Antioxidant and Antimicrobial Effect of Rosemary, Parsley, Thyme, Chive, and Dill Extracts

Purpose: This study aims to confirm the potential of rosemary, parsley, thyme, chive, and dill extracts as natural antimicrobial agents incense cosmetic materials by evaluating antioxidation effects on skin related microorganisms.Methods: Rosemary, were extracted with 70% ethanol used a sample. Antioxidant measured at total polyphenol flavonoid content, 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical, 2,2'-azinobis-3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulphonic acid (ABTS) radical scavenging superoxide dismutase (SOD)-like activity effect. And for <i>Staphylococcus epidermidis</i>, <i>Propionibacterium acnes</i>, <i>Corynebacterium xerosis</i>, <i>Malassezia furfur</i>, <i>Trichophyton mentagrophytes</i> skin, effect was using paper disc method.Results: Among extracts, flavonoids found be high in rosemary parsley extracts. DPPH ABS SOD-like confirmed order rosemary>parsley>thyme> chives>dill. As result measuring concentration 5 mg/mL, <i>S. epidermidis</i> parsley=rosemary=thyme>chive=dill, <i>P. acnes</i> rosemary>parsley>dill>thyme=chive, <i>C. xerosis</i> rosemary>parsley>dill>thyme=chives, <i>M. furfur</i> rosemary>parsley>dill>chives>thyme, <i>T. rosemary>parsley>chives>dill>thyme.Conclusion: have antioxidant effects, confirming their materials.
