Description

TECHNICAL FIELD The present invention relates to an odor modulating agent for garbage and an odor modulating method for garbage.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, garbage from households and the like in daily life is collected by garbage trucks. Specifically, in the city, garbage is put out at a garbage collection point, a garbage truck comes to the garbage collection point, and a worker puts the garbage into the garbage collection truck's garbage input port and collects it, and then the next accumulation. move to a place. In addition, after collection, garbage trucks travel through the city to transport the garbage to a garbage disposal site, where it is disposed of.

Garbage, especially raw garbage, generates a foul odor. There is a problem that garbage put out at a garbage collection site emits a foul odor. Even after the garbage is collected, there is a problem that the liquid from the kitchen garbage leaks to the collection place, and the accumulation place has a foul odor.

Moreover, some garbage trucks are of a type in which the garbage inlet remains open, and when the garbage truck runs through the city during garbage collection, there is a problem that a foul odor is dispersed.

A garbage truck equipped with a deodorizing device has been proposed as a means for suppressing the spread of foul odors (see, for example, claim 4 of Patent Document 1).

However, it is difficult to deodorize the foul odor of garbage, and there is a problem that even if deodorizing means such as a deodorizing device or a deodorant is used, the odor cannot be sufficiently deodorized.

Therefore, there is a demand for the development of a means capable of solving the problem caused by the foul odor of garbage.

In addition, by setting the content of the solvent within the above range, the food waste modulator of the present invention can be easily sprayed at the garbage collection site, and can be sprayed on the collected garbage inside the garbage truck. Therefore, it is possible to modulate the foul odor of garbage generated by garbage trucks into other odors, thereby easily reducing discomfort.

The odor modulator for garbage of the present invention can be usefully used in places where the bad smell of garbage is generated. It may be sprayed on garbage bags, it may be sprayed on a garbage collection site before and after collecting garbage, it may be sprayed on raw garbage stored inside a garbage truck, and it may be sprayed on a garbage disposal site. good. The method of application is not particularly limited, and conventionally known methods such as application by spraying and dripping of the odor modifier for garbage can be used.

2. Method for Modulating Food Garbage Odor The present invention also comprises spraying an odor modulating agent for food waste containing esters, aldehydes, alcohols, and pyrans on the collected food waste inside the garbage truck. It is also a method for modulating the odor of garbage, characterized by

The above-mentioned odor modulator for food waste can be used as the odor modulator for food waste to be sprayed in the method for modulating the odor of food waste of the present invention.

The above spraying method is not particularly limited as long as the odor modulator for garbage can be sprayed, and the odor modulator for garbage is sprayed from a nozzle installed in the ceiling of the garbage inlet of a garbage truck or a pipe with holes. A method of spraying, a method of spraying the odor modifier for garbage from a nozzle installed on the ceiling of a garbage storage tank of a garbage truck or a pipe with holes, and the like. When sprayed from the ceiling of the garbage inlet, the odor modifier for garbage will be mixed with the sewage in the sewage tank provided below the garbage inlet for storing the sewage generated from the garbage, making it more effective. It is preferable in that it can effectively reduce the offensive odor of garbage.

The temperature of the odor modifier for garbage during spraying is not particularly limited, and is preferably 10 to 25°C, more preferably 15 to 20°C. By spraying the odor modulating agent within the above temperature range, the odor modulating agent for food waste can more effectively exert its odor modulating effect.

EXAMPLES The present invention will be specifically described below with reference to examples. However, the present invention is not limited to the examples.

(Preparation of odor modulator for garbage)
Raw materials having the formulations shown in Table 1 were put into a mixing tank and mixed and stirred to prepare an odor modifier for garbage. Specifically, in a mixing tank equipped with a heating device, a solvent was added according to the formulation shown in Table 1, then other raw materials were added in order, and the mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at 20°C. was prepared.

(evaluation)
The following evaluations were carried out using the odor modulator for garbage of Example 1 prepared as described above. That is, filter paper was laid on a sterilized petri dish for bacteria inspection, and 1 g of the sewage collected in the sewage tank of the garbage truck was dripped onto the center of the filter paper. Next, using the odor modulator for food waste of Example 1 prepared as described above, a 0.1% by mass ethanol solution of the odor modulator for food waste of Example 1 was prepared. Next, 0.1 g of this ethanol solution was dropped around the dropped sewage to prepare a sample. As sewage, as shown in Table 1, sewage collected at 6 locations in Hiroshima and 3 locations in Osaka was used.

Then, the sample was covered with a petri dish and allowed to stand at room temperature (20° C.) for 10 minutes. After standing, the lid was opened, and the subject sniffed the smell from 10 cm above the center of the petri dish, and sensory evaluation was performed according to the following evaluation criteria. The above test was conducted with 5 subjects, and evaluation was made by the value obtained by rounding off the average of the evaluation values.

5: The smell of garbage was not felt at all, and the smell was very good. 4: The smell of garbage was hardly felt, and the smell was good. 3: The smell of garbage was slightly felt, but it was not unpleasant. 2: The smell of garbage was felt, but the smell was not good. 1: The smell of garbage was strongly felt, and the smell was unpleasant.

Table 1 shows the results.
