[0054] The present invention is described below by specific embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the technical means used in the present invention are methods known to those skilled in the art. In addition, the embodiments should be understood as illustrative rather than limiting the scope of the present invention, and the essence and scope of the present invention are limited only by the claims. For those skilled in the art, various changes or modifications to the material composition and dosage in these embodiments, without departing from the essence and scope of the present invention, also belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
[0055] Example 1
[0056] The cleaning liquid components of the cleaning composition comprising gel are as follows:
[0057]
[0058] In addition, it also contains 0.1% (by weight) arginine, 0.1% (by weight) methylparaben, and citric acid.
[0059] The preparation method of the cleaning composition comprising gel is as follows:

[0061] S2 adds 20g of glucosamine lauramide, 15g of sulfoimidazoline betaine, 5g of sodium N-lauroyl sarcosinate, 2g of diethanolamine, 1g of arginine, and 1g of methylparaben in proportion, and stir at room temperature until the system is uniform;
[0062] S3 added 5 g (3.9 mL) of glycerol as a moisturizer and 0.1 g of benzisothiazolinone as an antibacterial agent, and continued stirring until uniform;
[0063] After the S4 system is uniform, the temperature is lowered to 40°C, 6 g of plant extract terpinene-4-ol and 0.5 g of aloe-emodin are added, citric acid is added to adjust the pH to 6.5, and stirred for 60 minutes until it is uniform, presenting a light yellow, transparent, slightly viscous liquid with a fragrant smell, to obtain a cleaning solution.
[0064] S5 Take 10g of sodium alginate and dissolve it in 50mL of water by magnetic stirring, then add 4wt% of Ca 2+ The solution was cross-linked, and 0.1 g of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose was added to enhance the cross-linking, so that the maximum swelling rate of the hydrogel was 328% (in 25°C water), and a cross-linked hydrogel was obtained;
[0065] S6 drying the cross-linked hydrogel to a water content of 55% (by weighing method);
[0066] S7: 20 g of the dried cross-linked hydrogel was soaked in a cleaning solution for 2 hours until the swelling rate reached 200%, and the swollen gel was taken out to obtain 40.8 g of a cleaning composition containing the gel.
[0067] The calculation formula of swelling rate is:
[0068] SR=[(W t -W s ) / W s ]×100%
[0069] Where: Wt represents the total mass of the gel at time t; Ws represents the mass of the dry gel.
[0070] Example 2
[0071] The cleaning liquid components of the cleaning composition comprising gel are as follows:
[0072]
[0073]
[0074] In addition, it also contains 0.1% (by weight) arginine, 0.1% (by weight) methylparaben, and citric acid.
[0075] The preparation method of the cleaning composition comprising gel is as follows:
[0076] Using magnetic stirring in S1 mixer, heat 800 ml of deionized water to 65°C according to the above concentration ratio, continuously and evenly add 10 g of polyvinyl alcohol, and stir until completely dissolved;
[0077] S2 adds 40g of glucosamine lauramide, 32g of sulfoimidazoline betaine, 7.5g of sodium N-lauroyl sarcosinate, 6g of diethanolamine, 1g of arginine, and 1g of methylparaben in proportion, and stir to keep warm until the system is uniform;
[0078] S3 added 15 g (3.9 mL) of glycerol as a moisturizer and 0.3 g of benzisothiazolinone as an antibacterial agent, and continued stirring until uniform;
[0079] After the S4 system is uniform, the temperature is lowered to 35°C, 8g of plant extract terpinene-4-ol and 1g of aloe-rhodiola rosea are added, citric acid is added to adjust the pH to 6.5, and stirred for 60 minutes until it is uniform, presenting a white, transparent, slightly viscous liquid with a fragrant smell, to obtain a cleaning solution.
[0080] S5: 5 ml of acrylic acid was dissolved in 30 ml of water by magnetic stirring, 0.02 g of KPS initiator (0.4% of the monomer mass) was added, and polymerization was initiated by magnetic stirring at 60°C (polymerization was completed in 32 min). The maximum swelling rate of polyacrylic acid hydrogel was 438% (in 25°C water), and a cross-linked hydrogel was obtained;
[0081] S6 drying the cross-linked hydrogel to a water content of 55% (by weighing method);
[0082] S7: 20 g of the dried cross-linked hydrogel was soaked in a cleaning solution for 2 hours until the swelling rate reached 200%, and the swollen gel was taken out to obtain 40.8 g of a cleaning composition containing the gel.
[0083] In this embodiment, the swelling rate is controlled by adjusting the monomer concentration of acrylic acid. Experiments show that as the monomer concentration increases, the swelling rate generally shows an upward trend. When the monomer concentration is 100%, the swelling rate is the largest. This is because as the molecular weight of polyacrylic acid gradually increases, the molecular chain of polyacrylic acid becomes longer, the network structure increases, and the swelling rate is large.
