Hypothesis
This study assesses the antioxidant and whitening effects of organic extracts from different chrysanthemum cultivars.
Conclusion
The BJ cultivar of chrysanthemum exhibits the strongest antioxidant capacity and whitening effects among the tested cultivars.
Supporting Evidence
- The BJ cultivar extract exhibited strong antioxidant capacity and superior whitening effects.
- Correlation analysis indicated significant relationships between total flavonoid content and antioxidant activity.
- Untargeted metabolomic analysis identified 22 compounds potentially related to antioxidant and whitening effects.
Takeaway
This study found that extracts from certain types of chrysanthemums can help make skin lighter and protect it from damage.
Methodology
The study used vacuum freeze drying and ultrasound-assisted ethanol extraction to prepare chrysanthemum extracts, followed by various assays to evaluate their antioxidant and whitening effects.
Limitations
The study was limited to specific chrysanthemum cultivars grown under particular conditions, which may affect the generalizability of the results.
