A new colloidal silver (Ag) system is present in which a fine colloidal Ag is in situ deposited onto functionalized porous poly (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) (poly (EGDMA)) microspheres. The effectiveness of Ag deposition was investigated considering the surface characteristics of poly (EGDMA) microspheres. The result reported in this study illustrates that the control of surface area and surface functionality (in this study, a hydroxyl group) of poly (EGDMA) microspheres is an important factor that determines practically the degree of deposition of colloidal Ag. The x-ray analysis showed that Ag nanoparticles were dispersed evenly inner and outer surfaces and had a face center cubic (fee) phase. In the preservative efficacy test, the Ag-containing poly (EGDMA) microspheres had a powerful anti-bacterial activity, showing a high potential for a new preservative in cosmetic industry.

The use of suitable sanitizers can increase the quality of fresh-cut produce and reduce the risk of foodborne illnesses. The objective of this study was to compare the washing effects of 100 mg/L sodium hypochlorite (SH) and 500 mg/L acidified sodium chlorite (ASC) on the prevention of enzymatic browning and the growth of microbial populations, including aerobic plate counts, E. coli, and coliforms, throughout storage at $4^{\circ}C$ and $10^{\circ}C$. Fresh-cut zucchini, cucumbers, green bell peppers, and root vegetables such as potatoes, sweet potatoes, carrots, and radishes were used. Compared to SH washing, ASC washing significantly (p<0.05) reduced microbial contamination on the fresh-cut produce and prevented browning of fresh-cut potatoes and sweet potatoes during storage. More effective inhibition of aerobic plate counts and coliforms growth was observed on fresh-cut produce treated with ASC during storage at $10^{\circ}C$. Polyphenol oxidase (PPO) activity of fresh-cut potatoes and sweet potatoes was more effectively inhibited after washing with ASC. The use of 500 mg/L ASC can provide effective antimicrobial and anti-browning treatments of fresh-cut produce, including processed root vegetables.

Santalum album Linn. [Family: Santalaceae] is commonly known as white sandalwood, sandal safaid and safed chandan. It is one of the most valuable trees and second costliest wood in the world. Sandalwood and its oil is extensively used in the Unani and other traditional systems of medicine as it has blood purifier, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, exhilarant, cardiotonic, antiseptic, nervine tonic and expectorant properties. It is used in skin, cardiac, liver, gastrointestinal, respiratory, integument and urogenital disorders. These uses are supported and proven by many in vitro or in vivo studies. The proven pharmacological activities of S. album are antimicrobial, anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimutagenic and anti-fatigue. The research has proven that sandal oil or its constituents have anti-microbial activity. Sandalwood oil showed skin cancer preventive effect in mice and its constituent alpha santalol showed the anticancer property. The methanolic extract of wood was confirmed for antioxidant, free radical scavenging, analgesic and anti-inflammatory activities. ${\alpha}$ and ${\beta}$ santalols present in sandal oil showed sedative effects. Sandalwood tea had a significant effect on heart muscles of frog and showed increased myocardial contractility. Its oil showed significant changes in hepatic xenobiotic metabolizing enzymes. Sandalwood oil and its major constituents showed less acute oral and dermal toxicity in laboratory animals. Hence, the aforementioned studies justify the uses of sandalwood and its oil mentioned in the classical Unani literature. However, further clinical trials are suggested to confirm its efficacy and safety in humans.

Eruca sativa (E. sativa)는 루꼴라라고 불리우고 이탈리아 요리에 많이 사용되는 식물로 Brassicaceae 속에 속하는 다년생 식물이다. E. sativa를 70% 에탄올로 환류추출 및 농축하고 (ES), n-hexane (EHex), ethyl acetate (EEA), chloroform (ECHCl₃), n-butyl alcohol (EBuOH) 및 water (EDW) 용매 극성별로 분획하여 미백 효능을 규명하고 화장품 소재로서의 응용성을 연구하였다. ES, EHex, EEA, ECHCl₃, EBuOH 및 EDW의 mushroom tyrosinase 활성 저해를 평가한 결과 EEA가 가장 유의하게 저해하였으며, B16F10 멜라노마 세포 내에서의 멜라닌 생성을 확인한 결과 ES, EEA 및 EBuOH를 처리하였을 때 멜라닌 생성이 유의하게 저해되었으며, 특히 EEA 분획물에서 가장 효과가 뛰어났다. 피부염과 여드름을 일으키는 황색포도상구균, 여드름 원인균을 포함한 8종의 세균, 진균에 대해 ES, EHex, EEA, ECHCl₃, EBuOH 및 EDW의 항균력과 방부력 시험을 평가한 결과 EEA는 8종의 균 모두 효과적으로 항균력을 나타냈다. ES를 0.05, 0.1%를 함유하여 제조한 토너와 에멀션은 기존 처방에서 방부력을 증가시켜 천연보존제 역할을 할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. ES를 토너, 에멀션 제형에 0.05, 0.1%로 첨가하여 일광, -20, 4, 25, 55 ℃ 조건에서 4 개월동안 안정성을 평가한 결과 pH 및 점도에 대한 영향은 크게 없었으나 대조군 및 ES를 첨가한 에멀션 55 ℃에서 분리가 일어나는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 피부침투시험을 통해 EEA는 6 hr에서 0.058%가 침투되어 임상적인 효능을 예측할 수 있었다. 천연소재 E. sativa는 미백 기능성화장품 소재 및 천연 항균 보존제로 활용 가치가 있을 것으로 사료된다.

The optimal concentration of ethanol to separate a high quantity of propolis was $60\%$ but that for the best flavonoids extraction was $80\%$ We compared the yields of propolis from different countries. In this study we used $60\%$ ethanol concentration as a standard. The yield of propolis was proportional to the contents of flavonoids. Namely, Polish propolis which showed the highest yield with $56\%$ by the extraction with $60\%$ ethanol revealed also the highest flavonoids content with $3.49\%$ among all the samples tested The major constituents of propolis differed from country to country. It has been suggested that the different geographical origin influenced the efficacy and the constituents of propolis. Antibacterial activity of ethanol extracted propolis from different countries was tested against 6 microbial strains of type cultures including Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus uberis, Streptococcus agalactiae) and Gram- negative bacteria (Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus vulgaris and E coli) in vitro. Propolis extract showed anti-microbial activity against all the tested bacterial strains. In addition, propolis was sensitive to E coli which was resistant to broad spectrum antibiotics like ampicillin. These results showed that propolis may substituted for commercial antibiotics. The efficiency of anti-microbial activity of the propolis was slightly higher in $80\%$ than $97\%$ ethanol extract.
