Estimating the term…
A method of screening a damp-dry malodor inhibitor, containing the steps of: bringing microorganisms having a 4-methyl-3-hexenoic acid production capacity into contact with a test substance in the presence of a sebaceous dirt component, detecting the production of a damp-dry malodor-causing substance by the microorganisms, and thereby selecting a test substance having a damp-dry malodor inhibitory function; and a method of evaluating a damp-dry malodor inhibitor, containing the steps of: bringing microorganisms having a 4-methyl-3-hexenoic acid production capacity into contact with a test substance in the presence of a sebaceous dirt component, detecting the production of a damp-dry malodor-causing substance by the microorganisms, and thereby evaluating the damp-dry malodor inhibitory function of the test substance.
A method of screening for a test substance that is a damp-dry malodor inhibitor, comprising the steps of:
A method of evaluating whether a test substance is a damp-dry malodor inhibitor, comprising the steps of:
The method of screening a damp-dry malodor inhibitor according to claim l, wherein the microorganisms comprise at least one microbial strain from a genus selected from the group consisting of Moraxella, Acinetobacter, Pseudomonas, Bacillus, Sphingomonas, Cupriavidus, Ralstonia, Psychorobacter, Serratia, Escherichia, Staphylococcus, Burkholderia, Saccaromyces and Rhodotorula.
