Powders is product applied to the feet to reduce the odor caused by the bacterial
breakdown of perspiration. Foot Powders work either by using fragrance to cover up
malodor or by absorbing perspiration that leads to formation of malodor.

Dalandan's Peels as Foot Powder

According to Rodrigo M. Ramos, the people tend to stay away from it. As soon as
they smell the smell, people tend to look for where it came from where the smell is
coming from and move away from it. It becomes very embarrassing when the source
is your feet, after have taken off shoes and socks. Foot odor is actually a type of body
odor, which as the feet of the person and is generally perceived as unpleasant. Its
odor quality is often described as a thick, cheesy odor.

Some describe the odor as that of malt vinegar, but sometimes it can be ammonia-
like. Foot odor can sometimes be caused by wearing the same socks too many times
in a row. Since socks come in direct contact with the feet, their composition can have
an impact on foot odor. Polyester and nylon are common materials used to make
socks, but they don't offer as much ventilation as cotton, another common sock
material. Therefore, wearing polyester or nylon socks can increase perspiration and
thus increase foot odor. Since socks absorb varying amounts of foot sweat, wearing
shoes without socks can increase the amount of sweat that comes in contact with
the feet, increasing odor-causing bacterial activity.

People who wear nylon stockings or pantyhose may experience increased foot odor.
Wearing shoes or socks with inadequate ventilation for hours also causes excessive
sweating of the feet, as human feet are densely covered with sweat glands. Hair on
the feet, especially on the toes, can also increase odor intensity by providing a larger
surface area for bacteria to thrive. When sweat or perspiration mixes with bacteria,
athlete's foot results. So the root of the problem is bacteria and sweat. Sweat or
perspiration is really unavoidable. But even if it cannot be prevented, the presence
of bacteria or odor can be minimized, if not eliminated.

Related to the study of Rodrigo M. Ramos, the researchers gained interests

conducting an experiment on Citrus aurantium peels in powder form as foot odor
and sweat minimized, which is much more convenient and affordable. Also, the
researcher know that foot deodorants are not that bought in the market because of
its high prices, which is why the researcher became interested in making a cheaper
but effective foot deodorant that can minimize the bad odor and sweating of the
feet.
In the study, Rodrigo M. Ramos used the peels of Citrus aurandum as a
subointment, which contains an oil capable of minimizing octor because it has a
distinctive essence or fragrance. Carrying out the study can help all those who suffer
from heavy sweating on the feet caused by wearing worn shoes. This includes sports
enthusiasts and even students, especially high school and college students. Likewise,
the study can help those who are concerned about hygiene is very important and
should always be a priority.

It is known that people from all walks of life sweat excessively, especially those who
are physically active and play sports, and one part of the body where this problem is
not uncommon is the feet. When the feet produce sweat and become infested with
bacteria, this leads to foot odor. On the market there are many foot powders that
minimize foot odor and sweating.

However, due to the economic crisis the country is facing today, not everyone can
afford these foot powders. For this reason, people should think about a cheaper, yet
affordable remedy instead of the commercially produced foot powders that
arewhich are quite expensive.

The use of Citrus aurantium peels is one of the best solution to this problem. The
study aims to the effectiveness of the different Peels of Citrus aurantium in powder
form with the commercially available font deodorants as to minimize foot odor and
sweat. When the suggestion is proven, people can use it as a alternative foot
powder. Specifically, this means that the
following people will benefit most from the product benefit from the results of the
proposal: Sports enthusiasts. Sports enthusiasts, which include the athletics
track and field athletes and basketball players, can not deny the fact that they could
have foot odor and foot sweat caused by excessive sweating, as they often wear
closed shoes.

