The purpose of this study was to study the technology for manufacturing medical pencils with walnut oil.
Materials and methods. Walnut oil, beeswax, paraffin, cocoa butter, anhydrous lanolin, macrogol-400, farnesol, and “Maracuja” flavoring were used for the study. Technological, organoleptic, and physical methods were used in the work.
Results and discussion. During experimental studies, samples of medical pencils with walnut oil were obtained by the pouring method. The products produced were cream-colored, with a pleasant odor, and were characterized by a homogeneous structure, smooth surface, uniform distribution of the active component in the base, and a dense consistency without signs of delamination, which indicated their technological stability and high quality.
Conclusions. The technology for manufacturing medical pencils with walnut oil has been developed, an algorithm for manufacturing medical pencils in laboratory conditions and a technological scheme for production in industrial conditions have been proposed.
