container is ruptured and the contents are released. As used herein, “water soluble” means at least 2 grams of the solute (the film in one example) will dissolve in 5 liters of solvent (water in one example,) for a solubility of at least 0.4 grams per liter (g/l), at a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius (° C.) unless otherwise specified. Suitable films for packaging are completely soluble in water at temperatures of about 5° C. or greater. 
     In various embodiments, the film is desirably strong, flexible, shock resistant, and non-tacky during storage at both high and low temperatures and high and low humidities. In one embodiment, the film is initially formed from polyvinyl acetate, and at least a portion of the acetate functional groups are hydrolyzed to produce alcohol groups. The film may include polyvinyl alcohol (PVOH), and may include a higher concentration of PVOH than polyvinyl acetate. Such films are commercially available with various levels of hydrolysis, and thus various concentrations of PVOH, and in an exemplary embodiment the film initially has about 85 percent of the acetate groups hydrolyzed to alcohol groups. Some of the acetate groups may further hydrolyze in use, so the final concentration of alcohol groups may be higher than the concentration at the time of packaging. The film may have a thickness of from about 25 to about 200 microns (μm), or from about 45 to about 100 μm, or from about 70 to about 90 μm in various embodiments. The film may include alternate materials in some embodiments, such as methyl hydroxy propyl cellulose and polyethylene oxide. In various non-limiting embodiments, all values, both whole and fractional, between and including all of the above, are hereby expressly contemplated for use herein. 
     The single dose pack may be formed from a container having a single section, but the single dose pack may be formed from containers with two or more different sections in alternate embodiments. In embodiments with a container having two or more sections, the contents of the different sections may or may not be the same.

     Saccharide: 
     The saccharide is present in the composition in an amount of from about 45 to about 75 weight percent based on a total weight of the composition. In various embodiments, the saccharide is present in an amount of from about 50 to about 70, about 55 to about 65, or about 60 to about 65, weight percent based on a total weight of the composition. As is known in the art, some saccharides are provided from the manufacturer as a solution of the saccharide and water. Such a solution may include a single saccharide or more than one saccharide. The aforementioned weight percentages describe the weight of the saccharide (or the total weight of the more than one saccharide) without the water. In other words, if about 92 weight percent of a saccharide solution is used to form the composition of this disclosure, such a solution may only include about 67 to about 72 weight percent of the saccharide with the rest of the solution (e.g. about 20 to about 25 weight percent) being water. In various embodiments, the saccharide may include any amount of water as is known in the art, including, but not limited to, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, or more, weight percent based on a total weight of a solution including the saccharide and the water. In various non-limiting embodiments, all values, both whole and fractional, between and including all of the above, are hereby expressly contemplated for use herein. 
     The saccharide may be any known in the art. In various embodiments, the saccharide is chosen from fructose, glucose, sucrose, xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol, erythritol, dulcitol, inositol, adonitol, tagatose, trehalose, galactose, rhamnose, cyclodextrin, maltodextrin, dextran, ribulose, fructose, threose, arabinose, xylose, lyxose, allose, altrose, mannose, idose, lactose, maltose, invert sugar, isotrehalose, neotrehalose, palatinose or isomaltulose, erythrose, deoxyribose, gulose, idose, talose, erythrulose, xylulose, psicose, turanose, cellobiose, amylopectin, glucosamine, mannosamine, fucose, glucuronic acid, gluconic acid, glucono-lactone, abequose, galactosamine, beet oligosaccharides, isomalto-oligosaccharides, xylo-oligosaccharides, gentio-oligoscaccharides, sorbose, nigero-oligosaccharides, palatinose oligosaccharides, fucose, fractooligosaccharides, maltotetraol, maltotriol, malto-oligosaccharides, lactulose, melibiose, raffinose, rhamnose, ribose, high fructose corn/starch syrup, coupling sugars, soybean oligosaccharides, or glucose syrup, or a mixture thereof. In other embodiments, the saccharide is chosen from fructose, glucose, and combinations thereof. 
