Abstract
This two-part review offers an in-depth survey of the utilization of the theoretical method COnductor-like Screening MOdel for Realistic Solvation (COSMO-RS) in the formulation of cosmetics, fragrances, and foods. In this first part, a bibliometric analysis and mapping of scientific literature and patents are performed. They reveal that COSMO-RS primarily serves as a screening tool for generating quantitative predictions regarding the solubilization, volatility, and extraction of formulation ingredients from biomass. This analysis also identifies the most relevant COSMO-RS applications and tools available for formulation. They are presented in a concise and accessible manner for formulators and specialty chemists involved in ingredient design. Finally, a focus is made on the applications of COSMO-RS in designing and modeling innovative and sustainable solvents, such as ionic liquids and (natural) deep eutectic solvents. The second part of the article will address the practical implementation of COSMO-RS in solving key formulation challenges.
期刊介绍:
Current Opinion in Colloid and Interface Science (COCIS) is an international journal that focuses on the molecular and nanoscopic aspects of colloidal systems and interfaces in various scientific and technological fields. These include materials science, biologically-relevant systems, energy and environmental technologies, and industrial applications.
Unlike primary journals, COCIS primarily serves as a guide for researchers, helping them navigate through the vast landscape of recently published literature. It critically analyzes the state of the art, identifies bottlenecks and unsolved issues, and proposes future developments.
Moreover, COCIS emphasizes certain areas and papers that are considered particularly interesting and significant by the Editors and Section Editors. Its goal is to provide valuable insights and updates to the research community in these specialized areas.
