DEODORIZING COMPOSITION

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To remove a malodor component, aldehydes such as acetaldehyde, by using at least one selected from among hydrazines, azoles, and pyridazines and at least one selected from among weak acid metallic salts as effective components. SOLUTION: Though hydrazids, etc., have excellent deodorizing performance itself in removing acetaldehyde occupying a large rate of malodor components of tobacco and formaldehydes vaporized and diffused from a new building material, the deodorizing effect is more remarkably improved by using a kind of additive together. This deodorizing composition is prepared by mixing at least one selected from among weak acid metallic salts into at least one selected from among hydrazids, azoles, and pyridines. The weak acid metallic salts are metallic salts of an acid with a dissociation constant lower than 0.01, for instance, a metallic salt of a carboxylic acid, boric acid, phosphoric acid, carbonic acid, etc.
