It is widely accepted that axillary malodour is driven by volatile fatty acids (VFAs), thioalcohols and steroids, which are by-products of the microbial biotransformation of odourless precursor molecules originating from the apocrine gland. Due to volatility and size, the molecules of interest can be challenging to sample and analyse, leading to loss of valuable information. Read more
