  2. Studies on Cosmetic Whitening Effect and Antibacterial Activities of Dry Persimmon Peel (Diospyros Kaki THUNB.) , OKADA Yoshiharu; FUKAI Satomi; OTSUBO Eiji; NOMURA Masato , 近畿大学工学部研究報告 , 45 , 7 , 15 , 2011
    Summary:[SUMMARY] Persimmon peels (Diospyros Kaki THUNB.) are discarded during the production of dried fruit. The 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol (8) which is component of persimmon peel had high antioxidant activity on the DPPH (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl) radical scavenging assay and SOD (superoxide dismutase) assay. And (8) had higher tyrosinase inhibiting activity than that of arbutin using both L-tyrosine and L-DOPA as substrates. In addition, tyrosinase inhibitting activity of synthesized 2-methoxy-4-vinylphenol glycoside (12a) was studied. (12a) had tyrosinase inhibiting activity, suggesting that (12a) has possibilities for ingredient of cosmetics that are possessed of whitening effect. Moreover, for the creation of high value added product, we composed glycoside of (8) and cell toxicity assay with homosapiens origin alveolus epithelium cell strain A549 was carried on toward for these two kinds of compounds. Under high density condition (100 μg/mL), both of the compounds were not found to present toxic liability. Furthermore, we discovered that extracted hexane of dried persimmon include antibacterial activity (B. subtilis NBRC 3972, S. aureus NBRC13276 and E. coli NBRC3972) and ascertained methyl tridecanoate, 9-methyl hexadecenoate, 9-methyl octadecenoate, methyl tetradecanoate as the main components. Consequently we examined these components as the factor of antiseptic effect.
  3. Chemical constituents of YUZU and LIME essential oils and their antioxidative activities , Shinya Tachibana; Shinichi Tanimoto; Yoshihira Murai; Yoshiyuki Watanabe; Yoshiharu Okada; Masato Nomura , 近畿大学次世代基盤技術研究所報告 , 2 , 45 , 51 , 2011
    Summary:[Abstract] In this examination, antioxidant activities and whitening effects of yuzu(Citrus junos Sieb.ex Tanaka ) and lime(Citrus aurantifolia S.) essencial oils which are widely used in food flavors were studied. As a result, we found out that 1％ to 2％ concentration yuzu essencial oil contains equal antioxidant activity to □-tocopherol which is a substance commercially used as antioxidant. Also, from the result of tyrosinase activity inhibition test, an evaluation test on whitening effects, we found out that 1％ to 2％ concentration lime essencial oil contains higher inhibiting activation than arbutin which is a substance highly used in commercial cosmetics.
