Description

[Detailed description of the invention] "
As is clear from the results of ``Try &Try,'' wasabi has long been known to have antibacterial effects. However, to date its only use has been as a perfume.

Based on the results shown on TV above, I thought that wasabi would be effective against athlete's foot, so I immediately sprayed a solution of 5 g of powdered wasabi in 1 dl of water on my socks, let them dry, and after a week of testing, it was clear that athlete's foot was not breeding. It was found that foot odor was significantly reduced. There was also almost no bad odor from the shoes, and the smell of leather was maintained. The same results were obtained when Otsuka Pharmaceutical's Oronine ointment was mixed with a small amount of wasabi.

Furthermore, it has been found that by spraying the above solution onto underwear and allowing it to dry, sweat rash can be suppressed and the odor of sweat can also be reduced. In addition, a test in which a dress shirt was soaked in Kao Soap Co.'s Re-Keeping emulsion with a small amount of wasabi and dried was also found to suppress sweat rashes around the neck and reduce sweat odor.

Wasabi is a food, so if you mix a small amount with cosmetics and use it,
As expected, it was effective against sweat rash and sweat odor. When I mixed a small amount with Nutty Paste and used it, I was able to prevent bad breath and my mouth felt very dry. From this, it is clear that making something mixed with a small amount of wasabi has the effect of preventing bad breath and preventing bacteria in the mouth.

Based on the above, we have devised the antibacterial and deodorizing material described in the claims and products to which it is applied (used), which can actively and easily utilize the antibacterial and deodorizing effect of wasabi. This result is not limited to wasabi, but the independent use of wasabi's antibacterial and deodorizing ingredients is of course included in this patent, and it also includes mataiku substances that have the same ingredients. It will be done.
