(Patent Document 1)
Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-139991

  An object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning composition that exhibits sufficient bactericidal performance and imparts fragrance, preferably solid type, uses waste, is inexpensive, and is environmentally friendly. .

  As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that the above object can be achieved by a detergent composition containing natural essential oil and calcium hydroxide, and have completed the present invention. Furthermore, the present invention found a solid deodorant composition comprising calcium oxide and water mixed and reacted to form calcium hydroxide, and then mixed with natural essential oil, thereby completing the present invention.

Here, as said calcium oxide, you may use the powder which grind | pulverized the shell which is a waste, and baked at 500 to 1800 degreeC.
Examples of natural essential oils include limonene, which is a component of orange oil.

  The cleaning composition of the present invention is not only good in its bactericidal and aromatic properties, but also in consideration of environmental problems utilizing waste shells. It can be manufactured at a relatively low cost compared to products.

The cleaning composition of the present invention will be described.
First, the natural essential oil used in the present invention will be described.
Natural essential oils are oils obtained from plants, but there are many types and many expensive ones. Among natural essential oils, terpene compounds that are inexpensive and available in large quantities industrially will be further described.
Terpene compounds are abundant in natural plant-based essential oils and are excellent in safety.
Industrially, it is extracted from plant trunks, leaves and fruits. Of these, many are obtained from pine crabs and orange peels.

  Examples of the terpene compound include a monoterpene compound having 10 carbon atoms, a sesquiterpene compound having 15 carbon atoms, a diterpene compound having 20 carbon atoms, a triterpene compound having 30 carbon atoms, and a multimer of monoterpene compounds. These terpene compounds include those having a chain structure, monocyclic ones, and further polycyclic ones. In addition to hydrocarbons, there are alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, ethers, carboxyl bases, etc., any of which can be used. Specific examples thereof include the following, but are not limited thereto.

1) Examples of monoterpene compounds α-pinene, β-pinene, dipentene, limonene, ferrandolene, α-terpinene, γ-terpinene, terpinolene, myrcene, alloocimene, camphene, bornylene, paramenten-1, paramenten-2, paramenten- 3. Paratertadiene, paramentane, 2-carene, 3-carene, monoterpene hydrocarbons such as tujan, α, β and γ terpineol, 4-terpineol, paramentenol, paramentanol, geraniol, linalool, nerol Monoterpene alcohols such as citronellol, arosimenol, myrsenol, carveol, menthol, borneol, isoborneol, fentil alcohol, berbenol, and terpene aldehydes such as citral, citronellal Isopuregon, carboxylic, terpene ketones such as camphor, water-saturated turpentine, a terpene diols such as p-menthane diol, 1,4-cineole, 1,8-terpene ethers such as cineole, or the like.

2) Examples of sesquiterpene compounds Sesquiterpene hydrocarbons such as longifolene, caryophyllene, kadinene, tsuyopsen, cedrene, cloben, and longgipinene, and sesquiterpene alcohols such as elemol, casinol, and eudesmol.

3) Examples of diterpene / triterpene compounds Rosin compounds such as camphorene, kaurene, abietinol, abietic acid, pimaric acid, isopimaric acid, levopimaric acid, neoabietic acid, and squalene.

4) Examples of multimers of monoterpene compounds Dimers of monoterpene compounds such as pinene dimer, limonene dimer, and alloocimene dimer, and polymers of monoterpenes such as pinene polymer and dipentene polymer.

These terpene compounds may be used alone or in combination of two or more.
Natural essential oils containing terpene compounds can impart bactericidal properties as well as aroma.
Among the terpene compounds, limonene is preferable.

