Patent Application
20160089464
The present invention relates to malodor reduction compositions and methods of making and using same.
Unscented or scented products are desired by consumers as they may be considered more natural and discreet than scented products. Manufacturers of unscented or scented products for controlling malodors rely on malodor reduction ingredients or other technologies (e.g. filters) to reduce malodors. However, effectively controlling malodors, for example, amine-based malodors (e.g. fish and urine), thiol and sulfide-based malodors (e.g. garlic and onion), C2-C12 carboxylic acid based malodors (e.g. body and pet odor), indole based malodors (e.g. fecal and bad breath), short chain fatty aldehyde based malodors (e.g. grease) and geosmin based malodors (e.g. mold/mildew) may be difficult, and the time required for a product to noticeably reduce malodors may create consumer doubt as to the product's efficacy on malodors. Often times, manufacturers incorporate scented perfumes to help mask these difficult malodors.
Unfortunately, malodor control technologies typically cover up the malodor with a stronger scent and thus interfere with the scent of the perfumed or unperfumed situs that is treated with the malodor control technology. Thus, limited nature of the current malodor control technologies is extremely constraining. Thus what is needed is a broader palette of malodor control technologies so the perfume community can deliver the desired level of character in a greater number of situations/applications. Surprisingly, Applicants recognized that in addition to blocking a malodor's access to a sensory cell, in order to achieve the desired goal, a malodor control technology must leave such sensor cell open to other molecules, for example scent molecules. Thus, the malodor control technologies disclosed herein do not unduely interfere with the scent of the perfumed or unperfumed situs that is treated with the malodor control technology.
The present invention relates to malodor reduction compositions and methods of making and using same. The malodor reduction compositions are suitable for use in a variety of applications, including use in consumer products, for example, air freshening compositions, laundry detergents, fabric enhancers, surface cleaners, beauty care products, dish care products, diapers, feminine protection articles, and plastic films for garbage bags. Such malodor control technologies do not unduely interfere with the scent of the perfumed or unperfumed situs that is treated with the malodor control technology.
As used herein “MORV” is the calculated malodor reduction value for a subject material. A material's MORV indicates such material's ability to decrease or even eliminate the perception of one or more malodors. For purposes of the present application, a material's MORV is calculated in accordance with method found in the test methods section of the present application.
As used herein “consumer product” means baby care, beauty care, fabric & home care, family care, feminine care, health care, snack and/or beverage products or devices. Such products include but are not limited to plastic films garbage bags, storage bags, storage wraps, diapers, bibs, wipes, garments, textiles including sheets and towels, composters; products for and/or methods relating to treating hair (human, dog, and/or cat), including, bleaching, coloring, dyeing, conditioning, wet or dry shampooing, styling, scalp treatments; deodorants and antiperspirants; personal cleansing; cosmetics; skin care including application of creams, lotions, fine fragrances and other topically applied products for consumer use; and shaving products, products for and/or methods relating to treating fabrics, hard surfaces and any other surfaces in the area of fabric and home care, including: air care including air filtration, car care, dishwashing, fabric conditioning (including softening), laundry detergency, laundry and rinse additive and/or care, hard surface cleaning and/or treatment, towel bowl cleaners and other cleaning and/or malodor treatments for consumer, agricultural, industrial or institutional use; products and/or methods relating to bath tissue, facial tissue, paper handkerchiefs, and/or paper towels; tampons, feminine napkins; products and/or methods relating to oral care including toothpastes, tooth gels, tooth rinses, denture adhesives, tooth whitening.
As used herein “energized system”, refers to a system that operates by using an electrical and/or mechanical energy source such as a battery or electrical wall outlet to emit the malodor reduction composition. Examples of such devices include but are limited to liquid electric pluggable type air freshening devices.
As used herein, “malodor” refers to compounds generally offensive or unpleasant to most people, such as the complex odors associated with bowel movements.
As used herein, “neutralize” or “neutralization” refers to the ability of a compound or product to reduce or eliminate malodorous compounds. Odor neutralization may be partial, affecting only some of the malodorous compounds in a given context, or affecting only part of a malodorous compound. A malodorous compound may be neutralized by chemical reaction resulting in a new chemical entity, by sequestration, by chelation, by association, or by any other interaction rendering the malodorous compound less malodorous or non-malodorous. Neutralization is distinguishable from odor masking or odor blocking by a change in the malodorous compound, as opposed to a change in the ability to perceive the malodor without any corresponding change in the condition of the malodorous compound. Malodor neutralization provides a sensory and analytically measurable (e.g. gas chromatograph) malodor reduction. Thus, if a malodor reduction composition delivers genuine malodor neutralization, the composition will reduce malodors in the vapor and/or liquid phase.
As used herein, “non-energized” refers to a system that emits a targeted active passively or without the need for an electrical energy source. Handheld aerosol sprayers and traditional trigger/pump sprayers are considered non-energized systems.
As used herein, “odor blocking” refers to the ability of a compound to dull the human sense of smell.
As used herein, “odor masking” refers to the ability of a compound with a non-offensive or pleasant smell that is dosed such that it limits the ability to sense a malodorous compound. Odor-masking may involve the selection of compounds which coordinate with an anticipated malodor to change the perception of the overall scent provided by the combination of odorous compounds.
As used herein, the terms “a” and “an” mean “at least one”.
As used herein, the terms “include”, “includes” and “including” are meant to be non-limiting.
Unless otherwise noted, all component or composition levels are in reference to the active portion of that component or composition, and are exclusive of impurities, for example, residual solvents or by-products, which may be present in commercially available sources of such components or compositions.

Examples 11.1 to 11.4 are made by combining the molten fabric softener active with the front-end stability agent to form a first mixture. This first mixture is combined with water and hydrochloric acid using a high shear mixing device to form a second mixture. The adjunct ingredients are combined with the second mixture using low shear mixing to form the fabric enhancing formula.
Examples 11.1 through 11.4 are used by dosing 10 to 60 g of the formula into the rinse liquor for example via dispensing into a clothes washing machine. Clothes are dried on a line or in an automated clothes dryer. The fabrics treated with these formulas have improved feel and scent and are effective at reducing malodor on the clothing.
