Development of a cosmetic dye based on the seed of Bixa orellana L. (Bixaceae) and evaluation of its in vitro effect

Abstract

ResumenEl estudio tuvo como finalidad desarrollar un tinte cosmético natural a base de semilla de Bixa orellana L. (Bixaceae) y evaluar su efecto in vitro. Para el desarrollo del tinte cosmético de la semilla de Bixa orellana L. se consideraron dos concentraciones del colorante obtenido (5% y 10%); luego, se realizaron estudios de compatibilidad de las materias primas con el colorante en estudio. El producto elaborado fue envasado y etiquetado, se realizaron controles de calidad organolépticos y fisicoquímicos, así como también, se determinó el tiempo de vida útil de la formulación a través de los estudios de estabilidad acelerada y de largo plazo. Finalmente, se determinó el efecto in vitro del tinte cosmético mediante su aplicación en mechones de cabello. El tinte cosmético elaborado a base de la semilla de Bixa orellana L. al 10% cumple con los parámetros organolépticos y fisicoquímicos, y se mantiene estable por dieciocho meses. El efecto in vitro evidenció que los mechones de cabello presentaron brillo y calidad cosmética, permanencia de tono tras los lavados y transferencia del tinte al tejido.Palabras clave: Bixa orellana L.; tinte cosmético natural; formulación; producto natural. AbstractThe purpose of the study was to develop a natural cosmetic dye based on Bixa orellana L. seed (Bixaceae) and to evaluate its effect in vitro. For the development of the cosmetic dye of the seed of Bixa orellana L. two concentrations of the dye obtained were considered (5% and 10%); then, compatibility studies of the raw materials were carried out with the dye under study. The product was packaged and labeled, organoleptic and physicochemical quality controls were carried out, as well as the shelf life of the formulation was determined through the accelerated and long-term stability studies. Finally, the in vitro effect of the cosmetic dye was determined by its application in hair strands. The cosmetic dye made from the seed of Bixa orellana L. at 10% complies with the organoleptic and physicochemical parameters, and remains stable for eighteen months. The in vitro effect showed that the hair strands showed shine and cosmetic quality, permanence of tone after washing and transfer of the dye to the tissue.

Extraction of Bioactive Compounds from Medicinal Plants and Herbs

“…VOCs can therefore be used as an indicator of tea quality [106,107]. Several VOCs are emitted as a natural defense mechanism against arthropods and pathogen attacks [108,109].…”

Effectiveness of Using Attractants to Control Hypothenemus hampei in Coffea arabica Crop in the Ecuadorian Amazon

“…This species of vital importance for the quality and aroma of its grain, as well as, because of the characteristics of the plant, because in optimal conditions it can be tolerant to drought, to different agronomic management and adapts to different climatic and edaphic conditions beings and the environment in which they develop, especially in regions with greater biodiversity (Ganchozo-Mendoza et al, 2018). This is why in recent years with an organic approach natural enemies and mostly manual techniques are used, aimed at reducing herbivorous insect populations (Mendoza-Cervantes, Guzmán-López, & Salinas-Castro, 2021;Villamar-Torres, Mehdi Jazayeri, Liuba-Delfini, García Cruzaty, & Viot, 2018).…”
