Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of artemisia toothpaste technology, and in particular relates to a toothpaste based on high-purity artemisia extract and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] With increasing health awareness, oral care products containing natural herbal active ingredients are gaining popularity among consumers. Extracts from plants such as mugwort, honeysuckle, and licorice have been proven to possess multiple benefits, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Furthermore, enzymes such as lysozyme and papain, due to their specific biological activities, are also being explored for addition to oral care products to enhance cleaning and care effects.

[0003] However, combining multiple active ingredients into a single product system faces significant technical challenges: First, there is the issue of compatibility and stability. The phenolic hydroxyl structure of plant polyphenols easily interacts with amino and thiol groups in proteins, leading to co-precipitation, oxidative inactivation, or covalent bonding and loss of activity. Conventional toothpaste base ingredients, such as anionic surfactants, can also denature proteins. Second, there is the issue of disordered release. Existing technologies mostly employ physical mixing or simple encapsulation, resulting in random and rapid release of each component in the oral cavity. This does not adhere to the ideal sequence of action in oral care, significantly reducing synergistic effects and potentially interfering with healthy oral flora. Third, there is the issue of targeted targeting. Most components lack the ability to actively identify sites of oral inflammation, have short residence times in the dynamic oral environment, and exhibit low bioavailability.

[0004] Therefore, how to improve the application of active ingredients such as mugwort in toothpaste products remains a long-term technical problem that needs to be addressed in this field. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues and further enhance the performance of active ingredients such as Artemisia argyi in toothpaste products, this application provides a toothpaste based on a high-purity extract of Artemisia argyi and its preparation method.

[0006] This application first provides a toothpaste based on a high-purity extract of Artemisia argyi, comprising the following components: a toothpaste matrix and loaded microspheres; wherein the loaded microspheres are composed of a co-precipitated complex and adhesive micro / nano particles as the core and chitosan gel as the shell; The coprecipitation complex includes freeze-dried powder of high-purity Artemisia argyi extract, Lonicera japonica extract, and Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract; The adhesive micro / nanoparticles include papain and lysozyme.

[0007] Furthermore, the mass ratio of the toothpaste matrix to the loaded microspheres is 1:0.02-0.035.

[0008] Furthermore, the toothpaste base comprises the following components in parts by weight: 15-25 parts water, 30-50 parts calcium carbonate, 20-40 parts humectant, 0.2-0.5 parts sodium carboxymethyl cellulose, 0.5-0.8 parts xanthan gum, 0.2-0.5 parts sodium pyrophosphate, 1-1.2 parts fragrance, 2-2.5 parts SDS, 0.2-0.3 parts sodium saccharin, 0.01-0.02 parts sodium hydroxide, and 0.05-0.06 parts methylparaben.

[0009] Furthermore, the moisturizer is at least one of glycerin, sorbitol, and propylene glycol.

[0010] This application provides a method for preparing toothpaste based on high-purity Artemisia argyi extract, comprising the following steps: 1) Sodium alginate and whey protein isolate were dissolved in deionized water to obtain a base solution. Artemisia argyi extract, Lonicera japonica extract and Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract were added to the base solution and homogenized by ultrasonication to obtain a mixture. The mixture was slowly dripped into glyceryl caprylate and emulsified by high-speed shearing. Then it was transferred to a curing solution for curing. After filtration and washing, a coprecipitated complex was obtained. 2) Papain and lysozyme were added to PBS buffer, heated to 55°C, and soybean lecithin was added. The mixture was shaken and extruded through a membrane to obtain liposome microspheres. The liposome microspheres were then dispersed in MES buffer, and lipoic acid and a catalyst were added. The mixture was reacted at room temperature to obtain adhesive micro / nanoparticles. 3) Disperse the coprecipitated complex and the adhered micro / nanoparticles in deionized water, then add chitosan solution, mix well and centrifuge. After centrifugation, take the centrifuged product and redisperse it in deionized water, then add enzymatically hydrolyzed gelatin solution. Repeat the operation, filter, wash, freeze dry to obtain loaded microspheres, and then mix toothpaste matrix and loaded microspheres evenly to obtain the final product.

[0011] Furthermore, in step 1), the mass ratio of the high-purity Artemisia argyi extract, Lonicera japonica extract, and Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract is 1:0.2-0.3:0.5-0.65.

[0012] Furthermore, in step 1), the curing solution is a 0.1M calcium chloride solution.

[0013] Furthermore, in step 2), the mass ratio of papain to lysozyme is 1:1-1.5.

[0014] Furthermore, in step 2), the mass ratio of soybean lecithin to lipoic acid is 1:1.2-1.5.

[0015] Furthermore, in step 3), the mass ratio of the coprecipitated complex to the adhered micro / nano particles is 1:0.35-0.5.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this application has the following beneficial effects: This application employs a multi-layered composite structure, constructing a chitosan mineralization layer on the outermost layer to provide a dense physical barrier. This effectively blocks the penetration of inactivating factors such as oxygen and metal ions, slows down the oxidative hydrolysis of polyphenols, and protects the internal co-precipitated complex and adherent micro / nano particles. Furthermore, isolation is maintained between the co-precipitated complex and the adherent micro / nano particles, allowing for the sequential release of different active components, maximizing their effectiveness, and reducing interference between components. Additionally, pH-triggered adhesion and enzyme-triggered deshielding release the internal components, disrupting the biofilm of harmful bacteria such as dental plaque, inhibiting plaque formation, and reducing plaque buildup. Moreover, the released papain and mugwort active ingredients can alleviate the irritation to teeth caused by hot, cold, sweet, and sour foods, relieving tooth sensitivity and exhibiting excellent anti-sensitivity effects.

Artemisia argyi extract, Lonicera japonica extract and Glycyrrhiza uralensis extract were added to the base solution and homogenized by ultrasonication to obtain a mixture. The mixture was slowly dripped into glyceryl caprylate and emulsified by high-speed shearing. Then it was transferred to a curing solution for curing. After filtration and washing, a coprecipitated complex was obtained. 2) Papain and lysozyme were added to PBS buffer, heated to 55°C, and soybean lecithin was added. The mixture was shaken and extruded through a membrane to obtain liposome microspheres. The liposome microspheres were then dispersed in MES buffer, and lipoic acid and a catalyst were added. The mixture was reacted at room temperature to obtain adhesive micro / nanoparticles. 3) Disperse the coprecipitated complex and the adhered micro / nanoparticles in deionized water, then add chitosan solution, mix well and centrifuge. After centrifugation, take the centrifuged product and redisperse it in deionized water, then add enzymatically hydrolyzed gelatin solution. Repeat the operation, filter, wash, freeze dry to obtain loaded microspheres, and then mix toothpaste matrix and loaded microspheres evenly to obtain the final product.
