Design of the industrial process for the production of shampoo from the saponin of the penco root.

Abstract

Introduction: Currently there is a variety of shampoos, which are made from chemical components, which is a liquid soap to wash your hair, which is used to eliminate sebum from the scalp. Therefore, this product is used to replace these components derived from petroleum, using biodegradable chemical products, which has generated environmental problems, based on the Ecuadorian Technical Standard for Shampoo Surfactant Agents delimited in INEN 051. Objective: Design a process industrial for the production of shampoo from the saponin of the penco root (American agave) for the “natural infusions and cosmetics” factory, Method: in this research, inductive, deductive and experimental methods will be used to compile information and data during the development of this project Results: results obtained are useful for validating the design of the manufacturing process of this product, therefore the following values ​​are obtained: total fat matter 25.10%; anionic surfactants 10.29%; free alkalinity (NaOH) 0%; free acidity 0.23% and pH 7.50. These findings demonstrate that the shampoo meets the specifications of the standard and that no parameter is out of range; Therefore, the process is validated, which indicates that a high quality product with biodegradable characteristics has been obtained Conclusion: A physical-chemical analysis of the biodegradable liquid shampoo created in the laboratory was carried out, according to the Ecuadorian Technical Standard NTE INEN 851: Active tensile agents. Shampoo. Requirements, a standard that establishes the minimum quality standards of the finished product that is suitable for home use after hair washing.
