Description

Composition for improving hair or scalp containing pearl fermentation products {Composition for improving hair or scalp comprising pearl fermentation products}

It relates to a composition for improving scalp or hair comprising fermented pearls.

Brewing fermentation produces a unique fragrance containing various types of volatile and nonvolatile organic acids, sugars, amino acids, esters, etc. during the fermentation process depending on the reaction mechanism of the substrate and the fermenting microorganism. The flavor of brewing fermentation is formed by the reaction of fermenting microorganisms such as yeast and bacteria with the substrate. Most of them are initially produced, and depending on the concentration produced, the flavor is off flavor or desired flavor in each application field. Is determined.

Vinegar can be classified into alcoholic vinegar, synthetic vinegar, and fermented vinegar, depending on the type of raw material substrate. Depending on the type of raw material substrate, nutritional components may vary, and taste and aroma may vary. However, due to the inherent scent of vinegar, the use is limited to most foods, and when applied to non-food categories, the usage capacity is limited. In vinegar, most of the fragrance caused by acetic acid is formed, and the quality of fragrance needs to be improved in order to apply it to various fields. For this, there is a need for a method capable of collecting only off-flavor and supplementing other useful ingredients such as calcium.

Therefore, there is a need for a study on a composition that improves the scent quality of vinegar and has an effect of improving the scalp or hair.

One aspect provides a cosmetic composition excellent in improving the condition of the hair or scalp by including the pearl fermented product.

One aspect provides a cosmetic composition for improving scalp or hair comprising fermented pearls.

The cosmetic composition according to an aspect has been improved so that the unique fragrance of fermented vinegar produced by microorganisms during the fermentation process of vinegar is suitable for cosmetic application. Specifically, pearl fermented products were prepared by fermenting pearls by adding pearls to vinegar, and the fermented pearls contain oil-soluble components contained in vinegar and have a characteristic of removing off-flavor. In addition, since it contains a high concentration of calcium with excellent bioabsorption rate derived from pearls, it can be used in cosmetic compositions for improving scalp or hair.

In the present specification, "pearl fermentation product" refers to a final fermentation product obtained by fermentation after adding pearls to vinegar.

The pearl fermented product is prepared by preparing vinegar and pearls; And it may be prepared by fermenting by adding 0.05 to 20 (w/v)% pearls based on vinegar. If less than 0.05(w/v)% of pearl is added, it is difficult to obtain the effect of removing off-flavor and improving scalp or hair of vinegar expected in the present invention because the dissolved calcium is very small, and exceeding 20(w/v)% When pearl is added, the calcium solubility decreases to less than 50% and the volume of the reactant increases by more than 4 times due to the generation of carbon dioxide, which is not suitable for producing a pearl fermentation product.

The fermentation may be performed for 1 to 10 days at room temperature.

The term "room temperature" may have a conventional meaning, for example, may mean 20 ℃ to 30 ℃.

The "vinegar" may refer to an acidic food containing 3 to 5% of acetic acid and organic acids, amino acids, sugars, alcohols, esters, and the like. Vinegar can be used in cosmetic compositions because it contains a variety of oil-soluble ingredients (organic acids, polyphenols, amino acids, etc.) in abundance, but there is a limitation that it is difficult to apply to cosmetics due to its strong odor.

The vinegar may be synthetic vinegar or brewed vinegar, but is not limited thereto. In one embodiment, the vinegar may be brewed vinegar. Brewed vinegar refers to an acidic seasoning mainly composed of fermented acetic acid produced by the action of microorganisms, using starch, sugar, and ethyl alcohol as raw materials. The Korean Food Code defines three types of brewed vinegar: fruit vinegar, grain vinegar, and alcoholic vinegar. The fruit vinegar may be prepared from apples, persimmons, plums, citron, or grapes, and the grain vinegar may be prepared from rice, barley, wheat, corn, millet, or adlay.

The pearl may be in powder form. Pearls contain a large amount of calcium, and the main components are about 90-95% calcium carbonate (CaCO ₃ ), about 5% protein (conchiolin), and 20 other minerals and amino acids, which are various physiologically active substances. The conchiolin is a protein and can be used in cosmetic compositions because it can supply nutrition to the hair or scalp.

The fermented pearl may be included in an amount of 10% by weight or more, for example, about 10 to 30% by weight, or about 10 to 20% by weight based on the total weight of the cosmetic composition. When the pearl fermented product is contained in less than 10% by weight, the effect of improving hair or scalp of the pearl fermented product may not appear. When the pearl fermented product is contained in an amount of more than 30% by weight, the stability of the formulation may be deteriorated.

The pearl fermented product is characterized in that the content of the compounds that cause fragrance in the vinegar is reduced or removed compared to the vinegar to remove off-flavor. Since odor is removed by fermentation by mixing vinegar and pearls, it can be usefully used in cosmetic compositions.

In addition, the pearl fermented product is characterized in that the calcium content is increased compared to vinegar or pearl extract. The calcium may be in an ionized state. By fermentation by mixing vinegar and pearls, a large amount of calcium, which is difficult to absorb in the body, is ionized and the absorption rate is increased.

The cosmetic composition may be one to remove dead skin cells from the scalp.

The cosmetic composition may have an effect of restoring the cuticle layer of damaged hair. The damage may be caused by basicity, and there is an effect of improving hair texture by recovering the damaged cuticle layer of the hair.

The cosmetic composition may be to inhibit the growth or survival of dandruff bacteria. The condition of the hair or scalp can be improved by inhibiting the growth or survival of dandruff bacteria.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail through examples. However, these examples are for illustrative purposes only, and the scope of the present invention is not limited to these examples.

Example 1: pearl Fermented Produce

Pearl powder was added to the apple fermented vinegar stock solution (Sampyo Foods) at a concentration of 1% (w/v), and then fermented and aged at room temperature for 3 to 7 days. When fermentation was completed, a pearl fermented product was prepared through fine filtration (pore size: 0.1 μm).

Comparative example 1: Preparation of pearl extract

Pearl powder was placed in a suitable container, and an appropriate amount of water was added to absorb water into the pearl powder, and then excess water was added. At this time, it was washed and filtered 1 to 2 times. After the washing was completed, 10% of an acetic acid (CH ₃ COOH) aqueous solution was slowly added to 1 g of pearl solids to make about 90 g. This solution was stirred at room temperature at 350 rpm. When no carbon dioxide was generated, the reaction was considered to be over, and the supernatant was recovered at that time. The supernatant was neutralized by adding diluted alkali to a final 100 g and filtered to prepare a pearl extract.

Experimental example 1: hair Cuticle layer Recovery evaluation

For Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, an experiment was conducted to compare the effect of restoring the hair cuticle layer.

Specifically, the hair sample was collected from healthy human hair that had not undergone perm treatment or hair dyeing for one year, and was used by cutting between 3 cm and 7 cm areas from the hair root. In order to induce damage to the hair, it was immersed in 1% triethanolamine solution (pH 10.52) for 10 minutes and then washed 2 to 3 times with distilled water. Damaged hair was immersed in pearl extract or pearl vinegar solution for 2 minutes, washed 2 to 3 times with distilled water, and dried naturally. The hair was observed at 600 times magnification with a scanning electron microscopy (SEM, SNE-4500, Korea) to observe the morphological change of the sample hair surface.
