|
|
Objectives: The cosmeceutical activity of Cuacuta japonica Choisy were investigated for cosmetics industrial application.
Methods: Cosmeceutical activities include antioxidant, tyrosinase inhibition effects and nitrite-scavenging ability were examined through the Cuacuta japonica Choisy
Results: The result were obtained as follows : The electron donating ability of water and ethanol extract was 69.5%, 78.3% at 1,000ppm. In SOD-like activity, water extract showed low effect, but ethanol extract scored 63.4% at 1,000ppm. In inhibition activity of xanthine oxidase, water extract showed low effect, which is 27.2% at 500ppm, in contrast to ethanol extract high effect: 99.5% at 500ppm, in nitrite-scavenging ability test, 500ppm of C. japonica Choisy water extract showed the effect of 51.3%, while 500ppm of C. japonica Choisy ethanol extract showed the effect of 72.7%. From the test of inhibitory effect of tyrosinase, both water and ethanol extract showed insufficient inhibitory rate.
Conclusions: According to all the test results that have been given, it is possible that the extract of C. japonica Choisy can be used as a new natural material of the cosmeceutical industry.
