The balsam is an annual plant of the family Asteraceae,
Inpatiens Balsamina
It has a scientific name of L.) and has been used as a crude drug for a long time.For example, it has been reported that the extract of white petals of balsam and its isolated components have an anti-anaphylactic effect. [(Phytotherapy Res., 114
8-50 (1997)), the extract of whole herbs and its isolated components are known to have a testosterone 5α-reductase inhibitory action. (JP-A-11-21
245). Further, the pharmacological effects such as the antiallergic action of several naphthoquinone derivatives and dinaphthofuranquinone derivatives contained in the extracts of Astragalus membranaceus are known.
(JP-A-2000-26447, JP-A-2000-23916)
No. 1). However, only the pharmacological effect is disclosed in any of the prior arts, and the deodorizing action against malodor is not disclosed at all.

An object of the present invention is to provide a safe deodorant composition, a deodorant, and a liquid deodorant which are highly safe for humans, organisms and the environment and have an excellent deodorant effect. .

[0005]

The inventors of the present invention have confirmed that Borax edulis extract has a very excellent deodorizing effect in terms of safety, immediate effect, and sustainability of effects against various malodors. The invention was completed.

[0006] That is, the present invention, as a means for solving the above-mentioned problems, contains as an active ingredient a fraction extracted from whole grass or a part thereof of spinach with one or more solvents selected from water and organic solvents. A deodorant composition is provided.

As another means for solving the above problems, the present invention provides a liquid deodorant in which the deodorant is dissolved in water, ethanol or a mixture thereof.

[0008]

BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The deodorant composition of the present invention comprises a fraction extracted from the whole grass or a part thereof of balsam (Inpatiens Balsamina L.) (including related species or subspecies) as an active ingredient ( Hereinafter referred to as "deodorant component").

[0009] The whole plant or part of the lotus, for example leaves,
The stems, petals, seeds, and roots may be dried or not dried, and may be cut if necessary to enhance the extraction efficiency of the deodorant component.

To extract the deodorant component, one or more selected from water and an organic solvent is used. These are water, a mixture of water and one or more organic solvents, or two or more. Can be used as a mixture of organic solvents. The water may be room temperature or hot water, or may be an aqueous solution in which an acid, an alkali or various salts are dissolved.

The organic solvent may be a hydrophilic organic solvent, a hydrophobic organic solvent or a mixture of one or more of these. Examples of such an organic solvent include lower alcohols such as methanol, ethanol, propanol and isopropanol, ketones such as acetone and methyl ethyl ketone, hydrocarbons such as hexane, benzene, toluene and petroleum ether, methyl acetate, ethyl acetate and the like. Examples thereof include esters of chloroform, halogenated hydrocarbons such as chloroform, dichloromethane, and 1,2-dichloroethane, and ethers such as diethyl ether and tetrahydrofuran. Among them, if considering the effects on the living body and the environment, Alcohols are preferred.

Further, the molded article of the present invention can be made into a form in which the deodorant composition is supported on various carriers for ease of use depending on the application. Examples of the carrier include a porous molded body, for example, a granular material such as zeolite, various natural or synthetic fibers, woven cloth, non-woven cloth or paper. The method of loading on these carriers is not particularly limited, and for example, a powdered deodorant composition is packed in the fine pores of zeolite, or a powdered deodorant composition is kneaded into fibers to form a woven fabric. Alternatively, a sheet-shaped deodorizing composition may be used as a non-woven fabric, or a powder-like, gel-like, sheet-like deodorizing composition may be sandwiched between two sheets of paper.

The deodorant composition of the present invention is dissolved in water, ethanol or a mixture thereof from the viewpoints of ease of use and high deodorant effect, and high safety for humans and pets. It is preferable to use the liquid deodorant.

When such a liquid deodorant is used, the concentration of the above deodorant composition in the liquid deodorant in actual use is preferably 0.01 to 50% by mass, more preferably 0. It is 1 to 10 mass%.

The liquid deodorant of the present invention is a concentrated liquid deodorant having a high concentration of the deodorant composition in consideration of the convenience of transportation and storage in the distribution process. It can also be diluted with water or ethanol before use.

Further, when the liquid deodorant is used, it can be used as it is by a method such as spraying or coating, or it can be used as an aerosol type deodorant filled with LPG type gas in a container. You can also do it.

Further, the liquid deodorant can be used in the form of being supported on the above various porous carriers. As a form of being supported on such a porous carrier, for example, a form in which a liquid deodorant is impregnated into a sheet-shaped carrier such as fibers such as absorbent cotton, woven fabric, and non-woven fabric can be used. .

The deodorant composition of the present invention is prepared by using the whole grass or a part thereof of the spinach, as a raw material, at room temperature or by heating with the above-mentioned water and organic solvent, and extracting the deodorant component under normal pressure or pressure. However, it can be obtained as it is or by distilling off the solvent. Furthermore, if necessary, a purification means which is usually used, for example, column chromatography, thin layer chromatography, high performance liquid chromatography or recrystallization can be repeated.

Although the details of the deodorizing mechanism of the deodorant composition of the present invention are unknown, various deodorant components include naphthoquinone, scopoletin, ferulic acid, benzoic acid, coumaric acid, kaempferol, their respective derivatives and coloring components. , And other components are contained, and it is presumed that these components act synergistically to exert the deodorizing effect.
