Effect of a bioconverted product of Lotus corniculatus seed on the axillary microbiome and body odor

Abstract The skin microbiome, especially the axillary microbiome, consists of odor-causing bacteria that decompose odorless sweat into malodor compounds, which contributes to the formation of body odor. Plant-derived products are a cheap source of bioactive compounds that are common ingredients in c...
