“…Thus, a small amount of BZ-EXT is sufficient for this sensing methodology. Yueru Chen et al mentioned the constituents present in Broussonetia species, [35] among which vitexin, [38] apigenin [39] etc. flavonoids, Dihydrosyringin [40] etc.…”

Rhodamine B (Rh−B) is a well‐known carcinogenic agent with potential health risks, yet it is frequently used as a food adulterant in developing countries. This study presents the synthesis and characterization of a Broussonetia Zeylanica extract (BZ‐EXT) from a plant for the rapid, efficient, and sensitive colorimetric sensing of Rh−B. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were found to be 0.41 μg/mL and 1.31 μg/mL, respectively. We demonstrating superior sensitivity compared to conventional methods using DI water as a solvent. Furthermore, the practical applicability of the developed material was successfully tested in real samples, yielding estimated values of Rh−B are 0.76 μg/mL and 0.52 μg/mL, respectively. The pH dependent colorimetric sensing performance of the BZ‐EXT for Rh−B detection was found more efficient at aqueous pH value of 9.2. These results highlight the potential of the BZ‐EXT as a promising tool for rapid and sensitive detection of Rh−B food adulteration in real samples.

“…Ex Vent.) contains several chemical compounds such as flavonoids, polyphenols, alkaloids, coumarins, and saponins, showing a wide range of biological effects, including antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant action, which may be beneficial in the treatment of acne [ 184 , 185 , 186 ]. In addition, it has a high tyrosinase inhibitory effect and can be used as a bleaching ingredient.…”

“…In addition, it has a high tyrosinase inhibitory effect and can be used as a bleaching ingredient. Although the non-inferiority test did not assess this outcome, this ingredient may be beneficial in reducing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation in acne [ 186 ]. Regarding safety, no systemic adverse effects were reported from the use of the plant extract gel, and the most reported effects were skin irritation, itching, and burning sensation after application.…”

Tea Tree Oil: Properties and the Therapeutic Approach to Acne—A Review

Acne vulgaris is an inflammatory dermatological pathology that affects mostly young people. However, it can also appear in adulthood, mainly in women. It has a high psychosocial impact, not only at the time of active lesions but also due to the consequences of lesions such as scarring and hyperpigmentation. Several factors are involved in the physiopathology of acne and the constant search for active ingredients is a reality, namely phytotherapeutic ingredients. Tea tree oil is an essential oil extracted from Melaleuca alternifolia (Maiden & Betch) Cheel with known antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties, making it a candidate for the treatment of acne. This review aims to describe the various properties of tea tree oil that make it a possible ingredient to use in the treatment of acne and to present several human studies that have evaluated the efficacy and safety of using tea tree oil in the treatment of acne. It can be concluded that tea tree oil has good antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties that result in a decrease in the number of inflammatory lesions, mainly papules, and pustules. However, given the diversity of study designs, it is not possible to draw concrete conclusions on the efficacy and safety of this oil in the treatment of acne.

Black mulberry is crucial for its high content of bioactive substances, such as phenolic compounds and vitamin C, as well as nutritional values, such as carbohydrates, fats, fibre and minerals. This study aimed to determine the physical, biochemical and nutritional properties of 35 different brands of black mulberry extracts sold in our country. Consequently of the studies, it was observed that some of the extracts sold in our country had a very high HMF value; most of them contained no protein and additional maltose and derivatives. In addition, all of these black mulberry extracts were low in minerals and contained additional sweeteners, preservatives and synthetic colourings. Synthetic colourings were found in many of these black mulberry extracts and carbon 13 levels were not appropriate. When BME-34 and 35 brands of black mulberry extract were analysed, all of the above values were appropriate, and consistent with previous studies in the literature.
