1、Designation: E1207 09E1207 14Standard Guide forSensory Evaluation of Axillary Deodorancy1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1207; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number

2、 in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope1.1 This guide provides procedures which may be used in the design and analysis of studies to quantitatively assess the intensityof human axillar

3、y odor for the purpose of substantiating deodorant efficacy of personal care products.1.2 This guide includes protocols for the selection and training of assessors, selection of subjects, experimental design, andstatistical analyses. This practice is limited to assessment of axillary odor by trained

4、 assessors. Self-evaluation protocols are validfor selected sensory tasks but may be less sensitive.1.3 With respect to the source of axillary odor, three groups of secretory glands are present in the axillae which participate toa greater or lesser extent in its productioneccrine, apocrine, and seba

5、ceous. Axillary odor has been primarily ascribed to theapocrine gland secretion (1).2 Body odor intensity has been correlated with the volume of the secretory portion of the apocrinegland (2) and the density of the glands.1.3.1 Apocrine glands are found primarily in the axillary vault in conjunction

6、 with axillary hairs (3). Pure apocrine sweat issterile and odorless and axillary odor results from degradation of apocrine sweat by resident skin bacteria (4). High bacterialpopulations are found in moist regions of the body, especially in the axillae, providing the appropriate environment for grow

7、th (5).1.3.2 Eccrine glands keep the axillae moist through thermally and emotionally induced secretions (6).1.3.3 The sebaceous glands excrete higher molecular weight lipid materials which absorb and retain the volatile materialsresulting from bacterial action (7). The aerobic diphtheroids are able

8、to produce the typical acrid axillary odor and themicrococcaceae produce an isovaleric acid-like odor when incubated with apocrine sweat (8). Therefore, the most undesirablecomponent of axillary odor is caused by degradation of apocrine sweat by particular bacteria normally found in the axillary vau

9、lt.1.4 Personal care products are sold and used primarily for their ability to reduce the perception of body odor not only by theindividual using the product but also by individuals within the scope of contact. Deodorant protection may be achieved by theseproducts through various modes of action. An

10、tiperspirants achieve their primary efficacy by means of the action of inorganic saltson the eccrine gland production of sweat. Antimicrobial agents achieve deodorancy by inhibiting the growth and activity of themicroflora in the axillary vault thus reducing the microbial decomposition of sweat and

11、the consequent production of body odor.Absorbents function either by “binding” available moisture or malodorous substances. Fragrances are effective by altering theperception of malodor and increasing the degree of “pleasantness.” Other modes of control become important from time to time,representin

12、g changes in the state-of-the-art in product development.1.5 The studies discussed herein are interpreted through the use of statistical tests of hypotheses. These hypotheses are usuallyof the form:The Deodorant Efficacy of Treatment A= The Deodorant Efficacy of Treatment B1.5.1 It should be noted t

13、hat failure to reject this hypothesis at a specified level of significance does not prove the hypothesis,but merely that the weight of evidence provided by the experiment is not sufficient to reject the hypothesis. This could occurbecause either: a) The hypothesis is close to truth and great experim

14、ental power would be required to reject it, or b) The experimentby design was low in power and, therefore, incapable of rejecting the hypothesis; even when it is far from true. This can occurdue to design structure or low sample size. These facts must be taken into consideration when interpreting st

33、ce provides suggested procedures and is not meant to exclude alternate procedures which may be effectively usedto provide the same clinical result.6. Subject Selection and Restrictions6.1 Criteria for SelectionThe population should be defined and subjects selected from this population in a random, a

34、ndunbiased manner according to the experimental design considerations defined in 8.11. If a test is being performed with the productdirected at a subset of the consuming population, the subjects should be selected from a population representative of the subset.6.1.1 The subjects should have a recogn

35、izable body odor level when evaluated under the procedures given in this practice.6.1.2 In situations where it is desirable to enhance test sensitivity, the following criteria may be adopted:6.1.2.1 Based on the control odor scores (see 8.3), subjects who have low or extremely high odor should not b

