Abstract: A reduced-odor polyol composition for gastrointestinal lavage of a mammal comprises a polyol and at least one acid salt formed from a reaction between a basic catalyst and citric acid. The reduced-odor polyol composition is produced by providing at least one alkylene oxide; providing at least one initiator; reacting the at least one alkylene oxide with the at least one initiator in the presence of a basic catalyst to produce a polyol; and neutralizing the basic catalyst with citric acid, thereby forming at least one acid salt and producing the reduced-odor polyol composition.

Abstract: Machine dishwashing detergents are disclosed containing a low-foaming nonionic surfactant having relatively low cloud point which unexpectedly provides effective detergency, foam control and good rinsing action when utilized as the sole nonionic surfactant. Dishes and other utensils are cleaned to a sparkling clean spot-free condition by the machine dishwashing detergent compositions of the invention containing conventional phosphate builders or non-phosphate builders but excluding conventional alkyl phosphate ester defoaming agents. The machine dishwashing detergent compositions of the invention are effective especially in controlling foam on washing dishes and other utensils encrusted with soils generally encountered on dishes, specifically egg and milk-derived protein soils.
