PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce the generation of a regenerated type foreign odor which has been difficult to deal with in the past.SOLUTION: There is provided a method for reducing foreign odor substances generated from a textile product which comprises a step of suppressing the utilization by a bacterium of an Ante-iso fatty acid adhering to the textile product and having a total carbon number of 13-25 including a carbonyl carbon. There is also provided a deodorizing aqueous liquid for a textile product which contains a straight chain unsaturated fatty acid or the salt having a carbon number of 10-24 in an amount of 0.5-20 ppm in terms of acid and has a pH of 4-7 at 20°C.COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT【課題】従来では対応することが困難であった再発生タイプの異臭の発生を低減すること。【解決手段】繊維製品に付着した、カルボニル炭素を含めた総炭素数が13~25であるAnte-iso脂肪酸の細菌による資化を抑制する工程を含む、該繊維製品から発生する異臭物質を低減させる方法;並びに炭素数10~24の直鎖の不飽和脂肪酸又はその塩を、酸に換算して0.5~20ppm含有する、20℃でのpHが4~7の繊維製品の防臭用水性液。【選択図】なし
