Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a paste-like hair styling product (pomade) whose main ingredient is an extract obtained from the roots of Aspergillus orientalis (hereinafter referred to as "Torro-Aoi"), and a method for producing the same.

Tororo mallow is an annual plant, and it is well known that the extract (mucilage) obtained from its roots is called neri and is used for making Japanese paper, and is also used as a medicine. If the roots are damaged when digging them up or washing them with water to remove muddy soil, the roots themselves and the extract itself will rot very quickly and emit a foul odor, so be careful when handling them. It is a plant root that requires special care, and both the root and the extract lack shelf life. Another characteristic of the extract is that the rate of viscosity reduction is extremely rapid, and for this reason, there is a strong need for the development of a method for preserving A. japonica root and its extract, and a method for preventing viscosity reduction.

As a result of many years of research, the applicant has succeeded in providing a method for preventing decomposition of the root of A. spp. Among these, the present invention relates to a paste-like hair styling product (pomade) and provides a method for producing the same.

The present invention will be explained in detail below.

Troro mallow is an annual plant, and the extract from its roots is extremely viscous and is used as neri when making washi paper.It also rots easily if the roots are damaged, and the extract will rot if it is not used promptly. As mentioned above, the viscosity, which is the lifeblood of the plant, decreases very quickly.In order to prevent this, when digging up the molasses from the soil, be careful not to damage the roots. Without washing, soak the roots with soil attached to them in a 0.5% to 0.7% solution of cresol soap and store in a cool, dark place.

Immerse in a 3% to 5% salt solution and store in a cool, dark place.

Immediately wash the Tororo mallow root with water, soak it in shochu at 35 degrees to the extent that the Tororo mallow root does not come into contact with air, and store it in a cool, dark place.

As mentioned above, there are three ways to preserve it, but it is impossible to preserve it by immersing it in formalin or hydrogen peroxide because it will rot.

Now, take out the roots of A. japonica preserved using the above method, wash them as quickly and completely as possible with water (rinsing away the soaking liquid and attached soil), and immediately crush them. Next, the crushed roots are immersed in water at a weight ratio of 1:1 to extract the components. (Extraction with water at room temperature.) For items that have been immersed and preserved in shochu, the ingredients are extracted back into the original shochu. (Room temperature shochu extraction) The number of days for immersion in water or shochu (extraction days) is about 2 days when the season is from spring to summer, and about 5 to 7 days from autumn to winter. In such cases, a colorless and transparent component is extracted from the root of the molasses in a soaking tank.

Note that extraction of the components can be promoted by adding the crushed roots to water (or shochu) and stirring.

Once the components have been extracted in the soaking tank, it is filtered to remove cellulose and obtain a colorless and transparent extract. This extract has a fairly high viscosity and is an extract of A. japonica, which has been conventionally used as neri in Japanese paper making.

This extract has a high viscosity, but under normal conditions, it is easily putrefied due to the growth of spoilage bacteria, and the viscosity decreases significantly over time. Therefore, in Neri's research, there is a need for research on preventing the decrease in viscosity and preventing spoilage.

Now, to give an example of an experiment to prevent spoilage and viscosity reduction of the extract of A. japonica extracted using this method, prepare 1,000 g of A. japonica extract, 50 g of salicylic acid, 100 g of glycerin, 30 g of citric acid, and 50 g of water, and add 50 g of salicylic acid and glycerin. Mix 100g of this mixture well, and add 1000g of A. japonica extract to this mixture. Add 50% water to this mixture (liquid)
Add a solution containing 30 g of citric acid and mix.
In such cases, a pasty composition is obtained. Store this paste composition in a cool, dark place or in a refrigerator.
In such cases, this paste-like composition is acidic and has a strong preservative effect, so it can be used for a long period of time (in experiments, it has been prevented from rotting and decreasing in viscosity even after 5 years).
It was possible to preserve the viscosity and prevent the decrease in viscosity.

In other words, it was found that an aqueous solution of salicylic acid and citric acid was effective in preventing the spoilage and viscosity reduction of Neri (extract of A. japonica) and the slime extracted by the above method, and after repeated experiments, the extract Salicylic acid 3% to 5% by weight based on the amount
It has been found that the above method is possible by using the above method with 6% to 10% by weight of glycerin, 3% to 5% by weight of citric acid, and 3% to 5% by weight of water.

