AI Technical Summary
There is a lack of a fermented liquid derived from distilled wood vinegar that can be effectively utilized in cosmetics and quasi-drugs for antimicrobial properties, particularly against pathogenic microorganisms such as fungi and viruses, and its use in agricultural applications is limited.
A fermented liquid is produced by fermenting distilled wood vinegar with specific yeast strains at controlled temperatures and then sterilizing it, resulting in a supernatant that can be incorporated into cosmetics and agents for pathogen removal.
The fermented liquid exhibits enhanced antimicrobial properties against pathogens like Pyricularia oryzae, Rhizoctonia solani, and dermatophytes, making it suitable for cosmetics and quasi-drugs, while also addressing agricultural issues.
Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a fermentation broth obtained by fermenting distilled pyroligneous liquor with yeast, which is used in cosmetics such as facial cleansers, makeup removers, lotions, emulsions, creams, beauty essences, beauty oils, toilet soaps, body and hair cleansers, hair conditioning agents, etc., quasi-drugs including medicinal cosmetics, and agents and bactericides for removing pathogenic microorganisms including fungi and viruses. Technical Background
[0002] Conventionally, pyroligneous liquor purified by distillation, also called rectified acetic acid, is known to have a bactericidal effect on rice blast bacteria, seedling blight bacteria, brown stripe bacteria, rice blast fungi, and bakanae disease fungi, which are problems in crop cultivation, and is also known as a food additive.
[0003] Also, the pyroligneous liquor before distillation has been used as a material to be added to the bathtub when taking a bath.
[0004] As described above, it is a known fact that pyroligneous liquor and distilled pyroligneous liquor are already used in the agricultural field and the cosmetic field, etc., but the fermentation broth obtained by fermenting the distilled pyroligneous liquor is unknown.

[0013] Also included are the Fagaceae family, which includes Quercus acutissima, Quercus aliena, Quercus crispula, Quercus dentata, Quercus serrata, and Quercus variabilis; the Cupressaceae family, which includes Cryptomena japonica; the Pinaceae family, which includes Tsuga sieboldii and Tsuga heterophylla; and Phyllostachys bambusoides, Phyllostachys Hheterocycla f. Pubescence, Phyllostachys nigra, and Phyllostachys aurea. Distilled wood vinegar is obtained by distilling the supernatant liquid of the dry distillate, which is obtained by dry distilling the wood of one or more trees of the Poaceae family, including grasses such as Phyllostachys Hheterocycla f.heterocycla, Bambusa mutiplex, Sinobambusa tootsik, Chimonobambusa marmorea, Pseudosasa japonica, and Pleioblastus simonii. dairenensis, Saccharomyces ellipsoideus, Saccharomyces florentinus, Saccharomyces kluyveri, Saccharomyces martiniae, Saccharomyces norbensis, Saccharomyces paradoxus, Saccharomyces pastorianus, Saccharomyces spencerorum, Saccharomyces turicensis, Saccharomyces unisporus, Saccharomycesuvarum, Saccharomyces zonatus, genus Saccharomycopsis, Candida kefyr, Candida bombicola, Candida utilis, Candida saitoana, Zygosaccharomyces rouxii, Zygosaccharomyces microellipsoides, genus Kluyveromyces, Schizosaccharomyces of the genus SchizosaccharomycesFermented with pombe, Torulaspora delbrueckii (of the Torulaspora genus), Pichia anomala (of the Pichia genus), Pichia caribbica (of the Pichia genus), Pseudoxyma tsukubaensis (of the Pseudoxyma genus), and yeasts of the Endomyces genus, or a combination of two or more of these, the resulting fermented liquid can be stably incorporated into agents for removing pathogenic microorganisms, including fungi and viruses, and as fungicides.
[0014] Wood vinegar has traditionally been used in the industrial sector to produce acetic acid and methanol.
[0015] Furthermore, although this material was registered as a pesticide for fungicidal purposes from 1973 to 1979, its registration expired after 1979, and therefore, it is now prohibited under the Agricultural Chemicals Control Law to sell it as a fungicidal pesticide.
[0016] However, wood vinegar and distilled wood vinegar are said to have antibacterial effects against dermatophytes such as Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum. This effect is believed to be due to growth inhibition and fungicidal action.
[0017] The fermented liquid obtained by fermenting the distilled wood vinegar obtained in this invention with yeast is expected to contain functional components such as amino acids and vitamins produced by fermentation, in addition to the components of conventional wood vinegar and distilled wood vinegar.
[0018] Based on the information described above, the fermented distilled wood vinegar obtained in this invention is suitable as an ingredient to be incorporated into cosmetics such as facial cleansers, makeup removers, lotions, emulsions, creams, serums, beauty oils, cosmetic soaps, body and hair cleansers, and hair conditioning agents, as well as quasi-drugs including medicated cosmetics.
[0019] In addition, the fermented and distilled pyroligneous acid obtained by the present invention has been confirmed to have antibacterial and bactericidal effects against Pyricularia oryzae, Rhizoctonia solani, brown stripe pathogen, Gibberella fujikuroi, Fusarium oxysporum, and dermatophytes such as Trichophyton mentagrophytes and Trichophyton rubrum, which are problems in crop cultivation. Therefore, it is suitable as a material for blending into agents for removing pathogenic microorganisms including fungi and viruses, and disinfectants.