[0084] Example 3
[0085] The preparation method and other parts of this embodiment are the same as those of embodiment 1, except for the cleaning liquid components, which are as follows:
[0086]
[0087] After the gel is prepared, it is dried to a water content of 60%, and swelled to 216% in a cleaning solution to obtain 45 g of a cleaning composition containing a gel.
[0088] Example 4
[0089] The same as Example 1, except that the cleaning liquid surfactants are 5% sodium dodecyl sulfate and 5% ammonium dodecyl sulfate.
[0090] Example 5
[0091] The same as Example 1, except that the surfactant of the cleaning solution is 5% sodium polyoxyethylene fatty acid ether sulfate and 10% sodium α-olefin sulfonate.
[0092] Comparative Example 1
[0093] This comparative example adopts antibacterial hand sanitizer commonly found in the market, and the raw materials of the antibacterial hand sanitizer are: didecyl dimethyl ammonium acetate, cocamidopropyl betaine, polyglucoside, soybean oil ethoxylate, propylene glycol, sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, citric acid, green tea essence, tender green pigment, and water.
[0094] Antibacterial and antimicrobial effect experiment
[0095] The antibacterial and antibacterial effects of Examples 1 to 5 and Comparative Example 1 were verified, and the test was conducted in accordance with QB / T2738-2012 "Evaluation Method for Antibacterial and Antibacterial Effects of Daily Chemical Products" (experimental conditions: action time 2 minutes, action concentration 1:1). The results are shown in Table 1:
[0096] Table 1 Comparison of antibacterial and antimicrobial effects
[0097] Antibacterial project Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Example 5 Comparative Example 1 Escherichia coli >99.9% >99.9% >99.9% >99.9% >99.9% >85.1% Staphylococcus aureus >99.9% >99.9% >99.9% >99.9% >99.9% >86.3% Black mold >99.9% >99.9% >99.9% >99.9% >99.9% >83.3%
[0098] It can be seen from the data in Table 1 that the cleaning composition containing the gel of the present invention has good antibacterial and antimicrobial effects, and has a good inhibitory effect on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, black mold, etc.
[0099] In summary, the cleaning composition containing gel of the present invention adopts mild and easily degradable new surfactants such as glucosamine lauramide, sulfoimidazoline betaine, sodium N-lauroyl sarcosinate, and by adding antibacterial agents terpinen-4-ol and aloe-emodin, the scientific proportion can effectively inhibit common bacteria. It has the advantages of being mild and not hurting hands, having good antibacterial effect, etc., and is a mild and efficient antibacterial cleaning composition.
[0100] Water retention rate experiment
[0101] Since the present invention is used similarly to soap in daily use, compared with simple hand sanitizer and soap, the gel is more likely to lose water and dry out, resulting in reduced use effect. Therefore, the present invention tests the water retention rate of the cleaning composition containing the gel in each embodiment.
[0102] Table 2 Comparison of water retention effects of cleaning compositions containing gel in various embodiments (25°C, air humidity 35%)
[0103]
[0104] The above data show that the present invention has good water retention. In daily use, the viscosity of the cleaning liquid will not increase and the gel will not dry up. This is mainly because the addition of the moisturizing agent of the present invention allows water loss and compensation balance.
[0105] Sensory evaluation
[0106] 20 testers were divided into 4 groups on average, and the test group samples were randomly given according to the "double-blind" test. The testers were required to wash their hands according to their daily hand washing habits (i.e., the amount of hand sanitizer, hand washing method, and flushing time were not limited), and the foaming property, decontamination ability, irritation, flushing difficulty, and refreshing feeling of hand washing were evaluated in turn. The testers scored according to their own feelings, and the scoring standard adopted a 5-point system, among which the foaming property, decontamination ability, and refreshing feeling after washing were calculated with 1 point as the worst and 5 points as the best; irritation and flushing difficulty were calculated with 1 point as the best and 5 points as the worst. Finally, the sensory effect score of each embodiment was recorded as an average value, as shown in Table 3 below.
[0107] Table 3 Sensory evaluation of hand washing / cleaning effects of cleaning compositions containing gel
[0108] Foaming Decontamination ability Irritant Flushing difficulty Cooling sensation Example 1 4.3 4.5 1.0 1.2 4.6 Example 2 4.1 4.2 1.1 1.4 4.8 Example 3 4.2 4.3 1.1 1.3 4.6 Example 4 4.0 4.0 1.0 1.2 4.7 Example 5 4.0 4.5 1.2 1.1 4.5
[0109] From the contents of Table 3 above, it can be seen that the scores of the five examples in the evaluation of the detergency are not much different. The formula composition of the examples, except for the antibacterial agent, has little effect on the antibacterial effect. The foaming ability of Examples 1, 2 and 3 is stronger than that of Examples 4 and 5, which is mainly due to the synergistic gel porous structure of the multiple surfactants in the preferred embodiment of the present invention.
