Ever wondered what helps give bananas their scent or perfumes a fruity kick? 🍌🍓

It’s thanks to esterification, where an acid meets an alcohol to form an ester and water. From flavors and fragrances to biodiesel and plastics, esters link chemistry to daily life in surprising ways.

Speaking of #Fragrances as I just was with a friend, today when out and about in 2 different places I smelled the same warm woody type of fragrance I mean the exact same fragrance in 2 different locations nowhere near each other. I can't decide if it's a trendy perfume people are buying, a strongly scented laundry product, or some air freshening product being used in public buildings. It wasn't unpleasant by any means but was stronger than I thought people would like in a public space due to the sensitivities some have to such things.

Ubiquity, Hazardous Effects, and Risk Assessment of #Fragrances in #Consumer Products

Published online 2021 Jan 23.

Purpose of review

The main aims of #fragrances are to create pleasing scents or to mask unpleasant odors. We hereby review their main exposure sources, presumed benefits, and unwanted effects, with special attention to #allergic contact #dermatitis (prevalence, regulatory environment, risk assessment methodology, and preventive measures).

Recent findings

"Fragrances elicit positive emotions and presumably have therapeutic benefits related to stress reduction and memory enhancement. However, they also cause detrimental health or environmental effects including contact dermatitis (irritant and/or allergic), non-eczematous contact reactions, photosensitivity, photo-allergy, and immediate contact reactions, which can negatively impact the quality of life.

"Fragrances are the most frequent chemicals causing contact dermatitis. Their main sources are #cosmetics, household products, industrial substances, food #flavorings, oral hygiene products, and topical medications. It is difficult for sensitized patients to avoid contact with fragrances, due to their ubiquity and because #manufacturers are not willing to volunteer information regarding fragrance ingredients.

Summary

The treatment of contact dermatitis relies on allergens avoidance which does not “cure” the disease (sensitization persists for life) but prevents disabling illness. The patient should understand that avoiding perfume means to avoid all scented goods and not just perfumes.

Labeling fragrances is key in primary prevention (by giving the healthy individual the chance to make an informed choice to avoid risky substances), diagnosis (by helping the practitioner to plan and interpret patch tests), secondary prevention, and prognosis (by allowing the sensitized patient to follow the avoidance instructions). However, only 26 fragrances are mandatory to be declared in cosmetics. The vague labeling of other fragrance ingredients as “perfume” or “fragrance” hampers the diagnostic and preventive approaches. Therefore, in our opinion, declaration should be mandatory for all fragrance ingredients as well as straightforward so most consumers can understand it. Moreover, legislation should be improved to prevent inappropriately high exposures by forbidding stronger allergens, restricting maximum concentrations in the finished product or fields of application, delivering information regarding the risks to the general public, and controlling the compliance of manufacturers with the regulations. Besides, manufacturers should share information regarding the composition in the final products and provide physicians with samples of all fragrance chemicals whenever needed for patch test investigations."
