The present invention relates to a composition for improving the scalp and hair, a method for manufacturing the same, and a manufacturing apparatus. More specifically, seaweeds are used as raw materials, and rice bran is used as a subsidiary material, but supercritical or subcritical liquefied carbon dioxide is used as the main solvent, and functional materials including natural pigment components are extracted, and the extracted substances are mixed in a single phase. Effectiveness and stability of functional substances containing strong natural fragrances or pigments and essential oils, soothing and irritating scalp irritation and inflammation, as well as conditioning to restore rough and damaged hair to make hair soft and smooth It can improve the problem scalp such as psoriasis, seborrhea and erythema by minimizing the skin irritation, and use the separation tank to secure high homogeneity and simplify the whole process without any additional mixing process. In the separation tank, a co-solvent containing carbon dioxide For it to re-use the recovered carbon dioxide as the main solvent and the scalp hair and improved composition that relates to a production method and production apparatus.

Recently, due to the change in diet, the increase of stress caused by the social environment, the number of people suffering from abnormal symptoms of the scalp and hair is increasing, and the age is also decreasing. In addition, the hair loss population of women is also increasing. Accordingly, research has been conducted on compositions capable of preventing abnormal symptoms of various scalp and hair, including hair loss, and improving the condition of the scalp and hair.

Existing scalp and hair-related products are most often the main ingredient to the effect of chemicals, there is a problem that causes side effects such as irritating the scalp in the long-term use.

Meanwhile, human skin undergoes various physical and chemical changes during the aging process. Aging can be caused by UV, stress, disease conditions, environmental factors, wounds, and the activation of free radicals with age. If this condition is exacerbated, it destroys the antioxidant defenses in vivo and damages cells and tissues, promoting adult disease and aging.

Therefore, cell membranes are protected by eliminating free radicals, which are mediated by metabolic processes in the body, or by irradiating with ultraviolet rays or inflammatory reactions. Can become healthy skin.

Aging involves not only free radicals, but also an enzyme called matrix metalloprotease (MMP) .In vivo, the synthesis and degradation of cell substrates such as collagen is properly regulated, but the synthesis decreases as aging progresses. Expression of matrix metalloproteinase, an enzyme that degrades collagen, is promoted, resulting in decreased skin elasticity and wrinkles. In addition, such enzymes may be activated by ultraviolet irradiation.

Therefore, there is a need for development of a substance capable of regulating MMP expression in which activation is induced in cells or inhibiting its activity. Until now, most of the raw materials used as cosmetic materials simply inhibit enzyme activity.

Recently, many cosmetic products using natural products have been developed to reduce skin irritation caused by such chemicals. Conventional natural-derived functional oil-containing cosmetics are often prepared by simply mixing functional oils with conventional cosmetic base ingredients in one container. In this case, it is difficult to precisely adjust the temperature change of the manufacturing process, there is a problem that the fragrance components of the functional oil is volatilized, or the active ingredient of the oil is destroyed. In addition, the physical properties of the functional oil sensitive to external environmental conditions are not optimized, the stability of the functional oil is reduced, there is a problem that can not be mixed homogeneously with the cosmetic base components or discolored, deteriorated and deodorized effective activity is lowered.

Therefore, there is a need for development of a composition for improving problem scalp (psoriasis, seborrhea, erythema, etc.) that uses natural products to alleviate scalp irritation and inflammation caused by various hair and scalp and hair abnormalities.

The present invention has been made to solve the above problems, in particular, using natural products, but to ensure the effectiveness and stability of the natural product-derived functional oil, relieve scalp irritation and inflammation, exhibit a soothing effect, rough and It is an object of the present invention to provide a composition for improving the scalp and hair, a method for producing the same, and a manufacturing apparatus, which provide a conditioning effect of repairing damaged hair to make the hair soft and smooth.

1 is a flowchart of a method for preparing a composition for improving scalp and hair according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention;
2 is a block diagram of a composition for producing a composition for improving the scalp and hair according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the drawings, the same reference numerals are used to designate the same or similar components throughout the drawings. In the following description of the present invention, a detailed description of known functions and configurations incorporated herein will be omitted when it may make the subject matter of the present invention rather unclear. In addition, the preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described below, but it is needless to say that the technical idea of the present invention is not limited thereto and can be variously modified by those skilled in the art.

1 is a flow chart of a method for producing a composition for improving the scalp and hair according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. 2 is a block diagram of a composition for producing a composition for improving the scalp and hair according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

Method for producing a composition for improving the scalp and hair according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1, material preparation step (S10), material mixing step (S20), solvent mixing step (S30), extraction step (S40) ), And a separation step (S50).

Step S10 is a step of preparing a material containing a functional material such as a natural pigment component, a natural fragrance component to be extracted, step S20 is a step of mixing the prepared raw materials and subsidiary materials.

It is also possible to use any one selected from various seaweeds, crustaceans, or vegetables as raw materials, or mix the heterogeneous raw materials in any ratio. When mixing the raw materials, it is preferable to configure the mixing ratio within the range of 1 to 99% by weight.

