생약추출물과 난단백질을 함유한 비누의 항산화 및 항균효과

This study was carried out to evaluate the an tioxidative and antimicrobial activity of the soap con tain ing the medicinal plant extracts, Glycyrrhiza globra L .var glandulifera Regel et Zucc, Cinnamamum cassia Blume, Lycium chinense Miller, Schizandra chinenesis Baillon, Rehm annia glutinosa Liboch, Euphoria longana steud, Angelica polymorpha Max, Chrysanthermum morifolium Ram, Morus alba Linne, and also egg white proteins. Antioxidative activity of the soap on the peroxidation of egg yolk lecithin in aqueous system was increased with its concentration. The soap showed strong growth inhibitory and bactericidal effect against several m ajor pathogenic m icroorganisms on human skins. At the concentration of 0.04% the soap showed growth inhibitory effect against Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Escherichia coli and at 0.1% against Staphylococcus aureus. The soap showed strong growth inhibitory and bactericidal effect on all 5 species of the microorganisms tested and the activity was increased with the concentration of soap. As the results, the medicinal plant extracts were thought to be proper natural antioxidative and antimicrobial sources for the ap plication of skin care soap added together with egg protein.
