Abstract

The modern societies are not any more ready to accept malodors as an inevitable fact but they tend to control osmogens and spread good smells. Hereby the use of zinc ricinoleate has grown to a common system for odor control in recent years. Theoretical description of odor absorbing mechanism was done recently. For performance evaluation of these malodor absorbing systems a new analytical method, the solid phase micro-extraction (SPME), is now available. With this knowledge, the next task is to develop a malodor absorber system with required efficacy.

Kurzfassung

In der modernen Gesellschaft werden unangenehme Gerüche nicht mehr als unausweichliches Übel akzeptiert. Hierdurch hat die Nutzung von Geruchsabsorbern, insbesondere Zinkrizinoleat, in den letzten Jahren deutlich zugenommen. Eine theoretische Beschreibung des Wirkmechanismus wurde in den letzten Jahren durchgeführt. Um die geruchsabsorbierenden Eigenschaften nun analytisch messbar zu machen, wurde eine neue Methode, die Solid Phase Microextraction (SPME), entwickelt. Mit den Erkenntnissen aus theoretischen und analytischen Methoden ist ein neues Geruchsabsorberkonzentrat entwickelt worden, das die geforderten Eigenschaften zeigt.