This paste-like composition serves as a dispensing base for the oily hair preparation of the present invention, and in the mixture, the extract of A. japonica has viscosity and extensibility and is used for the purpose of being a hair nourishing agent. Yes, salicylic acid is used as a preservative for A. japonica extract.
Furthermore, since glycerin does not combine with other admixtures, it is used to prevent rough skin and soften the hair to enhance the hair styling effect. Glycerin has the property of absorbing moisture from the outside air, so if too much glycerin is used, it will absorb too much moisture and deteriorate the quality of the hair conditioner.As a result of experiments, as a preparation base, it is recommended to use glycerin in amounts of 6% to 10% by weight based on the extract of A. % was appropriate.

Next, citric acid is an acidic substance similar to salicylic acid, and it is natural that it is used for the purpose of preservatives of A. japonica extract. However, if salicylic acid is used alone for preservative purposes, the ingredients will not mix uniformly. It is used because it has the effect of uniformly mixing each compounded liquid when mixed with a citric acid solution.

The paste-like composition extracted and mixed in the above manner does not rot and its viscosity does not decrease, but its components are completely different from Neri, which has traditionally been used for washi papermaking (salicylic acid, glycerin, citric acid, etc.). ), it is presumed that it cannot be called conventional neri and cannot be used for washi paper making.

However, if this paste-like composition is used as a base and treated with myristic acid, aliphatic higher alcohol, glycerin, lanolin, an aqueous potassium carbonate solution, etc., a paste-like hair styling product can be obtained.

The method for producing a pasty hair styling product (pomade) of the present invention using the pasty composition produced by the above method as a dispensing base will be described with reference to the following examples.

First, prepare 1000 g of myristic acid, 100 g of aliphatic higher alcohol (oil), 200 g of glycerin, 200 g of lanolin, 300 g of potassium carbonate, and 1000 cc. Add glycerin and lanolin and mix.

Next, potassium carbonate is dissolved in water, and this potassium carbonate aqueous solution is added to the mixture of myristic acid, aliphatic higher alcohol, glycerin, and lanolin and stirred.

In certain cases, potassium carbonate can be combined with myristic acid to obtain expandable alkaline ``fatty acid potassium carbonate.''

This fatty acid potassium carbonate salt is boiled in hot water to form a dissolved paste, and the paste composition is added in small portions at a ratio of 5% by volume to 1% by volume of this dissolved paste and stirred.

In such cases, fatty acid potassium carbonate (alkaline)
and the paste composition (acidic) are neutralized to obtain a weakly acidic paste hair styling product (pomade). That is, myristic acid is a solid substance, but since it is used to make hair styling products into a creamy state, it cannot be used as a hair styling product as it is, so it is dissolved in an aliphatic higher alcohol to make it into a creamy state. In addition, the aliphatic higher alcohol has the effect of increasing the affinity between myristic acid and other admixtures so that they are compatible with each other, as well as increasing the spreadability.

Next, when myristic acid and potassium carbonate combine, it becomes fatty acid potassium carbonate, which has an extremely hard cream-like consistency, so the aliphatic higher alcohol softens it to some extent, but if it is not used alone, it will not be able to form the paste mentioned above. Since it is not mixed with the liquid composition (preparation base), it is made into a cream with a viscosity that allows easy mixing with glycerin and lanolin. That is, glycerin and lanolin are used in order to have flexibility, extensibility, and viscosity.In addition to obtaining the above-mentioned effects, lanolin is also used in wool fat cosmetics, which is extremely compatible with other admixtures. It has the property of mixing, giving hair conditioners even more flexibility.
It is a drug that imparts spreadability and has hair-nourishing effects.

The hair styling product produced by the above method has high viscosity, flexibility, and spreadability due to the effects of each mixture, and in particular, the viscosity of Troro mallow gives the hair styling product a good viscosity that is not found in conventional pomades. It is easy to apply to curly hair and is not sticky, and if the mixing ratio is as described above, it not only fully exhibits the hair styling effect without causing deterioration in quality due to spoilage, but also has the effect of preventing hair loss.
