Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a bath agent composition having an excellent thermal effect.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Bath agents have been conceived in order to obtain a heating effect which cannot be obtained with a bath water of fresh water. Recently, a wide variety of bath agents have been developed and put into practical use. However, these bath agents have not been able to obtain the expected heating effect sufficiently, and have not always been satisfactory to the user.

[0003] On the other hand, since ancient times, the rind used as a crude drug (ripe citrus of the citrus family Unshu mandarin or other closely related plants) or citron has been used in a bath, but no bellows have been used. .

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a bath agent composition having an excellent heating effect.

[0005]

Means for Solving the Problems As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that a bath agent containing an extract of bellows has an excellent heating effect. Was completed.

That is, the present invention relates to a bath agent composition containing a bellows extract (hereinafter referred to as an active ingredient of the present invention).

[0007] In recent years, it has been clarified that the medicinal effects of closely related plants are greatly different, and it is drawing attention (Modern Oriental Medicine Vol. 13 No. 2 p102-10).
9 (1992-4)).

[0008] On the other hand, the active ingredient of the present invention, Jabara, means the Takehara area of Kitayama village, Higashimuro-gun, Wakayama prefecture and the opposite bank across the Kitakami river, and the Takehara area of Kitayama village, Higashimuro-gun, Wakayama prefecture, and the Kumano city on the opposite side of the Kitakami river. It is a plant closely related to yuzu, which is believed to be distributed in the Kachi district of Kamikawa-cho, and is a registered variety (species name: Jabala) with registration number No. 10 on November 1, 1979.

The bellows fruit has a size of 130 to 140.
It is oval or circular at about g. The apex is flat and the diameter is 2
There is a concave ring of about cm, and there is a shallow groove radially from the stigma. In the peduncle, there are a few depressions around the sepal and several radial grooves. The pericarp is yellow, the oil vesicles are dented and concave, rough, with the scent of yuzu and nine-year mother, with a slight bitterness. It has a lot of fruit juice and about 5% acid. There are about 15 seeds per fruit. The embryo is a single embryo and is white or light green. It seems that the best time to collect is in late November, but it can be placed on the tree until January. It is also storable, has a good flavor and can be placed at room temperature from March to April without losing fruit juice.

The bellows extract used as the active ingredient of the present invention can use fruits and / or pericarp, but it is preferable to use pericarp.

The blending ratio of the bath agent composition of the present invention is preferably 50% or less, and most preferably 0.01 to 30.0% from the viewpoint of its effects and the like.

The active ingredient of the present invention is obtained by crushing bellows fruits and / or pericarps, preferably pericarps, as raw materials, and pulverizing them with or without drying, or by using water or an organic solvent in room temperature or under heating. It is obtained by extracting with a solvent to which is added appropriately. Examples of the organic solvent include alcohols and polyhydric alcohols, and examples of the alcohols include methanol, ethanol, propanol, and polyhydric alcohols such as propylene glycol, polyethylene glycol, 1,3-butylene glycol and glycerin.
Examples include isoprene glycol and hexylene glycol. The mixing ratio of these organic solvents and water is 10 to 90%,
It is particularly preferable to use a 20 to 80% aqueous solution.

Examples of the active ingredient of the present invention will be shown and described in detail.

Concrete Example 1 100 g of cut fruit skin was extracted with stirring with 900 g of ethanol, and then the skin was removed to obtain 850 g of an extract.

Specific Example 2 Ethanol was removed from 500 g of the extract obtained in Specific Example 1 to obtain 0.6 g.

Concrete Example 3 100 g of cut-out fruit skin was extracted with stirring with 900 g of 50% ethanol, and then the fruit skin was removed to obtain 840 g of an extract.

Specific Example 4 100 g of fruit was subjected to stirring extraction with 900 g of 50% ethanol, and then the fruit was removed to obtain 880 g of an extract.

Example 5 100 g of pulp was subjected to stirring extraction with 900 g of 50% ethanol, and then the fruits were removed to obtain 885 g of an extract.

Next, the fact that the bath agent composition of the present invention has an excellent heating effect will be described with reference to experimental examples.
