Abstract

An odor control concentrate composition including a plant derived non-volatile triglyceride that binds and/or neutralizes organic malodor molecules; and a zeolite that binds and/or neutralize organic malodor molecules. The odor control concentrate composition may be diluted and further applied to a textile/textile material. Textiles having the odor control compositions applied thereon and/or treated with the odor control compositions in which the treated textile binds, neutralizes, and/or reduces odor(s) associated with odor molecules for a prolonged period of time (e.g., up to twenty-five (25) wash cycles, for several months, for several years, or any combination thereof).

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A dry textile material having an odor control composition permanently applied thereon, the odor control composition comprising:
(a) a plant derived non-volatile triglyceride present at a concentration ranging from 18 wt % to 40 wt % of the overall weight of the composition; and
(b) a zeolite present at a concentration ranging from 10 wt % to 50 wt % of the overall weight of the composition;
wherein the dry textile material and/or the composition applied thereon reduces, binds, and/or neutralizes odors from odor molecules on the dry textile material for a prolonged period of time;
wherein the odor control concentrate composition further comprises an alkali metal salt in which the alkali metal salt is sodium lactate, sodium bicarbonate, or a combination thereof.

2. The dry textile material according to claim 1 , wherein the plant derived non-volatile triglyceride applied on the dry textile material ranges from 0.5% owf to 5% owf, and the zeolite applied on the dry textile material ranges from 0.25% owf to 3% owf.

3. The dry textile material according to claim 1 , wherein the plant derived non-volatile triglyceride and zeolite are present in at a weight ratio of 2:1 to 1:2.

4. The dry textile material according to claim 1 , wherein the dry textile material reduces, binds, and/or neutralizes ammonia, acetic acid, isovaleric acid, and nonenal and/or odors associated with the presence of ammonia, acetic acid, isovaleric acid, and nonenal on the textile material when compared to an untreated textile material.

5. The dry textile material according to claim 4 , wherein the dry textile material reduces, binds, and/or neutralizes 75% to 100% of ammonia and/or odor associated with the presence of ammonia when compared to an untreated textile material, and/or the dry textile material binds and neutralizes 75% to 100% of acetic acid and/or odor associated with the presence of acetic acid when compared to an untreated textile material, and/or the dry textile material binds and neutralizes 75% to 100% of isovaleric acid and/or odor associated with the presence of isovaleric acid when compared to an untreated textile material, and/or the dry textile material binds and neutralizes 75% to 100% of nonenal and/or odor associated with the presence of nonenal when compared to an untreated textile material.
