this smaller dimension higher basis weight pad was then pressed in a wabash press to achieve a specific gravity of 0 2 pads produced according to the method described in example 2 were used for odor control efficacy testing and rewet testing the testing protocols and results are described below the odor control efficacy testing protocol is modeled to simulate the conditions an end user would expect to find in an absorbent article during use accordingly the fiber to sap ratio and pad basis weight are adjusted to mimic that of a product into which the binary odor control system may be incorporated two sets of 3 u2033 diameter circular pads are formed one set using untreated control fibers and the other using fibers treated with the odor control component s the pads are placed in 4 u2033 tall 3 u2033 interior diameter jars which are paired each pair including an untreated pad and a treated pad urine samples are collected from healthy adults and because urine from healthy individuals is sterile and many odors associated with urine are due to microbial activity the samples are inoculated with bacteria agitated and allowed to stand for several minutes to assure uniform distribution suitable bacteria includes those present in human flora that would be reactive in.
