Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention provides a method for extracting a plant extract of ginseng, dolphin, aloe, loquat leaf, peach leaf, wolfberry, peony root, and ginger, which has a skin-improving effect, and a method for extracting the same. The present invention relates to a plant extract and a skin improving product containing the plant extract as an active ingredient.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art It has been conventionally known that ginseng, dokudomi, aloe, loquat leaves, peach leaves, wolfberry, peony, and garlic plants have a moisturizing and radiant effect on the skin, For the purpose of beauty, it has been practiced to apply a liquid obtained by boiling these plants to the skin or to use it by putting it in a bath water.

In addition, paying attention to the skin improving effect, there are some cases in which lotions and bath salts containing the liquid boiled from these plants have been commercialized.

[0004]

In the conventional simmering method as a method for extracting the active ingredient, the extraction of the active ingredient is limited to elution in water or boiling water, and the active ingredient is eluted. However, since it exists in the form of being bound to starch, high-molecular polysaccharides, proteins, etc., there is a problem that the skin-improving effect does not appear remarkably in the intact form.

The present invention relates to a method for extracting a plant extract by decomposing an active ingredient, which has not been conventionally available, from a starch, a polysaccharide, a protein or the like by a bioreaction, a plant extract obtained by the method, and the plant extract. It is intended to provide a skin-improving product containing as an active ingredient.

[0006]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the inventions described in claims 1 and 2 are ginseng, dodami, aloe, loquat leaf, peach leaf, wolfberry, peony, and garlic. At least one of a starch-degrading enzyme, a protein-degrading enzyme, a koji mold, and a polysaccharide-degrading microorganism is added to at least one of the plants and reacted to extract a plant extract. Further, during the reaction process or after the reaction, at least one of yeast, lactic acid bacterium and lipolytic enzyme is added and reacted to extract a plant extract.

The invention described in claim 3 is a ginseng,
Extracted by adding at least one of starch degrading enzyme, proteolytic enzyme, koji mold, and polysaccharide-degrading microorganism to at least one plant of Dodami, aloe, loquat leaf, peach leaf, wolfberry, peony, and garlic. Plant extract. Furthermore,
During the reaction process or after the reaction, at least one of yeast, lactic acid bacterium and lipolytic enzyme is added and reacted to obtain a plant extract.

The inventions described in claims 4 to 7 are basic cosmetics, bath agents, soaps or body shampoos containing the plant extract of claim 3 as an active ingredient, and skin improvement which is an application agent for improving skin diseases. It is used as an article.

The invention described in claim 8 is, in the plant extract of claim 3, a hair-growing agent or hair-growing hair containing as an active ingredient a plant extract derived from at least one of Dodoma and loquat leaves. It is used as a skin improvement product that is a shampoo.

[0010]

In the method for extracting a plant extract according to the present invention, a starch-degrading enzyme, a proteolytic enzyme, a koji mold or the like is added to the useful plant, and a bioreaction is caused in a closed reaction vessel or the like to obtain a component having a polymer structure. Is decomposed into low-molecular-weight sugars and amino acids, and in this process, active ingredients that bind to starch, polysaccharides, proteins, etc., or become a part of these constituents are separated or produced and eluted.

Further, in addition to the enzyme and the koji mold, yeast or lactic acid bacterium is further added for fermentation, whereby different active ingredients can be further extracted.

Therefore, the skin-improving products such as the basic cosmetics, bath salts, body shampoos, and skin disease-applying agents containing the plant extract according to the present invention are far more effective in improving skin than those using the conventional plant brewing solution. It will be highly effective.

Further, among the plant extracts, by incorporating a plant extract containing at least one of Dodogami and loquat leaves as a raw material, the function of hair growth is enhanced.

[0014]

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION Since the present invention is the extract as described above, it has the following effects.

According to the invention described in claims 1 to 3,
Since the method of extracting the plant having a skin-improving effect by a bioreaction such as starch degrading enzyme, proteolytic enzyme, or Aspergillus oryzae, separation of the active ingredient bound to starch or polysaccharides, which is limited by conventional simmering, is performed. Elution is possible and much more effective plant extract is obtained.

According to the invention described in claims 4 to 7, the extracted plant extract is applied to the skin, and as a result, the texture becomes fine and the texture is fine and glossy, and the skin improving effect is great. Basic cosmetics, bath salts, soaps and body shampoos that have a large skin-improving effect by containing
Etc. can be made.

Further, when it is applied to the eczema part of the skin, the symptoms are improved, the effect of enhancing the vital function of the skin and healing of eczema and the like can be confirmed, and a skin disease improving application agent can be prepared.

Furthermore, according to the invention described in claim 8, the hair growth effect can be confirmed by applying the plant extract extracted from the leaves of Dodoma and loquat to the bald areas of the hair. Can be made.

[0019]

[Examples] Ginseng and loquat leaves are finely crushed and passed through heated steam, and then triple weight of water is added and heated to 45 ° C. To this, amylase which is a starch degrading enzyme, protease which is a proteolytic enzyme and rice koji are added, and the mixture is left to stand in a closed container at a temperature of 45 ° C. for 3 days.

In the meantime, the decomposed mud-like mixture of ginseng and loquat leaves is filtered through a filtration device to obtain a transparent ginseng and loquat leaf mixed extract.

4 ginseng and loquat leaf mixed extract
Eight women in their 0's and eight women in their thirties were applied to the face twice a day as monitors, and the skin condition after 2 weeks was observed with the naked eye and microscopic microscope at 50 times magnification. In 6 out of 8, 5 out of 8 in women in their thirties showed remarkable skin improving effects.

As a concrete improvement effect, there are many cases where the skin is tense or shiny, and it is observed by microscopic observation that the cuticles are small and the texture is fine. .

Further, when the ginseng and loquat leaf mixed extract was applied twice a day to 6 women with eczema, 6
Symptoms improved from day 2 to day 3 in 4 out of 6 people 6 to 7
It was confirmed that it was completely cured after a day, and in addition to improving the skin, it also has the effect of enhancing the vitality and function of the skin and healing eczema and the like.

A comparative monitor test was carried out on the conventional ginseng and loquat leaf simmering liquid, but almost no improvement in the skin was observed after 2 weeks, and after 5 weeks had passed. Only 3 out of 8 had a slight improvement effect.

In this example, the amount of water added to ginseng and loquat leaves was set to 300% and the heating temperature was set to 45 ° C., but the amount of water added was usually in the range of 50 to 400%. In addition, the temperature condition of the bioreaction is appropriately selected from the range of 10 to 80 ° C. according to the type of enzyme or microorganism used.
