AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for neutralizing malodors, particularly from ammonia and primary or secondary amines, are inadequate in terms of reactivity and speed of reaction, necessitating the development of more reactive compounds to efficiently eliminate these odors.
The use of glycerol carbonate or its derivatives, which irreversibly bind with ammonia and primary or secondary amines through a carbonate functional group, effectively reducing the concentration of these malodorous compounds in the environment.
Glycerol carbonate derivatives rapidly neutralize malodors by forming irreversible covalent bonds with amines, significantly reducing the perception of odors compared to existing compounds, as demonstrated by kinetic and sensory analysis.
