First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method of reducing light-induced oxidation of a formulated perfume, wherein the formulated perfume is a hydroalcoholic solution, or a perfumery raw material, wherein the formulated perfume or the perfumery raw material comprises a dye, the dye being selected from the group consisting of Red 4, Red 33, Yellow 5, Yellow 6, and Orange 4, and wherein the reduction of the light-induced oxidation reduces a discoloration of the formulated perfume or perfumery raw material, the method comprising: adding at least one α-oxocarboxylic acid, wherein the at least one α-oxocarboxylic acid is α-ketoglutaric acid, and at least one stabilizer, wherein the at least one stabilizer is a mixture of butyl methoxydibenzoyl methane, ethylhexyl methoxycinnamate, ethylhexyl salicylate, and tris (tetramethylhydroxypiperidinol) citrate, to the formulated perfume or the perfumery raw material in an amount sufficient to reduce the light-induced oxidation of the formulated perfume or the perfumery raw material, wherein the reduction of the light-induced oxidation reduces a discoloration of the formulated perfume or perfumery raw material. 2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising adjusting the pH of the formulated perfume or the perfumery raw material to a pH ranging from 5 to 7.5. 3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the concentration of the at least one stabilizer in the formulated perfume or the perfumery raw material ranges from 0.01 wt % to 2 wt %. 4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the amount sufficient of the at least one α-oxocarboxylic acid is a concentration ranging from 0.0001 weight percent to 10 weight percent, based on the total weight of the formulated perfume or the perfumery raw material. 5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one α-oxocarboxylic acid is added to the formulated perfume or perfumery raw material as a salt selected from the group consisting of: an organic salt, and a salt of a mono or divalent cation. 6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the formulated perfume is a fine perfume, an Eau de Toilette, a cologne or an after-shave lotion.
