Cosmeceutical activities of ethanol extract and its ethyl acetate fraction from coffee silverskin.

Background: Coffee silverskin is a thin film that covers the raw coffee bean. In general, coffee silverskin, which detaches during the coffee roasting process, is disposed as firelighters or dispatched to landfills and can cause serious environmental pollution. The aim of this study was to investigate the feasibility of using coffee silverskin as a functional material in cosmetics by evaluating its bioactive ingredients, antioxidative activity, cytoprotective effect, matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1)-inhibiting effect, and anti-melanogenesis effect.

Anti-Aging Activity of Extract Fermented with DK1 Isolated from Fruit in UVB-Irradiated Human Skin Fibroblasts and Analysis of Principal Components.

The effects of extract fermented with DK1 on UVB-mediated MMP-1 expression and collagen decrease in human skin fibroblasts were determined, and the conversion of its components was also analyzed. Fermentation was performed at varying extract and MRS medium concentrations, and optimal fermentation conditions were selected. extracts showed decreased cytotoxicity after fermentation in the fibroblasts.
