Abstract
The solubilization of two binary perfume systems (eugenol-linalool and eugenol-d-limonene) by sodium dodecyl sulfate was determined in terms of solubilizing capacity (SC) of the surfactant. The experimental SC of each perfume in an eugenol-linalool system was almost equal to the ideal SC. In eugenol-d-limonene system, however, the SC of eugenol and d-limonene differed positively from the ideal SC of the perfumes. This result would be attributed to the change in micellar structure (micellar diameter) caused by the solubilization of these perfumes and to the location of the perfumes in the micelle.