The calcium hydroxide used in the present invention is capable of killing bacteria, fungi and the like by an alkaline action even if calcium hydroxide itself is used, as long as natural essential oil is adsorbed and held by calcium hydroxide. , Both bactericidal and aromatic.
The usage ratio of calcium hydroxide and natural essential oil is usually 0.1 to 240 parts by weight, preferably 1 to 120 parts by weight of natural essential oil with respect to 100 parts by weight of calcium hydroxide.
If it is less than 0.1 part by weight, the bactericidal effect is lost, and if it exceeds 240 parts by weight, calcium hydroxide exceeds the limit that can contain natural essential oil.
Furthermore, the preferable example can mention what natural essential oil was capture | acquired in the capsule which uses calcium hydroxide as a shell.
That is, by encapsulating natural essential oil with calcium hydroxide, it is possible to prevent natural essential oil from leaching and scattering and alteration due to oxygen, and to maintain a bactericidal effect. Moreover, since natural essential oil does not touch a product directly, safety improves.

The calcium hydroxide used in the present invention may be calcium hydroxide obtained by mixing and reacting calcium oxide and water.
The detergent composition can be produced by mixing and reacting natural essential oil, calcium oxide obtained by pulverizing and firing shells and the like, and water.

The shell of the present invention is not particularly problematic as long as it is a natural shell, but in the present invention, specifically, a shell that is a waste discharged from an edible shell processor is preferable. For example, edible shellfish such as red shellfish, mussels, oysters, clams, abalone, and turban shells.
The main component of these shells is calcium carbonate. In the present invention, the shells are pulverized and used at a temperature of 500 to 1800 ° C, preferably 800 to 1100 ° C, more preferably 950 to 1000 ° C. is there.
Most of calcium carbonate or the like changes to calcium oxide or the like by firing at the above temperature.
Calcium oxide easily hydrates with water and becomes calcium hydroxide with heat generation. At this time, if a compound having bactericidal properties is present, the compound is adsorbed and held by calcium hydroxide during the hydration reaction.
Here, a favorable detergent composition can be obtained by changing the ratio of natural essential oil, calcium oxide and water. That is, when these ratios are optimized, the natural essential oil having bactericidal properties can be completely captured in a capsule having a calcium hydroxide shell. Further, these ratios affect the capsule particle size and the shell thickness. The particle size of the capsule and the thickness of the shell are important factors of the molded article of the present invention because they affect the leaching amount and leaching rate of the antibacterial or repellent compound trapped therein.

  The ratio of natural essential oil, calcium oxide and water used in the above production method is usually 0.1 to 180 parts by weight, preferably 1 to 120 parts by weight, and 5 to 100 parts by weight of natural essential oil with respect to 100 parts by weight of calcium oxide. -60 parts by weight, preferably 10-50 parts by weight. If the natural essential oil is less than 0.1 parts by weight, the deodorizing effect is small, and if it exceeds 180 parts by weight, the strength is inferior, which is not preferable. On the other hand, if the amount of water is less than 5 parts by weight, the hydration reaction is insufficient, and if it exceeds 60 parts by weight, the airtightness and strength are inferior.

  Calcium oxide used in the production method of the present invention can be powdery, granular or crushed. In addition, a powdery or granular surface coated with a water-repellent compound can be used in order to provide storage stability.

Moreover, you may contain various additives, such as unreacted calcium carbonate, an abrasive | polishing agent, surfactant, a disinfectant, and a fragrance | flavor, in the cleaning composition of this invention as needed.
As the abrasive, porous oil-absorbing powders such as diatomaceous earth, pearlite, talc, and carion, and porous water-absorbing powders can be used.
Surfactants include fatty acid salts, alkyl sulfate salts, alkyl benzene sulfonates, alpha olefin sulfonates, alkyl naphthalene sulfonates, polyoxyethylene alkyl sulfate salts, polyoxyethylene alkyl allyl sulfate salts, polyoxyethylene salts. Examples thereof include ethylene alkyl ether, polyoxyethylene alkyl allyl ether, and fatty acid alkanolamide.

  In addition, the cleaning composition of the present invention can be made into a product or used by being dispersed or emulsified in a solvent such as water.

  Moreover, you may use it in combination with another functional product, for example, a fragrance | flavor, as a usage form of the cleaning composition of this invention.
