The present invention provides a sustained-release aromatic, characterized in that the aromatic comprises at least one perfume derivative as an active component selected from glycosides of perfumes, phosphoric acid ester derivatives of perfumes, amino acid derivatives of perfumes and carboxylic acid derivatives of perfumes, and contains no enzyme or acid which decomposes the perfume derivative, wherein the perfume derivative is decomposed by bacteria usually present on the skin or yeast to release a perfume component to exhibit aroma. The present invention also provides a method for the detection of micro-organisms using the aforesaid sustained-release aromatic. As the sustained-release aromatic of the present invention releases a perfume component only when it is decomposed by micro-organisms such as bacteria usually present on the skin or yeast, the amount of perfumes to be used can be extremely reduced. The sustained-release aromatic of the present invention is also excellent in keeping aroma. The stability with the passage of time of the sustained-release aromatic of the present invention is much better than that of the prior art because the perfume component is contained in the form of derivative. The sustained-release aromatic of the present invention is useful for applications on the skin, head skin or hair of human beings or animals, on clothes, or in drinks and foods, or as an indicator for detecting micro-organisms.
本发明提供了一种缓释芳香剂,其特征在于该芳香剂包含至少一种香水衍生物作为活性成分,该香水衍生物选自香水的糖苷、香水的磷酸酯衍生物、香水的氨基酸衍生物和香水的羧酸衍生物,并且不含有分解香水衍生物的酶或酸,其中香水衍生物被通常存在于皮肤上的细菌或酵母分解,释放出香水成分,从而表现出芳香。本发明还提供了一种使用上述缓释芳香剂检测微生物的方法。由于本发明的缓释芳香剂只有在被通常存在于皮肤或酵母上的细菌等微生物分解时才会释放香水成分,因此可以大大减少香水的用量。本发明的缓释芳香剂在保持芳香方面也非常出色。由于香水成分以衍生物的形式存在,本发明的缓释芳香剂随着时间推移的稳定性比现有技术要好得多。本发明的缓释芳香剂可用于人或动物的皮肤、头皮或毛发、衣服、饮料和食品,或用作检测微生物的指示剂。