To symbolize foot scent, we analyzed its additives through sensory tests, remoted
microorganisms that produce it, and evaluated the mechanism of the prevalence of
foot scent. As a result, foot scent changed into located to be derived from isovaleric
acid, that's produced while Staphylococcus epidermidis, a resident species of the
everyday cutaneous microbial vegetation, degrades leucine found in sweat. In
addition, Bacillus subtilis changed into detected withinside the plantar pores and
skin of topics with sturdy foot scent, and this species changed into proven to be
intently related to improved foot scent. Therefore, we screened diverse clearly
happening materials and aromatic marketers that inhibit microbial manufacturing of
foot scent with out traumatic the everyday microbial vegetation of the human pores
and skin. As a result, we diagnosed citral, citronellal, and geraniol as aromatic
marketers that inhibit the era of isovaleric acid at low concentrations.
Foot OdorFoot smell is a not unusualplace circumstance in youngsters and adults
who put on footwear on a every day basis. People with stinky toes can also be
afflicted by sweaty toes. Most humans with this circumstance may have sweaty and
stinky toes 12 months round, now no longer simply withinside the warm summer
time season months. The smell is produced with the aid of using micro organism
and/or fungus that grows withinside the footwear and attaches to the skin. Some
micro organism genuinely devour away the pinnacle layer of the skin, generating a
nasty smell. Hygiene may be very essential to assist save you stinky toes. Feet need
to be washed every day with cleaning soap and water and clean, dry socks worn.
Some artificial substances utilized in footwear, while combined with sweat and micro
organism, can produce stinky toes. The foot and ankle health practitioner will
advocate one in all a whole lot of remedies for this circumstance.

Introduction to shoe odor In today's society, foot odor has become a major problem
for some people. The medical name is bromodose and it can affect anyone. There
are several conditions that cause this problem, as well as the smell in a person's
shoes. The main cause of foot odor is sweat, but there are many other factors and
medical conditions that can also cause foot odor. These conditions can range from
illness to stress.There could also be circumstances as minor as not drying your feet
after a shower and wearing the same pair of shoes over and over again. There are
several ways to combat foot and shoe odor, from home remedies to over-the-
counter products.

What microbes are associated with foot odor? What are the benefits, if any, of these
microbes for humans? What metabolic processes lead these microbes to the odors
they produce? What diseases can these microbes cause? Bromodose is the medical
term for foot odor.Many people around the world suffer from bromosis.
Bromodosis is caused by microbes that convert dead skin cells on people's feet into
smelly acidic molecules. This is an even bigger problem for runners, as sweat
provides an ideal growth environment for foot microbes. Some think the smell is
caused by sweat. That's not true, because sweat doesn't have a smell, but the
microbes that live on your feet grow better thanks to the moisture that sweat
provides.Another factor that contributes to foot odor is the type of socks people
wear and how often they wash their feet.

Base on the study of David de Peralta about Baking Soda (Sodium bicarbonate) says
that it is an effective foot and shoe deodorizer because of its basicity. Baking Soda is
fungi static, which means that fungal and bacterial spores will not germinate when
the alkaline baking soda is present. Sweat is acidic and is neutralized by the alkaline
baking soda. Baking soda is an alkaline compound that, when combined with an acid,
will produce carbon dioxide gas. The small bubbles of carbon dioxide gas become
trapped in batter, causing it to rise. Common acids used to cause this reaction
include vinegar, lemon juice, butter milk, yogurt, and cream of tartar.
Baking soda produce gas upon decomposition caused by heat. No acid is necessary
for this reaction to take place, only exposure to temperatures above 80°C (176°F)
Baking soda is used to leaven many “quick breads” like pancakes, muffins, cakes, and
fried foods. This batters are not strong enough to hold shape for the length of time
that it takes for yeast to create gas. Because baking soda produces gas quickly, it is
not necessary to let the batter rise for long periods as with yeast bread. When the
batter is exposed to heat, it becomes ridge and the expansion caused by the gas
bubbles is set in place.

If a batter containing baking soda is left to sit at room temperature, it will begin to
rise slowly and becomes slightly fluffy as the acids and bases react in the batter. The
second, more dramatic rise occurs in the oven when the batter is exposed to heat.
Heat accelerates the acid-base reaction as well as it causes decomposition of the
baking soda, both of which produce the living gas. The leavening action of baking
soda is often so rapid that it can be observed in real time.

Baking soda is well known for its ability to absorb odors. For this reason, baking soda
is often placed in refrigerators, and other enclosed spaces to absorb erroneous
odors. Baking soda is also favored cleaner because of its granular texture, which aids
scrubbing and its alkaline pH. Which can dissolve some deposits and build-up.

It’s extremely versatile and can be used as mild abrasive, scouring agent and
deodorizer to dissolve dirt, tackle odors and cut through grime. Replace your cream
cleaner with bicarbonate of soda. Use baking soda to clean your hairbrushes and
combs. Use for cleaning toothbrushes and whitening teeth. It is also used to De-
grease your oven odor caused by laziness of cleaning your oven. For the tea lovers, it
can remove tea stains for mugs.

