[0014]
Below, the preservation | save test of the liquid soap containing an astaxanthin is demonstrated.
[0015]
<A> Test specimen The test specimen was prepared by comparing solid soap containing astaxanthin with liquid soap. The content of astaxanthin in the solid soap at the start of the test is 0.0014% by weight, and the content of astaxanthin in the liquid soap is 0.0025% by weight.
[0016]
<B> Test specimen storage method Test specimens should be stored in a bright place (light place) by the window in the room and under a sink (dark place) by the window without covering the soap with a container. Soap is put in two kinds of lidded containers made of different materials made of polyethylene (PE) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), which have light-shielding properties. Each was stored below (in the dark). Both solid soap and liquid soap were used once daily. It was stored under these conditions for 4 weeks.
[0017]
<C> Measurement of Astaxanthin Content In the case of solid soap, astaxanthin is analyzed by scraping a surface layer about 1 mm thick from the top of the soap, extracting with ethyl acetate, measuring the absorbance (478 nm), and containing astaxanthin. The amount was determined. In the case of liquid soap, a certain amount of specimen was measured and measured in the same manner.
[0018]
<D> Measurement results The measurement results were sampled and measured 2 and 4 weeks after the start of the storage test (0 weeks). As a result, as shown in Table 1, none of the liquid soaps showed a decrease in the astaxanthin content, but the solid soap showed a decrease in the astaxanthin content of about 85% in the surface layer after 2 weeks. After 4 weeks, it decreased by about 97%, and the effective amount remained only about 3%. On the other hand, even when the soap is stored in a dark place, it is relatively stable and 75% remains even after 4 weeks. A value with a remaining rate exceeding 100% is a measurement error.
[0019]
[Table 1]

[0020]
Thus, by putting the liquid soap containing astaxanthin into the container, it is blocked from the influence of the external environment, the decrease in the astaxanthin content rate is suppressed, and the efficacy of astaxanthin can be maintained. Even in the case of bar soap, the effective amount can be maintained to some extent by storing it in a dark place, but in particular, deterioration of astaxanthin could be suppressed almost completely by making the container light-shielding. The airless pump container, the lidded tube, and the film container can further block the entry of air, and can further enhance the stability of astaxanthin.
[0021]
【The invention's effect】
In the present invention, liquid soap or rinse containing astaxanthin can be placed in a container to suppress a decrease in the content of astaxanthin and maintain the efficacy of astaxanthin.
