PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a deodorant which can be homogeneously dissolved into solvents such as water, etc. and can deodorize, both simultaneously and efficiently, many types of odoriferous gases encompassing ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, fatty acids, and aldehydes.SOLUTION: The provided deodorant includes, as effective components, at least one type of zinc compound selected from between zinc oxide and zinc carbonate and at least one type of amino acid selected from the group consisting of glycine, alanine, phenylalanine, glutamates, and sarcosine in a state where the combination ratio of the zinc compound and amino acid is confined to a range of 1:2-1:50 in terms of weight ratio and includes, as an additional effective component, an amino alcohol at a weight ratio confined to a range of 1:0.2-1:5 with respect to the zinc compound.COPYRIGHT: (C)2015,JPO&INPIT【課題】 水等の溶媒に均一に溶解し、アンモニア、硫化水素、脂肪酸やアルデヒド類まで多種類の悪臭ガスを同時に効率よく消臭できる消臭剤の提供。【解決手段】 酸化亜鉛および炭酸亜鉛から選ばれる少なくとも1種の亜鉛化合物と、グリシン、アラニン、フェニルアラニン、グルタミン酸塩、およびサルコシンの群から選ばれる少なくとも1種のアミノ酸とを有効成分とし、上記亜鉛化合物とアミノ酸の併用割合が重量比で1:2~1:50の範囲にあり、更なる有効成分として、前記亜鉛化合物に対して重量比で1:0.2~1:5の範囲となるようにアミノアルコールを含有させてなる消臭剤。【選択図】 なし