Baking soda can freshen up your smelly sponges. Bad smells can ruin the taste of
surrounding food baking soda can freshen you refrigerator.
Lemon (Medica aurantifolia). The origin of the lemon is unknown, though lemons are
thought to have first grown in Assam (a region in northeast India), northern Burma
or China. A genomic study of the lemon indicated it was a hybrid between bitter
orange (sour orange) and citron.
Lemons entered Europe near southern Italy no later than the second century AD,
during the time of Ancient Rome. However, they were not widely cultivated. They
were later introduced to Persia then to Iraq and Egypt around 700 AD. The lemon
was first recorded in literature in a 10th century Arabic tratise on farming, and was
also used as an ornamental plant in early Islamic gardens. It was distributed widely
throughout the Arab world and the Mediterranean region between 1000 and 1150.
The lemon was introduced into Spain and North Africa between the years 1000 and
1200 CE. Its young oval leaves have a decidedly reddish tint; later they turn green. In
some varieties the young branches of the lemon are angular; some have sharp torns
and the axils of the leaves. Lemon is one of the most important and versatile natural
medicines for home use. A familiar food as well as remedy, it has a high vitamin C
content that helps improve resistance to infection, making it valuable for colds and
flu.

It is taken as a preventative for many conditions, including stomach infections,

circulatory problems and arteriosclerosis (thickening of the arterial walls).
The flowers have a sweet odor and are solitary or borne in small clusters in the axils
of the leaves. Reddish-tinted in the bud, the petals are usually white above and
reddish purple below. The fruit is oval with a broad, low, apical nipple and forms 8-
10 segments. The outer rind, or peel, yellow when ripe and rather thick in some
varieties, is prominently dotted with oil glands. The white spongy inner part of the
peel, called the mesocarp or albedo, is nearly tasteless and is the chief source of
commercial grades of pectin. The seeds are small, ovoid, and pointed; occasionally
fruits are seedless. The pulp is decidedly acidic.

Lemon peels have a small amount of calcium, which is important for maintaining
strong bones and cellular communication. Lemon peels contain vitamin C, which can
help keep your immune system strong. If you’re starting to feel sick, zesting lemon
peel into your foods or even in your tea could help give your body the extra boost it
needs to power through. Lemon peels also have small amount of potassium, which
like calcium, is needed for cells in the body to communicate properly. Especially
when you sweat a lot, its important to make sure you’re getting enough. Otherwise,
you’re body just isn’t going to function.

Lemon juice is good for colds, flu, and chest infection. It stimulates liver
detoxification, improves the appetite and helps case stomach acidity, ulcer, arthritis,
gout, rheumatism, as a gargle, lemon juice is helpful for sore throat, gingivitis, and
mouth ulcer.

The fiber in the lemon peel is important because fiber is crucial for keeping your
digestive track running properly. The combination of consuming lemon and walking
everyday lowered blood pressure. Some studies indicate that the limonene and the
other flavonoids in lemon rind are directly linked to preventing the formation and
spread of cancerous tumors.
Lemons are high in vitamin C, folate, potassium, potassium, flavonoids and
compounds called limonins. Limonins are found in the juice of lemon. Carotenoids
are beneficial phytonutrients, from other foods during the digestive process.
Carotenoids can have low bioaccessibility and bioavailability, meaning that even if
you eat a carotenoid-richfood like carrots, you might not absorb many of the
carotenoids.

Lemons also give benefits like Lowering stroke risk According to the American Heart
Association (AHA), citrus fruits may help lower the risk of ischemic stroke in women.
And it is also good in Maintaining a healthy blood pressure, Because one Japanese
study found that out of 101 women, those who walked regularly and consumed
lemon every day had lower blood pressure than those who did not. The scientists
called for more research to confirm this. And a study of data from nearly 70,000
women over 14 years showed that those who ate the most citrus fruits had a 19
percent lower risk of ischemic stroke than women who consumed the least. And also
good for Cancer prevention Lemons and lemon juice are an excellent source of the
antioxidant vitamin C. Antioxidants may help prevent the formation of free radicals
that are known to cause cancer, although the exact role played by antioxidants in
cancer prevention remains unclear. And many more.
But there are also risk in using lemons because Lemons are high in acid, so their juice
may affect people with Mouth ulcers, It can cause a stinging sensation. Also it gives
risk to people who have Gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD), It can worsen
symptoms such as heartburn and regurgitation. It is the total diet or overall eating
pattern that is most important in disease prevention and achieving good health. It is
better to eat a diet with a variety than to concentrate on individual foods as the key
to good health.
