Resumo
Polímeros são amplamente utilizados em formulações cosméticas devido à sua multifuncionalidade. Portanto, selecionar o polímero adequado e determinar sua concentração ideal são cruciais para o desenvolvimento cosmético. A avaliação da textura é fundamental nesse processo, e compreender a influência de variáveis operacionais, como velocidade durante medições, é essencial para uma caracterização precisa. Nesse contexto, o estudo teve como objetivo analisar o perfil de textura e as propriedades sensoriais de formulações em gel contendo polímeros sintéticos e naturais em diferentes concentrações, utilizando o Texture Analyzer TA.XT/Plus e o Sensorimeter SR 100, além de correlacionar ambas as análises. Os resultados mostraram correlação entre as medições instrumentais e a variável velocidade nos parâmetros de textura, como firmeza, consistência, coesão e viscosidade. Além disso, polímeros obtidos de fontes naturais não influenciaram a espalhabilidade na análise sensorial, mesmo em concentrações maiores. Os polímeros sintéticos alteraram a espalhabilidade e a pegajosidade com o aumento da concentração. Esses resultados enfatizam a importância da compreensão das estruturas químicas dos polímeros e das redes poliméricas no desenvolvimento de formulações estáveis e eficazes. Por fim, polímeros naturais apresentaram valores inferiores nos parâmetros de textura, mas proporcionaram melhores propriedades sensoriais, demonstrando potencial para aumentar a satisfação do consumidor com produtos cosméticos.
Polymers are widely used in cosmetic formulations due to their multifunctionality. Therefore, selecting the appropriate polymer and determining its optimal concentration is crucial for cosmetic development. Texture evaluation plays a key role in this process, and understanding the influence of operational variables, such as speed during measurements, is essential for accurate characterization. In this context, the study aimed to analyze the texture profile and sensory properties of gel formulations containing synthetic and natural polymers at different concentrations using Texture Analyzer TA.XT/Plus® and Sensorimeter® SR 100, as well as correlating both analyses. Results showed a correlation between the instrumental measurements and the speed variable in the texture parameters such as firmness, consistency, cohesiveness, and viscosity. Furthermore, polymers obtained from natural sources did not influence the spreadability in the sensory analysis, even at higher concentrations. The synthetic polymers altered spreadability and stickiness with increasing concentration. These findings emphasize the importance of understanding polymer chemical structures and polymeric networks in designing stable and effective formulations. Finally, natural polymers exhibited lower values for texture parameters but provided better sensory properties, demonstrating their potential to increase consumer satisfaction with cosmetic products
