<Method of manufacturing deodorant product and evaluation device>
The method for producing a deodorant product is a method for producing a user-specific deodorant product, which comprises a deodorant component having a deodorizing effect on the body odor component of a specific user. The deodorant product is a composition comprising a deodorant component. Examples of deodorant products include laundry detergents, laundry softeners, laundry bleaches, fragrances, deodorants, mouth washes, soaps, body shampoos, hair shampoos, hair rinses, and hair conditioners. In addition, deodorant products include deodorants and antiperspirants applied to the user's skin or hair. Deodorant products also include cosmetics such as perfumes and fragrance agents. Furthermore, the deodorant product may be a beverage, food or confectionery. Deodorant products include luxury items. For example, deodorant products include gum or candy. In other words, the deodorized product includes various products made of a composition containing a deodorizing component having a deodorizing effect on body odor. For example, suppose that the deodorant product is a laundry detergent. According to this manufacturing method, the laundry detergent specialized for this individual user is manufactured, which includes the deodorizing component capable of obtaining the deodorizing effect on the body odor component of the specific user.

  In the embodiment, the method for producing the deodorant product is simply referred to as "production method". Moreover, the above-mentioned specific user who becomes a user of the deodorizing product manufactured by a manufacturing method is only called "a user." A person who executes the manufacturing method is called a “manufacturer”. The manufacturer may be one or a group of a plurality of people. The manufacturer may be a legal entity.

  The deodorizing effect in the embodiment includes the effect obtained by various deodorizing methods. As the deodorization method, a chemical deodorization method, a physical deodorization method, a sensory deodorization method, and a biological deodorization method as described in Non-Patent Document 2 described above are known. Sensory deodorization methods include masking methods and pairing methods. The deodorizing effect by the masking method is sometimes referred to as a masking effect, and the deodorizing effect by the pairing method is sometimes referred to as a pairing effect. The deodorizing effect in the embodiment may be an effect obtained by combining the deodorizing methods described above. The deodorizing component is a predetermined component having a deodorizing effect. The description regarding a deodorizing component is mentioned later.

  The manufacturing method includes a providing step (S1), a collecting step (S2), a specifying step (S3), and a generating step (S4) (see the flowchart on the left side of FIG. 1). The providing step (S1) is a step of providing the fabric product to be used from the manufacturer to the user in a state of being in direct contact with the user's skin. Examples of the cloth product used in a state of directly touching the user's skin include clothes worn in a state of directly touching the user's skin, or a pillow cover. In addition, the cloth product is exemplified by a towel that wipes off moisture adhering to the user's skin after face washing or bathing. In the embodiment, clothes will be described as an example.

  The clothing provided to the user is a type of clothing worn while in direct contact with the user's skin. Examples of such clothes include underwear or T-shirts worn on the upper body. In the providing step (S1), unweared (unused) clothes are prepared by the manufacturer. At this time, the manufacturer seals the clothes in a package. An example of the package is a resin bag. For example, the clothes are sealed in a vinyl bag. The resin material forming the package is preferably a material with low air permeability. The manufacturer closes the opening of the package after putting the clothes into the package. For example, the opening of the package is closed with a predetermined adhesive or a tape coated with an adhesive. In addition, the package may be a package with a chuck, and after putting clothes into the package, the chuck provided in the opening of the package may be closed. The package may be a resin case. In this case, the lid is put after putting the clothes into the body of the case.

  Provision of clothes from the manufacturer to the user is performed, for example, as follows. Assume that the manufacturer has a store and the user is in the vicinity of the store. In this case, the clothes are directly delivered to the user who came to the store. It is assumed that the manufacturer is conducting sales activities using the Internet. In this case, the manufacturer accepts an application for use on his homepage or the like. The manufacturer seals the garment in a package as described above, and then uses a known service such as home delivery or mail to ship the package. The user receives the delivered package. The provision step (S1) ends when the garment is provided to the user from the manufacturer with the package sealed. The user who received the package opens the package and wears the clothes for a predetermined period. For example, the user wears for 24 hours. Thereafter, the manufacturing method proceeds to the recovery step (S2).

