Mentha terpenoid profile modulation: Procter & GambleRecent Research Landscape

The precise chemical ratio of menthol, menthone, and carvone is being engineered. Controlling these specific terpenoid concentrations dictates the sensory profile and stability of the flavor system.

What technical problems is Procter & Gamble addressing in Mentha terpenoid profile modulation?

Oral microbial biofilm accumulation

(28)evidences

The presence of dicarboxylic acids and hops in oral care suggests a need to neutralize metabolic byproducts and bacterial growth. Addressing these chemical imbalances prevents halitosis and biofilm-related degradation.

Inadequate enamel mineral uptake

(9)evidences

The keywords indicate a limitation in how effectively fluoride is absorbed and how biofilms are managed during oral care. Improving uptake efficiency ensures better enamel remineralization and anti-caries efficacy.
