The strength of Wakiga odor (odor of bad smell) depends on mental stress

Research that aimed to elucidate the odor of Wakiga carried out by Kao (the odor peculiar to Waki) seems to have elucidated the mechanism of occurrence of Wakiga odor and the influence on mental stress due to mental stress.

It might be an interesting story for those who are suffering from their odor.

Details are as follows.
Elucidation of the occurrence mechanism of Wakiga odor

According to this release, Wakiga smell consists mainly of three kinds of smell (sulfur odor, spicy odor, fatty acid odor), and the sulfur smell (fishy smell of nose) which characterizes Wakiga odor is the same as other odors Is caused by being secreted from the sweat gland with a type of amino acid "cysteine" bound to the substance "3-methyl-3-sulfanylhexan-1-ol" causing odor, It seems that it became clear that odor is generated by being decomposed by bacteria.

In other words, regardless of the type of smell, the wakiga smell is due to the bacterial degradation of skin secretions from sweat glands.

We developed a technique to accurately measure sweat gland secretions causing wakiga odor, and by giving mental stress such as letting 25 female quizzes and calculations in front of people, we will establish relationship between Wakiga odor and mental stress As a result of examination, when mental stress was given, more than 70% of subjects seemed to be getting stronger odor of Waki.

In addition, 10 out of 12 people whose smell remarkably strengthened increased the amount of secretions under the waki as much as 2 to 4 times as compared with the day when mental stress was not given He said that there were people. From these results, it seems that mental stress turned out to be one of the reasons for strengthening Wakiga odor.

As a countermeasure, is it good to manage bacteria on the skin or reduce mental stress? Especially if you are suffering from your own odor and are experiencing mental stress, you may want to change your mood.
