Abstract

Wan Sao Long is a plant in the Zingiberaceae family, scientific name :Amomum biflorum Jack has heart-nourishing properties, anti-flatulent, aromatic essential oils. Therefore, it is applied as a component of water pimple products in various forms such as spray, air conditioning gels or solution. In principle, the preparation of water pimples relies on the Eutectic phenomenon: in which the main elements of the recipe consist of: Volatile oil, Borneol, Camphor, Menthol and Fatty acid.  The procedure for preparing is to mix the substances that will produce Eutectic; Borneol, Camphor and  Menthol, and then mix in the part of the oil such as fatty acids. Stir well using heat, leaving to cool, so add the volatile oil and Wan Soa Long extracted oil. Among the considerations for the recipe is the proportion of substances that will be mixed together to achieve the Eutectic phenomenon, the amount of Wan Sao Long extracted  oil, and the proper heat to make the soluble parts and fatty acids compatible.
