Problems solved by technology

However, most disposable toothpicks are not completely sterilized. They are usually placed in toothpick holders, and may be picked by several people by hand, so disposable toothpicks are actually not safe and hygienic.
[0004] At present, the toothpicks used by people are all the same in thickness. When picking teeth, sometimes they are too thick and cannot pass through the gaps of teeth; sometimes they are too thin, and the thickness cannot be adjusted and selected.
Generally, toothpicks made of bamboo, wood, and plastic have no traces of use after use, and cannot be seen after repeated use, which may cause microbial contamination
[0005] Bamboo and wooden toothpicks are also a waste of bamboo and wood resources
Toothpicks made of plastic and other polymer materials often have a small piece of dental floss, which is not used by Chinese residents; toothpicks with plastic tips are as hard as wooden and bamboo toothpicks, and there is also a hidden danger of puncturing the mouth
Moreover, plastic products are difficult to degrade and will cause environmental pollution

Embodiment 7

[0024] Select fresh dogtail grass stems, select stems with a diameter of 0.05-0.3 cm, cut them into 3-9 cm long, and measure their toughness with the method of hanging weights. Specifically: hold 5 randomly selected stalks of dogtail grass at about 0.5cm from both ends, hang weights in the middle, gradually increase the weight until the stems cannot bear it and bend, and record the weight , The average weight of each five fresh grass stems is about 112.3 grams. Prepare the solution according to the concentration of the solution shown in Table 1, add it to each test tube with a certain amount of dogtail grass stems, set up three groups of parallel experiments for each group, seal it, and observe. Two months later, the dogtail grass was taken out, and the flexibility of the dogtail grass stem was measured.

Embodiment 8

[0030] Select fresh dogtail grass stems, select stems with a diameter of 0.05-0.5 cm, cut them into 3-7 cm long, measure their toughness, and set aside. Prepare the solution according to the solution concentration shown in Table 1, add it to each test tube with a certain number of dogtail stems, set up three parallel experiments for each group, and put each test tube into a high-pressure steam sterilizer to sterilize at 121°C 20min. Remove to cool, and observe. Two months later, the dogtail grass was taken out, and the flexibility of the dogtail grass stem was measured.

Abstract

The invention provides a novel plant toothpick, which is prepared by processing a monocotyledon gramineous plant through a fresh-keeping agent. The invention further provides a preparation method of the novel plant toothpick. The novel plant toothpick disclosed by the invention is simple in structure, easy to prepare, low in cost, convenient, sanitary, adjustable in thickness and easy for use; because of proper hardness and viscosity, users are difficultly injured; in addition, the novel plant toothpick disclosed by the invention is abundant in source and saved in resource and free from environmental pollution.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of daily necessities, in particular to a novel plant toothpick and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] Toothpick is a toothpicking tool used by people, especially middle-aged and elderly people. At present, the commonly used toothpicks are mostly wooden or bamboo rods with thick middle and sharp ends, or plastic toothpicks with sharp ends. The materials are relatively hard and easy to clean. Puncture the gums and lining of the mouth. Moreover, some bamboo and wooden toothpicks have burrs, which can easily scratch the mouth, causing bleeding and forming wounds just like puncturing. If the toothpick is not completely sterilized, countless bacteria and viruses may be hidden. These bacteria and viruses can easily enter the blood circulation system through the wound, causing blood infectious diseases, such as: hepatitis B, hepatitis C, AIDS, etc.; or causing infection of certain streptoco...
