Preface:
Odour in Textiles: Generation and Control specifically covers the odour generation and control mechanism in textile materials. The editors of this book have a decade of experience in odour research. Though malodour formation in textile material is very common in day-to-day life, the research in this area is minimal. Even though odour-related research has been performed in the cosmetics and food industries, odour-related studies in textiles are still in their infancy. Textile fabric has always played a major role in odour propagation due to its retention ability of sweat and the ability to act as a substrate for bacterial growth. However, awareness among customers on the influence of textile fibers, structures, and finishes on odour formation in the application is null. The existing research data available are also spread across different domains like healthcare textiles, microbiology, forensic studies, and the biomedical industry.
Hence, it’s been our primary objective to amass such research findings in one place for the next generation of students, academicians, and technocrats. This book provides insight to readers about the influence of textiles and their properties on the formation of sweat in the human body, along with the role of textiles and their fiber content type and structure on odour formation characteristics in apparel. The book also covers various finishing methods, odour control chemicals, and the fragrance used in this sector to control textile malodour. The book is made up of contributions from international experts in this field, covering cutting-edge research and developments. This book is a first of its kind in the textile and fashion discipline that entirely covers the fundamentals of the odour formation mechanism and its control technologies.
Chapter 1 details consumer perception of body odour and textile malodour problems along with the societal viewpoint and importance of the issue. The chapter is contributed by Prof. Ingun Grimstad Klepp and Dr. Kirsi Laitala, from Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway, and Dr. R. Rathinamoorthy from PSG College of Technology, India.
Chapter 2 summarises the ‘human scent’, the current knowledge on the odour formation pathways from the skin and recent methods adapted by Dr. Paola Prada- Tiedemann, from Texas Tech University, USA. Detailed information on the odour- forming compounds in the skin, along with its characterization techniques, are reviewed in Chapter 3, by Dr. Mourad Krifa, from Kent State University, Ohio, USA.
Chapter 4 is devoted to the various textile fibers and fabric structures and their interaction with odourscausing components on the skin. The mechanism of odour formation, along with the role of textile materials, is detailed by Dr. R. Rathinamoorthy and Prof (Dr.). G. Thilagavathi, PSG College of Technology, India.
Chapter 5 provides insight into the odour adsorption techniques to control odour formation with various chemicals. Ayşegül Çetmeli Bakadur from Üniteks Textile R&D Center and Dr. Ahmet Çay from Ege University, Turkey, have provided a detailed mechanism of odour sorption materials.
Chapter 6 describes odour control using synthetic antibacterial agents, polymers, and bacteria application in textile. The interaction mechanisms to control odour molecules and textiles are detailed by Rosie Broadhead, Laure Craeye, and Dr. Chris Callewaert from Ghent University, Belgium.
Chapter 7 mainly concentrates on the application of herbal extracts as a sustainable antibacterial agent on different textile materials. The chapter, which details the effectiveness of these herbal extracts against various odour-causing bacterial strains, is authored by Dr. R. Rathinamoorthy and Prof (Dr.). G. Thilagavathi, PSG College of Technology, India. The role of fragrance finishes in the odour controlling process is detailed in Chapter 8, by T. Hemamalini and Dr. V.R. Giri Dev from Anna University, India. Further, they detailed the various methods used for finishing textiles with fragrance material. Chapter 9 outlines the impact of various other odours like cigarette smoke odour, laundry odour, pet odour, etc. It was written by Dr. R. Rathinamoorthy and Prof (Dr.). G. Thilagavathi, PSG College of Technology, India.
Chapter 10 reviews the effectiveness of laundry on the odour removal process. It was consolidated by Dr. Kirsi Laitala, Prof. Ingun Grimstad Klepp, and Vilde Haugrønning, from Oslo Metropolitan University, Norway.
Chapter 11, which was written by Ms. Sima Shakoorjavan and Dr. Dawid Stawski from Lodz University of Technology, Lodz, Poland, and Dr. Somaye Akbari from Amirkabir University of Technology (Tehran Polytechnic), Tehran, Iran, explains the role of E-nose in textile odour measurement. They also outlined the various analytical tools used in odour measurements.
Chapter 12, contributed by Anton P. van Harreveld, from Sensenet Holding BV, The Netherlands, Rajal Shinkre and Saisha Naik, from Odournet Holding India Pvt. Ltd., India, and Carmen Villatoro, from Odournet S.L., Spain, discusses the various standards and testing methods used in the field of odour measurement of textiles specifically. It also reports real-time cases of odour measurements.
This book provides a window through which the latest advancements in odour research, along with detailed information about basics tenets of odour formation with respect to textile material, can be seen. It is the hope and confidence of the editors and contributors that this book will serve as a ready reckoner for researchers and common people for understanding the role of clothing on odour formation. This book sows the seeds for advanced researches.
