Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an antifungal agent, and a garbage odor deodorizing composition and a small fly and / or gnat control composition containing the same. [Background technology]

[0002] In recent years, awareness of deodorization in daily life has been increasing, and various deodorizers suitable for various malodors such as toilet odors, food waste odors, indoor odors, pet odors, and pet feces and urine odors have been developed. The decay of food-derived food waste and the resulting putrid odors can be unpleasant for people spending time in the kitchen or an adjacent living room. Therefore, there is a demand for the development of deodorizers that can prevent the decay of food-derived food waste and the putrid odors of food-derived food waste.

[0003] Various deodorizers suitable for eliminating malodors have been proposed. For example, Patent Document 1 discloses a deodorizer composition containing an alkanolamine compound, a polycarboxylic acid compound, and water, which is effective in eliminating malodors originating from food waste and denatured oil stains.

[0004] Furthermore, for example, Patent Document 2 discloses a deodorizer composition having excellent deodorizing performance against malodor emanating from human or pet excrement or food waste, which comprises at least one selected from tetravalent metal phosphates and aluminum silicates, and at least one selected from the group consisting of hydrated zirconium oxide, zirconium oxide, zinc oxide, basic zinc carbonate, hydrotalcite compounds or their calcined products, and inorganic compounds carrying at least one metal ion selected from copper ions, zinc ions, and manganese ions.

[0005] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2008-23090 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2003-38623 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0006] The deodorizer compositions described in Patent Documents 1 and 2 are intended to deodorize odors that have already been generated. However, food waste usually needs to be stored in each household for a certain period of time before being collected by a garbage truck, and during that time the food waste (especially food) decays, generating a putrid odor, which gradually becomes stronger. Therefore, simply deodorizing the odor of food waste that has already been generated is not necessarily effective enough as a means of combating the decay of food-derived food waste or the putrid odor of food-derived food waste. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The present inventors have focused on preventing food waste from decaying and the development of putrid odors from food waste in advance, rather than on conventional methods of deodorizing already-occurring food waste odors, and as a result of various investigations, have found that certain antifungal ingredients prevent mold from growing on the surface or inside of food waste, thereby preventing the decay of food waste and the development of putrid odors from food waste. Furthermore, they have found that compositions and products containing these ingredients also exhibit excellent deodorizing effects against food waste odors and can control small gnats and / or flies, leading to the completion of the present invention.

[0008] That is, the present invention relates to the following. [1] A mildewproofing agent characterized by containing one or more selected from the group consisting of 3-(Nn-butyl-N-acetyl)aminopropionic acid ethyl ester, p-menthane-3,8-diol, DEET, icaridin, menthol, menthyl acetate, cinnamyl acetate, terpineol, methyl p-hydroxybenzoate, ethyl p-hydroxybenzoate, salicylic acid, sorbic acid, nonyl alcohol, nonyl aldehyde, 1,2-pentanediol, 1,2-octanediol, polylysine, 1,2-benzothiazolin-3-one, 1,4-bis[3,3'-(1-decylpyridinium)methyloxy]butane dibromide, phenoxyethanol, and glycerin mono-2-ethylhexyl ether. [2] The antifungal agent according to [1], characterized in that the antifungal effect is to inhibit the decay of food-derived garbage and / or the generation of putrid odors from food-derived garbage. [3] A garbage odor deodorizing composition comprising the compound according to [1] or [2]. [4] The composition according to any one of [1] to [3], which is in the form of a liquid, foam, tablet, capsule or drug-impregnated body. [5] A composition for controlling gnats and / or flies, comprising the compound according to [1] or [2]. [6] The composition for controlling gnats and / or flies according to [5], further comprising an insecticidal component. [7] The small fly and / or fly control composition according to [6], characterized in that the insecticidal component contains one or more selected from the group consisting of pyrethrin, prallethrin, transfluthrin, metofluthrin, profluthrin, resmethrin, and phthalthrin.

The chemical impregnated body was suspended in a plastic cup containing raw whitebait so as not to come into direct contact with the raw whitebait, and the cup was then covered and stored at room temperature (25°C). After 7 days, the odor concentration of trimethylamine in the cup was measured using a gas detector tube (manufactured by Gastec Corporation). In addition, an untreated area was prepared under the same conditions as the treated area, except that the chemical-impregnated body was not hung, and the odor concentration of trimethylamine in the cup after 7 days was also measured using a gas detection tube. Based on the measurement results, the putrid odor generation inhibition rate (%) = [1 - odor concentration in treated area / odor concentration in untreated area] x 100 was calculated, and the putrid odor generation inhibition rate was found to be 95% or more.

[0053] (2) In the above (1), 1 g of p-menthane-3,8-diol was replaced with 1 g of menthyl acetate, and the other steps were the same as in (1), except that the test was carried out. As a result of the test, the rate of suppression of putrid odor generation was over 90%.

[0054] (3) In the above (1), 1 g of p-menthane-3,8-diol was replaced with 1 g of menthol, and the other steps were the same as in (1). As a result of the test, the putrid odor suppression rate was over 95%.
