Why do bodies smell?

This research conducted by Unilever, University of York, UK, suggests that body odor is caused by an enzyme produced by bacteria found in the armpit (next to the arm). The enzyme is called BO enzyme. The Staphylococcus hominis bacteria release a special kind of chemical in the human body that is responsible for body odor. This bacteria has been present in the human body since primitive times. This is the reason why this bacterium has made its home in human bodies from generation to generation. Apocrine glands are the glands attached to our skin, which remove sweat from our bodies through hair follicles. Researchers believe the bacteria thrived because of these glands. Apart from the armpit, this gland is also found around our chest i.e. chest and genitals. They are also important for the body because with their help the body temperature is controlled.

In addition, researchers have learned the enzyme that is produced only in the armpits of humans and has existed for millions of years, according to researcher Dr. Gordon James. Being recognized has many benefits. For example, now deodorants can be prepared according to this enzyme so that it can be neutralized and the body does not smell.

According to Dr. Michael Ruden, in addition to the structure of the BO enzyme, the structure of other bacteria that produce enzymes has also been understood. This research also provides information about how body odor works and how it can be prevented without harming the bacteria.

According to scientists in Japan, they have developed a special type of lining that can get rid of sweat odor.

People don't do anything to remove sweat odor, but it returns nonetheless. Scientists in Japan have found a solution to this problem. The scientists of Japan have found possibility get rid of this problem. Scientists claim that they have developed Anti-Microbial Lining, which can eliminate the problem of body order. The lining, developed at the University of Tokyo, is less than 10 nanometers thick and contains silver and tannic acid, a type of polyphenol. According to the report of 'Daily Mail', polyphenols are organic compounds found in chocolate and red wine. They are also responsible for putting stains on clothes etc. But the coating the researchers have prepared is completely clear, so it does not spoil the clothes and lasts even after washing. This lining developed by scientists can be used in both new and old clothes. That is to say, clothing companies can apply it while making new clothes or people can buy it for their old clothes.

Can be easily fitted

During research, scientists found that this cost-effective and convenient lining can be easily used with a wide variety of fabrics including cotton, polyester and silk. The special thing is that even after washing the lining clothes, its anti-odor properties remain intact. "The most exciting thing is not how easy it is to apply the lining, but how effective the lining is," said Joseph Richardson of the University of Tokyo's Graduate School of Engineering.

developed in this way

Richardson said that this experiment is not limited to the lab only. They have used lining in their clothes and getting very good results. He said that this anti-microbial lining has been developed with the help of silver and chemicals found in wine and chocolate, which can get rid of the smell of sweat forever. Let us tell you that silver is already known for its antimicrobial properties, but it can be difficult to use in an easy and efficient way on things like clothes. Therefore, the researchers used tannic acid to bind silver (AG) to the fabric.
