  Abstract

This paper describes a shake-flask fermentation of Acacia flower producing whitening- and antioxidant- agents. yrosinase activity was inhibited in the presence of traditional and flask-fermentation broths whereas no inhibitory effect of flower extract was observed. Tyrosinase inhibition was 40% in the presence of solution containing 10% of extract from fermentation broth and it increased by increase in the concentration of it. Arbutin (20 mg mL-1) and kojic acid (80 μg mL-1) gave 90% and 58% inhibition, respectively. The result indicates that whitening activity of 40% extract solution was comparable to that of kojic acid (80 μg mL-1). The comparable antioxidant activity was observed for 60% extract and 10-mg mL-1 vitamin solution. No noticeable toxicity was observed with extract. The physicochemical stability of fermentation supernatant was observed at room temperature storage condition. The result clearly shows that shake-flask fermentation of Acacia flower produced whitening agent for functional cosmetics.
