Benefits of technology

[0080]4 Blind test samples with 5% of a given test raw material and 1% of bathroom malodor.
[0081]The samples were evaluated by a panel of at least 20 trained panelists. By “trained panelists” we mean here individuals that had previously been screened for olfactive acuity and were experienced in rating the perfume intensity of air freshener products. Moreover, the panelists were prior acquainted with the malodor sample before carrying out the evaluations of the raw material samples counteracting effect.
[0082]The samples were presented to the panelists in Sniffin Pens. Each Sniffin Pen was labeled with a randomly generated 3 digit code. Sniffin Pens were presented to the panelist according to a Latin square design order. These are presentation methods in which the samples are presented in a balanced manner, each product being presented the same number of times in every position, and every possible pair is represented the same number of times (see Multivariate analysis of data in sensory science, edited by T. Naes, E. Risvik, Norwegian Food Research Institute, Oslovein, Norway, 1996, Elsevier, E.A. Hunter, Chapter 2).
[0083]After smelling the malodor reference sample first to familiarize themselves with the malodor, the panelists were asked to rate the malodor intensity and the total odor intensity of each sample, based on a linear 1-7 scale (1=no odor-7=extremely strong odor) as shown here below:
[0084]The data generated from the panel's evaluations was statistically analyzed in each case using variance analysis (ANOVA, α=0.05) and least significance difference (LSD, α=0.05).
[0085]A typical example of the results is shown in Table 1 for bathroom malodor counteracting effect of four generic test raw materials (RM).

Problems solved by technology

The prior art richness in reports of methods to counteract and / or mask malodors is such that a complete review of all the methods and compositions prior reported in this context is impossible here.
Although one can find amongst the proposed ingredients a suggestion to combine chemicals such as damascone and decenyl nitrile with a third component of more complex structure, there is no suggestion that the simple combination of materials as are presently taught here would efficiently provide a MOC effect.

Abstract

The invention relates to a malodor counteractancy or counteracting (MOC) method that resorts to the use of specific malodor counteracting (MOC) mixtures of fragrance ingredients. More particularly, the invention relates to new MOC compositions capable of neutralizing or masking in an efficient manner malodors of a large variety of such as body or animal malodors, kitchen malodors, toilet and bathroom malodors, and tobacco malodor. The novel MOC compositions of the invention contain at least one nitrile material in combination with another fragrance material and can be used in any finished consumer products such as air fresheners, kitchen or toilet / bathroom cleaning or freshening products, textile treatment products and products for application on the human skin or hair, or on animal fur, litter containers or cages.