  The collection step (S2) is a step in which the manufacturer collects the clothes worn by the user for a predetermined period and sealed in the package from the user. The user wears the clothes for a predetermined period of time and then seals the worn clothes as it is in the package. The package for recovery used in the recovery step (S2) is a new package different from the package for provision used in the provision step (S1). In this case, the manufacturer provides the user with a package for recovery at the time of providing the clothes in the providing step (S1). However, for example, when the package for provision is a package of the structure which can seal clothes repeatedly, you may make it reuse the package for provision as a package for collection | recovery in a collection | recovery process (S2). Sealing of the clothes in the package for recovery is performed as described above in connection with the providing step (S1). Therefore, the description about this is omitted.

  The collection of clothes from the user by the manufacturer is performed, for example, as follows. Assume that the manufacturer has a store and the user is in the vicinity of the store. In this case, the clothes are collected directly from the user who came to the store. It is assumed that the manufacturer is conducting sales activities using the Internet, and as described above, the application for use is made via the manufacturer's home page. In this case, after the user seals the clothes in a package, the user uses a known service such as home delivery or mail and sends it out. The manufacturer receives the delivered package. When the garment sealed in the package is collected from the user by the manufacturer, the collection step (S2) ends. At the manufacturer, the collected clothes are stored, for example, in a refrigerator. The collected clothes are stored in a state in which the attachment of odor components other than the body odor component of the user already attached to the clothes can be prevented. For example, it is assumed that a plurality of clothes are collected from each of a plurality of users. In this case, the clothes of each user are stored in isolation from the clothes of other users. For example, it is stored in a sealed package or a new package in a sealed state.

  With the completion of the recovery step (S2), the manufacturing method shifts to the identification step (S3). The specifying step (S3) is a step of specifying a deodorizing component having a deodorizing effect on the body odor component of the user attached to the clothes collected in the collecting step (S2). The specific step (S3) includes an analysis step (S31), a selection step (S32), a storage step (S33), and an evaluation step (S34) (see the flowchart on the right side of FIG. 1). In the specific step (S3), the evaluation step (S34) is performed by the number of deodorizing components selected in the selection step (S32) (S35). In the identification step (S3), one deodorant component is identified according to the evaluation result of the evaluation step (S34) (S36). The analysis step (S31) is a step of identifying a body odor component attached to the clothes collected in the collection step (S2). The selection step (S32) is a step of selecting a deodorant component candidate assumed to have a deodorizing effect on the body odor component attached to the clothes collected in the collection step (S2). In the selection step (S32), one or more deodorizing components as the above-mentioned candidates are selected.

  In the analysis step (S31), analysis using, for example, an odor sensor and a pH checker is performed using the clothes collected in the collection step (S2) as a sample. As a result, the region where the generation of body odor in the user is concentrated is identified, and it is determined whether the body odor component is acidic or alkaline. In the analysis step (S31), sensory evaluation is performed on the clothes collected in the collection step (S2). Thereby, it is determined how others feel the user's body odor. Next, in the analysis step (S31), from the clothes of the sample, a portion corresponding to a portion where body odor is intensively generated is cut, and the cut piece of cloth is sealed in a vial. The size of the piece of cloth to be cut is, for example, about 5 cm long x 5 cm wide. Thereafter, gas chromatograph analysis is performed on the gas containing the body odor component volatilized in the vial. According to gas chromatography analysis, the body odor component contained in the above-mentioned gas is quantitatively analyzed. Gas chromatographic analysis is a known analytical method. Therefore, the description about this is omitted.

  In the analysis step (S31), detection tube analysis may be performed. In detection tube analysis, the clothes recovered in the recovery step (S2) are accommodated in a container for detection tube analysis. In the detection tube analysis container, for example, for the gas chromatograph analysis, the whole or a part of the clothes after being partially cut is accommodated. However, the entire vessel before cutting may be accommodated in the container for detecting tube analysis. The detection tube analysis is performed by inserting the tip of the detection tube containing the reactive substance into the introduction port provided in the container in a state where clothes are accommodated in the detection tube analysis container. Also by the detection tube analysis, the body odor component contained in the gas volatilized in the detection tube analysis container can be quantitatively analyzed. The detection tube analysis may be performed while heating the detection tube analysis container in which clothes are accommodated. Conducting detector tube analysis can reduce the number of inspection items of gas chromatograph analysis. Detector tube analysis is a known analysis method. Therefore, the description about this is omitted.

