An indicator material for assessing body odor of the present invention comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of a substance (A) which is a β-hydroxycarboxylic acid compound represented by the formula (1), a substance (B) which is a derivative of the compound represented by the formula (1), a substance (C) which is an alcohol compound having a mercapto group at the 3-position represented by the formula (2),and a substance (D) which is a derivative of the compound represented by the formula (2). The present invention also provides a method of producing the compound represented by the formula (2) by incubating perspiration originated from a human in an environment with an oxygen concentration of 10 v/v% or less. The present invention also provides a kit for assessing body odor of a human, wherein the kit for assessing body odor of a human includes a coloration reagent which reacts with β-hydroxycarboxylic acid originated from perspiration of a human.
wherein R1 is an alkyl having 1 to 4 carbons; R2 is a hydrogen atom or an alkyl having 1 to 4 carbons, and the total number of carbons in the formula (1) is 10 or less;
wherein R3 is a hydrogen atom or methyl group; R4 is an alkyl group having 1 to 3 carbons; and R5 is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, the total number of carbons is 8 or less.
本发明的一种用于评估体味的指示剂材料包括至少一种选自以下组成的成员:一种物质(A),它是β-羟基羧酸化合物,由式(1)表示;一种物质(B),它是由式(1)表示的化合物的衍生物;一种物质(C),它是由式(2)表示的在3-位上具有巯基的醇化合物;以及一种物质(D),它是由式(2)表示的化合物的衍生物。本发明还提供了一种通过在氧气浓度为 10 v/v% 或更低的环境中培养人的汗液来生产式(2)所代表的化合物的方法。本发明还提供了一种用于评估人的体味的试剂盒,其中用于评估人的体味的试剂盒包括一种与源自人的汗液的β-羟基羧酸反应的着色试剂。
其中 R1 是具有 1 至 4 个碳原子的烷基;R2 是氢原子或具有 1 至 4 个碳原子的烷基,且式(1)中的碳原子总数为 10 或更少;
其中 R3 是氢原子或甲基;R4 是具有 1 至 3 个碳原子的烷基;R5 是氢原子或甲基,碳原子总数为 8 或更少。
