Thiol stabilization and capture matrix: UnileverRecent Research Landscape

Volatile and reactive sulfur compounds degrade product shelf-life and cause odor issues. These innovations utilize specific chemical capture and stabilization mechanisms to immobilize thiols.

What technical problems is Unilever addressing in Thiol stabilization and capture matrix?

Malodorous thiol emission

(13)evidences

Standard hygiene products fail to prevent the transfer and retention of volatile sulfur compounds on fabric surfaces. Addressing this limitation prevents long-term scent degradation in worn garments.

Thiol degradation during sampling

(1)evidences

Thiols are highly susceptible to rapid oxidation and evaporative loss during sampling and storage. Preventing these degradation pathways ensures accurate chemical quantification and long-term sample integrity.
