Why Does Sweat Turn Shirts Yellow?

The video tutorial addresses the issue of yellow sweat stains on white clothing, explaining that sweat itself is colorless but reacts with antiperspirants containing aluminum chloride to cause discoloration. It highlights the role of apocrine glands, which produce sweat containing fats and proteins that bacteria feed on, leading to odor. The tutorial suggests using aluminum-free deodorants and enzyme-based detergents to prevent and remove stains, emphasizing the importance of understanding the chemistry behind these processes.
