FIG. 1 is a flowchart illustrating a method of manufacturing a snail mucus filtrate according to an embodiment of the present invention. The embodiments of the present invention to be described herein relate to a method for producing a low molecular weight snail mucus filtrate and a cosmetic composition (or a cosmetic raw material) using the low molecular weight snail mucus filtrate as a major active ingredient.

The method for producing the low molecular weight snail mucus filtrate includes a process of decomposing snail mucus having a high molecular weight, a process of separating the active low molecular weight degradation product, and an insoluble precipitate containing unreacted polymer through filtration And a cosmetic composition containing a snail mucus filtrate produced through the above production method and having excellent skin moisturizing, skin nutrition, and / or skin elasticity improvement effect, which comprises a process of producing a low molecular weight snail mucus filtrate (Or a cosmetic raw material).

Referring to FIG. 1, a snail mucus filtrate manufacturing method can measure a snail and wash the snail using water (S101).

Fig. 2 is a flowchart specifically illustrating a method of washing the snail shown in Fig. 1. Fig. Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, when a snail is stocked (or obtained) in the process of measuring the snail and washing the snail using water, the manufacturer can determine the volume of the snail that is received (or obtained) The snail can be weighed using a weightable instrument or the like.

After the snail is weighed, the snail can be washed with water. The volume of water may be a sufficient amount to wash the snail based on the value of the snail weighed.

First, the snail can be sufficiently washed with 5% of salt water (S201). After the snail is washed with 5% of the salt water, the snail can be washed with the resulting mixed solution by mixing the 5% salt water and 1% vinegar (S203). According to the embodiments, step S201 may be omitted.

For example, the manufacturer may repeat the snail for more than a few tens of seconds (e.g., 30 seconds) and then repeat the snail many times (e.g., four times). Through this process, the dirt or impurities contained in the snail can be completely removed. That is, through step S203, parasites which are inhabited or parasitized in the snail are removed, and the bacteria in the snail can be sterilized. In addition, through the step S203, the secretion of mucus in the snail can be prevented from being displayed.

After step S203 is performed, the snail may be cleaned clean using clean water, such as purified water (S205). Step S205 is a process for removing the salt and vinegar contained in the snail in step S203. After step S205 is performed, a snail mucus filtration process or a snail mucus filtrate extraction process may be performed.

The washed snails may be sliced (S103). For example, the washed snails may be chopped to a size of at least 0.1 mm. The snail extract can be extracted using the snail (S105).

3 is a flowchart specifically illustrating a method of extracting the snail extract shown in Fig.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 3, a manufacturer can mix a purified water, a 1,3-butylene glycol, and a snail to a snail mixture at a ratio of 6: 3: 1 (S301). That is, the purified water, 1,3-butylene glycol, and the snail may be 60:30:10 w / w%.

Using the warm-up reflux extraction, the snail mixture can be separated into supernatant and precipitate (S303). For example, a snail mixture mixed at a ratio of 6: 3: 1 (or 60:30:10 w / w%) is refluxed at 85 ° C for 8 hours per day for 3 days and separated into supernatant and precipitate And extracted (S303). The supernatant may be produced as the snail extract.

For example, a mixture of a supernatant and a snail separated into a precipitate (e.g., snail mucus) can be naturally cooled at room temperature (S305). Chondroitinase or hyaluronic acid degrading enzyme is added to the naturally cooled snail mixture to enzymatically decompose the snail mixture for several hours (for example, 10 to 48 hours) while maintaining the reaction rate, The mucus (for example, low molecular weight snail mucus) can be degraded (S307).

The enzyme-degraded snail extract is separated into a new supernatant and a new precipitate using a centrifuge, and the separated new supernatant can be produced as a snail extract corresponding to a low-molecular snail mucus (S309).

The extracted snail extract may be filtered through a filtration process (S107). For example, the filtering process may be performed sequentially using filters having different mesh sizes. For example, the filtration process may include a first filtration process and a second filtration process.

4 is a flowchart specifically illustrating a method for filtering the extracted snail extract shown in Fig.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 4, the first filtering process S401 may be performed using a plurality of filters (for example, filters of three or more). For example, the extracted snail extract is filtered (S403) by a first filter having a first mesh size (e.g., 3 mu m), and the snail extract filtered by the first filter is filtered by a second mesh size (S405), and the snail extract filtered by the second filter is filtered by a third filter having a third mesh size (e.g., 0.5 mu m) (S407) .

The second filtering process S411 may be performed using activated carbon and a plurality of filters (for example, two or more filters) (S401). For example, the snail extract filtered by the third filter may be decolorized and / or deodorized using activated carbon (S413).

The snail extract that has passed through the activated carbon is filtered (S415) by a fourth filter having a fourth mesh size (e.g., 0.3 mu m), and the snail extract filtered by the fourth filter has a fifth mesh size (S417). ≪ / RTI >

Referring again to FIG. 1, the snail extract filtered through filtration can be concentrated by vacuum concentration (S109). For example, the snail extract filtered through the filtration process may be concentrated by vacuum concentration until the solid content reaches 10% (S109).