In the analysis step (S31), each analysis described above is performed in the following order, for example. First, an analysis using an odor sensor and a pH checker is performed. Subsequently, sensory evaluation is performed. Finally, gas chromatograph analysis is performed. When carrying out the detector tube analysis, detector tube analysis is performed between sensory evaluation and the gas chromatographic analysis. However, such an implementation order is an illustration. The execution order of each analysis or the like in the analysis step (S31) may be different from this. The order of execution of each analysis and the like is appropriately determined in consideration of various conditions.

  The manufacturer has identified a plurality of body odor components that cause body odor through prior examination. For example, isovaleric acid, valeric acid, butyric acid, isobutyric acid, caproic acid, capric acid, caprylic acid, pelargonic acid, propionic acid, acetic acid, 3-methyl-3-sulfanylhexane-1-ol, 3-mercapto-3-methyl Hexanoic acid, 3-methyl-2-hexenoic acid, 3-hydroxy-3-methylhexanoic acid, 2-nonenal, diacetyl, dimethyl sulfide, hydrogen sulfide, isoamyl mercaptan, methyl mercaptan, ammonia, skatole, indole, trimethylamine, cadaverine It has been identified. In addition, the 25 components mentioned above are examples as a body odor component. The body odor component specified in advance may be a part of these components. Moreover, as a body odor component specified beforehand, components other than these may be contained.

  Further, the manufacturer prepares a database in which one or a plurality of deodorizing components having a deodorizing effect are associated with each of the above-mentioned body odor components specified in advance. The deodorant component associated with the body odor component in the database is, for example, a known deodorant component. For example, the deodorizing component includes a fragrance. The fragrance may be either a natural fragrance or a synthetic fragrance. Examples of natural flavors include mint oil and eucalyptus extract. Examples of synthetic fragrances include aldehyde fragrances. The perfume may be an original perfume (unknown) freshly produced at the manufacturer. For example, the fragrance may be an original fragrance produced by mixing two or more of the fragrances known by the manufacturer at a predetermined ratio. The deodorant component includes various flavors.

  In addition, the following substances are known as deodorant components. That is, a plant extract is known as a deodorant component. Examples of plant extracts include polyphenols, flavonoids, catechins, and persimmon tannins. In addition, plant extracts include cyclodextrins. Cyclodextrins are oligosaccharides produced from corn. Cyclodextrins have cavities in the molecule. It is known that the deodorizing effect by cyclodextrin is exhibited by the fact that the odor component is trapped in this cavity. Furthermore, amphoteric surfactants are known as deodorant components. According to the amphoteric surfactant, the body odor component can be electrically adsorbed and the body odor component can be prevented from volatilizing. Furthermore, lipolytic enzymes such as lipase are known as deodorizing components. Lipolytic enzymes dissolve fatty acids that are body odor components.

  In the embodiment, a composition obtained by mixing two or more deodorizing components is also handled as one deodorizing component. Even if the deodorant component to be mixed is the same, even when the ratio of mixing each deodorant component is different, the composition mixed at each ratio is handled as one deodorant component.

  In the analysis step (S31), the body odor component adhering to the clothes is identified from the body odor components specified in advance according to the result of gas chromatograph analysis or the results of gas chromatograph analysis and detector tube analysis. Thereafter, in the selection step (S32), one or a plurality of deodorant components associated with each body odor component identified in the analysis step (S31) are selected using the database described above.

  The accommodation step (S33) is a step of accommodating the clothes collected in the collection step (S2) in the accommodation chamber 12 of the container portion 11 of the evaluation device 10. In the storage chamber 12, for example, the entire clothes or a part thereof after a part of the clothes is cut when the gas chromatographic analysis is performed is stored. The clothes stored in the storage chamber 12 serve as an evaluation sample in the evaluation step (S34). The evaluation device 10 includes the above-described container unit 11 and a cylinder unit 20 (see FIGS. 2 and 3). The container part 11 is a cylindrical container having a bottom. The storage chamber 12 is a space formed inside the container portion 11. The container part 11 is made of glass, for example. By making the container part 11 into glass, the permeation | transmission of the air from the surrounding side wall and bottom part of the container part 11 can be prevented. Moreover, the container part 11 can be easily cleaned.

