Cola®Quat SME is a cationic surfactant designed to neutralize a wide range of odors. The ingredient functions by complexing or neutralizing specific organic molecules and reducing their concentration in the vapor phase. Its low active level and full solubility in water makes it ideal for consumer deodorizer applications such as space deodorizers, carpet deodorizers, hard surface deodorizers, kitty litter and pet care. The ingredient may be used in a variety of personal care, household and industrial applications to reduce unpleasant odors.

Technical Details & Test Data

Sensory Evaluation for Determining Deodorizing Effect

A panel study was conducted to determine the deodorizing eff ect of Cola®Quat SME using a sensory evaluation method. Smoke from a cigarette and acetic acid were used as sources of odor to odorize cotton cloths, which were then treated with Cola®Quat SME. The deodorizing effi cacy of Cola®Quat SME was determined by the ability of each panelist to detect the diff erence between the odorless cloth and the odorous cloth, as well as the diff erence in degree of odor when present.

Methods

The deodorizing eff ect of Cola®Quat SME was tested on two separate sources of odor, cigarette smoke and acetic acid, that were introduced to a cotton cloth material. In the former, 30 mL of smoke generated from a top brand cigarette was injected into six 10” x 11” polyethylene bags containing single 11” x 11” cotton cloths and sealed for 24 hours. Similarly, in the latter, 0.06 g of acetic acid was applied to six 11” x 11” cotton cloths. Each cloth was then sealed in a 10” x 11” polyethylene bag for 24 hours. After 24 hours, all cloths were removed from their sealed bags. A Deodorizing Spray was prepared by diluting 2% Cola®Quat SME in DI water. One cloth from each source of odor was left untreated. The remaining cloths were treated with varying amounts of Cola®Quat SME, ranging from 0.05% to 0.5%, by evenly spraying the cloths with the appropriate amount of Deodorizing Spray. The cloths were allowed to dry for 20 minutes before evaluation. 10 panelists were asked to smell the cloths and rate the degree of odor on a scale of 0 to 10 (see below). In each case, the panelists were fi rst asked to smell the cloth that had not been treated with Cola®Quat SME and consider it to represent a 10 on the odor scale for Strong Odor. They were then asked to smell the cloths treated with Cola®Quat SME and rate them accordingly.Colonial Chemical Cola Quat SME Sensory Evaluation for Determining Deodorizing Effect - 1

  • Ten out of ten panelists detected a reduction in odor after Cola®Quat SME was applied.
  • Under the conditions of the study, Cola®Quat SME was determined to be an effi cacious product for neutralizing malodors.
