Abstract

Medicinal plants used in cosmetology are subject to mandatory quality control. For this purpose, various physical and chemical methods of study are most widely used. Infrared spectroscopy for the first time conducted a comparative study of cosmetic gels based on mint infusions (Mentha piperita), thyme (Thymus serpyllum) and celandine (Chelidonii Herba). The results of medium-wave spectroscopy revealed peaks of infrared absorption in different wavelength ranges for cosmetic gels obtained on the basis of infusions of different medicinal plants. Thus, for a gel based on thyme infusion they amounted to 2900.41; 2830.12; 2123.51; 1223.12 cm–1; celandine – 3527.17; 2879.64; 2822.89; 1449.25; 1393.66; 1290.91; 1116.51; 1083.03 cm–1; mint – 3863.60; 3724.47; 2904.68; 2835.10; 1453.00; 1271.44; 1111.11; 1102.16; 1034.30 cm–1. Within the infrared spectrum of cosmetic gels the obtained data allowed identifying the stretching band of carbonyl, hydroxyl, carboxyl, methyl, ether, acetal groups, compounds having aromatic ring, heterocyclic rings, in particular pyridine and quinolinic rings; mineral substances containing mainly phosphorus and sulfur compounds These groups and compounds are typical for some chemical compounds having biological effects (terpenoids, carotenoids, alkaloids, flavonoids, vitamins, acetylsalicylic, ursolic, oleanolic and other organic acids and compounds). The results of the study can be used as reference identification IR spectra for rapid identification of cosmetic gels based on infusions of medicinal plants, while the use of Fourier IR spectroscopy for studying the chemical composition of cosmetic gels based on infusions of medicinal plants can be of wide practical importance as a method of rapid analysis of cosmetic gels.
