PRELIMINARY STUDY ON FORMULATION AND BASIC EVALUATION OF COCONUT ENZYME - BASED DISHWASHING LIQUID

Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan. Nguyen Thi Huong Giang, Nguyen Thi Ngoc Trang, Le My Phuong, Bui Pham Phuong Thanh. Nguyen Thi Xuan Hanh
Currently, chemical dishwashing liquids are among the most commonly used cleaning products in households due to their convenience, rapid effectiveness, and low cost. Although chemical dishwashing liquids provide significant cleaning efficiency, they pose many potential risks to human health and the environment, particularly aquatic environments. This is because industrial dishwashing liquids are mostly formulated from water combined with various chemical components such as LAS, SLS, NaOH, SLES, MgSO₄, NH₄Cl, acids, alkalis, fragrances, formaldehyde, and the antibacterial agent triclosan (Adelliya, 2021). These substances can cause numerous health problems with frequent exposure, including the risk of irritant dermatitis. Moreover, if not thoroughly rinsed off, residues may remain on dishes and enter the body, leading to serious health impacts on users, especially pregnant homemakers. In addition, when discharged into the environment, industrial dishwashing liquids contribute to environmental pollution and harm aquatic organisms (Hong-Yan et al., 2009). Given these concerns, the replacement of industrial dishwashing liquids with environmentally friendly alternatives has become increasingly necessary. The fermentation of coconut is a complex biological process in which microorganisms convert sugars in coconut water into products such as alcohols, organic acids, and flavor compounds. Coconut enzyme is fermented coconut water produced by a microbial system. Due to its organic acid content and synergistic combination with natural ingredients—including coconut ash water (for odor removal), coconut essential oil extract (cocamidopropyl betaine source), coco glucoside (foaming agent), guar gum (thickener), baking soda (NaHCO₃), and table salt (NaCl)—the formulation offers effective cleaning, skin moisturization, and safety for children and individuals with sensitive skin.
