This deodorant comprises a crystalline zinc oxide obtained by conjugating zinc oxide and aluminum oxide, the deodorant being characterized in that the mole ratio (ZnO/Al2O3) of the zinc oxide to the aluminum oxide is 40-80. As a result, it is possible to obtain a strong deodorizing effect against sulfur gases and acidic gases. A favorable average particle diameter for the deodorant is 0.2-15[mu]m.本發明之除臭劑,其特徵係由氧化鋅及氧化鋁複合化之結晶質氧化鋅而成,且氧化鋅及氧化鋁之莫耳比(ZnO/Al2O3)為40~80。藉此,可獲得對於硫系氣體及酸性氣體之高除臭效果。除臭劑之較佳平均粒徑為0.2~15μm。