  The cylindrical portion 20 is a tubular member in which the first end and the second end are open. The end part on the second side is the end part of the cylindrical part 20 on the side opposite to the end part on the first side. In the embodiment, the opening on the first side of the cylindrical portion 20 is referred to as the “opening 21”. The opening on the second side of the cylindrical portion 20 is referred to as “opening 22”. The cylinder part 20 is connected to the container part 11 at the end part on the second side. In the embodiment, the lid 25 is provided at the second end of the cylindrical portion 20, and the container portion 11 and the cylindrical portion 20 are connected by screwing the lid 25 to the container 11 (FIG. 2). And Figure 3). Therefore, screw grooves are respectively formed on the inner peripheral wall of the lid portion 25 and the outer peripheral wall of the portion where the opening 13 of the container portion 11 is formed (see “R portion” shown in FIGS. 2 and 3). The storage chamber 12 and the opening 21 communicate with each other in a state in which the container portion 11 and the cylindrical portion 20 are connected. An opening cover 30 is attached to the end portion on the first side of the cylindrical portion 20 (see FIG. 2). The opening cover 30 is replaced each time the evaluation process is performed (see FIG. 3). The opening cover 30 is formed of, for example, a fabric or paper.

The mounting portion 26 is provided on the cylindrical portion 20 between the first end and the second end in a detachable manner. In the embodiment, the cylinder part 20 is divided into a first cylinder part 23, a second cylinder part 24, and an attachment part 26 (see FIG. 3). The cylindrical portion 20 is formed by assembling the first cylindrical portion 23, the second cylindrical portion 24 and the mounting portion 26. During assembly, the inner peripheral portions of the first cylindrical portion 23 and the second cylindrical portion 24 and the outer peripheral portion of the mounting portion 26 are fitted together. In this case, the evaluation device 10 from the connection position between the first cylindrical portion 23 and the mounting portion 26 and the connection position of the second cylindrical portion 24 and the mounting portion 26, may be a structure that can prevent the outside air from entering. In the embodiment, the evaluation device 10 is provided with a covering 29. Coating cover 29 covers the respective connection positions of the first cylindrical portion 23 and the second cylindrical portion 24 and the mounting portion 26. The covering cover 29 can suppress the entry of outside air from each connection position described above.

  A medium 40 containing one deodorizing component is set in the mounting portion 26. The deodorizing component included in the medium 40 is one of the deodorizing components selected in the selection step (S32). In the attachment portion 26, the placement portion 27 on which the medium 40 is placed is in the form of a net in which a plurality of through holes 28 are formed. The medium 40 may be fixed to the placement unit 27 using a predetermined member. The medium 40 is formed of a highly breathable material. For example, the medium 40 is formed of a fabric having excellent air permeability. A filter paper may be used as the medium 40. The solution containing each deodorant component selected in the selection step (S32) is attached to the medium 40. When adhering to the medium 40, the solution containing the deodorizing component may be diluted with an odorless liquid. The solution containing the deodorizing component is sprayed onto the medium 40 using a sprayer. In addition, a solution containing a deodorant component may be applied to the medium 40 using a brush or a brush. 2 and 3, the illustration of the medium 40 is simplified.

  The evaluation step (S34) is a step of evaluating the odor that reaches the opening 21 through the medium 40 from the storage chamber 12 in which the clothes are stored in the storage step (S33). In the embodiment, the evaluation of the odor in the evaluation step (S34) is performed by sensory evaluation using an odor sense. An alternate long and short dash line shown in FIG. 2 indicates the direction in which the odor flows from the storage chamber 12 to the opening 21. Sensory evaluation is performed by an inspector. Inspectors are included in the manufacturer. The inspector is, for example, a person who has a certain experience in sensory evaluation of the odor due to odor. The inspector may be a person qualified for olfactory measurement. An example of the qualification for odor measurement is an odor judge. In the evaluation step (S34), the cylinder portion 20 is disassembled, and the medium 40 including the one deodorizing component selected in the selection step (S32) is set on the attachment portion 26 (see FIG. 3). Then, the 1st cylinder part 23, the 2nd cylinder part 24, and the attaching part 26 are assembled. Thereafter, the portion of the container 11 in which clothes are stored in the storage chamber 12 is heated. In the embodiment, this heating is performed by immersing the container part 11 in hot water maintained at a constant temperature by the heater 50 (see FIG. 2). In the heater 50, the heating temperature is set to a predetermined temperature in the range of 40 to 60 ° C. The heating temperature mentioned above is an illustration. The heating temperature is appropriately set in consideration of various conditions. The sensory evaluation in the evaluation step (S34) is performed in a state where the container part 11 is heated.

