Clothing worn in close proximity to the human axilla can retain and emanate human body odour even remaining odorous long after removal from the body. Intensity of odour is affected by the fibre type from which the garment is made. Headspace analysis of axillary volatile compounds released from three interlock fabrics (cotton, wool, polyester) following wear were measured using an online monitoring instrument, proton transfer reaction-mass spectrometry (PTR-MS). Compounds likely to be short-chain carboxylic acids increased in the headspace above the polyester fabrics after 7 days. This increase was not evident above either the wool or cotton fabrics. The intensity of axillary odour emanating from these fabrics was inversely related to fibre hygroscopicity. The relationship between a textile fibre/fabric's ability to retain and emanate odour is likely to be related to the metabolic versatility of resident microbial strains and/or the chemical and physical morphology of the fibre and its ability to absorb volatile compounds and precursors to odour. |
