Characterization of plum oil and its use in cosmetics
Kaňovská, Zuzana ; Němcová, Andrea (referee) ; Szotkowski, Martin (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis was to characterize plum kernel oil and to explore its possible use in the cosmetics industry. The theoretical part of the thesis is a research on the properties of vegetable oils in general, plum kernel oil and other kernel oils. In the experimental part, the oil was characterized in terms of the profile of fatty acids, phenolic compounds and tocopherols. Body lotion was also prepared, containing plum kernel oil, for which hydration and barrier properties were determined. Pure plum kernel oil and body lotion were tested for antimicrobial activity.
