Resumo: In this study, leftover roots of Sansing green onions grown without toxic chemicals in Sansing Township, Ilan County, Taiwan were used as a raw material of skincare products. The raw material was extracted from the green onion roots by ultrasound in a low-temperature, safe and pollution-free environment. We hope to develop cleansers and other facial care products made of this natural, environmentally friendly, safe and affordable raw material so that people with sensitive skin can also use these products. We also hope that this study can contribute to circular economy and achieve the goal of green innovation by recycling the leftover roots. In terms of anti-oxidation, the DPPH free radical scavenging ability of 2.5 mg/mL green onion root extract was equivalent to 98% of that of 1 mg/mL BHT; the Fe2+ chelating ability was equivalent to 87.0% of that of 0.02 mg/mL EDTA; the superoxide anions scavenging ability of 2.5 mg/mL green onion root extract was equivalent to 84.2% of that of 1 mg/mL BHT and 80.4% of that of 0.05 mg/mL vitamin C. With respect to melanin synthesis inhibition, the green onion root extract's ability to inhibit dopachrome, the intermediate product of melanin, was positively correlated to its concentration, i.e., the higher the concentration of the green onion root extract, the better the inhibition ability. The IC50 of green onion root extract was 1.83 mg/mL, while, for comparison, the IC50 of vitamin C was 0.62 mg/mL. Furthermore, according to the cell survival assay, no obvious cytotoxic effect was found with the increase in the concentration of the green onion root extract. The whitening effect improved after 30 days of test. The improvement rate was 5.6% for 2.5 mg/mL green onion root extract, 3.1% for 1.25 mg/mL extract, and 1.7% for 0.625 mg/mL extract. The moisture retention also improved after 30 days of test. The moisture retention improvement rate was 22.7% for 2.5 mg/mL green onion root extract, 21.6% for 1.25 mg/mL extract, and 15.4% for 0.625 mg/mL extract. Based on the experiments, the green onion root extract obtained from ultrasound not only did not cause skin allergy and irritation but also showed anti-aging, melanin synthesis inhibition, whitening and moisture retention effects. The results showed that the green onion root extract can improve the moisture retention and whitening effect of the mask.

A matéria-prima foi extraída das raízes de cebolinha por ultrassom em um ambiente de baixa temperatura, seguro e livre de poluição. Esperamos desenvolver produtos de limpeza e outros produtos para cuidados faciais produzidos com essa matéria-prima natural, ecologicamente correta, segura e acessível, para que pessoas com pele sensível também possam usar esses produtos. Também esperamos que este estudo possa contribuir para a economia circular e alcançar o objetivo da inovação ecológica, reciclando restos das raízes. Em termos de anti-oxidação, a capacidade de sequestro do radical livre DPPH de 2,5 mg/mL de extrato de raiz de cebolinha foi equivalente a 98% de 1 mg/mL de BHT; a capacidade quelante do Fe2+  foi equivalente a 87,0% de 0,02 mg/mL de EDTA; a capacidade de sequestro de ânions superóxidos de 2,5 mg/mL de extrato de raiz de cebolinha foi equivalente a 84,2% de 1 mg/mL BHT e 80,4% de 0,05 mg/mL de vitamina C. No que diz respeito à inibição da síntese de melanina, a capacidade do extrato de raiz de cebolinha de inibir o dopacrômio, o metabolito intermediário de melanina, foi positivamente correlacionada com a sua concentração, ou seja, quanto maior a concentração do extrato de raiz de cebolinha, maior a capacidade de inibição. O IC50 de extrato de raiz de cebolinha foi de 1,83 mg/mL, enquanto que, por comparação, o IC50 de vitamina C foi de 0,62 mg/mL. Além disso, de acordo com o ensaio de sobrevivência celular, nenhum efeito citotóxico foi observado com o aumento da concentração do extrato de raiz de cebolinha. O efeito de branqueamento melhora após 30 dias de ensaio. A melhoria foi de 5,6% para 2,5 mg/mL de extrato de raiz de cebolinha, 3,1% para 1,25 mg/mL de extrato e 1,7% para 0,625 mg/mL de extrato. A retenção de umidade também melhorou depois de 30 dias de teste. A taxa de melhoria de retenção de umidade foi de 22,7% para 2,5 mg/mL de extrato de raiz de cebolinha, 21,6% para 1,25 mg/mL de extrato, e 15,4% para 0,625 mg/mL de extrato.Com base nas experiências efetuadas, o extrato de raiz de cebolinha obtida por ultrassom não só não causa alergia nem irritação da pele, mas também demonstrou atividade anti-envelhecimento, inibição da síntese de melanina, capacidade de branqueamento e retenção de umidade. Os resultados mostraram que o extrato de raiz de cebolinha pode melhorar a retenção de umidade e efeito de branqueamento da máscara.EDUFU2019-08-08info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/article/view/4508610.14393/BJ-v35n4a2019-45086Bioscience Journal ; Vol. 35 No. 4 (2019): July/Aug.; 1276-1289Bioscience Journal ; v. 35 n. 4 (2019): July/Aug.; 1276-12891981-3163reponame:Bioscience journal (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)instacron:UFUenghttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/article/view/45086/26673Taiwan; ContemporaryCopyright (c) 2019 Li Hsien Chen, I Chia Chen, Pei Yen Chen, Ping Hsin Huanghttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessChen, Li Hsien Chen, I ChiaChen, Pei YenHuang, Ping Hsin2022-01-31T22:15:24Zoai:ojs.www.seer.ufu.br:article/45086Revistahttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournalPUBhttps://seer.ufu.br/index.php/biosciencejournal/oaibiosciencej@ufu.br||1981-31631516-3725opendoar:2022-01-31T22:15:24Bioscience journal (Online) - Universidade Federal de Uberlândia (UFU)false
