Abstract

The efficiency of a feet deodorization product was tested on a group of previously screened volunteers under laboratory conditions. Feet odour intensity was assessed by a calibrated and trained olfactory panel after 24 hours and 48 hours of continuously wearing the same socks. The results demonstrated that the tested deodorization product was effective in reducing the feet odour intensity from distinguishable to weak. Such reduction was equivalent to the 23% and the 30% after 24 hours and 48 hours, respectively, in terms of odour intensity units.
