Odour Management and Anti-odour Performance
topic
Anti-odour performance is assessed by incubating sweat-inoculated fabric specimens with Staphylococcus epidermidis or Bacillus subtilis and measuring odour-causing compound concentrations using headspace GC-MS; sensory panel evaluation rates odour intensity and unpleasantness on standardised scales before and after bacterial incubation.
Role
Validates antimicrobial finishing, odour-absorbing activated carbon treatments, and hydrophobic surface modifications on sportswear and casual textiles where malodour from sweat bacterial metabolism is a primary consumer hygiene and sensory comfort concern.
