Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of oral care technology and relates to a whitening and stain-removing toothpaste and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Oral stains primarily arise from colored substances adhering to the tooth surface, which then combine with metal ions and mineralize to form stubborn stains. Traditional toothpastes often rely on single abrasives or chemical ingredients, resulting in incomplete stain removal and potential damage to tooth enamel. While existing technologies employ plant extracts to assist in whitening, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and stain prevention, they lack systematic optimization of plant species, formulation ratios, and extraction methods, leading to insufficient release of active ingredients and limited synergistic effects.

[0003] Therefore, developing a toothpaste that combines extracts prepared by specific plant formulations and enzymatic hydrolysis with compound enzyme solutions, along with components such as compound abrasives and chelating agents, to achieve highly effective whitening, stain removal, antibacterial properties, and long-lasting stain prevention has become an important direction in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a whitening and stain-removing toothpaste and its preparation method. By providing a toothpaste prepared by enzymatic hydrolysis of walnut shell powder, beech, oyster shell and Manegug glacial mud, the toothpaste achieves highly effective whitening, stain removal, antibacterial, stain prevention and enamel repair effects through the synergistic effect of enzymatic hydrolysate and components such as composite abrasive and chelating agent.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0007] As a preferred technical solution of the present invention, the plant enzymatic hydrolysate is obtained by grinding walnut shell powder, beech, oyster shell and Manegug glacial mud into 100-mesh powder in a mass ratio of 3:3:2:1, mixing it with a compound enzyme solution in a mass-volume ratio of 1:8, and enzymatically hydrolyzing it at 37°C for 10 minutes.

[0008] The complex enzyme solution was obtained by mixing glucanase and glucose oxidase at a volume ratio of 1:1 and then diluting the mixture with 0.1 mol / L pH 6.0 phosphate buffer to an enzyme concentration of 100 U / mL.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the composite friction agent is a mixture of dicalcium phosphate with a particle size >10μm and silicon dioxide with a particle size of 1-10μm, wherein the mass fraction of dicalcium phosphate is 5-8.5 parts and the mass fraction of silicon dioxide is 10-16.5 parts.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the composite chelating agent is a mixture of tetrasodium pyrophosphate with a molecular weight <1000 and polyvinylpyrrolidone with a molecular weight >1000, wherein the mass fraction of tetrasodium pyrophosphate is 0.75-2.25 parts and the mass fraction of polyvinylpyrrolidone is 0.25-0.75 parts.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the film-forming agent is a PVM / MA copolymer, with a mass fraction of 0.5-2 parts.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the enamel repair component is hydroxyapatite with a particle size of 100nm-5μm and a mass fraction of 2-10 parts.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the moisturizer is a mixture of glycerin and sorbitol in a mass ratio of 3:2, wherein the mass fraction of glycerin is 12-18 parts and the mass fraction of sorbitol is 8-12 parts.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the thickener is sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, with a mass fraction of 0.5-1.5 parts;

[0015] The foaming agent is sodium lauryl sulfate, in parts by weight of 1-3 parts.

[0016] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the sweetener is sodium saccharin, with a mass fraction of 0.1-0.5 parts;

[0017] The preservative is potassium sorbate, with a mass fraction of 0.05-0.3 parts;

[0018] The flavoring is peppermint flavoring, with a weight of 0.05-0.1 parts.

[0019] A method for preparing the above-mentioned toothpaste includes the following steps:

[0020] W1. Walnut shell powder, beech, oyster shell, and Manegug glacial mud were mixed in a mass ratio of 3:3:2:1 and ground to 100 mesh to obtain plant powder. Dextranase and glucose oxidase were mixed in a volume ratio of 1:1 and diluted with 0.1 mol / L pH 6.0 phosphate buffer to an enzyme concentration of 100 U / mL to obtain a compound enzyme solution. The plant powder and compound enzyme solution were mixed in a mass-volume ratio of 1:8, and enzymatically hydrolyzed in a 37°C constant temperature water bath with magnetic stirring at 150 r / min for 10 minutes. The mixture was then filtered through a 100-mesh filter cloth to obtain the plant enzymatic hydrolysate.

[0021] W2. Add the humectant, compound abrasive, compound chelating agent, enamel repair ingredients, and thickener to deionized water, and stir at 50°C and 300 rpm for 30 minutes to obtain mixture A; after mixture A cools to 30°C, add the plant enzymatic hydrolysate, film-forming agent, foaming agent, sweetener, preservative, and fragrance, stir at 200 rpm for 20 minutes, degas under vacuum ≥0.09 MPa for 15 minutes, and then fill and seal.

[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0023] (1) After the plant powder and compound enzyme solution are hydrolyzed in a specific ratio, active ingredients such as flavonoids are produced, which can decompose pigments and enhance permeability; the compound abrasive removes surface and groove stains respectively, and the compound chelating agent softens and binds metal ions in a synergistic manner. The three work together to make the ΔE value reach more than 6.8, which is significantly better than the single component.

[0024] (2) The film-forming agent forms a protective film on the tooth surface, which, combined with the enamel repair components, fills the grooves and gives it long-lasting stain resistance. Detailed Implementation