  In the evaluation step (S34), the inspector performs sensory evaluation of the odor that flows into the opening 22 from the storage chamber 12 in which clothes are stored, passes through the medium 40, and reaches the opening 21. The inspector performs the evaluation step (S34) on all the deodorizing components selected in the selection step (S32). That is, when a plurality of deodorant components are selected in the selection step (S32), the inspector repeats the evaluation step (S34) by the number of selected deodorization components (S35: No). The inspector replaces the opening cover 30 each time the evaluation step (S34) is repeated. The opening cover 30 can prevent the smell of the inspector from adhering to the first side end of the cylindrical portion 20. By replacing the opening cover 30, the evaluation step (S34) can be repeated without being affected by the smell of the inspector attached to the opening cover 30 during the previous evaluation step.

  When all the selected deodorant components have been evaluated (S35: Yes), the inspector can obtain the best deodorant effect obtained in the sensory evaluation in the performed evaluation step (S34). The components are identified (S36). When there is one deodorant component selected in the selection step (S32), the evaluation step (S34) is performed only once for the one deodorant component. In this case, the deodorizing effect of one deodorant component is confirmed by sensory evaluation in one evaluation step (S34), and the one deodorant component obtains the most excellent deodorant effect at S36. Specified as one deodorant component.

  An example of an embodiment of S34 to S36 will be described. In this description, mint oil, eucalyptus extract, and aldehyde-based fragrance are selected as deodorizing components in the selection step (S32), and the evaluation step (S34) is performed in the order of mint oil, eucalyptus extract, and aldehyde-based fragrance. ) Will be done. In this case, the inspector attaches the first solution containing mint oil to the unused medium 40, and sets the medium 40 on the new or cleaned attachment part 26 to assemble the cylinder part 20. Further, the inspector attaches an unused opening cover 30 to the end portion on the first side of the cylindrical portion 20. Thereafter, the inspector performs sensory evaluation of the odor that has reached the opening 21 through the medium 40 containing mint oil while heating the container portion 11 as described above.

  When this sensory evaluation is completed, no sensory evaluation is performed on the eucalyptus extract and the aldehyde-based fragrance (S35: No). Then, the inspector disassembles the cylinder portion 20, removes the medium 40 containing the mint oil from the mounting portion 26, and cleans the mounting portion 26. The inspector attaches the second solution containing the eucalyptus extract to the unused medium 40, sets the medium 40 on the washed attachment portion 26, and assembles the cylinder portion 20. Further, the inspector removes the opening cover 30 from the first side end of the cylindrical portion 20 and attaches an unused opening cover 30. Thereafter, the inspector performs sensory evaluation of the odor that has reached the opening 21 through the medium 40 containing the eucalyptus extract while heating the container 11.

  When this sensory evaluation is completed, sensory evaluation has not been performed on aldehyde-based perfumes (S35: No). Therefore, the inspector disassembles the cylinder portion 20, removes the medium 40 containing the eucalyptus extract from the attachment portion 26, and cleans the attachment portion 26. The inspector attaches a third solution containing an aldehyde-based perfume to the unused medium 40, sets the medium 40 to the cleaned attachment part 26, and assembles the tubular part 20. Further, the inspector removes the opening cover 30 from the first end of the cylindrical portion 20 and mounts the unused opening cover 30. Thereafter, the inspector performs sensory evaluation of the odor that has passed through the medium 40 containing the aldehyde-based fragrance and reaches the opening 21 while heating the container portion 11. With the end of the sensory evaluation, the evaluation of the three deodorizing components selected in the selection step (S32) ends (S35: Yes). In addition, although description was abbreviate | omitted above, you may make it wash | clean the 1st cylinder part 23 and the 2nd cylinder part 24, whenever the cylinder part 20 is disassembled.

