Decolorized Pandanus conoideus Extracts for Cosmetics
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The intense red color of Pandanus conoideus fruit extracts limits their topical cosmetic and pharmacological use due to skin discoloration, and existing decolorization methods often result in significant loss of pharmacological activity.
Innovation Solution
Decolorization of Pandanus conoideus fruit extracts using methods such as UVB irradiation, oxidation with peroxides, or hydrogenation, which retain at least 70-90% of the anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects while achieving a color reduction of up to 90%, without using oxidizing agents or UV radiation.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Illumination intensity
If decolorization methods (oxidation with peroxides, UV irradiation, or hydrogenation) are applied to Pandanus conoideus fruit extracts, then the color intensity is reduced by up to 90%, but the pharmacological activity (anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer effects) is significantly lost
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies parameter changes by carefully controlling reaction conditions (temperature, time, concentration) of decolorization methods to achieve color reduction while preserving pharmacological activity. The extract is treated with modified parameters that allow discoloration without complete degradation of active compounds.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses partial action by applying decolorization treatments that achieve sufficient color reduction (up to 90%) without excessive treatment that would completely destroy pharmacological activity. The treatment is optimized to stop at the point where color is reduced but activity remains above 70-90%.
2Ease of operation
If strong decolorization treatments are used to achieve colorless extracts, then the cosmetic applicability is improved, but the pharmacological effectiveness is severely compromised
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies physical and chemical parameters of the extract through controlled decolorization, changing its optical properties (color) while maintaining its biological properties (pharmacological effectiveness) within acceptable ranges.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces mechanical filtration or physical separation methods with chemical decolorization methods (oxidation, UV treatment, hydrogenation) that can achieve deeper color removal while better preserving pharmacological activity.
3Ease of manufacture
If traditional boiling and grinding methods are used to prepare Pandanus conoideus extracts, then the extraction is simple and accessible, but the extracts remain intensely red and unusable for topical cosmetic applications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent extracts and removes the coloring substances from the Pandanus conoideus fruit extract through various decolorization methods, separating the desired pharmacological components from the unwanted pigments.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses strong oxidants such as peroxides to accelerate the decolorization process, breaking down chromophores in the extract through oxidation reactions, thereby achieving rapid and effective color removal.
