Abstract

Vegetable fatty acid solid soap requires a drying process for moisture evaporation and hardness after being manufactured through saponification. Although the soap is manufactured by mixing additives mainly from natural ingredients, existing studies have focused primarily on the usability of vegetable solid soap. Consequently, research into the physical properties of vegetable fatty acid solid soap mixed with natural ingredients has been unsatisfactory. Therefore, this study attempted to compare and observe the changes in the physical properties (pH, surface tension, critical micelle concentration, and cleansing power) of solid soap in accordance with the drying period and additives (tea tree E.O and $TiO_2$) using pH paper, the Du Nouy measurement method, sedimentation method, and ultrasound washer. Regardless of the mixture with additives, vegetable fatty acid solid soap showed the same pH, and there was no change in the pH while maintaining pH 8 beginning from the $2^{nd}$ weeks to $12^{th}$ weeks of drying. In addition, as a result of measuring the surface tension and CMC, regardless of the drying period, only the soap added with $TiO_2$ showed an even value of 62.5mg/L, whereas the other soap specimens showed a decline in CMC to 25mg/L on the fourth week of drying. As a result of measuring the detergency, the removal efficiency of vegetable fatty acid solid soap mixed with tea tree E.O and $TiO_2$ and dried for four weeks was 4.50~4.65%, which was higher than that of the vegetable fatty acid solid soap without additives (3.62~3.92%).

식물성지방산 고형비누는 검화법 제조 후 수분증발 및 경도를 위한 건조과정이 필요하며, 주로 천연성분의 첨가물을 혼합하여 제조하고 있으나 그동안의 연구는 식물성고형비누의 사용성에 관한 연구가 대부분으로 천연성분이 혼합된 식물성 지방산 고형비누의 물리적 특성과 관련된 연구는 미비한 상태이다. 이에 본 연구는 고형비누가 건조되는 기간과 첨가물(tea tree E.O, $TiO_2$)에 따른 비누의 물성 변화(pH, 표면장력, 임계미셀농도, 세정력)를 pH paper, Du Nouy 측정법, 침전법과 초음파 세척기를 이용하여 비교 관찰하고자 하였다. 식물성지방산 고형비누는 첨가물의 혼합여부와 상관없이 pH가 동일하게 나타났으며, 건조 2주~12주까지 pH8로 변화가 없었다. 또한, 표면장력과 CMC 측정결과 $TiO_2$가 첨가된 비누만 건조기간과 상관없이 62.5mg/L로 일정한 값을 보였으며, 다른 비누시료는 건조 4주째만 CMC가 25mg/L로 낮아졌다. 세정력 측정 결과 4주간 건조한 Tea tree E.O, $TiO_2$를 혼합한 식물성지방산 고형비누의 제거효율은 4.50~4.65%로 첨가물이 없는 식물성지방산 고형비누의 제거효율 3.62~3.92%보다 세정력이 높게 나타났다.
