In a time variation of reaction time in the vigilance test, although reaction time increases with lapse of time in every group, increase degree of reaction time is slightly small in the groups presented with low concentration bornyl acetate-containing air (gray black circle) and high concentration bornyl acetate-containing air (black circle).COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】身体の緊張を緩和させ、リラックス効果の高い香料組成物を提供する。【解決手段】酢酸ボルニルと、ヒノキ精油、ユズ精油、ヒバ精油およびこれらの2以上の混合物からなる群より選択される精油とを含有する香料組成物。ヒジランス試験における反応時間の時間変動において、いずれの群も、時間の経過とともに反応時間は増加するが、低濃度(灰黒丸)酢酸ボルニル含有空気ならびに高濃度(黒丸)を提示された群は反応時間の増加の度合いが若干小さい。【選択図】図3b