36、e selected for thetest. Subjects may be considered as having a “high” odor relative to a normal population if they develop an odor score in excessof 7.0 on a 0- to 10-point scale or 3.5 on a 0- to 5-point scale. Likewise, subjects may be considered as having a “low” odor relativeto a normal populati

37、on if they develop an odor score below 3.0 on a 0- to 10-point scale or 1.5 on a 0- to 5-point scale.Aselectionprocess which excludes “low” odor subjects or “extremely high” odor subjects, or both, must be specified for each test and dependsupon the number of subjects required for the test and the r

38、elative odor scores of these subjects.6.1.2.2 There should be no more than a small right-left odor imbalance between axillae of each subject. On the basis of acategory, or interval scale, the consensus of the task group was that the control odor score differential should not be greater than20 % of t

39、he overall scale (that is, 2.0 points on a 10-point scale or 1.0 points on a 5-point scale).6.1.2.3 Appendix X1 contains additional information on the acceptance/rejection history of experimental subject populations.Aselection process which excludes approximately 20 % of the lowest odor intensity in

40、dividuals of a normal population is generallyrecognized as appropriate.6.1.3 Chronic medications such as antibiotics, steroids, etc., which may affect the test, should be restricted during all test phasesas deemed appropriate by the sponsor.6.1.4 In addition to the above restrictions it should be re

41、cognized that other factors which contribute to protocol operatingefficiency should be emphasized, including interest, cooperation, commitment, and punctuality of the subjects.6.2 Subject RestrictionsIn order to achieve appropriate experimental control, the following restrictions should be imposedup

42、on all subjects during the conditioning and test phases.6.2.1 Conditioning PhaseThis period is often referred to as the “washout” period and is that portion of the protocol precedingthe actual test phase. The duration of the conditioning phase should be a minimum of 7 days. The conditioning phase fo

43、rantiperspirants shall be 17 days as defined by the FDA monograph on antiperspirants (11).6.2.1.1 Subjects should use no antiperspirants, deodorants, antibiotic creams, antibacterial ointments, or any other cosmeticproducts on the axillae. No antibacterial products, including deodorant and medicated

44、 shampoos should be used. Care should betaken not to expose the axillae to any medicated product or product containing alcohol.6.2.1.2 Subjects should use only the control cleansing agent(s) provided by the sponsor as instructed for personal hygiene.6.2.1.3 Swimming should be stopped at least 7 days

45、 prior to the test phase and during the entire test phase.6.2.1.4 Subjects who normally shave their axillae should shave using the control cleansing agent no less than 24 h prior to thecontrol evaluation and abstain from shaving for the duration of the test.6.2.1.5 Spicy foods, including garlic and

46、onions should be restricted 24 h before the control evaluation and during the test phase.6.2.1.6 It is acceptable to use smokers as subjects, but they are required to refrain from smoking for 2 h before all evaluations.6.2.2 Test PhaseIn addition to the conditions detailed for the subjects during th

47、e conditioning phase, the following restrictionsare required of the subjects during the test phase:6.2.2.1 Subjects should use no perfumed substances on the body such as perfume, after shave, lotions, bath oils, and hairspray.6.2.2.2 Pre-laundered wearing apparel (see 8.6) may be worn by each subjec

48、t at the option of the test sponsor. Shirts should becollected and laundered in accordance with a uniform laboratory procedure.6.2.2.3 If specified by the test sponsor, laundry additives such as bleach, fabric softeners, etc., may be used on subjects outerclothing.6.2.2.4 Subjects should minimize ph

49、ysical exertion such as tennis and jogging.6.2.2.5 Subjects should refrain from the use of breath mints, toothpaste, mouth rinses and sprays, chewing gum, and fromdrinking coffee or tea at least 1 h prior to each evaluation. Smoking should be restricted 2 h prior to each evaluation and alcoholicbeverages 8 h before an evaluation.6.2.2.6 Subjects should not wash the axillae during the test week at home.at home for the duration of the test. Axillae shouldonly be washed at the test site in accordance with a supervised wash procedure. Care should be taken not to
