JPH0725723A - Stone powder of ume, production thereof, cosmetic material and abrasive material utilizing the stone powder - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To effectively utilize a stone in UME (plum) subjected to disposal treatment by using powder prepared by pulverizing an endocarp contained in the stone in the UME within a wide range of a scrubbing cosmetic, a face washing cream, a dentifrice, massage powder, an abrasive material, etc. CONSTITUTION:A stone in UME is washed and then dried. The dried stone in the UME is then pulverized with a pulverizer, etc., and separated into an endocarp and an embryo. The endocarp is further pulverized to 10mum to 1mm size to afford stone powder of the UME. The stone powder of the UME having 150mum to 1mm size is added at 1-10% weight ratio and especially used as a scrubbing cosmetic (the touch is improved by removing a keratinous part or a fouled part of the skin). The stone powder of the UME having 10-80mum size at 5-10% weight ratio is added and used as a face washing cream and the stone powder of the UME having 10-80mum size at 1-10% weight ratio is added in the case of a dentifrice. The stone powder of the UME having 10-80mum size at 5-10% weight ratio is added in the case of massage powder. Furthermore, the stone powder of the UME having 80mum to 1mm size is used in the case of an abrasive material.

Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a technique for effectively utilizing the core of ume, which has been conventionally disposed of, as a fine powder.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Heretofore, no example of effective utilization of powder of plum kernel has been found. Conventionally, there has been an example in which the core of a fruit is crushed and used as a scrub cosmetic material, but it has a drawback that it lacks a roundness and damages the skin.

[0003]

[Means to be Solved by the Invention] Ume nuclei have been disposed of at soft drink water manufacturing plants containing plums, but due to their nature, they are difficult to incinerate and are currently in trouble. .

Therefore, the present invention focuses on the fact that plum kernels are completely harmless, the fine powder thereof has a roundness, and has a property that it is very slippery to the touch, and this characteristic It is intended to be used as a material for scrub cosmetics, etc., which removes keratinous parts and contaminated parts of skin by making the best use of it.

Since the plum powder has a sufficient roundness, it has a wide range of applications such as facial cleansing cream and other cosmetics, and massage powder.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] The means for solving the problems according to the present invention is a ume kernel powder obtained by crushing a plum kernel to separate its kernel and embryo and crushing said kernel to 10 μm to 1 mm. It consists of

[0007]

In the cosmetic product containing the plum kernel powder having the above-described structure, the round particles improve the feel of the skin due to the action of removing the keratinous portion of the skin.

[0008]

EXAMPLES Examples of the present invention will be described below.

(1) A plum powder which is obtained by crushing a plum kernel to separate the kernel and the embryo, and crushing the kernel to 10 μm to 1 mm.

(2) A scrub cosmetic comprising 150 μm to 1 mm (20 to 80 mesh) of plum powder in an amount of 1 to 10% by weight.

(3) A face-cleaning cream obtained by adding 5 to 10% by weight of plum powder of 10 μm to 80 μm.

(4) Toothpaste prepared by adding 1 to 10% by weight of ume kernel powder of 10 to 80 μm.

(5) A massage powder obtained by adding 5 to 10% by weight of plum powder of 10 μm to 80 μm.

(6) A polishing material in which ume kernel powder of 80 μm to 1 mm is used as it is or is made into a paste with an appropriate resin and used.

As a material for scrub cosmetics, 20 to 30
A mesh, 40-60 mesh, 60-80 mesh is usually used, but in this case, less than 5% is added. For general cosmetic materials such as facial cleansing cream and toothpaste, sizes of 10 μm, 30 μm and 80 μm are mainly used, and for general polishing materials, sizes of 80 μm or more are preferable. A use test was conducted by mixing the material of the face-wash cream in the range of 5 to 10%.

Next, the fact that the plum powder is harmless will be described.

[Manufacturing Method] The kernel from which the plum fruit from Kishu has been removed is thoroughly washed. Crush the dried core and remove the core to make a coarse powder. After washing, it is dried and pulverized.

That is, the core skin is crushed to 10 μm to 1 mm.

"Property" Pale yellow, powder, odorless.

"Confirmation test" Analysis by infrared absorption spectrum. (Fig. 2) Specific absorption band: 3421 cm ^-1 OH (mostly due to intermolecular hydrogen bond and often seen when carboxylic acid is present) 1741 cm ^-1 RCOOR '1163 cm ^-1 RCOOR' Absorption based on ester group Belt: 1122 cm ^-1 -RCOOR 'State of particles by electron microscope. (FIG. 1) Particle diameter: Length 76 μm to 22 μm Width 40 μm to 14 μm Particle state: There is a roundness as a whole, and sharp points are hardly seen.

"Purity test" (1) Heavy metal; 10 ppm or less (2.0 g, third method) (2) Arsenic; 2 ppm or less (1.0 g, third method, apparatus C) Also, at Kochi Industrial Technology Center Tests have proved that the plum powder is harmless. According to this, it is as follows.

Mercury not detected (0.005 mg / kg or less) Arsenic not detected (0.005 mg / kg or less) Chrome not detected (0.1 mg / kg or less) Lead not detected (0.1 mg / kg or less) Cadmium not detected (0.05 mg / kg or less) It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and many modifications and changes can be made to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention.

[0023]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the present invention is configured as described above, when the present invention is used, the fine particles of plum kernels in the face-washing cream are removed due to the exfoliating action of the skin which the fine particles of plum kernels have. The touch is extremely good. In addition, it can be used for scrubbing cosmetics, cosmetic materials such as toothpaste, massage powder, and general special polishing materials.
