The stability and safety of a product is at the very heart of a business: does the product exhibit the characteristics and behaviour desired or advertized. Wild Orchid Farm is a small rural business in goat breeding which has branched out into manufacturing and selling natural cosmetics made from goat dairy products. They have recently formulated a new product, goat's milk body lotion, of great interest to their consumers, but with one huge drawback: the preservative blend they are using, is formaldehyde-releasing, unacceptable in the field of natural cosmetics with very low consumer acceptance. Natural products with a high concentration of milk, such as made by Wild Orchid Farm, requires special care and testing, as milk is an excellent nutritional source for microbes. The preservative used by Wild Orchid Farm is Liquid Germall Plus, a convenient, which inhibits the growth of both gram-positive and -negative bacteria, yeasts, and moulds. However, one of ts components releases formaldehyde and another was described as "Suspected to be an environmental toxin". This project is to (a) find a Natural preservative for the requirements of microbial inhibition and emulsion stability for the goats' milk body lotion, (b) demonstrate its effectiveness through microbial challenge tests and shelf-life studies and (c) develop and provide guidelines for the production process in order to minimize microbial contamination. Natural preservatives are more organism-specific than synthetic ones. Blending them has the potential to create a collective protective effect against a range of organisms, and the use of blended preservatives is a rapidly growing segment of the natural cosmetics industry. We shall also study the efficacy of paraben-free and formaldehyde-free "man-made" preservatives and their combination with natural preservatives to achieve the product stability desired. The project will have three stages: [1] Selection of preservatives, [2] Emulsion stability tests, [3] Microbial challenge tests, [4] Work complementary to the utilization of new preservatives. Solving the preservative problem for the goat's milk lotion would put the Wild Orchid Farm into a strong position for market growth.

产品的稳定性和安全性是业务的核心：该产品表现出来的 所需或广告的特征和行为。野生兰花农场是山羊的小乡村业务 繁殖已分支为制造和销售由山羊乳制品制成的天然化妆品 产品。他们最近制定了一种新产品，即山羊的牛奶体乳液，对他们的乳液非常感兴趣 消费者，但有一个巨大的缺点：他们正在使用的防腐剂混合物，是甲醛释放的， 在自然化妆品领域无法接受，消费者接受非常低。天然产品高 牛奶的浓度，例如由野生兰花农场制造的，需要特殊的护理和测试，因为牛奶是一种 微生物的出色营养来源。野生兰花农场使用的防腐剂是Liquid Germall Plus， 方便，可以抑制革兰氏阳性和阴性细菌，酵母和霉菌的生长。 然而，一个TS组件之一释放甲醛，另一个被描述为“被怀疑是 环境毒素”。该项目是（a）为微生物的要求找到天然防腐剂 对山羊的牛奶体乳液的抑制和乳液稳定性，（b）通过 微生物挑战测试和保质期研究以及（c）制定并提供生产指南 为了最大程度地减少微生物污染。天然防腐剂比有机体特定于 合成的。混合它们有可能对一系列范围产生集体保护作用 有机体以及混合防腐剂的使用是天然化妆品行业的快速增长。 我们还将研究无羟基苯甲酸酯和无甲醛的“人造”防腐剂及其的功效 与天然防腐剂结合使用，以达到所需的产品稳定性。该项目将有三个 阶段：[1]选择防腐剂，[2]乳液稳定性测试，[3]微生物挑战测试，[4]工作 补充新的防腐剂。解决山羊牛奶的防腐剂问题 乳液将使野生兰花农场对市场增长有很大的地位。
