Abstract:
1. A method for preparing an oral composition effective for reducing oral malodor associated with consumption of garlic, the method comprising: placing a model solution comprising a sulfide or disulfide compound in a vessel; measuring a concentration of the sulfide or disulfide compound in a headspace of the vessel, to determine an initial sulfide or disulfide concentration in the headspace; contacting a test composition and the model solution in the vessel; measuring the concentration of the sulfide or disulfide compound in the headspace of the vessel after contact the model solution and the test composition, to determine a final sulfide or disulfide concentration in the headspace; identifying a test composition that reduces the concentration of the sulfide or disulfide compound in the headspace of the vessel, the final concentration of the sulfide or disulfide compound being less than the initial concentration thereof; and, preparing an oral composition effective for reducing oral malodor associated with the consumption of garlic comprising said identified test composition.
