Abstract: A composition and a method of use for reducing malsensory agents comprising a component selected from the group consisting of fragrances, flavors, unfragranced carriers and mixtures thereof, with undecylenic acid and/or a derivative thereof, in an amount effective to reduce the malsensory agents and allow release of the component from the composition.

Abstract: A regimen for hunting includes using a number of activated carbon-containing personal items in connection with a hunter's apparel and body to reduce the hunter's scent for improved hunting. The personal items include mouthwash, deodorant/antiperspirant, body and boot powder, bar and liquid soap for cleansing the body and hair, laundry detergent and dryer sheets. Each of the personal items includes an effective amount of activated carbon, so that use of the personal items reduces the available scent to be detected by animals in the wild.

Abstract: A process of manufacturing a composition suitable for capturing unwanted molecules comprising the steps of: (a) providing cyclodextrin, a cyclodextrin-compatible material, and a cyclodextrin-incompatible material; (b) combining said cyclodextrin-compatible material and said cyclodextrin-incompatible material to form a first mixture; and (c) subsequently combining said cyclodextrin with said first mixture to form said composition suitable for capturing unwanted molecules. The resulting stable composition for removing unwanted molecules from a surface comprises functionally-available cyclodextrin and cyclodextrin-incompatible material.

Abstract: An animal bedding composition and method of manufacture includes cut or shredded pieces of multiple panel corrugated cardboard kraft paper structures having an internal corrugated panel sandwiched between outer panels, and an adsorptive deodorizing ion exchange agent such as a zeolite dispersed throughout the cardboard pieces and carried on outer and inner surfaces of the pieces of cardboard and on outer and inner surfaces of the corrugations to provide a comfortable, hygienic and deodorized floor covering for animal stalls. An automated method of manufacturing the animal bedding composition is also described. The ion exchange agent attaches to surfaces of the corrugated cardboard which serves as a carrier to sanitize and deodorize a stall. The open structure of the cut corrugations provides mechanical load absorption, and a wicking action to aerate moisture from a stall.

Abstract: A thermoplastic porous water-permeable layer material has at least one odor-reducing surface which is wettable to aqueous liquids and capable of controlling a wide variety of malodors. The thermoplastic water-permeable layer material is treated with a surfactant-modified cyclodextrin prepared by mixing or chemically reacting a cyclodextrin-based odor absorbing material with a surfactant-producing compound. The layer material thus treated can be used in a wide variety of personal care and medical absorbent products, as well as other applications.

Abstract: Animal enclosures such as poultry houses generate high amounts of ammonia that adversely affect weight gain and mortality or the animals, particularly among young chicks. The addition of a deliquescent salt, such as calcium chloride, to alum to treat animal waste products rapidly activates the alum to remove ammonia from the atmosphere. The ammonia sulfate by-product is useful as a nitrogen fertilizer.

Abstract: A deodorizing composition formed by an aqueous solution of divalent metal ions, preferably zinc ions, and i) an anionic alkylaryl alkoxy carboxylate/carboxylic acid surfactant and/or ii) an anionic alcohol alkoxy carboxylate/carboxylic acid surfactant.

Abstract: A method of treating liquid animal manure comprising contacting a manure slurry with a treatment composition comprising a treatment effective amount of AlCl3.nH2O or Al(NO3)3.mH2O, or the residue of AlCl3.nH2O or Al(NO3)3.mH2O, to form a resulting slurry, wherein n is from 0 to 10, and m is from 0 to 12. The treatment effective amount is effective to reduce phosphorus solubility in the manure; reduce phosphorus runoff and/or phosphorus leaching from fields fertilized with manure; inhibit ammonia volatilization from the manure; flocculate solids in the manure; reduce pathogens in the manure; increase the nitrogen content in the manure; and/or reduce acid rain and PM-10s associated with the manure.

Abstract: Nontoxic biocompatible deodorizing compositions are essentially free of nonbiocompatible components and comprise, by volume, from about 0.05 to about 0.5 percent of an odor elimination agent, in combination with a physiologically compatible buffering agent, a wetting agent and a polar diluent. The compositions are suitable dispensed from a spray dispenser and are adapted for reducing malodors in environments where contact of the compositions with humans or animals having compromised or reduced chemical or microbiological resistance is anticipated or not easily prevented, for example in operating rooms, intensive care units, neonatal nurseries, and additional health care facilities.

Abstract: The disclosure of this invention relates to odor control and more particularly, to a process and composition whereby household and institutional odors are eliminated wherein these odors are incorporated in a variety of substrates. The odor composition of this invention is a solution of Chloramine-T and a suitable wetting agent. The solutions in this invention may further be buffered. The concentration of the Chloramine-T can be from about 0.5 to about 10 weight percent. The concentration of the wetting agent can be from about 0.1 to about 5%.

Abstract: There is disclosed an aqueous formulation for pretanning leather, which formulation comprises (a) a reductive saccharide having a dextrose equivalent of 10 to 100, and (b) an aliphatic dialdehyde containing 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and which is devoid of mineral salts. The leather treated with the novel aqueous composition (wet white leather) is eminently suitable for further processing, especially for the manufacture of leathers which are devoid of heavy metals.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a deodorant composition capable of removing an odor component such as a carbonyl group-containing compound with high efficiency. The composition includes a deodorizing compound which itself creates no problem of odor and corrosion. The present invention also relates to a deodorizer and filter containing the composition which are compact in size and can remove the odor component in a simple manner, and a method of deodorization using the composition. The deodorant composition includes the compound reactive with the odor component in the presence of moisture, and a water-absorbing substance. The odor component is a carbonyl group-containing compound. The deodorizing compound reactive with the odor component is at least one selected from the group consisting of monohydric phenols, polyhydric phenols, and derivatives thereof, and among them, resorcin is preferable.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a granular air freshener capable of being dissolved in water. It is comprised of a chemical carrier and a selected scent incorporated together. The chemical carrier is one which effervesces when dissolving or dissolved in water. As the carrier dissolves, the gas emitted (e.g., carbon dioxide) as it effervesces carries with it the selected scent to freshen the air in the room in which the freshener is dissolved. The invention is ideal for single use packaging for traveling and public use.
