본 연구에서는 인디안구스베리(암라), 찔레나무, 쏘팔메토열매를 5:1:1 비율로 Complex하고 추 출하여 0%, 0.5%, 2.5%, 12.5%, 100%의 NF Complex를 제조하였다. 제조한 NF Complex로 탈색한 시 료 모발에 도포 후 손상된 모발과 비교 · 분석하였다. 개선 효과를 확인하기 위해 인장강도, 광택, 흡광도, 명도를 측정하였다. 측정 결과 인장강도는 증가하였다. 광택은 함량이 100%는 감소하고 나머지 함량은 증 가하였다. 흡광도는 손상모와 대조군과의 차이가 있어 개선 효과가 있는 것으로 보인다. 명도는 변화는 있 으나 미미하였다. NF Complex의 평균값은 유의미한 차이가 있음을 확인하였으며 추후 다양한 추출방법 및 혼합 비율에 따른 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.

The Indian gooseberry (Emblica officinalis), also known as aonla or amla, belongs to the Euphorbiaceae family and is native to India, Sri Lanka, Malaysia, Thailand, and China. This fruit is gaining popularity globally because of its medicinal as well as nutraceutical properties. It is one of India's most integral commercial crops and is recognized for its nutritive, nutraceutical, and therapeutic value. India ranks first in the world in terms of cultivation and production, and it is mostly cultivated in Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Rajasthan, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, and Himachal Pradesh. Over the past decade, the area covered by this fruit has increased to approximately 25,000 ha. The total area under production is approximately 93,000 ha, with an annual production of approximately 1,090 thousand metric tonnes of fruit. Although India has favorable climatic conditions for growing gooseberry, its cultivation and production remain challenging because of pests as well as diseases, which cause considerable damage. In this study, we discuss the current status of Indian gooseberry production, as well as the major insect pests in the gooseberry-growing regions of India.
