Provided are zirconium phosphate particles, obtained by bringing α-zirconium phosphate particles into contact with a basic liquid having a pH of 9 or higher and then further bringing the particles into contact with an acidic liquid having a pH of 6 or lower, or zirconium phosphate particles, in which, after leaving for 10 minutes from putting 10 mg of zirconium phosphate particles and 3 L of air that contains 1,000 ppm of an ammonia gas into a test bag at normal temperature and normal pressure, an ammonia gas reduction rate within the test bag that contains the zirconium phosphate particles is 50% or more.

Zirconium phosphate particles, basic gas deodorant using the same, and production method thereof

A deodorant composition may be suitable for use with an aldehyde gas or a ketone gas, and may include an aminoguanidine salt and a metal chelating agent. The aminoguanidine salt is preferably at least one of an aminoguanidine hydrochloride and an aminoguanidine sulfate. The chelating agent is preferably at least one of an inorganic phosphoric acid and salt thereof, and a carboxylic acid and salt thereof.

Deodorant composition suitable for aldehyde-based gas or ketone-based gas

The deodorizing mask of the present invention has a main body part that includes a deodorizing fiber layer containing a composite fiber having a chemical adsorption type deodorizer bonded to the surface of a fiber with an adhesive composition. The chemical adsorption type deodorizer is a component having at least one type selected from copper and zinc elements. The adhesive composition includes at least one type selected from polyester, poly vinyl alcohol, cellulose, starch, poly acrylamide, poly alkylene oxide and poly vinyl pyrrolidone.

Deodorizing mask

A deodorizing mask includes an air permeable mask main body for covering nose and mouth of the user with at least two types of nonwoven cloth, the mask main body having a deodorizing nonwoven cloth layer including a chemical adsorptive deodorizer and a dustproof nonwoven cloth layer having a dustproof effect, and the air permeability of the dustproof nonwoven cloth layer being &#x2154; or less of the air permeability of the deodorizing nonwoven cloth layer. Preferably, the air permeability of the dustproof nonwoven cloth layer is in a range of 10 to 120 cm/(cm&#xb7;s) in a permeated air quantity based on the Frazir method, the air permeability of the deodorizing nonwoven cloth layer is in a range of 40 to 400 cm/(cm&#xb7;s) in a permeated air quantity based on the Frazir method, and the permeated air quantity of the dustproof nonwoven cloth layer is &#x2154; or less of the permeated air quantity of the deodorizing nonwoven cloth layer.

Antimicrobial peptide provided by present invention is an artificially designed antimicrobial peptide that does not occur naturally, and includes a sequence composed of at least 6 contiguous amino acid residues selected from an amino acid sequence constituting laminin binding site (LBS), or said sequence with one or a plurality of amino acid residue(s) conservatively replaced, and an amino acid sequence that can express antimicrobial activity against at least one kind of bacteria or fungi. It is desirable that the total number of amino acid residues is 100 or less.

Antimicrobial peptides and utilization of the same

Artificially synthesized antimicrobial peptide that does not occur naturally is provided by the present invention. The antimicrobial peptide includes one unit, two units or more units of amino acid sequence composed of the following 8 amino acid residues:

Antimicrobial peptides and use thereof

The present invention provides an artificially synthesized antimicrobial polypeptide that does not occur in nature and an antimicrobial agent comprising this polypeptide as the main component. This polypeptide contains in its peptide chain one or more types of nuclear localization signal sequences (NLSs) and/or one or more units of sequences prepared by partially modifying the NLS(s). The one or more units of NLSs and/or modified NLSs contain at least 5 amino acid residues in total and amount to 30% or more of the total amino acid residues constituting the peptide chain.