The process of producing a concentrated snail extract can be carried out using a concentrator. The concentrator may mean a device that performs the function of concentrating the snail extract filtered through the filtration process. For example, the concentrating device may be a vacuum concentrator, a vacuum concentrator, or a centrifugal concentrator. In the vacuum concentrator, the snail extract filtered through a filtration process by a vacuum concentration method can be concentrated in vacuo until the solid content reaches 10%. The concentrated snail extract may be liquid or solid.

As described above, the snail extract filtered through the filtration process according to the snail mucus filtrate manufacturing method or the snail extract concentrated through the concentration does not contain any other substance and a pure snail secretion filtrate is obtained from the snail Extracted, and then made into a low molecular weight snail mucus filtrate.

The snail mucus filtrate produced by the snail mucus filtrate manufacturing method according to the embodiment of the present invention can be used as a material or raw material for manufacturing cosmetics.

The cosmetic comprising snail mucus filtrate produced by the snail mucus filtrate manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention may refer to cosmetics manufactured from the snail mucus filtrate.

For example, the cosmetic may be made of a basic cosmetics such as a soft lotion, a milk lotion, a nutrition cream, a massage cream, an essence, a serum, a mask pack and / or a body oil, and a color cosmetic such as a foundation or a makeup base.

The snail extract or the extracted snail extract may mean a pure snail mucus extract (or a filtrate) extracted from a snail. In addition, the snail extract or the extracted snail extract may mean a low molecular weight snail mucus extract (or a filtrate).

The major component of the sticky mucus (i.e. snail mucus) secreted from the snails is mucin and the main components of the mucins are chondroitin sulfate, allantoin, glicolic acid, collagen, And / or elastin.

Chondroitin sulfate (or chondroitin) is effective for various skin diseases such as prevention of skin aging and maintenance of skin elasticity, maintains moisture of skin tissue, and regenerates the skin tissue and increases the elasticity of the skin tissue. Chondroitin sulfate (or chondroitin) is also effective in inhibiting arteriosclerosis and preventing adult diseases.

Allantoin is effective for skin soothing and pore contraction, glycolic acid has a skin stabilizing effect, and collagen and elastin maintain skin elasticity.

Cosmetic products containing Snail mucus extract have an effect of supplying mucin and chondroitin sulfate (or chondroitin) to the skin and increasing absorption of the mucin and the chondroitin sulfate (or chondroitin) in the skin.

The concentrated snail extract is obtained as a cosmetic raw material, and a process of confirming the quality of the concentrated snail extract can be performed (S111).

The process of confirming the quality may be performed according to a predetermined standard. The process of confirming the quality can be checked by a quality checking apparatus or a manufacturer.

According to an embodiment, the process of confirming the quality can be carried out based on at least one of the properties of the concentrated snail extract, the pH, the refractive index, the specific gravity, the content of heavy metals, the content of microorganisms, and / or the content of chondroitin have.

Test Items Specification value 1. Appearance

According to the embodiment, the quality of the concentrated snail extract can be confirmed by using the test items shown in Table 1 and the standard values corresponding to the test items. That is, the process of confirming the quality of the concentrated snail extract can determine whether or not the concentrated snail extract meets the standard values exemplarily shown in Table 1.

For example, the properties of the concentrated snail extract are colorless or clear yellowish liquid, and can be used as a raw material for cosmetics when a slight unusual smell is observed. At this time, the characteristics of the concentrated snail extract can be confirmed by the producer or the quality check device.

When the concentrated snail extract has a pH of 5.5 to 7.5, the concentrated snail extract has a refractive index of 1.3 to 1.4, and the concentrated snail extract has a specific gravity of 0.95 to 1.06, the concentrated snail extract Can be used as a raw material for cosmetics.

Further, depending on whether or not the concentrated snail extract is detected as heavy metal and whether microorganisms are detected, the concentrated snail extract can be used as a raw material for cosmetics. For example, in the concentrated snail extract, when the lead is detected to be less than 20 ppm, arsenic is detected to be less than 2 ppm, and the microorganism is detected to be less than 100 colony / g, the concentrated snail extract can be used as a raw material for cosmetics.

When the chondroitin content of the concentrated snail extract satisfies 8 to 12%, the concentrated snail extract can be used as a raw material for cosmetics. When the concentrated snail extract meets the standard values for each of the test items in Table 1, the concentrated snail extract can be used as a raw material for cosmetics. At this time, the concentrated snail extract should be stored in a dark place at 1 ° C to 25 ° C to prevent deterioration.

If the concentrated snail extract is confirmed as a good product through the step of confirming the quality (S113), the concentrated snail extract may be packaged as a cosmetic raw material (S113).