  Next, the inspector identifies one deodorant component that provided the best deodorizing effect among the mint oil, the eucalyptus extract, and the aldehyde-based flavor (S36). The identification step (S3) ends when the first deodorizing component is identified. In the evaluation device 10, the cylindrical portion 20 is disassembled, and the medium 40 containing the eucalyptus extract is removed from the mounting portion 26. Moreover, the cylinder part 20 is removed from the container part 11, and clothes are taken out. Thereafter, the entire evaluation apparatus 10 is cleaned.

  At the end of the identification step (S3), the manufacturing method shifts to the generation step (S4).

Regarding the production of the deodorant product containing the deodorant component specified in the specific step (S3), the composition serving as the base of this deodorant product is produced in the same manner as known deodorant products. For example, it is assumed that the deodorant product is a laundry detergent and the mint oil is identified in the identification step (S3). In this case, in the production step (S4), laundry detergent containing mint oil is produced. With respect to the production of laundry detergents containing mint oil, the base composition of the laundry detergent (substances other than mint oil) is produced in the same manner as known laundry detergents. Therefore, the description regarding the method of producing | generating the composition used as the base of a deodorizing product (laundry detergent) is abbreviate | omitted. With the end of the generation step (S4), the manufacturing method ends.

  When the deodorant product produced in the production step (S4) is a liquid, the deodorant product is packed in a predetermined bag or container. Moreover, when the deodorizing product produced | generated at the production | generation process (S4) is solid, a deodorizing product is packed in a predetermined bag or a container, or is wrapped in a predetermined packaging paper. That is, the deodorized product produced | generated at the production | generation process (S4) is made into the aspect according to the state similarly to a well-known deodorized product, and is provided for a user after that.

<Effect of the embodiment>
According to the embodiment, the following effects can be obtained.

  (1) In the manufacturing method, a providing step (S1), a collecting step (S2), a specific step (S3), and a generating step (S4) are performed (see the flowchart on the left side of FIG. 1). In the providing step (S1) and the collecting step (S2), the clothes are delivered between the manufacturer and the user with the clothes sealed. In the specifying step (S3), using the clothes collected in the collecting step (S2) as a sample, a deodorizing component having a deodorizing effect on the body odor component adhering to the clothes is specified (S36), and a generating step (S4) Then, a deodorant product containing this deodorant component is produced.

  Therefore, it is possible to specify a deodorant component suitable for the body odor component attached to the garment that is worn for a predetermined period while the specific user is in contact with the skin. In the providing step (S1) and the collecting step (S2), it is possible to prevent the clothes as the sample in the specific step (S3) from being exposed to the outside air. Furthermore, this garment can be prevented from being touched by anyone other than the user. Therefore, it can suppress that odor components other than a user's body odor component adhere to clothes.

  (2) In the identification step (S3), the storage step (S33) is performed, and subsequently, the evaluation step (S34) is performed. In the storing step (S33), the clothes collected in the collecting step (S2) are stored in the storing chamber 12. In the evaluation step (S34), the odor passing through the medium 40 from the storage chamber 12 in which the clothes are stored in the storage step (S33) and reaching the opening 21 is subjected to sensory evaluation. The evaluation step (S34) is performed on the deodorant component selected in the selection step (S32). The evaluation step (S34) is performed once for one deodorant component when the deodorant component selected in the selection step (S32) is one. An evaluation process (S34) is implemented in multiple times for each of a several deodorizing component, when the deodorizing component selected by the selection process (S32) is plural (S35: No). That is, the evaluation step (S34) is repeated by the number of the deodorizing components selected in the selection step (S32). In the specific step (S3), when the evaluation step (S34) for all of the one or more deodorant components selected in the selection step (S32) is carried out (S35: Yes), it has already been carried out. In the sensory evaluation in the evaluation step (S34), one deodorizing component that provided the best deodorizing effect is specified (S36).

  Therefore, sensory evaluation of odor can be performed in the state where the influence of external air is suppressed. The odor containing the body odor component passes through the medium 40 containing the deodorizing component, and the deodorizing effect of the deodorizing component can be appropriately evaluated. Among the plurality of deodorizing components, the deodorizing component that can obtain a high deodorizing effect on the body odor component can be appropriately specified.

