Abstract
The present invention relates to a principle of formulation and use of compositions based on capsaicinoids of natural and/or synthetic origin or the like, in particular based on capsaicin, for defensive and/or protective use. The invention also relates to methods and devices for producing and/or projecting such compositions.

1-29. (canceled)
A repellent and/or incapacitating storage concentrated fluid composition for defensive and/or protective use, comprising:
- one or more repellent and/or incapacitating agents, comprising capsaicinoids and/or vanilloids present at a first amount that is less than or equal to 20% by weight relative to the total weight of said composition, and being in the form either of an extract of at least partially de-oiled oleoresin, in solid form, or in the form of crystalline and/or amorphous powder, and
- at least one water-soluble oil, preferably castor oil or one of its derivatives.
The composition according to 33, wherein a final capsaicinoid amount in the second use formulation is equivalent to the storage capsaicinoid in the first amount of said storage concentrated composition.
A process for preparing a storage concentrated fluid composition comprising
- one or more repellent and/or incapacitating agents, comprising capsaicinoids and/or vanilloids present at a first amount that is less than or equal to 20% by weight relative to the total weight of said composition, and being in the form either of an extract of at least partially de-oiled oleoresin, in solid form, or in the form of crystalline and/or amorphous powder, and at least one water-soluble oil, preferably castor oil or one of its derivatives, with a capsaicinoid and/or vanilloid in the first amount for defensive and/or protective use, the process comprising:
- extraction of an oil comprising at least one compound of the capsaicinoid and/or vanilloid family from peppers, then extraction of said at least one compound of the capsaicinoid and/or vanilloid family from said oil;
- or
- use of at least one pre-extracted compound of the capsaicinoid and/or vanilloid family, in solid form;
- and
- mixing the at least one compound from the capsaicinoid and/or vanilloid family with at least one water-soluble oil, preferably castor oil or a derivative thereof.
A production and/or projection device of a storage and use fluid composition with a second amount 2 of capsaicinoids and/or vanilloids, the compsption for protecting a sensitive area and/or to impact a targeted surface, said device comprising:
- a main reservoir;
- at least one means configured to project said storage and use composition from said device;
- and
- a control system configured to control the operation of said at least one projecting means, wherein
- the fluid composition comprises:
- one or more repellent and/or incapacitating agents, comprising capsaicinoids and/or vanilloids present at a first amount that is less than or equal to 20% by weight relative to the total weight of said composition, and being in the form either of an extract of at least partially de-oiled oleoresin, in solid form, or in the form of crystalline and/or amorphous powder, and at least one water-soluble oil, preferably castor oil or one of its derivatives and at least one diluent solution chosen so that said storage and use composition is water-soluble, the at least one diluent solution comprising water and/or an oily diluent comprising castor oil or its derivatives so as to obtain a second use formulation in which said repellent and/or incapacitating agent(s) are present at an atmospheric projection and use in a second amount that is less than or equal to 0, 1% by weight of the total weight of said composition, less than or equal to 0.01% by weight, less than or equal to 0.001% by weight, less than or equal to 0.0001% by weight, or less than or equal to 0.00001% by weight, relative to the total weight of the composition.
