Desenvolvimento e caracterização físicoquímica de sabonete ecológico à base de iogurte de baru

Abstract

One of the largest biomes in Brazil is the cerrado, which contains various fruits and nuts with medicinal properties used by the local population. The baru nut has characteristic sensory characteristics and is rich in phenolic compounds that have anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial actions. Yogurt is rich in fat and lactic acid, which in the cosmetics industry is used to revitalize and increase skin immunity. The objective of this research was to develop and characterize the ecological baru yogurt soap (Dipteryx alata Vog) (using tests of cracking, pH, mass loss, foaming, softening, average weight and sensory characteristics. It is possible to develop a quality product with chestnuts from the cerrado and yogurt, the pH of the baru yogurt soap presented within the parameters of the legislation and the quality tests found soft, uniform bars without the formation of lumps, but with high water absorption, for the commercial use and improvements needed in this regard.
