국내산 왕대 줄기 추출물의 두피 화장료 소재 가능성 탐색

Abstract

Bamboo is a plant belonging to the native Gramineae and has long been popular in Korea and other countries. Among the different types of bamboo is Phyllostachys bambusoides, which is useful for a variety of purposes as it possesses useful properties and has a wide range of beneficial uses such as a pulpwood, timbering, and medicinal usages. The bamboo stem contains cellulose and lignin and contains various polyphenol compounds. It has also been reported that bamboo stems have antioxidant and UV-protective activities, especially in the cosmetic application of bamboo stems. However, no research has been conducted on the scalp cosmetics of the Phyllostachys bambusoides. In this study, antioxidant activity and polyphenol content were investigated to inquire the possibility of Phyllostachys bambusoides being a cosmetic material. Total polyphenol content concentration was calculated to be 500 μg/mL, and antioxidant assays (DPPH, ABTS) were performed resulting in the range of 50-900 μg/mL (IC50). All five fractions showed no cytotoxicity up to the concentration of 100 μg/mL by MTT assay. Therefore, in this study, the antibacterial, antioxidant, and polyphenol contents of domestic bamboo royal extract were analyzed to investigate its potential as a cosmetic material for improving scalp.
