Inhibition of microbial production of the malodorous substance isovaleric acid by 4,4ʹ dichloro 2‐hydroxydiphenyl ether (DCPP)

Abstract Human body malodour is a complex phenomenon. Several types of sweat glands produce odorless secretions that are metabolized by a consortium of skin‐resident microorganisms to a diverse set of malodorous substances.
