HS‐SPME‐GC‐MS analysis of body odor to test the efficacy of foot deodorant formulations

Background/purpose: Foot malodor is mostly due to short‐chain fatty acids produced by bacterial metabolism of eccrine sweating. We aimed to develop a protocol for an objective (instrumental) efficacy evaluation of foot deodorant formulations.