     In one embodiment, the saccharide is high fructose corn syrup (HFCS), which may be any known in the art. The terminology “high” is as understood by those of skill in the art and typically describes that a majority of the syrup comprises fructose as opposed to other sugars such as glucose or sucrose. For example, the high fructose corn syrup may be a blend of approximately 23% water and 77% saccharide. For example, HFCS 55 typically describes a blend of water (about 23%), glucose (about 34%), and fructose (about 42%). However, in a dried form, HFCS 55 includes approximately 55% fructose by weight of dry HFCS. Similarly, HFCS 42 includes approximately 42% fructose by weight of dry HFCS. HFCS 65 includes approximately 65% fructose by weight of dry HFCS. HFCS 90 includes approximately 90% fructose by weight of dry HFCS. This disclosure may utilize one or more of these saccharides alone or in one or more combinations with one another. 
     HFCS is typically a wet blend which includes water, as it is supplied from HFCS manufacturers. However, it should be understood that dry or essentially dry hybrids of monosaccharides (e.g. HFCS), wherein water has been removed partially or completely, can also be used. While pure fructose is very viscous and hard to handle, HFCS is more diluted and easier to handle. HFCS is also more cost-effective to manufacture. 
     Surfactant: 
     The composition includes the surfactant in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 6 weight percent based on a total weight of the composition. In various embodiments, the surfactant is present in an amount of from about 0.5 to about 5.5, about 1 to about 5, about 1.5 to about 4.5, about 2 to about 4, about 2.5 to about 3.5, or about 3 to about 3.5, weight percent based on a total weight of the composition. In various non-limiting embodiments, all values, both whole and fractional, between and including all of the above, are hereby expressly contemplated for use herein. 
     The surfactant may be singular or a combination of two or more surfactants. Any one or more of the surfactants used herein may be anionic, cationic, non-ionic, or zwitterionic, or any combination thereof.

     In Table 1 above, the components are as follows: 
     Saccharide is High Fructose Corn Syrup 55 which includes a content of water from the manufacturer. High Fructose Corn Syrup 55 typically includes a blend of water (about 23%), glucose (about 34%), and fructose (about 42%). However, in a dried form, High Fructose Corn Syrup 55 includes approximately 55% fructose by weight of dry HFCS. 
     Additional Water Added to Composition refers to an additional amount of water added to the composition over and above the amount of water present in the Saccharide provided by the manufacturer. 
     Maxwell Pop ACM 259366 MHB2915 is an encapsulated fragrance. This fragrance is a neat oil encapsulated in a melamine-formaldehyde shell and supplied as a slurry of approximately 70% by weight of water and approximately 30% by weight of the encapsulated fragrance. 
     Encapsulated Fragrance PREMIX refers to a diluted version of the aforementioned slurry. For this Premix, the aforementioned slurry of approximately 70% by weight of water and approximately 30% by weight of the encapsulated fragrance is diluted 1:1 with additional water. Accordingly, this dilution results in a slurry of approximately 85% by weight of water and approximately 15% by weight of the encapsulated fragrance. 
     Bitrex is a bittering additive, which is a 25% active solution in water. 
     Surfactant is a C 12 -C 15  Alcohol Ethoxylate that is capped with approximately 7 moles of ethylene oxide. 
     Stability refers to observed stability of a single chamber pack formed using Monosol M8312 film that is 76 microns thick and 20 grams of each Composition per pack. Stability refers to visual and tactile observation of no floppiness of the pack, no pack leakage, no pack fusion, no observable insolubility of the components in the pack, and no observable phase separation of the components in the pack. 
     As shown in Table 1, there are two grouping of data. The first grouping focuses on use of a fragrance as a neat oil (See Compositions 1-4). The second grouping focuses on use of a fragrance as a neat oil and also fragrance as an encapsulated oil (See Compositions 5-10). 
     Composition 1 utilizes High Fructose Corn Syrup 55 and a surfactant. The results associated with using Composition 1 are that a stable pack can be formed, as set forth in  FIG. 1 . 
     Composition 2 is comparative because it does not utilize a surfactant. The results associated with using Composition 2 are that a stable pack can be formed but there is visual phase separation of the neat fragrance oil from the water in the pack, as also set forth in  FIG. 1 . Over time, this leads to degeneration of the pack which makes it unsuitable for commercial use. 
     Compositions 3 and 4 are comparative because they do not utilize the high fructose corn syrup and instead add additional water, glycerine, and propylene glycol to the pack to back fill and replace what would be the high fructose corn syrup in the examples of this disclosure. The results associated with using Compositions 3 and 4 are that stable packs cannot be formed. Said differently, the packs formed using Compositions 3 and 4 are not structurally sound and breakdown prior to use. Accordingly, they are not suitable for manufacture, storage, and eventual use. 
