Description

Detailed Description of the Invention (Industrial Application Field) The present invention uses white rice bran obtained by polishing brown rice, removing the red bran that initially appears, and further polishing, as a raw material, and adding koji or By mixing starch degrading enzyme,
The present invention relates to a method for producing cosmetics that have excellent effects when used.

(Prior Art) Rice bran has traditionally been used as a rice bran bag for bathing, but it is thought that this was mainly used for cleaning purposes. This rice bran bag requires a lot of effort, such as packing it into a bag each time and washing the bag after each use. It rots once used. Rubbing the skin with the bag hurts the skin. It is difficult for hot water to penetrate, and it becomes powdery. Many shortcomings have been pointed out, such as the fact that it takes time and effort to use, and that it can only be used in a bathtub as a bran bag, which serves only a single purpose. According to the results of the present inventors' use of rice bran bags, a slight cleaning effect was observed, but the effect of making the skin moist or smooth could hardly be obtained.

(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) In recent years, there has been a trend toward natural products in all fields, and cosmetics are no exception. This is attracting attention not only from the viewpoint of side effects but also from the viewpoint of safety. Safety is required on the one hand because of the effect on the skin or absorption through the skin when applied to the skin over a long period of time, and on the other hand when it is applied to the skin, especially on the hands. It is absorbed into the body orally.

This is also clear from newspapers and magazines that loofah water and rice bran bags are selling very well.

These too remain as they have been in the past, and not only have no further progress been made, but many of the above-mentioned drawbacks have been reported regarding rice bran bags.

(Means for Solving the Problem) The present inventors have conducted research on various plant components, focusing on rice, which is a staple food, from the viewpoint of biocompatibility between plants and animals.

First of all, we focused on rice bran bags, crushed brown rice, white rice, and polished rice with a rice polishing ratio of 5.
Using rice bran up to 0%, red rice bran with a rice polishing ratio of up to 92%, and wheat flour, the bags were made into bags either as they were or mixed with enzymes, and then soaked in hot water for sensory evaluation. It was never recognized. However, the rice polishing ratio is 9
Red rice bran that can be obtained with up to 2% and rice polishing ratio of 92% or more to 50%
When we separated the rice bran obtained in step 1 and used the rice bran obtained in step 1 as a raw material, we mixed koji or starch-degrading enzyme with it and used it as it was or by adding it to hot water or water. They discovered that effective cosmetics could be obtained and completed the present invention.

That is, in the present invention, brown rice is milled to remove the red rice bran portion, and then the white rice bran is further polished to separate and collect the white rice bran.
Alternatively, this is a method for producing cosmetics from rice, which is characterized in that the rice is used by adding it to hot water or water.

When rice bran obtained with a rice polishing ratio of 92% to 50% was used as it is or added to hot water or water, no effect was observed.

Moreover, even when used in bags, not only was no effect observed, but the product turned into powder-like powder, making it extremely difficult to use. However, after conducting various biological and enzymatic reactions, it was found that koji or starch-degrading enzymes are effective.

Next, details of the manufacturing method will be explained.

First, after removing the bran from the germ of brown rice using a rice milling machine, the rice was polished to obtain white rice bran. In addition, the rice bran mentioned here refers to rice bran obtained with a rice polishing ratio of 92 to 50%.

Next, koji or starch-degrading enzyme is added to the rice bran while stirring, and mixed uniformly. As for the stirring method, if it is a small amount, it can be mixed in a mortar or a mortar. However, if the amount is large, a general mixer, feed mixer, or flash mixer may be used. At this time, the quantity ratio of rice bran is more than hundreds of times, so if it is difficult to achieve uniformity, it is preferable to stir in several stages.
Repeat steps 10 to 50 as necessary.

The amount of koji or starch-degrading enzyme to be added depends on the type of enzyme, so use that as a guide.

Note that the koji needs to be finely ground in order to be uniformly dispersed in the rice bran. This can be packed in a bag or a portable container, and the bag can be soaked in hot water and used as a rice bran bag, or it can be taken out of the bag or container and added to hot water. good.

Next, the best temperature and reaction time are about 1 hour at the appropriate temperature for each enzyme, and the reaction time may be shorter as long as the reaction is carried out, but the effect will not change even if it is longer. In addition, since it seems that the product is often used in the bath, the reaction was performed at 40 to 45°C, and the reaction was quick and the effect was sufficiently observed even in a few minutes.

The temperature may be below 40℃, and even in the case of water, it is 24℃, 3
According to the results of the reaction for 0 minutes, although the effect was somewhat reduced, the practicality was sufficient, and at the temperature where the enzyme reaction is carried out, it was possible to use either hot water or cold water as long as enough time was taken. On the other hand, in the case of liquefaction enzyme, the reaction was instantaneous and effective even at 90°C.

Furthermore, it has been found that the product of the present invention exhibits exactly the same effect even when applied to the skin in powder form, and has a wide range of applications.

We attempted sensory evaluation of liquefied enzymes using various raw materials, but none other than rice bran had any effect. Therefore, we mixed various enzymes into rice bran and added it to hot water at 65°C.
Table 1 shows the sensory evaluation after standing for a period of time.

Table 1 Panelists: 10 people: 5 men, 5 women Note 1 The reaction method was carried out according to Example 1.

