Unexpectedly enhanced pigments compositions and processes

Abstract

Better than expected or empirically predicted odorant blends which contain one or more pigments, where the pigment influences the perceived identity of the odorants origin, such as an origin that is apple, lime, or grape, or where the pigment influences the preference for or nature of the perceived aroma, or influences an odor-associated flavor that may be evoked by the odorant, such as that of fruitiness, sweetness, sourness, or bitterness.

 the odorant blend comprises at least 5 terpenes selected from the group consisting of limonene, beta-pinene, beta-caryophyllene, beta-myrcene, linalool, alpha-humulene, alpha-bisabolol, alpha-pinene, terpinolene, and caryophyllene-oxide; and 
 the color from the light emitting diode acts by synesthesia to increase perception of the identity or enjoyment of the odor or the flavor of the odorant blend by a human subject. 
   
     
     
         10 . The device according to  claim 9 , wherein the aerosol emitted by the device is perceived as having a color. 
     
     
         11 . The device according to  claim 9 , wherein the material in the chamber is perceived as having a color. 
     
     
         12 . The device according to  claim 11 , wherein the color of the light emitting diode increases perception of odor or flavor of the aerosol by a human subject. 
     
     
         13 . The device according to  claim 9 , wherein the aerosol has an odor. 
     
     
         14 . The device according to  claim 9 , wherein the aerosol has a flavor. 
     
     
         15 . The device according to  claim 9 , wherein the formulation further comprises at least one cannabinoid. 
     
     
         16 . The device according to  claim 9 , wherein the formulation comprises 0% to 15% terpenes, and 0% to 95%cannabinoids. 
     
     
         17 . A device comprising:
 (i) a light emitting diode that emits a color;   (ii) a power source; and   (iv) a surface that heats to place material to be vaporized;   wherein the device emits a vapor and wherein material on the surface comprises an odorant blend comprising an odor and a flavor;   wherein
 the odorant blend comprises at least 5 terpenes selected from the group consisting of limonene, beta-pinene, beta-caryophyllene, beta-myrcene, linalool, alpha-humulene, alpha-bisabolol, alpha-pinene, terpinolene, and caryophyllene-oxide; and 
 the color from the light emitting diode acts by synesthesia to increase perception of the identity or enjoyment of the odor or the flavor of the odorant blend by a human subject.
