Trial #0
To test the effectiveness of PAK-IT 3 in 1 Disinfectant, Cleaner, Deodorizer water soluble pods on spoiled milk malodor.
Six clean 250 ml glass bottles were filled with 6 ml of spoiled whole milk. The supplied cleaning product needed to be dissolved in water in order to become ready to use. A comparative product was chosen as the second cleaning product to test against the one supplied. Three bottles were treated for each supplied cleaner for three treatment cycles, with each treatment cycle consisting of two sprays of the respective cleaner directly into the bottle. Following each treatment cycle the bottles were swirled around so the cleaner can mix with the cleaner. After each treatment cycle the panelists rated the malodor of the milk in the bottles.
The panelists rated the malodor of the milk after each treatment cycle, from a value of 1 defined as no malodor to a value of 5 as high malodor. Subsequently, the nine milk bottles were allowed to ferment at room temperature overnight to see if there are any increase in malodor level after an overnight sit. Thereafter, the same panelists rated the malodor of the milk after the overnight aging of the milk bottles. The nine bottles were then subjected to a final treatment cycle, which consisted of two sprays of their respective supplied cleaners. The panelists then rated the malodor level for each milk bottles.
