Abstract: Described is a novel zinc ricinoleate-containing malodor reducing composition further comprising: (a) cyclohexanol, 4-isopropyl: propionate, cis; (b) cyclohexanemethanol, alpha-methyl: acetate; (c) butyric acid: 1-cyclohexylethyl ester; and (d) cyclohexanemethanol, alpha-methyl, wherein the ratio of (a):(b):(c):(d) is about 2.8-4.8:0.5-2.5:0.1-1:0.25-1, and wherein zinc ricinoleate is at a level of about 1-3% by weight. Also described for the purpose of application to an inanimate laminar substantially solid surface are malodor-suppressing composition-containing stick articles containing an ester-terminated polyamide or an amide-terminated polyamide structural support polymer in combination with the aforementioned zinc ricinoleate-containing malodor reducing compositions. Also described is a package for conveniently handling the aforementioned stick article.

Abstract: A method is provided in which the sensory perceptions of the subject are represented in a visual manner, the method provides for a computation of the attributes to automatically total the perceptions tested such that the results to equal 100%. In a preferred embodiment the results are provided as a pie chart or a bar chart with each of the attributes tested provided in a different color to accentuate the relative proportions of the attributes.
