Abstract

Baby powder is an astringent powder used to prevent diaper rash. It also has other cosmetic uses. In general, it is composed of talc powder (talcum powder). Talc powder is harmful if inhaled because it can cause significant lung damage. With the aim of developing a new rice-based baby powder, three kinds of rice varieties were selected and pulverized. To determine the cost-effectiveness of the different states of rice powder, several milling processes were tried, and the powder characteristics of the resulting rice powder, such as particle size, biological activities, digitalized color value, and moisture content before and after coating treatment with essential oil and silicon oil, were examined. "Goami" showed good flour characteristics with respect to lightness (92.0, $L^*$[D65] value) and particle size ($8.9{\mu}m$). SEM analysis showed that the rice powder particles coated in the essential oil and silicon oil showed a smoother and rounder appearance than those of the talc powder. In addition, the average particle size was decreased by the essential oil and silicon oil coating. The silicon oil coating solved the problem of moisture absorption in rice flour. Rice flour properly coated with essential oil and silicon oil shows great potential as a new material source of powder.

유아용 파우더는 유아의 기저귀 발진을 방지하거나 기타 다른 화장용 파우더의 원료로 사용되고 있고 그 주성분은 일반적으로 광물질인 탈크 분말이 주로 이용되고 있다. 탈크 분말은 사용에 있어 호흡기로 흡입하게 되면 심각한 폐 손상 등을 야기하여 위험하다고 알려져 있다. 쌀 분말을 이용한 유아용 파우더를 개발하기 위하여 3종류의 쌀 품종이 사용되었고, 곱게 분쇄하였다. 최적의 유아용 파우더를 얻기 위해 몇 단계의 분쇄과정을 거쳤고, 파우더에 대한 오일과 실리콘 코팅 처리 전후의 파우더 입자크기, 생리활성, 색차, 수분 흡수율 등의 파우더 특성을 검정하였다. 분말의 색택과 입자 크기 등의 특성에서 고아미 품종의 파우더가 우수한 특성을 보였고, 전자현미경 관찰결과 오일과 실리콘 오일 코팅한 쌀 파우더가 탈크에 비해 둥글고 부드러운 모양을 나타내었다. 또한 오일과 실리콘 코팅에 의해 평균 입자크기가 줄어드는 현상을 나타내었으며 쌀 분말의 단점인 수분흡수를 차단하여 파우더로서 우수한 특성을 유지함을 보였다.
