Compositions comprise absorbent gelling materials combined with odor-controlling agents. The preferred particle form of the compositions is easy to handle, and is used in the manufacture of catamenials, diapers, bandages, and the like. The absorbent gelling material enhances the odor-controlling properties of the compositions by helping to control ammonia odors. The odor-controlling agents are protected from deactivation during various manufacturing operations. |
