No, 61/404,061 fled Sep. 27, 2010, FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] |The present invention relates to an odor conjugater or chemically neutralizing odors. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 10003] | U:S, Pat. No, 5,031,578 relates to an animal liter box system which reduces odor and extends the useful life oF liner by delivering and concentrating urine in an area spect cally designed to prevent odor formation. The protective member incluces means for forming an opening having a predetennined periphery in its uppermost surface when the eri lifted from the liter box to initiate the ton. The protective member further includes Figuid sorbeat meaas ‘an odor abatement ent 0 prevent or redace the development of odor in Uke absorbed Tiguid. 10003} _ U.S. Pat. No. 5,290,547 relates to a macroemulsion ‘composition for contmlling odors and including droplets of Waterimaiscible, odor counteracting material dispersed as the discontinuous phase of the macroemulsion in a water soluble binder, wh ‘macroemulsion, Upon deposition ofthe composition onto aa appropriate substrate, such s pet liter and after evaporation ‘of the water within the binder solution, the water soluble je on the substrate, In so doing, the solidified ‘water soluble binder substantially eneloses the deoples ofthe ‘dor counteracting material. The water soluble binder easily dissolves upon contact with waler in pet excreta, therchy releasing the odor counteracting material in anamount appro- priate to counter the offensive odors a the offensive area where such counteraction is newded most [0005] U.S. Pat, No. $507,250 relates tothe addition of urease neyative bacteria fo sodium smectite clay minerals i pet litter inhibits growth of urease positive bacteria for 2 Petiod of several days, thereby retarding fomnation of ammo- nia and ether obnoxious odors. Approximately fily percent sodium bentonite in the liter causes the Fier to chimp ype ‘wetting, maintaining the urea in contact with the treated clay ‘and also serving a8 buffer 10 favor growth of the urease negative hacer, 10006] U.S. Pal, No, $819,688 relates to pet animal odor absorbing mat comprising a mat or pad formed of a fibrous ‘material such asa cellulosic material, and whic i integrally ‘inconporated witha 7eolitemsineral during the mantafactare oF the mat, Wood fers are mixed with a binding agent such as an aerylic Intex of other animal non-toxie binder, and the ~oolite while i somevsat ofa semi-viscous and semiliquid state and then allowed to harden. The mati highly effective oruseas abottom layer inca Titer boxes o absorb both urine ‘or other wetness and highly effective, in lterlly entrapping ‘odors, suchas those adors arising from pet animals, The mat thereupon simultancously releases oxygen. This type of min- ‘eral has been found tobe particularly effective in removing those odors arising both from the animal urine, as well as ‘other animal excreta, Mar. 29, 2012 0007] U.S Pat, No, 6.077.318 relates to an aqueous con Position for reducing malodor impression, The compositic ‘comprises from about 0.01% to about 1%, by weight of the composition, of perfume wherein the perfume preferably comprises ingredients having a Clog P of 3 of smaller Optionally, but preferably, the composition comprises from about 0.196 t0 about $%, by weight of the composition of, ‘water-soluble eyclodextrin, from about 0.1% to about 10%, by weight of the composition, of watersoluble metalic salt, {rom about 0% to about 3%, by weight of the composition, of solubilizing aid.
