Comparison between the Biological Activities of Leaf and Flower Extracts of Osmanthus fragrans var. aurantiacus and Osmanthus asiaticus Lour. var. fragrans

Purpose: This study aims to verify the biological activities of leaf and flower extracts Osmanthus fragrans var. aurantiacus (OF) asiaticus Lour. (OA), which can be used in cosmetics industry.Methods: Ethanol extraction flowers leaves OF OA was performed determine total polyphenol flavonoid content, scavenging DPPH ABTS radicals, inhibitory effects on elastase tyrosinase, antibacterial effects.Results: The content determined 135.64 μg/mL 80.06 μg/mL, respectively, for 104.11 71.64 OA. found 123.48 86.20 104.07 78.13 At a concentration 500 activity 84.49% 72.08%, 77.12% 68.75%, radical 90.36% 83.15%, 88.14% 80.90%, effect confirmed 58.31% 46.14%, 51.22% 39.26%, tyrosinase were 57.24% 48.12%, 52.15% 41.12%, Upon evaluation, exhibited Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) Malassezia furfur (M. furfur).Conclusion: Among ethanol both species, extract have not only an antioxidant but also high along with effects. Therefore, it is expected potential as cosmetic material.
