Appl. No.:

11/379924

Inventors:

Charles Fritter - Dublin CA, US
Heather Day - San Lorenzo CA, US
Rajesh Gupta - Bay Point CA, US
Naymesh Patel - San Ramon CA, US

International Classification:

B32B 27/04

US Classification:

422088000

Abstract:

A sensory evaluation device, and methods of using the same, for the evaluation of the efficacy of odor-absorbing compositions, particularly animal litters. The sensory evaluation device includes a first chamber containing one odor-absorbing composition suitable for use as an animal litter coupled to a second chamber containing a second odor-absorbing composition suitable for use as an animal litter. Each odor-absorbing composition is dosed with an odor-emitting substance, preferably colored such that the dosing is visible. Each chamber contains a vapor-permeable barrier, which is capable of communication with the ambient environment. The vapor-permeable barriers are protected from the ambient environment by vapor-permeable barrier protectors, which are removably coupled to the vapor-permeable barriers. More than one sensory evaluation device may be comparatively used by a single user at one time.
