nisms. Therefore it is thought that the difference of removal of protein when
washed with the carbon dioxide warm water instead of the tap water is seen as
shown from the ninhydrin reaction.
Conclusions
The effect of bicarbonate bubbles on human body is assessed using the following
methods: taking into the bubble and eliminate action of lipid, observation of
separation of bubble from skin surface, and comparison of protein with tap water
using ninhydrin reaction.
As a result, it has been shown that the cleaning effect of artificial bicarbonate
warm water is achieved by the mechanism of the taking lipid into the bubble and
the elimination, adsorption force between skin surface and bubble and buoyancy
effect of bubbles resulting from growth and merging of bubbles at skin surface.
