Some of us suffer from a constant odour, while others suffer from a transient odour which we cannot smell ourselves. Well a new app for smartphones is being developed that can sense odours from your underarms and feet. It is called kun kun. Some details are given below: KunKun, or 'sniff,sniff' in Japanese, is a pocket-sized device that is designed to detect certain chemicals that cause body odor. The gadget connects to the user's smartphone in order to calculate its findings and report if they are giving off an unpleasant smell. KunKun uses its built-in sensors to search for ammonia and isovaleric acid, which can create that sweaty locker room smell. It also picks up 2-nonenal, which produces a greasy odor and diacetyl – a chemical that makes you smell like 'rancid cooking oil'. The device is set to go on sale this summer and is expected to be a few hundred dollars.