  (3) The evaluation step (S34) is performed in a state where the container part 11 is heated by the heater 50 (see FIG. 2). Therefore, the body odor component adhering to the clothes can be easily volatilized. Sensory evaluation can be performed smoothly. The accuracy of sensory evaluation can be improved.

  (4) In the identification step (S3), the analysis step (S31) and the selection step (S32) are performed prior to the evaluation step (S34). In the manufacturer, a plurality of body odor components that cause body odor are identified by prior examination, and a database in which deodorant components are associated with each body odor component is constructed. In the analysis step (S31), the body odor component adhering to the clothes is identified from the body odor components specified in advance by the above-described analysis including gas chromatograph analysis. In the selection step (S32), one or more deodorizing components associated with the body odor component identified in the analysis step (S31) are selected using the database described above. As a result, the number of evaluation steps can be reduced. As a result, the time required for the specific process can be shortened.

<Modification>
Embodiments can also be as follows. Several configurations of the modifications shown below can be combined appropriately and adopted. Hereinafter, points different from the above will be described, and description of similar points will be omitted as appropriate.

  (1) As an example of a cloth product used in a state of being in direct contact with the skin of the user, a garment has been described (see FIG. 2). For example, if the deodorant product is a hair shampoo, the fabric product may be a pillow cover or a hat as described above. Besides, when the deodorant product is a mouthwash, the fabric product may be a mask. The fabric product used in a state in which the user's skin is directly touched is appropriately determined according to the type of the deodorizing product. Fabric products include various products formed from fabric.

  (2) The manufacturing method includes a providing step (S1) and a recovery step (S2) (see FIG. 1). In the providing step (S1), the non-worn (unused) clothes are provided from the manufacturer to the user in a state of being sealed in the package. The user wears the received clothes for a predetermined period. In the collecting step (S2), the clothes worn by the user for a predetermined period and sealed in the package are collected from the user to the manufacturer. In the manufacturing method, the providing step (S1) may be omitted. In this case, for example, the manufacturer asks the user to wear unused clothes that he / she owns for a predetermined period and then bring or ship the product to the manufacturer in a sealed state in a package. . The manufacturer may provide the user with a collection package. In the collection step (S2), the user-owned clothes worn by the user for a predetermined period are collected from the user to the manufacturer in the same manner as described above, while being sealed in the package. Each process after a specific process (S3) is implemented in the same manner to the clothes collected at a recovery process (S2) as a target.

  (3) In the specific step (S3), the analysis step (S31) and the selection step (S32) may be omitted. For example, when the inspector has abundant knowledge and experience, the analysis step (S31) and the selection step (S32) can be omitted. In addition, when the manufacturer newly starts the business by the manufacturing method, the body odor component causing the body odor as described above is not specified at the start of the business and has a deodorizing effect on the body odor component In some cases, a database associated with deodorant components is not prepared. Even in such a case, the analysis step (S31) and the selection step (S32) are omitted. After starting the business, by accumulating various data, the analysis step (S31) and the selection step (S32) can be included in the specific step (S3).

  (4) In the evaluation step (S34), the inspector performs a sensory evaluation of the odor. The evaluation process may be performed by measuring the odor passing through the medium 40 from the storage chamber 12 in which the clothes are stored in the storage process (S33) and reaching the opening 21 using an analyzer. In this case, in S36, the one deodorant component with which the most excellent deodorizing effect was acquired is specified from the measured value in the implemented evaluation process (S34) (S36).

  (5) The evaluation step (S34) is performed in a state where the container portion 11 in which the clothes are stored in the storage chamber 12 is dipped in hot water maintained at a constant temperature by the heater 50 (see FIG. 2). You may make it perform the heating in an evaluation process (S34) by the method different from this. For example, an electric heater such as an electric heater may be attached to the periphery of the container part 11 or arranged around the container part 11 so that the container part 11 is heated by heat from the electric heater. The warm air from the warm air blower may be blown toward the container unit 11 to heat the container unit 11. That is, in the evaluation step (S34), various methods can be employed as a method for heating the container part 11. About the heating method of the container part 11, considering various conditions, it determines suitably. In addition, even if it is normal temperature, when the body odor component adhering to clothes volatilizes and sensory evaluation can be performed appropriately, the heating of the container part 11 may be omitted.
