소엽 (Perilla frutescens var. acuta)의 화장품 천연소재 응용을 위한 생리활성 기능 검증

A Study on the Physiological Activities Function for Utilization of Cosmetics Natural Materials of Perilla frutescens var. acuta.

&nbsp;&nbsp;In this study, in order to apply Perilla frutescens which is a kind of herb cultivated in Korea to the natural materials of cosmetics, the Perilla frutescens&quot;s physiological activities function in enzymology and its antibacterial activity against skin resident flora were researched.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;As a result of testing electron donating ability, at over 500ppm both water and ethanol extracts of Perilla frutescens showed relatively high donating ability by more than 70%. And as a result of measuring SOD like activity, both water and ethanol extracts showed the effect by more than 80% at 5,000ppm and the like activity showed dose dependent increase. From the test of inhibitory effect of tyrosinase, both water and ethanol extracts showed insufficient inhibitory rate. As a result of antibacterial activity test, water extract showed clear zone against staphylococcus epidermidis as 9.3mm at 0.5mg/disc and 11.8mm at 1mg/disc and ethanol extract showed clear zone of 11.6mm at 1mg/disc.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;From the above results, it was confirmed that Perilla frutescens being a kind of herb has a sufficient potentiality applying itself to industry and also the Perilla frutescens can be utilized as cosmetics natural materials.
