<p>BROAD-SPECTRUM DEODORANT COMPOSITION A germicidally-active, deodorant composition is comprised of a germicidal-effective amount of a phenol and a deodorizing-effective amount of 2,3-butanedione. The deodorant composition may also include propylene glycol as a carrier and which acts, for certain odors, as an absorbent of constituents comprising the malodor; and may also optionally, but preferably, include a characterizing agent. This broadspectrum deodorizing composition may be adapted for specific utilities as a source-specific deodorant by further incorporation of an acid selected from the group consisting of hydrochloric and acetic acids, a deodorizing-effective, water-soluble metal compound selected from the group consisting of aluminum, barium, bismuth, cobalt, chromium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, nickel, potassium, titanium and zinc compounds and selective uses of dichlorobenzene or amyl acetate. Gel carriers may optionally be utilized to dispense the deodorants, in a gel, paste or pellet form; which carriers include acacia gum, agar, alginate, amylopectin, gum arabic, carrageenan, chitosan, dextrin, fucoidan, gum ghatt, guar gum, locust bean gum, methyl cellulose, gum tragacanth and xanthan gum.</p> |
