Deodorizing activity of polyphenol cxidase (PPO) extracted from apples was investigated by measuring the changes of methyl mercaptan as an indicator of halitosis in human mouths. In the studies of apple extracts on deodorizing activity, the deodorizing activity was increased with the amount of apple extracts. In the cases of adding PPO to the low molecular fraction of apple extracts, the deodorizing activities were increased with the amount of the law molecular fraction of apple extracts and the reaction time of the extracts with PPO. Deodorizing activities of PPO is thought that o-quinone as an intermidiate produced by an oxidative reaction of PPO during enzymatic browning reactions may react with methyl mercaptan to form a non-volatile and sulfur-containing compound .

The preparations of deodorizing fibers using $\textrm{TiO}_2$ have been investigated. $\textrm{TiO}_2$ is known to be an excellent photocatalyst for the degradation of organic and inorganic contaminants in water. $\textrm{TiO}_2$ catalyst have been supported on the glass fiber by a dip-coating procedure. The resulting materials have been characterized by XRD and SEM. The immobilized catalysts were tested in the photocatalytic degradation of $\textrm{NH}_3$, $\textrm{CH}_3\textrm{SH}$ and $\textrm{CH}_3\textrm{CHO}$. The deodorant activity(D.A.) of these deodorizing fibers was measured by chromogenic gas detector tubes. The efficient deodorant activity results have been achieved through the increase of $\textrm{TiO}_2$ sol concentration.

The preparations of deodorizing fibers using $TiO_2$ have been investigated. The fibers were coated with $TiO_2$ for the purpose of deodorizing by dipping fibers into the $TiO_2$ sol solutions and calcined at $450^\circ{C}$, $500^\circ{C}$ and $750^\circ{C}$ for 1 h after coating. The surface structure of the coated fibers was studied with XRD on the different preparation conditions of calcination temperatures. The deodorizing function of the prepared fibers was studied by the determination of the decomposing capability for $NH_3,\;CH_3SH\;and\;CH_3CHO$. The deodorant activity(D.A.) of these deodoriBing fibers was measured by chromogenic gas detector tubes. The deodorizing effect of the prepared fibers were shown to be similar for the three model compounds; 5wt% $TiO_2$ sol solution calcined at $450^\circ{C}$ < 5 wt% $TiO_2$ sol solution calcined at $500^\circ{C}$< 5 wt% TiO$_2$ sol solution calcined at $750^\circ{C}$.

The preparations of deodorizing fibers using medal-phthalocyanines have been investigated. The five metal-phthalocyanine derivatives(M-taPc, M=Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Cu) were prepared in modest to good yields. The metal-phthalocyanine derivative as a deodorant material was introduced to fibers by a dyeing method. The deodorant activity(D.A.) of these deodorizing fibers was measured by chromogenic gas detector tubes. In comparison with untreated fibers, these deodorizing fibers was remarkably effective against $NH_3$ and CH3SH. More than 99% of ammonia can be removed within 20 min. The D.A.(%) of fiber adsorbed M-taPc was more than 80% after 90min.

The deodorizing responses of the steam distillate from some medicinal plants(G-3) on three representative malodors were evaluated by estimating the best estimate threshold(BET) of odor responses. With a single spray of G-3, the BETs of malodors such as ammonia, acetic acid, and ethyl acetate were found to increase 4.11, 32.6 and 13.1 fold, respectively, which indicated G-3 possessed a potent deodorizing activity. The deodorizing potency of G-3 was also demonstrated to be as high as and even higher than those of the commercial deodorizing agents.

This study shows the colorfastness, antibacterial activity, and deodorizing effect about cotton and silk fabrics dyed with Lithospermi Radix Extract. In the case of colorfastness, the light colorfastness showed the lowest grade, the other colorfastness was relatively good. However there are some differences according to fabrics and mordants. In the case of antibacterial activity to Staphylococcus aureus, the cotton fabrics had the most antibacterial effect at the dyed fabrics that had been mordanted SnC1$_2$ㆍ2$H_2O$, and the silk fabrics had the most antibacterial effect at the dyed fabrics that had been mordanted A1($CH_3$COO)$_3$. In the case of deodorizing effect, the cotton fabrics showed the most deodorizing effect at the dyed fabrics that had been mordanted SnC1$_2$ㆍ2$H_2O$, and the silk fabrics showed the comparatively high antibacterial effect at the dyed fabrics that had been mordanted both SnCl$_2$ㆍ2$H_2O$ and Al($CH_3$COO)$_3$.

The preparations of deodorizing fibers using metalloporphyrines hove been investigated. The three metalloporphyrin derivatives(MTCPP, M=Mn, Zn, Sn) were prepared in modest to good yields. The metalloporphyrin derivative as a deodorant material was Introduced to fibers by a dyeing method. The deodorant activity(D.A.) of these deodorizing fibers was measured by chromogenic gas detector tubes. In comparison with untreated fiber, these deodorizing fibers was remarkably effective against $NH_3$ and $CH_3$SH$. More than 98% of ammonia can be removed within 20 min..

Objective : The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of Cheonggugamrosu. a gargling agent made from herb extracts, to decrease oral malodor in vitro and in clinical research. Methods : For in vitro experiment. samples were Garglin (over-the-counter mouthwash), CheonggugamrosuA and Cheonggugamrosu B. Deodorizing activity of each sample against methyl mercaptan were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC). In clinical examination. subjects were 73 students from the oriental medicine school of Kyunghee University. The concentration of VSC in oral cavity of each subject was measured by Halimeter and subjects were divided into 3 groups that would gargle for 30 seconds with normal saline. Garglin and CheonggugamrosuA. Subsequently, concentration of VSC was measured in same way immediately, 2 hours and 4 hours after gargling. Results : During in vitro experiment by GC, deodorizing activities were 46.77% with Garglin, 80.64% with Cheonggugamrosu A and 82.28% with Cheonggugamrosu B. In clinical examination, at 2 hours after gargling, the concentration of VSC in the Cheonggugamrosu A group was significantly lower than in the normal saline group, but not in the Garglin group. 4 hours after gargling, the concentration of VSC in both CheonggugamrosuA and Garglin wasn't significantly different from the one in the normal saline group. Conclusions : Cheonggugamrosuhad better and longer deodorizing effect than Garglin in this study. Because of the safety of herbal medicine and its efficaciousness, we can use Cheonggugamrosu as a clinical prescription.
