摘要

Abstract

Fragrance is the core ingredient that drives the sensory experience of consumers. It is widely used in food

cosmetics

textiles and home care. However

the inherent high volatility

chemical instability and complex release behavior of fragrance molecules pose fundamental challenges to their long-term retention and performance in products. Fragrance retention technologies aim to overcome these bottlenecks by protecting aroma compounds and achieving precise and controlled release through physical or chemical means. This paper systematically reviews the complete evolution of fragrance retention technology from the first generation of physical packaging to the seventh generation of artificial intelligence driven systems. Key technological paradigms

including polymer microcapsules

stimulus response systems

dynamic covalent precursors

self-assembling nanostructures

biotechnology methods

and systems-level engineering

are discussed in depth. Based on the comprehensive analysis of representative research papers

this paper summarizes the core mechanisms

advantages and limitations of each generation of technologies

identifies current research gaps

and puts forward prospects for future development.
