METHOD

A method of measuring the harshness of a surfactant, comprising the steps of: i) preparing a solid protein-dye complex comprising: a) a protein, which is a non-denatured corn protein and which is soluble in aqueous alcohol; and b) a protein binding dye, which is specific to the protein (a); by disso...

Zusammenfassung:A method of measuring the harshness of a surfactant, comprising the steps of: i) preparing a solid protein-dye complex comprising: a) a protein, which is a non-denatured corn protein and which is soluble in aqueous alcohol; and b) a protein binding dye, which is specific to the protein (a); by dissolving a) and b) in aqueous alcohol to form a solution of protein-dye complex; and removing the aqueous alcohol to form a solid protein-dye complex; and ii) providing an aqueous solution of surfactant and taking a first colour measurement, iii) adding the solid protein-dye complex to the aqueous solution of surfactant, taking a second colour measurement and measuring the change in colour between the first colour measurement and the second colour measurement; and iv) matching the change in colour with a reference scale; provides a quick and accurate way of assessing surfactant harshness towards protein, that can be easily carried out under non-laboratory conditions and enables suitable product recommendations to be made. La presente invención se refiere a un método para medir la dureza de un tensoactivo, caracterizado porque comprende los pasos de: 1) preparar un complejo sólido de proteína-colorante que comprende: a) una proteína, que es una proteína de maíz no desnaturalizada y que es soluble en alcohol acuoso; y b) un colorante de unión a proteínas, que es específico a la proteína (a); al disolver a) y b) en alcohol acuoso para formar una solución de proteína-colorante; y retirar el alcohol acuoso para formar un complejo sólido de proteína-colorante; y ii) proporcionar una solución acuosa de tensoactivo y tomar una primera medición de color; iii) agregar el complejo sólido de proteína-colorante a la solución de tensoactivo, tomar una segunda medición de color y medir el cambio de color entre la primera medición de color y la segunda de color; y iv) hacer coincidir el cambio de color con una escala de referencia.
