“…VOCs observed on and in skin are derived from: glandular secretions; perfusion from underlying blood vessels; products of micro-biological metabolism; and exogenous components (Environmental contamination and personal care products for example) [1][2]. The highly individualised and dynamic nature of these profiles, and the utility of skin profiling have been reviewed [3].…”

“…Personal care products are used to mask and reduce body odor caused by the microbial metabolism of sweat. Some personal care products contain antimicrobial agents that decrease the number of bacteria and consequently avoid the unpleasant smell of the microbial secretion compounds (1). However, some antimicrobial chemicals are associated with adverse effects such as hypersensitivity, allergic reaction, immunity suppression, and microbial resistance that can emerge with its indiscriminate use.…”

Potential of the Essential Oil from Pimenta Pseudocaryophyllus as an Antimicrobial Agent

This study evaluated the effectiveness of the essential oil of Pimenta pseudocaryophyllus in inhibiting the growth of the main bacteria responsible for bad perspiration odor (Staphylococcus epidermidis, Proteus hauseri, Micrococcus yunnanensis and Corynebacterium xerosis). The chemical profile of the essential oil was evaluated by high-resolution gas chromatography (HR-GC) and four constituents were identified, eugenol being the major component (88.6 %). The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by means of the turbidimetric method, using the microdilution assay. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of the essential oil ranged from 500 to 1,000 μg mL-1. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations confirmed the physical damage and morphological alteration of the test bacteria treated with the essential oil, reference drugs and eugenol. The findings of the study demonstrated that this essential oil can be used in the formulation of personal care products.

“…Fig. 4 shows the electrical responses of the sensors towards ammonia, acetic acid, acetone and ethanol that are mainly presented in the complex volatiles released from axillary skin [9]. Therefore, based on these characteristics the designed wearable e-nose is considered as suitable system to investigate the VOC fingerprints of human odors.…”

A wearable electronic nose (e-nose) has been developed by integrating a low cost chemical sensor array with a wireless communication for applications in healthcare. Its sensing unit was fabricated by a fully inkjet-printing technique, comprising eight different sensor elements manufactured by varying printing patterns and sensing materials. These sensors have shown response to a wide variety of complex odors. A wearable e-nose prototype using Zigbee wireless technology was designed as a compact armband for monitoring the axillary odor released from human body. Preliminary results based on principal component analysis (PCA) could classify different odors released from the human body upon various activities
