Formulação de dentitrício contendo extrato de beterraba microencapsulado.

Abstract

Toothpaste, in general terms, are products aimed at oral hygiene and asepsis, are considered excellent vehicles for incorporation of various assets that offer special purpose benefits such as antiplatelet, anti-caries, anti-calculus, whitening and antiseptic. But despite the variety of these products, there is a shortage on the market when it comes to formulations with antioxidant properties for disease treatments. In recent years, the search for natural products has been increasing gradually, which has motivated the research in the development of these products. In view of this, the beet has been gaining more prominence regarding its antioxidant potential, recent studies associate this property to the betalaains present in its composition, however its use is limited due to its instability. Therefore, this work aimed to develop a dentifrice containing microencapsulated beet extract in adsorption dry emulsion system, performing quality control from organoleptic and physicochemical analyzes, comparing them with commercial dentifrices; The viability of the microencapsulation of the extract and the viability of its incorporation in the formulations were analyzed by UV / VIS spectrophotometer. In the organoleptic and physicochemical quality control analyzes, F1 and F2 were within the established standards for dentifrices, and values close to the commercial ones. With this study it was observed that the adsorption dry emulsion technique is a viable alternative for beet extract microencapsulation; In addition, it was possible to incorporate this system into a toothpaste, which makes this product innovative, low cost and easy to obtain. Therefore, as a perspective, new analyzes should be performed to evaluate the antioxidant activity of the extract and quality control regarding its stability.
