Description

本発明は、界面活性剤、油性成分、及び水を含む安定な水中油型乳化組成物及びその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a stable oil-in-water emulsion composition containing a surfactant, an oil component, and water, and a method for producing the same.

非イオン乳化剤/油/水系の乳化組成物は、曇点以下の限られた温度範囲において、水相中へ油が見かけ上溶解度以上に溶解する状態である可溶化状態を形成することが知られている。このため、系を可溶化状態で一定時間保持してから冷却を行うと、油性成分の含有量が多く、油滴の平均粒径が微細な乳化組成物が得られることが知られている(非特許文献1)。   It is known that a nonionic emulsifier / oil / water emulsion composition forms a solubilized state in which the oil is apparently dissolved in the aqueous phase at a solubility higher than the solubility in a limited temperature range below the cloud point. ing. For this reason, it is known that when the system is kept in a solubilized state for a certain period of time and then cooled, an emulsion composition having a large oil component content and a fine average particle diameter of oil droplets can be obtained ( Non-patent document 1).

しかしながら、得られた乳化組成物を高温で保存すると、油滴の平均粒径が増大したり、非イオン乳化剤が析出する等の現象が起こり、安定な乳化組成物を得ることができないという問題があった。   However, when the obtained emulsified composition is stored at a high temperature, there is a problem that the average particle size of the oil droplets increases or a nonionic emulsifier is precipitated, and a stable emulsified composition cannot be obtained. there were.

一方、近年、非イオン性基と中和可能な官能基を持つ乳化剤が提案されている(特許文献1)。しかしながら、中和可能な官能基については予め部分的に中和されたものが開示されているのみであり、かかる乳化剤を油性成分の乳化に用いた場合、油滴の平均粒径が微細な乳化組成物を得ることは困難であった。

However, only partially neutralized functional groups are disclosed in advance, and when such an emulsifier is used for emulsification of oily components, the average particle size of oil droplets is finely emulsified. It was difficult to obtain a composition.

That is, a 5% by weight aqueous solution of a surfactant is kept at a constant temperature for 30 minutes to observe whether the surfactant is insolubilized from the solution. The temperature at which the surfactant began to become insoluble when the temperature was raised was taken as the cloud point.

<可溶化状態確認条件>
系が可溶化状態であることは、以下の方法に従って確認した。すなわち、界面活性剤、油性成分、水の混合溶液を一定の温度で10分間保持し、溶液の濁度が変化するかを観察する。系が可溶化状態ではないときには溶液の濁度が上昇するため、溶液の濁度が変化しなかったときに系は可溶化状態であるとした。
<Solubilization condition confirmation conditions>
It was confirmed according to the following method that the system was in a solubilized state. That is, a mixed solution of a surfactant, an oil component, and water is held at a constant temperature for 10 minutes to observe whether the turbidity of the solution changes. Since the turbidity of the solution increases when the system is not in the solubilized state, the system is said to be in the solubilized state when the turbidity of the solution does not change.
