Mosquito repellent composition, preparation method and application thereof

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

The present invention belongs to a mosquito repellent technical field, and specifically relates to a mosquito repellent composition, preparation method and application thereof.

BACKGROUND TECHNOLOGY

Mosquitoes spread a variety of mosquito-borne diseases, which endanger human health, such as malaria, yellow fever, dengue fever, Western equine encephalitis, Japanese encephalitis, West Nile virus disease, etc. At present, there are about 3,500 mosquitoes and their subtypes in the world. Species of the most common mosquitoes are Aedes, Culex and Anopheles. People are constantly developing and researching on corresponding mosquito repellent products. Mosquito coils are the oldest natural medicine to repel mosquitoes. As early as the Southern Song Dynasty, mosquito repellent incense sticks made of Chinese medicine appeared. The effective ingredient in modern mosquito coils is pyrethrin, which is effective in repelling mosquitoes. After the mosquito coil is ignited, the pyrethrin in the mosquito coil volatilizes along with the smoke and spreads in the indoor air, paralyzing the mosquito's nerves, so the mosquitoes fall to the ground and die, or run away, thereby repelling the mosquitoes. The mosquito repellent effect of electric mosquito incense is also good, generally lasting 6-8 hours. The mosquito repellent principle of electric mosquito coils is to inhale pyrethrum and other mosquito repelling ingredients into the mosquito mats, and evaporate the same after heating. Liquid electric mosquito coils utilize capillary principle to continuously heat and release insecticide substances. But both electric mosquito coils and liquid electric mosquito coils contain organic compounds that are harmful to the human body. If used in a confined room, adverse reactions may occur. The main component of the anti-mosquito liquid is diethyltoluamide (DEET), and principle thereof is to directly act on the tactile organs and chemoreceptors of mosquitoes to drive away mosquitoes. In addition, if one has been bitten by mosquitoes, the existing mosquito repellent products on the market have poor anti-itching effects.

At present, most of mosquito repellent products commercially available contain chemical ingredients such as DEET and methothrin etc., and upon long term use adverse effects may be done to human health and for products containing natural plant compositions currently available, mosquito repellent durations of are short, itching relieving effects poor, and functions are quite single.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Targeting at deficiencies of the prior art, a purpose of the present invention is to provide a mosquito repellent composition, preparation method and application thereof. The mosquito repellent composition provided in the present invention doesn't contain chemical ingredients such as DEET and methothrin etc., and works in combination with natural plant essence oil, which is highly safe, free from irritation, allergic reactions and other side effects, and can be used to repel mosquitoes safely, gently and is suitable for long term use. Furthermore, the mosquito repellent composition provided in the present invention provides a good mosquito repelling effect, a long mosquito repelling time, and obvious antipruritic effects after mosquito bites.

A mosquito repellent composition, comprises following ingredients and mass fractions thereof:

Composite plant oil 7-10 parts, gromwell root extracts 3-5 parts, vitex rotundifolia extracts 1-3 parts, sustained release agents 1-2 parts, emulsifying agents 2-4 parts, stabilizing agents 0.1-0.3 part, and water 165-182 parts.

Further, the mosquito repellent composition comprises following ingredients and mass fractions thereof:

Further, the composite plant oil is made from carapa guianensis seed oil and bergamot orange oil at a mass ratio of 4-6:3-5.

Further, the composite plant oil is made from carapa guianensis seed oil and bergamot orange oil at a mass ratio of 5:4.

Further, a preparation method of the gromwell root extracts is:

(1) Grinding gromwell roots, filtering with a 50-80-mesh filter, and getting coarse gromwell root powder;
(2) Freezing processing the coarse gromwell root powder obtained in step (1) at a freezing temperature of 0-4° C. for 4-6h and getting frozen coarse gromwell root powder;
(3) Grinding the frozen coarse gromwell root powder obtained in step (2), filtering with a 100-150-mesh filter and getting fine gromwell root powder; and
(4) Putting the fine gromwell root powder obtained in step (3) to a container, adding ethanol water solution with a volume fraction of 95% with a mass of 8-15 times of a mass of the fine gromwell root powder, ultrasonic extracting with an ultrasonic power of 100-200 W for 7-12 min, filtering, filtrate decompression and condensation until no ethanol flavor is perceived, and getting the gromwell root extracts.

Further, the sustained release agents are made from nano-meter attapulgite, polyvinyl alcohol and chitosan oligosaccharide at a mass ratio of 1-2:5-7:12-15.

Further still, the sustained release agents are made from nano-meter attapulgite, polyvinyl alcohol and chitosan oligosaccharide at a mass ratio of 2:6:13.

Further, a grain size of the nano-meter attapulgite is 10-30 nm.

Further still, a grain size of the nano-meter attapulgite is 20 nm.

Still further, the emulsifying agents are made from alkyl glycoside and cetearyl glucoside at a mass ratio of 2-3:5-8.

Still further, the emulsifying agents are made from alkyl glycoside and cetearyl glucoside at a mass ratio of 3:7.

Another purpose of the present invention is to provide a preparation method of the mosquito repelling composition, in following steps:

S1: mixing the composite plant oil and the emulsifying agents, stirring evenly and getting a mixture A;

S2: adding water into the stabilizing agents, stirring until fully dissolved, adding the sustained release agents, stirring evenly and getting a mixture B; and

S3: at a mixing rate of 200r/min, adding the mixture A obtained in step 51 to the mixture B obtained in step S2, stirring for 30 min, adding the gromwell root extracts and the vitex rotundifolia extracts, continuing stirring for 30 min, and the mosquito repellent composition can be got.

The sustained release agents made from nano-meter attapulgite, polyvinyl alcohol and chitosan oligosaccharide at a predetermined mass ratio can control a volatilization rate of the composite plant oil, so that the product can play a mosquito repellent role for a longer time. By a process of grinding the gromwell root to be coarse gromwell root powder, freezing processing the coarse gromwell root powder and grinding the frozen coarse gromwell root powder, active ingredients of gromwell root can be dissolved out effectively during ultrasonic extraction and itching relieving and antioncotic effects of the gromwell root extracts can be improved.
