센텔라 아시아티카 정량추출물을 함유한 Water in Oil in Water (W<sub>1</sub>/O/W<sub>2</sub>) 에멀젼 제조에 관한 연구

Abstract

Titrated extract of Centella asiatica (TECA), which is poorly soluble in water is well known for wound healing and anti wrinkle agent. This study was conducted to find the optimum condition for the preparation of water in oil in water (W1/O/W2) emulsion containing TECA. Solubility of TECA were measured by UV spectrophotometer. 2.55 g of TECA was dissolved in solution composed of dipropylene glycol (40.0 g), ethanol (20.0 g), and water (10.0 g). Factors affecting stability of the emulsions (W1/O, W1/O/W2) was investigated. The optimum conditions for the preparation of W1/O emulsion was composed of dipropylene glycol : ethanol : water : TECA in a weight ratio of 40.0 : 20.0 : 10.0 : 2.5 for water phase and squalane : cetyl PEG/PPG-10/1 dimethicone : cetearyl alcohol in a weight ratio of 22.5 : 4.0 : 2.5 for oil phase. The optimum conditions for the preparation of W1/O/W2 multiple emulsion was composed of water : W1/O emulsion : polysorbate 80 : carbomer : triethanolamine in a weight ratio of 55.8 : 40.0 : 4.0 : 0.1 : 0.1.
