Description

The present group of inventions relates to variants of a reusable composition for the manufacture of gel products. The compositions can be used to make soaps, bath bombs, candles and other gel products, in particular, with attachments, made, in particular, within the framework of children's creativity.

Compositions of a similar composition are known from the prior art, described in CN 111481497 A, 08/04/2020, CN 106728934 A, 05/31/2017, CN 106420370 A, 02/22/2017. However, none of the mentioned documents discloses the quantitative composition of the composition, correlated with the properties of the gel structure.

Thus, the technical result of the claimed group of inventions is to create reusable compositions for the manufacture of gel products, which, due to their qualitative and quantitative composition, make it possible to obtain a thick, elastic, thermoreversible, and non-freezing gel structure.

The mentioned technical result is achieved due to the first variant of the reusable composition for the manufacture of gel products, containing the following ingredients in mass percent:

water - 89.12;

kappa carrageenan (E407) - 1.30;

konjac gum (E425) - 0.48;

extract of the red alga Rhodophyte - 0.20;

glycerol - 6.20;

propylene glycol - 2.00;

potassium chloride - 0.10;

phenoxyethanol - 0.60.

In addition, the mentioned technical result is achieved due to the second variant of the reusable composition for the manufacture of gel products, containing the following ingredients in mass percent:

water - 88.12…81.12;

kappa carrageenan (E407) - 1.30;

konjac gum (E425) - 0.48;

extract of the red alga Rhodophyte - 0.20;

glycerol - 6.20;

propylene glycol - 2.00;

potassium chloride - 0.10;

phenoxyethanol - 0.60;

pigment - 0.5 ... 5;

flavoring - 0.5 ... 3.

It should be noted that the combined use of kappa carrageenan and konjac gum, in the proportions indicated above, makes it possible to obtain a thick, but very elastic gel, as well as thermal reversibility, due to which the gel has properties for remelting.

At the same time, the use of the extract of the red alga Rhodophyte in combination with propylene glycol and glycerin allows to obtain a gel structure that does not dry out and is not prone to freezing.

In terms of substantiating the qualitative and quantitative composition of the compositions, the following should also be noted.

Kappa carrageenan (E407) belongs to the family of hydrocolloids that are used to compact, stabilize and create gels, reducing its amount will lead to a lack of thermal reversibility of the gel and a decrease in its density, which will not allow the formation of a sufficiently dense, and most importantly thermoreversible gel structure. On the contrary, increasing the amount of kappa carrageenan, more than the selected value, will lead to an increase in density, which will significantly reduce elasticity.

Konjac gum (E425), also known as glucomannan, less often konjac gum, a water-soluble heteropolysaccharide of plant origin, dietary fiber obtained from the tubers of the Amorphophalluskonjac plant, the main active ingredient of which is glucomannan, its properties are to create a helium structure, as well as to give it softness and elasticity . A decrease in the amount of this component will lead to a decrease in the density of the gel structure, and an increase in its amount to an increase in density, which, in both cases, will significantly reduce the elasticity.

Rhodophyte red algae extract reduces the amount of oxidized squalene on the skin surface, enhancing antioxidant protection, protects the skin from pollution, restoring its barrier functions. Rhodophyte red algae extract is an active ingredient, thanks to which the gel releases a sufficient amount of moisture, which prevents it from drying out. Reducing the amount of this component will lead to a decrease in moisture release, which will cause drying and, as a result, loss of gel elasticity. Increasing the amount of this component will lead to an increase in moisture release, which will lead to an unacceptable appearance.

A solution of glycerin with water allows you to bind the structures of molecules of other components of the composition, thus, a decrease in the amount of glycerin can lead to delamination of the finished gel, which is unacceptable, and an increase in the amount of glycerin, in excess of the selected value, can lead to a thinning of the gel consistency and, as a result, loss of shape .

Since propylene glycol is capable of lowering the freezing point of water, its introduction is due to the need for gel products to withstand various temperature conditions, including at sub-zero temperatures, which they may encounter during transportation in the cold season. Reducing the amount of propylene glycol will cause the gel to freeze at low temperatures, which will cause hardening and crystallization, leading to loss of integrity. Increasing the amount of propylene glycol will cause the gel to thin out and lose shape.

Potassium chloride is a stabilizer that is used to prevent decomposition i.e. connects the components into a structural chain, stabilizing them in the composition. Reducing the amount of potassium chloride can lead to the release of components from the gel. Increasing the amount of potassium chloride will cause the gel to harden.

Phenoxyethanol is a preservative, its role is to hinder the vital activity of microorganisms and mold fungi, as well as to slow down the chemical oxidation of organic substances by atmospheric oxygen. Thanks to the use of preservatives, unpleasant odors and the formation of harmful substances in the gel and on its surface are prevented. Reducing phenoxyethanol can lead to the growth of unfavorable flora, which will significantly reduce the shelf life of the produced gel product. Increasing the amount of phenoxyethanol can lead to allergic skin reactions.

In addition, fragrances (perfumes) and pigments may be added to the composition, in accordance with the desire and preference of the manufacturer, provided that these values will be within predetermined intervals.

Pigments are highly dispersed powdered dyes that impart opacity and color to materials (input up to 5%).

The following can be used as pigments: organic dyes, natural food dyes, fluorescent dyes, organic pigments, pearlescent pigments, polyester glitter, corresponding to the desired color of the product.

Flavors (perfumes) - substances that are used to give products or products certain odors, create or improve aroma (input up to 3%).

The following can be used as flavors: food flavors, fragrances for the perfumery and cosmetics industry and household chemicals based on fragrant substances and essential oils, corresponding to the desired perfume composition.

Declared in the framework of the present invention, the composition can be obtained in the following way:

- a prescription amount of cold water, potassium chloride and kappa carrageenan is loaded into the reactor;

- the reactor is heated to 75 degrees Celsius;

- a premix of glycerin, propylene glycol, konjac gum and Rhodophyte extract is produced in a separate container;

- a premix of glycerin, propylene glycol, konjac gum and Rhodophyte extract is introduced into a reactor with an aqueous phase heated to 75 degrees Celsius;

- the resulting mass is mixed for 30 minutes at a temperature of 75 degrees Celsius;

- after 30 minutes, a heat-resistant preservative (phenoxyethanol), as well as a pigment and a flavor are introduced;

- the resulting mass is mixed for another 10 minutes at a temperature of 75 degrees Celsius;

- after 10 minutes, the gel is fed for further packaging.

Gley mass at a temperature of 75 degrees Celsius is poured hot into the required forms. Inside the gel that has not yet cooled down, you can place any solid object, called a "surprise". When cooled, the gel hardens and takes the desired shape.

However, the gley mass can be remelted by reheating to a temperature of 75 degrees Celsius.
