The problem of odor from the rubber latex industry is a major problem in the rubber industry. Due to complaints about odors from the people in the industry areas. One cause of odor may be associated with the biodegradation process by bacteria such as carbohydrates, proteins, etc., which are present in the serum. And gas generation. At present, industrial plants use water-absorbing odor to reduce the intensity of odor, but it is not very good. Therefore, if you can eliminate the microorganisms that cause odors. It may help reduce the intensity of the smell. This research was conducted to isolate microorganisms from rubber plantations and rubber plant for odor analyzed use in GC-MS technique. Comparing the gas composition with the gas data obtained from the actual air sampling. Odor composition analysis It found that the rubber and lump rubber composed with Acetic acid, propanoic acid, 2-methyl-propanoic acid, butanoic acid, 3-methyl-butanoic acid, pentanoic acid.