However, after thoroughly drying 5g of koji, grind it in a mortar.
45 g of rice bran was added and thoroughly stirred.

Note 2: Sensory evaluation was performed after applying the product 5 times to the hand.

Note 3: The number indicates the number of people who felt that it was effective.Everyone answered that it had no effect at all, except for koji and starch-degrading enzymes. It is groundbreaking that it has been found to have both a moist and smooth feeling, which are the basic effects on the skin. Furthermore, it is a noteworthy finding that this effect is long-lasting.

Next, we investigated the effect of putting it in a bag and soaking it in 43°C bath water, which is thought to be the most commonly used material. The results are shown in Table 2.

Table 2 Panelists - 10 people, 5 men, 5 women However, care was taken to avoid the generation of mama flour in the enzyme-free bags.

Note 2: After soaking in warm water for 3 minutes, it was applied to the hands 20 times.

Note 3: The number indicates the number of people who felt that the product was effective. Even when used in a casual way like this, it still had a basic effect on the skin. In particular, with regard to liquefied enzymes, it was discovered that what everyone thought was moist and smooth has already left the field of rice bran bags and is now seen as a cosmetic product. In addition, when the product packed in a rice bran bag was squeezed into hot water at 43°C and used, the same effects as shown in Table 2 were observed whether it was used as a face wash or as a Pode lotion applied to the entire body. It was done.

This shows that unlike rice bran bags, this product can be used for many purposes, making it a highly versatile product.

Furthermore, when the rice bran bag was left in water at 24° C. for 30 minutes, by extending the time in this way, the product could be used even in water. Furthermore, even if it is applied to the skin in powder form, it has the same effect, and many forms of use have become possible.

In addition, not only the problems with rice bran bags were solved, but also
Although it has been recognized that it has cosmetic effects, and its uses have become very wide, another drawback of rice bran bags remains, their inefficiency. This is a huge loss in terms of resources. Therefore, Table 3 shows the results of testing the usage efficiency of this product, that is, the amount of rice bran remaining in the bag after use.

Table 3 Note: Conducted according to Example 2.

In this way, in the case of this product, it was recognized that the utilization efficiency of raw materials was extremely high. In particular, in the case of liquefaction enzymes, they can be used almost completely, making them very effective in terms of effective use of resources.

(Effects of the Invention) As is clear from the above sensory evaluation results, when the product of the present invention was used, an excellent effect of making the skin feel moist and smooth was obtained. This is a fundamentally important effect as a cosmetic product, and it is completely different from the conventional cleansing rice bran bag, and it is revolutionary that it can be clearly called a cosmetic product. In other words, it not only solves the drawbacks of conventional rice bran bags, but also has a moisturizing and smoothing effect even though it is a natural product that does not contain oil. It can be used as a liquid by adding powder to water or water, and can also be used as a rice bran bag.

In addition, it was found that it not only has many effects when used as a rice bran bag, but also as a face wash and body lotion, and is useful for the beauty of the whole body.

Furthermore, it was found that the utilization efficiency of raw materials was very good, and this effect was also very long-lasting.

Since the product of the present invention is made from rice bran, it is not only safe and drinkable (also, the manufacturing method is very nutritious).
11. It is revolutionary in that it is easy to use and extremely versatile.

(Example) Example 1 Brown rice was subjected to a rice polishing machine, and red rice bran was separated by 90% polishing. After this, the rice bran obtained up to 90-50% was collected.

0.2 g of liquefied enzyme was added to 50 g of this rice bran and stirred well. This was added to 300 ml of hot water at 65°C and left for 1 hour while maintaining the temperature. This product was applied to the arm five times to examine its effects.

Example 2 5 g of liquefied enzyme was added to 50 g of rice bran obtained in the same manner as in Example 1.
was added and thoroughly stirred in a mortar. Furthermore, the entire amount was added to 950 g of white rice bran and thoroughly stirred in a rice bran. This was packed in 20 g each into cotton bags and tied to make a bran bag.

This one bag was placed in 21 hot water at 43°C, and was gently kneaded for 3 minutes to measure the penetration of the hot water and proceed with the enzyme reaction. This rice bran bag was applied to the arm 20 times to examine the effect.

Next, put the bag in 21 hot water at 43°C, and measure the penetration of the hot water by rubbing it lightly about 20 times for 30 seconds. After soaking it in hot water for another 5 minutes, squeeze it lightly, and soak it in hot water again. After repeating the squeezing operation several times, I squeezed out enough. This filtrate was applied to the arms and body to examine its effects.

Furthermore, put the other bag in 21 hot water at 43°C in the same way, rub it gently to measure the penetration of the hot water, soak it in the hot water for 5 minutes, apply it to your hands for about 1 minute, and boil it again. After returning to the room temperature, the bag was squeezed several times, then squeezed thoroughly, the bag was opened, and the contents were scraped out onto a filter paper using a sanitizing agent. After drying in the sun, the weight was measured.

Example 3 After sufficiently drying 10 g of koji, it was ground in a mortar.

90 g of rice bran obtained in Example 1 was added to this,
Stir thoroughly. This was packed into cotton bags of 20 g each, and the openings were tied to form bran bags.
