Abstract
The present invention pertains to a method of counteracting a malodor by introducing a malodor counteracting effective amount of an enantiomeric compound selected from the group consisting of (1R)-1-cyclohexylethyl butyrate and (1S)-1-cyclohexylethyl acetate.
Claims2
A method of counteracting a mold/mildew malodor in a functional product selected from the group consisting of a gaseous product and a solid or liquid product comprising the step of introducing a malodor counteracting effective amount of (1R)-1-cyclohexylethyl butyrate;
- wherein when the functional product is the gaseous product, the malodor counteracting effective amount is from about 0.3 to about 60 μg per liter of air space;
- and
- wherein when the functional product is the solid or liquid product, the malodor counteracting effective amount is from about 0.05% to about 10% by weight.
A method of counteracting a sweat malodor in a functional product selected from the group consisting of a gaseous product and a solid or liquid product comprising the step of introducing a malodor counteracting effective amount of (1S)-1-cyclohexylethyl acetate;
- wherein when the functional product is the gaseous product, the malodor counteracting effective amount is from about 1.5 to about 150 μg per liter of air space;
- and
- wherein when the functional product is the solid or liquid product, the malodor counteracting effective amount is from about 0.05% to about 5% by weight.
