Saliva-activated enzymatic odour control system for oral care
Innovative saliva-activated enzymatic system designed for continuous antimicrobial activity, reducing odour without harsh chemicals. Applicable in lozenges, chewables, and toothpaste adjuncts for sustained freshness, targeting sensitive mouths and gum health.
Overview
The saliva-activated enzymatic odour control system is a cutting-edge oral care solution designed to provide continuous antimicrobial activity that targets and reduces odour-causing compounds over time. Unlike traditional products that rely on alcohol or harsh antiseptics, this system uses a biomimetic enzyme pathway, such as the glucose oxidase–lactoperoxidase pathway, to ensure sustained freshness. This is particularly beneficial for individuals with sensitive mouths or those seeking gum health benefits. The product can be integrated into lozenges, chewables, and toothpaste adjuncts, offering a gentle yet effective approach to oral hygiene.
Technical specifications
Key features:
- Utilizes the glucose oxidase–lactoperoxidase enzymatic pathway for antimicrobial action
- Designed for continuous, mild antimicrobial activity that aligns with natural oral processes
- Potential formats include lozenges, chewables, and toothpaste adjuncts
- Avoids the use of alcohol and harsh antiseptics, making it suitable for sensitive mouths
The system is supported by multiple in vitro and clinical studies demonstrating its effectiveness in oral microbial modulation and plaque control, making it a promising solution for managing breath and volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs).
Technology readiness level
Currently at Technology Readiness Level 3, the system is in the early stages of development. The next steps include enzyme selection, stability and activity testing, formulation compatibility assessments, in vitro odour assays, short clinical feasibility studies, and sensory optimization to ensure effectiveness and consumer satisfaction.
