Gingerdiol Oral Care Composition Polyol Premix Process
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing oral care compositions face challenges in evenly distributing gingerdiol, making it difficult to achieve consistent antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects in oral hygiene products.
Innovation Solution
A process involving the synthesis of gingerdiol and its even distribution within an oral care composition by adding it to a polyol mixture with less than 5 wt% water, followed by incorporation into a liquid base composition, preferably with silica and other ingredients, to create a stable and effective dentifrice or toothpaste.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Stability of the object's composition
If gingerdiol is added directly to the oral care composition, then the composition can be formulated, but the gingerdiol cannot be evenly distributed throughout the product
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses a polyol (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, or sorbitol) as an intermediary medium to dissolve gingerdiol before incorporating it into the oral care composition. This mediator allows the gingerdiol to be evenly distributed throughout the final product, solving the distribution problem while maintaining ease of manufacture.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent employs a preliminary action by pre-dissolving gingerdiol in a polyol to create a concentrate solution before adding it to the oral care composition. This preliminary step ensures uniform distribution of gingerdiol throughout the final product, avoiding the distribution issues that would occur with direct addition.
2Stability of the object's composition
If water content is increased to improve solubility, then gingerdiol can be dissolved, but the composition becomes less stable and more prone to microbial growth
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the parameter of the solvent from water to polyol (such as glycerol, propylene glycol, or sorbitol). This parameter change allows gingerdiol to be dissolved while maintaining low water content (less than 5 wt%), thereby preserving composition stability and preventing microbial growth while achieving adequate solubility.
3Reliability
If gingerdiol concentration is increased to enhance therapeutic effect, then antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties improve, but distribution uniformity decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent uses polyol as an intermediary medium that can dissolve high concentrations of gingerdiol while maintaining uniform distribution. This mediator enables the formulation to achieve both high therapeutic efficacy through increased gingerdiol concentration and uniform distribution throughout the oral care composition.
Applied Scientific Principles
This section explains which scientific principles are used to turn an abstract innovation direction into a practical engineering solution.
Function Achieved in This Case
The process ensures uniform dispersion of gingerdiol throughout the oral care composition, enhancing its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, thereby improving oral hygiene and reducing the risk of gingivitis and periodontal diseases.
Implementation Method 1
adding gingerdiol to a polyol or a polyol mixture comprising less than 5 wt% of the polyol mixture of water, to form a gingerdiol pre-mix in the form of a suspension or solution
