The Postponement

The physical-chemical and sensory properties are elements to be taken into account during the development of cosmetics. Moisturizers represent one of the most important classes of personal care products and often appear in a wide range of different color options. This study aimed to develop a moisturizer in the form of gel-cream and explore the options of metallized colors through sensory analysis. According to the results obtained, it was possible to observe that the type of pigment affected the judges’ perception showing that the influence of this component should not be disregarded in the postponement of new formulations. It is possible to infer that a consumer’s reaction to a cosmetic is not only based on its effectiveness, but also on the way in which its physical characteristics are perceived, including color, appearance, skin sensation and smell.

Usage Patterns

Reliable data regarding the usage patterns of personal care products (PCPs) are needed to determine the health risks posed by the ingredients of these products such as parabens, phthalates, and bisphenol A. There are no published data regarding the consumption patterns of PCPs in the Middle East in general and in Saudi Arabia in particular. To fill this gap, this study aimed to assess important factors such as the percentage of users and the frequency of use and co-use of twenty-three cosmetic and PCPs among the female population in Saudi Arabia. Additionally, this study aimed to assess the common cosmetic-related adverse events among the participants. The studied products included general hygiene, hair care, skin care, makeup, fragrances, and other products. The data were collected from 709 female participants of different age groups through a digital questionnaire. It was found that eighteen of the investigated products are consumed by at least 50% of the respondents. The frequency of use of PCPs varied over a wide range. Cosmetic-related adverse events were experienced by 16.1% of the participants. Use frequencies of many hygiene and makeup products were correlated with each other. This study provides, for the first time, baseline data on the usage patterns of a large number of widely consumed PCPs among female population pertaining to several sociodemographic strata. Such information is crucial for exposure and risk assessment and also needed for updating the current knowledge on usage of PCPs in Saudi Arabia.

With the advent of better detection, more micro-contaminants are being found in water. Many of these micro-contaminants come from medical therapies and personal care products. These chemicals are comprised of a wide-range of substances including pharmaceuticals, dietary supplements, veterinary drugs, fragrances, hair care products, body lotions, oral care, and cosmetics. Many of these products enhance our quality of life and in some cases, provide life-saving therapies. But, they come with an environmental cost. Scientific research has found sub-therapeutic levels of many of these chemicals in our waterways and in our finished drinking water, causing concern about the potential environmental and public health impacts associated with very low, chronic exposure. As tailored therapies and personal care products are developed, it is crucial to consider how to control emerging contaminants from medical therapies and personal care products. Specific actions and policies can be implemented now by adopting upstream approaches to prevent waste and decrease environmental exposures.

The functional foods present many health benefits besides their nutritional values pertinent to their chemical composition. They can play an important role on reducing the risk of chronic-degenerative diseases, like cancer, diabetes and others. The prebiotics are non-digestive fibers by the human body, but they increase the intestinal bacterial flora. Among these prebiotics are the fructooligosaccharides. This research aims to evaluate the physical-chemical, microbiological and sensory properties of fructooligosaccharides enriched yogurt. Sensory analysis was performed with 50 non-trained panelists using a structured nine point Hedonic scale for acceptance and buying intention. Microbiological (thermo-tolerant coliforms and salmonella sp/25g) and physical-chemical analyses (pH, titratable acidity expressed as, lactic acid concentration, and soluble solids as °Brix) were carried out in triplicate. All results were submitted to ANOVA and Tukey Test at 5 % of significance to verify the interaction between the averages. The acceptance was 7.9 indicating that product is according to "Liked very much" parameter. The purchase intention response showed 34% of panelists declaring that they would buy the yogurt if they could. The microbiological analysis were negative for thermo-tolerant coliforms and samonella sp./25g. Physical-chemical results were according to other similar products with average of pH 4.45, titratable acidity 0.82 g lactic acid/100 mL, and 22º Brix. Physical-chemical, microbiological and sensory analysis are in accordance to the Brazilian legislation.

Abstract Oleaster (Elaeagnus angustifolia L.) is a fruit with special nutraceutical value which grows under a wide range of climatic conditions in Europe and Asia. In the present study, the effects of oleaster flour (15%, 30% and 45%) and active gluten at (0 and 3%) on the physical, chemical and sensory properties of sponge cakes were assessed. The best sample was selected based on the qualitative properties and compared with the control with respect to the staling rate and nutritional aspects. In order to decrease the calories, the sucrose content of the selected sample was replaced with potassium acesulfame and isomalt at the levels of 30%, 50% and 70%. Oleaster flour increased the density but decreased the hardness and cohesiveness of the cake. Active gluten decreased the density and hardness but increased the cohesiveness and springiness. Considering the qualitative properties of the sponge cakes, the sample containing 30% oleaster flour and 3% gluten (30 OFG) was selected as the best. Replacement of the sucrose in 30 OFG increased the hardness, density, redness and yellowness of the crumb. With 30% sucrose replacement, the quality of the product was adequately maintained. The use of oleaster significantly increased the calcium, potassium, crude fibre, fat and total phenolic compound contents of the sponge cakes as compared to the control. The sample containing 30% oleaster flour and 3% gluten with 30% sucrose replacement showed appropriate physicochemical, textural and sensory properties.

The use of cosmetics and personal care products is increasing worldwide. Their high matrix complexity, together with the wide range of products currently marketed under different forms imply a challenge for their analysis, most of them requiring a sample pre-treatment step before analysis. Classical sample preparation methodologies involve large amounts of organic solvents as well as multiple steps resulting in large time consumption. Therefore, in recent years, the trends have been moved towards the development of simple, sustainable, and environmentally friendly methodologies in two ways: (i) the miniaturization of conventional procedures allowing a reduction in the consumption of solvents and reagents; and (ii) the development and application of sorbent- and liquid-based microextraction technologies to obtain a high analyte enrichment, avoiding or significantly reducing the use of organic solvents. This review provides an overview of analytical methodology during the last ten years, placing special emphasis on sample preparation to analyse cosmetics and personal care products. The use of liquid–liquid and solid–liquid extraction (LLE, SLE), ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE), solid-phase extraction (SPE), pressurized liquid extraction (PLE), matrix solid-phase extraction (MSPD), and liquid- and sorbent-based microextraction techniques will be reviewed. The most recent advances and future trends including the development of new materials and green solvents will be also addressed.
