Abstract
In the recent years, marine natural compounds are so useful in the health and cosmetics. The small fish is one of the sources for nutritional value and biological activities, but due to their small size, they are not suitable for frying, boiling and etc. Benthosema pterotum was sampled from Oman sea. Oil extraction was performed by Blight and Dyer. First, fatty acids were separated with urea digestion and they were identified with gas chromatography. Then, in order to prepare the cream and soap, the cosmetic bases of Farabi Company were used, and finally measured moisture of skin with coroniometer. Then evaluated the quality of heavy metal oils of mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic, total count of of microorganisms, bacterial count Staphylococcus aureus, coliform count, Escherichia coli count were examined soaps made from mycotofide The prepared soap contained much less heavy metals than the specified limit, and since the optimal oil of mycotofide fish contained eicosapentaenoic acid, docosahexaenoic acid and arachidonic acid, the soap contained 5% oil increased the skin moisture content to 0.81%. Therefore, due to the cosmetic and hygienic value of mycotofide fish oil, it can be used in the preparation of moisturizing and rejuvenating cosmetic products. It is hoped that considering the nutritional and biological activiteis of these small fish, after eliminating the disadvantages of commercially extracted oils, it has taken effective steps to produce non-oil food and cosmetic products.
