Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an antibacterial composition, and more particularly to a natural antibacterial composition and its application. Background Art
[0002] So-called preservatives, simply speaking, refer to a class of substances that can inhibit the growth of microorganisms and have a good inhibitory effect on microorganisms that metabolize spoilage substances. Preservatives play a key role in cosmetics, which is closely related to the quality of cosmetics and the safety of consumers during use. The value of preservative application is mainly reflected in reducing the pollution of cosmetics and inhibiting the growth of microorganisms, etc., and can also extend the service life of products. In recent years, the cosmetics market has also changed greatly. The development of the cosmetics market has also driven changes in the use of preservatives. In cosmetics, the role of preservatives is mainly to combine with microbial cells in cosmetics, completely adsorb on the cells, and penetrate into the cytoplasm to effectively inhibit the continuous division of cells, thereby controlling the reproduction rate of microorganisms, avoiding the contamination of cosmetics by bacteria, extending the service life of cosmetics, and ensuring the safety of cosmetics.
[0003] In order to ensure that the application of preservatives in cosmetics can play an effective role, certain requirements also need to be met during the addition of preservatives. The most important thing is to control the concentration and dosage of preservatives. Since preservatives themselves carry certain irritations, if the usage amount is unreasonable, it will not only affect the quality of cosmetics, but may even pose a threat to the skin of users and cause allergies and other situations. With the country putting forward relatively clear requirements for the application of preservatives in cosmetics and people paying more and more attention to health, the selection of cosmetics preservatives has become more and more cautious. Commonly used traditional preservatives in cosmetics include formaldehyde releasers, parabens, alcohols, organic acids, etc. These preservatives have obvious antibacterial effects, but are more irritating to the skin, prone to cause allergic and other adverse reactions, and have a single function and can only be used as antibacterial and preservative components.

[0071] Initial inoculation fungal amount 1×10 5 cfu / g(mL)
[0072] Fungi (USP-51): Initial concentration is 10 5 ~10 6 cfu / ml; After 7 days, the fungal quantity is reduced by 90% compared with the initial (reduced by 1 order of magnitude); Compared with 7 days, the colonies do not increase after 14 days, and the colonies do not increase compared with 14 days after 28 days.
[0073] Bacterial mixed inoculation:
[0074] Staphylococcus aureus ATCC6538, Pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC9027, Escherichia coli ATCC8739 Fungal mixed inoculation:
[0075] Candida albicans ATCC10231, Aspergillus niger ATCC16404.

[0080] 2. Antibacterial test of different concentrations of natural antibacterial combinations
[0081] The antibacterial composition of Example 5 was added at 0.5% and 1% respectively in the emulsion, and the proportions of other components of the emulsion were the same as those in Application Example 3 above, and the anti-corrosion challenge test was carried out.
[0082] The test results are shown in Table 4 below.
[0083] Table 4: Antibacterial test results of different concentrations of natural antibacterial combinations
[0084]
[0085] The experimental data shows that when adding 0.5% or 1% of the antibacterial combination, the colony count was less than 1000 cfu / g on the 7th day. Both could pass the anti-corrosion challenge test on the 28th day.
[0086] 3. Antioxidant test of the natural antibacterial composition:
[0087] The scavenging ability of DPPH was quantitatively analyzed by spectrophotometry to determine the antioxidant effect of the antibacterial composition. Its antioxidant ability is expressed by the scavenging rate. The greater the scavenging rate, the stronger its antioxidant ability. The natural antibacterial combination of Example 5 was formulated into antibacterial combination ethanol solutions with concentrations of 16, 8, 6, 4, and 2 mg / mL. The antibacterial combination ethanol solution was mixed with 0.1 mmol / L DPPH ethanol solution, and after reacting in the dark for 1 h, the absorbance was measured at 517 nm using an ultraviolet spectrophotometer.
[0088] The DPPH radical scavenging rate was calculated according to the following formula:
[0089] DPPH radical scavenging rate (%) = [1 - (A i - A j ) / A0] × 100%
[0090] Where: A0 is the absorbance value of the mixture of ethanol and DPPH solution at 517 nm; Ai is the absorbance value of the mixed solution of the sample solution and the DPPH ethanol solution at 517 nm; A j is the absorbance value of the mixed solution of the sample solution and ethanol at 517 nm. The DPPH radical scavenging rates of the natural antibacterial composition at different concentrations are shown in Table 5.