Raw materials are not limited to seaweeds, shellfish and vegetables themselves, and may include processed products and by-products. The form of the raw material includes the case of powder or liquid, and in the case of powder or liquid, processed products such as juice or extract that are already processed and sold are possible.

That is, the raw material may be any one or a mixture of seaweeds or processed products or by-products, crustaceans or processed products or by-products, vegetables or processed products or by-products.

A variety of grains may be used as the subsidiary material, in particular, rice bran or wheat germ, or processed products or by-products thereof may be used. The subsidiary materials may be neatly trimmed and then cut into a predetermined size. Meanwhile, rice bran or bran may be used instead of rice bran or wheat germ, and a mixture thereof may be used.

That is, as a subsidiary material, rice bran or its processed products or by-products, wheat germ or its processed products or by-products, rice bran or its processed products or by-products, bran or its processed products or by-products may be used.

Subsidiary materials contain substances that collect and adsorb functional materials from the raw materials in the extraction step. When extracting a functional material from only the raw material, due to the nature of the extract to be extracted from the raw material, the lipid content is insufficient to capture the fat-soluble pigment, there is a problem that the yield (yield) significantly decreases over time. Therefore, by mixing the subsidiary materials with the raw materials, such functional materials can be easily collected.

In addition, when using rice bran or wheat germ as a subsidiary material, polyunsaturated fatty acids (HUFA), vitamin B1, tocopherol, sterol, protein, minerals, fiber, a-tocopherol, r- Highly functional substances such as oryzanol and essential amino acids can be extracted and mixed with raw materials to produce more effective functional substances.

The prepared raw materials and subsidiary materials may be evenly mixed in a predetermined ratio, but may be mixed in a relative mixing ratio within a range of 1 to 99% by weight, such as 1: 1 or 7: 3 or 3: 7, respectively.

Step S30 is a step of mixing the main solvent and the cosolvent.

Supercritical or subcritical liquefied carbon dioxide is used as the main solvent, and any one or a mixture of two or more selected from the group consisting of water, ethanol, methanol, propanol, ethyl acetate, acetone, and nucleic acid may be used.

Supercritical or subcritical carbon dioxide, which is the main solvent, has a nonpolar characteristic, and thus extracts functional substances such as non-polar natural pigment components contained in raw materials and subsidiary materials, and mixes the extracted substances into a single phase to increase the volatility. Functional substances, including strong natural fragrances or pigments and essential oils, can be maintained in a stable state.

Step S40 is a step of extracting a mixture of raw materials and subsidiary materials by heating and pressurizing with an extraction solvent mixed with a main solvent and a cosolvent. That is, step S40 is a step of extracting a functional material from the mixed material using an extraction solvent, in order to obtain a higher purity extract using supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, organic solvent extraction method using a common heating and concentration method, hot water extraction method, Neutral salt extraction method is also possible.

As shown in FIG. 2, in order to obtain high solubility and high extraction efficiency, pressure is rapidly reduced in the extraction tank 30 in which the extraction solvent and the material are mixed and extracted, and the mixture of the extract and the solvent extracted in the extraction tank 30. It is preferable to use a supercritical carbon dioxide extraction method consisting of a separation tank 40 for separating the functional material.

In the step S40, the flow rate of the main solvent is 100 to 300 g / min, and the flow rate of the cosolvent is 1 to 3 mL / min, so that the main solvent and the cosolvent are continuously introduced into the extraction tank. At this time, the mixing of the co-solvent may be performed in advance before the extraction step (S40), or may be configured by adjusting the discharge amount of the pipe supplied as shown in FIG.

The extraction conditions are preferably 30 to 60 degrees Celsius and a pressure of 80 to 500 bar.

A mixed extract was prepared using kelp as a raw material and wheat germ as an auxiliary material, and free radical scavenging ability was measured by DPPH (2,2-Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl) method. The results are summarized in Table 1 below.

Referring to Table 1, it can be seen that free radical scavenging ability increases as the extraction temperature increases. In the case of pressure, the free radical scavenging ability increases as the pressure increases to 200 bar, but decreases slightly at 250 bar, and then shows the maximum value at 300 bar.

The step S50 is a step of separating the co-solvent containing the extract and the carbon dioxide-containing co-solvent while the pressure of the step S40 is released. At this time, the carbon dioxide recovered through the co-solvent containing carbon dioxide separated through the step S50 is preferably reused as the main solvent.

Referring to Figure 2, the apparatus for producing a scalp and hair improvement composition according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is a cosolvent tank 10, the main solvent tank 20, the extraction tank 30, the separation tank 40, It comprises an extract recovery tank 50, and the co-solvent recovery tank 60.

The cosolvent tank 10 contains any one or a mixture of two or more selected from the group consisting of water, ethanol, methanol, propanol, ethyl acetate, acetone and nucleic acid. The cosolvent tank 10 is connected to the extraction tank 30.

