Abstract
Air freshening gel compositions include a low ester pectin in an amount from about 0.5 to about 2.5 percent by weight, a substantially insoluble calcium salt in an amount from about 0.1 to about 0.50 percent by weight, water, and fragrance. Methods of making an air freshening gel composition include dissolving a low ester pectin in water, and combining a calcium salt with the pectin solution to form a gel solution containing from about 0.5 to about 2.5 percent by weight of the low ester pectin and from about 0.1 to about 0.50 percent by weight of the calcium salt.
Claims34
An air freshening gel composition, comprising:
- a low ester pectin in an amount from about 0.5 to about 2.5 percent by weight of the gel composition;
- a substantially insoluble calcium salt in an amount from about 0.1 to about 0.50 percent by weight of the gel composition;
- water;
- and
- fragrance.
A method of making an air freshening gel composition, comprising:
- dissolving a low ester pectin in demineralized water to form a pectin solution;
- suspending a substantially insoluble calcium salt in demineralized water to form a salt suspension;
- combining the pectin solution and the salt suspension to form a gel solution;
- and
- allowing the gel solution to form a gel composition,
- wherein the low ester pectin is present in the gel solution in an amount from about 0.5 to about 2.5 percent by weight of the gel solution, and the calcium salt is present in the gel solution an amount from about 0.1 to about 0.50 percent by weight of the gel solution.
A method of making an air freshening gel composition, comprising:
- dissolving a low ester pectin in water to form a pectin solution;
- adding a calcium salt to the pectin solution to form a gel solution;
- and
- allowing the gel solution to form a gel composition,
- wherein the low ester pectin is present in the gel solution in an amount from about 0.5 to about 2.5 percent by weight of the gel solution, and the calcium salt is present in the gel solution an amount from about 0.1 to about 0.50 percent by weight of the gel solution.
