PROCESS DESCRIPTIONPERFUMEPerfumeorparfumis a mixture of fragrantessential oilsoraroma compounds,fixativesandsolventsused to give the human body, animals, food, objects, and living spaces "a pleasantscent.Perfumes are mainly alcohol based or non-alcoholic. Alcohol is mixed with the oil is to make the perfume smell stronger. This is especially done to some fragrance type which contains low perfumes oil.

Perfume oils usually contain tens to hundreds of ingredients and these are typically organized in a perfume for the specific role they will play. These ingredients can be roughly grouped into four groups:Primary Scents :ModifiersBlendersFixatives

BASIC FRAMEWORKThe top, middle, and base notes of a fragrance may have separate primary scents and supporting ingredients. The perfume's fragrance oils are then blended withethyl alcoholand water, aged in tanks for several weeks and filtered through processing equipment to, respectively allow the perfume ingredients in the mixture to stabilize and to remove any sediment and particles before the solution can be filled into the perfume bottles.

Gas Chromatography/ Mass Spectroscopy is basically used in order to to identify different substances within a test sample. It is an analytical method used to identifytrace elementsin materials.Ingredients and compounds can usually be ruled out or identified usingGas Chromatograph(GC) smellers, which allow individual chemical components to be identified both through their physical properties and their scent.The difficulty of GC/MS analysis arises due to the complexity of a perfume's ingredients. This is particularly due to the presence of natural essential oils and other ingredients consisting of complex chemical mixtures.IMMUNOLOGICALSome fragrances can cause asthmatic reactions in some individuals, especially those with severe or atopic asthma. Many fragrance ingredients can also cause headaches, allergic skin reactionsor nausea. In some cases, an excessive use of perfumes may causeallergicreactions of the skin. HEALTH ISSUESCARCINOGENITYThere is scientific evidence that nitro-musks such asmusk xylenecan cause cancer while common ingredients, like certain polycyclicsynthetic musk's, can disrupt the balance of hormones in the human body

TOXICITYCertain chemicals found in perfume are often toxic, at least for small insects if not for humans. For example the compound Tricyclodecenyl allyl ether is often found in synthetic perfumesand hasinsect repellentproperty.

POLLUTIONDue to the large-scale use of laundry detergents and many personal cleaning products, several types of synthetic musks have been found in human fat and milk, as well as in the sediments and waters of theGreat Lakes. These pollutants may pose additional health and environmental problems when they enter human and animal diets.

ENVIRONMENT ISSUESSPECIES ENDANGERMENTThe demands for aromatic materials like sandalwood, agar wood, musk has led to the endangerment of these species as well as illegal trafficking and harvesting.SAFETY REGULATION Due to the need for protection of trade secrets, companies rarely give the full listing of ingredients regardless of their effects on health.

PRODUCTION OF COCONUT OILCoconut oilis anedible oilextracted from the kernel or meat of maturedcoconutsharvested from the coconut palm (Cocos nucifera). It has various applications in food, medicine, and industry.

DRY PROCESSCoconut oil can be extracted through "dry" or "wet" processing. Dry processing requires the meat to be extracted from the shell and dried using fire, sunlight, orkilnsto createcopra. The copra is pressed or dissolved withsolvents, producing the coconut oil and a high-protein, high-fibermash. PRODUCTIONWET PROCESSThe all-wet process uses raw coconut rather than dried copra, and the protein in the coconut creates an emulsionof oil and water. Despite numerous variations and technologies, wet processing is less viable than dry processing due to a 1015% lower yield, Wet processes also require investment of equipment and energy, incurring high capital and operating costs.

RBDThe dried copra is placed in ahydraulic presswith added heat and the oil is extracted. This yields up practically all the oil present, amounting to more than 60% of the dry weight of the coconut.This "crude" coconut oil is not suitable for consumption because it contains contaminants and must be refined with further heating and filtering.HYDROGENATIIONIn the process of hydrogenation, unsaturated fats (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids) are combined with hydrogen in a catalytic process to make them more saturated. FRACTIONATIONFractionated coconut oil is a fraction of the whole oil, in which the different medium-chain fatty acids are separated for specific uses.Medium-chain triglyceridessuch as caprylic/capric triglyceride oil are most frequently used for medical applications, special diets, and cosmetics, sometimes also being used as a carrier oil for fragrances.

IN FOODCoconut oil is commonly used in cooking.Hydrogenatedor partially hydrogenated coconut oil is often used innon-dairy creamers.

INDUSTRYCoconut oil has been tested for use as a feedstock forbiodieselto be used as adiesel enginefuel.

USESCoconut oil has been tested for use as anengine lubricant and as atransformer oil.Acids derived from coconut oil can be used asherbicides.Coconut oil (and derivatives, such as coconut fatty acid) are used as raw materials in the manufacture ofsurfactantssuch ascocamidopropyl betaine,cocamide MEA, andcocamide DEA.

PERSONAL USESCoconut oil can be used as a skinmoisturizer, helping withdry skin and reduces protein loss when used in hairCoconut oil is an important base ingredient for the manufacture of soap.A repellent made from coconut oil can be used to preventtungiasis-causingsand fleasfrom invading the body.