The main solvent tank 20 receives supercritical or subcritical liquefied carbon dioxide. The main solvent tank 20 is connected to the extraction tank 30 and the separation tank 40. As the pipe from the main solvent tank 20 to the extraction tank 30, supercritical or subcritical liquefied carbon dioxide is supplied to the extraction tank 30, and the pipe from the separation tank 40 to the main solvent tank 20. Supplies the recovered carbon dioxide to the main solvent tank (20).

One side of the extraction tank 30 is connected to the main solvent tank 20 and the co-solvent tank 10, the other side is connected to the separation tank 40. The mixture of the raw material 1 containing kelp and the submaterial 2 containing rice bran is accommodated in the extraction tank 30. In one example, the extraction tank may be implemented in the form of an extraction tower.

Cereals, including rice bran, which are used as subsidiary materials, are refined in extraction tanks to produce chemically stable and excellent capturing rice bran oil, wheat germ oil, and other functional substances including functional pigments extracted from seaweeds, shellfish, and vegetables used as raw materials. It acts as a collector or adsorbent to prevent loss.

The lower end of the extraction tank 30 is provided with a solvent mixture for introducing the extraction solvent mixture solution, the upper end is provided with an extraction liquid discharge portion for discharging the mixture of the extracted extract and the co-solvent. A mixture accommodating portion for accommodating a mixture of the raw material 1 and the subsidiary material 2 is provided between the solvent mixing portion and the extract liquid discharge portion.

Separation tank 40 is separated from the extraction liquid discharged from the extraction tank 30 into an extract containing raw materials and subsidiary ingredients and a co-solvent containing carbon dioxide. To this end, the separation tank 40 includes an extract recovery tank (recovery tank located on the left side based on reference numeral 40 in FIG. 2) and a co-solvent recovery tank (recovery tank located on the right side based on reference numeral 40 in FIG. 2). And, the extract recovery tank is connected to the extract recovery tank 50, the co-solvent recovery tank is connected to the co-solvent recovery tank 60, respectively.

When the extraction occurs in the extraction tank 30 and the extraction to the separation tank 40 occurs, the solubility of the supercritical or subcritical carbon dioxide is lost due to the drop in pressure, and the functional material is extracted from the mixture containing the volatile and functional substances. As the extract recovery tank 50 through the silver extract recovery tank, the co-solvent is separated into the co-solvent recovery tank 60 through the co-solvent recovery tank it is possible to obtain a functional material such as a natural pigment component.

As the separation tank 40, it is preferable to use a separator including a spray nozzle. The pressure of the functional material and the solvent (main solvent and co-solvent) drops below the critical point so that the spray nozzle is sprayed. At this time, by controlling the diameter of the injection nozzle to ensure the homogeneity of the functional material.

The functional material is not composed of a single material alone, but a mixture of materials. In general, such a mixture should be stirred using a homogenizer for homogeneous mixing.

However, the apparatus for preparing a composition for improving the scalp and hair according to the preferred embodiment of the present invention can use a separator having a spray nozzle in a separation step, thereby ensuring high homogeneity of the functional material as a mixture without a separate mixing process.

The scalp and hair improvement composition according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention may be applied to have a formulation of a shampoo, tonic, treatment, ampoule or scalp pack.

Hereinafter, an example of preparing a composition for improving the scalp and hair using kelp and wheat embryos, and describing an example of preparing a shampoo using the same, is described.

The kelp powder as the main raw material and the wheat germ powder as the subsidiary material are charged to the extraction tower, the main solvent is supercritical liquid carbon dioxide (107.16 g / min), the cosolvent is co-solvent (ethanol) (2 mL / min), As extraction conditions, the temperature was 32 ° C., the pressure was 300 bar, and the extraction time was set to 120 min to prepare a composition for improving scalp and hair. And, using such a composition to prepare a shampoo as shown in Table 2 and Table 3 below.

Kelp was used as a raw material, wheat germ was used as a subsidiary material, and a composition for improving damaged hair was prepared by using supercritical carbon dioxide extraction, and then prescribed as a hair pack, hair oil, and hair essence formulation.

Table 4 summarizes the results of the cytotoxicity test using the scalp and hair improvement composition according to the present invention.

The MTT assay showed absorbance in proportion to the number of living cells, but the results of Table 4 show no tendency to be significantly inhibited. Therefore, the toxicity test showed no toxicity.

Table 5 and Table 6 are the results of the evaluation of hair extension rate, hair tensile strength, hair thickness improvement by preparing a hair improvement composition according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention in a scalp tonic formulation.

Table 5 summarizes the results of Weeks 0 and 2 divided into the prototype group containing the organic solvent extract and the prototype group containing the supercritical extract. In Table 5, the higher the Tensile strength, the lower the Length, the better the hair condition.

Clinical hairs in the organic solvent extract-containing prototypes (A, B, C) showed a relatively good effect in terms of tensile strength, but the rate of improvement of elongation tends to decrease, which is not desirable for damaged hair.

On the other hand, the clinical hair in the supercritical extract-containing prototype group (D, E, F) showed excellent effects in both tensile strength and elongation rate improvement, and is considered to be suitable as a damaged hair improvement product group.
