MASK FOR MOISTURIZING SKIN AND BODY MADE FROM COLD-PRESSED PASTE OF PEANUTS (Arachis hypogaea L.)

Abstract

There are food and plant wastes that cause environmental pollution in many countries around the world. Waste materials are one of the most unconscious uses. With the rapid increase in production, consumption and insensitive communities, industrialization and increasing population cause an intense increase in waste. In order to ensure environmental order and balance, waste must be evaluated and reused in recycling facilities. Peanut (Arachis hypogaea L.) is one of the important oilseed plants and is also considered a protein source in many countries. According to current scientific reports it is known that peanuts have many biological activities such as anti-cancer, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. Peanut pulp can be used as a raw material source in the production of cellulose fiber products and it can be used in food products, agricultural activities, industry and cosmetics. It is especially common in the recycling field to use it as mulch for plant roots, as natural fertilizer and as chipboard in the field of furniture. In our study, cold-pressed peanut pulp was transformed into products and products with high added value with enriched formulations.