     Compositions 5 and 6 are representative of this disclosure and using varying amounts of the high fructose corn syrup. The difference between Compositions 5 and 6 is the way the fragrance is formed and utilized. Composition 5 utilizes an encapsulated fragrance wherein the fragrance is utilized as a slurry. Composition 6 uses the same encapsulated fragrance except that it is made using a premixture at a 1:1 weight ratio of the slurry with water. 
     Relative to Compositions 1, 5, and 6, the fragrance, saccharide, surfactant, and water are present in a weight ratio of: about 5:about 71:about 3:about 21, respectively; about 4:about 71:about 3:about 22, respectively; or about 6:about 67: about 3:about 24, respectively. These weight ratios produce superior and unexpected results as described in greater detail below. 
     Compositions 7-10 are comparative and not representative of this disclosure for various reasons. Compositions 7 and 8 mirror Compositions 5 and 6, respectively, except that they do not utilize the high fructose corn syrup and instead utilize additional water and include glycerine to back fill and replace what would be the high fructose corn syrup in Compositions 5 and 6. 
     Compositions 9 and 10 also mirror Compositions 5 and 6, respectively, except that they do not utilize the high fructose corn syrup and instead utilize additional water and include propylene glycol to back fill and replace what would be the high fructose corn syrup in Compositions 5 and 6. 
     In additional Examples that are each representative of various embodiments of this disclosure, additional compositions (A-E) below are formed using the components set forth below in Table 2.

     Relative to Table 2, the same descriptions of the components apply as is set forth above relative to Table 1. 
     Polyethylene Glycol 400 has an approximate weight average molecular weight of 400 g/mol. 
     Pack Height (inches) refers to data measured after the packs rested for 1 hr. at 25° C. after formation. The packs are formed using 20 g of one of the Compositions A-E encapsulated in Monosol M8312 film that is 76 microns thick. The height of the pack is indicative of how much the pack has softened, broken down, plasticized, and/or dissolved as a result of the Compositions disposed therein. A pack with no softening, break down, etc. has a higher pack height and is firm to the touch. A pack with softening and break down begins to sag and is soft to the touch. Therefore, higher pack heights are indicative of less breakdown of the film and are preferred. 
     The Compositions A-E all exhibit excellent pack heights. In other words, these packs exhibit minimal softening, break down, plasticizing, and/or premature dissolution. Relative to Compositions A and B, the fragrance, saccharide, surfactant, and water are present in a weight ratio of: about 5:about 65:about 3:about 23, respectively; or about 5:about 71:about 3:about 21, respectively. Relative to Compositions C-E, the saccharide, non-aqueous solvent, fragrance, and surfactant are present in a weight ratio of: about 67:about 5:about 5:about 3, respectively; about 59:about 15:about 5:about 3, respectively; or about 52:about 25:about 5:about 3, respectively. These weight ratios produce superior and unexpected results as described in greater detail below. 
     In addition, Compositions 3 and 4, as set forth above in Table 1, were also evaluated to determine Pack Height. These Compositions did not form stable packs such that pack height could not even be evaluated. In other words, the films used to form packs that included Compositions 3 and 4 dissolved and/or broke down before viable packs could be formed. Therefore, such packs are not useable or suitable for pack height measurement. Accordingly, the Compositions A-E are far superior in this regard. 
     The aforementioned results show the use of a saccharide surprisingly allows for large amounts of water to be included in single dose packs. For example, the Compositions of this disclosure include water contents of above about 21 wt % and yet can still be used to form packs that are stable (see, e.g. Composition 1). This water content is approximately 50% higher than standard water contents of known commercial examples that include, at most, about 14 wt % of water. This increase in water content is unexpected, superior, and important because use of water allows for simplified formulations to be produced, less chemicals to be used, less chemical waste to be generated, and decreased production costs to be realized. 
     Moreover, the aforementioned results show that use of a small amount of a non-aqueous solvent, such as propylene glycol, even further improves the stability of the packs (see, e.g. Compositions C, D, and E). This synergistic action of the saccharide and the non-aqueous solvent is unexpected, superior, and important for all of the aforementioned reasons and further because the packs are even more stable (see pack heights of 0.90 and 0.91). This increased stability allows the packs to be used in a wider variety of environments and reduces premature breakdown and release of contents.
