This study was analyzed antioxidant activities(total polyphenol contents, total flavonoid contents, DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity, FRAP activity and reducing power), effectiveness activities(tyrosinase inhibition activity, collagenase inhibition activity, elastase inhibition activity and hyaluronidase inhibition activity) and antimicrobial activity to investigate the functional effects of fractions from Fragaria ananassa var. ‘Seolhyang’ extract.
For total polyphenols, total flavonoids, DPPH radical scavenging activity, ABTS radical scavenging activity, FRAP activity and reducing power, the ethyl acetate fraction of Fragaria ananassa var. ‘Seolhyang’ extract showed the highest contents and activities. Tyrosinase inhibition activity and collagenase inhibition activity on ethyl acetate fraction showed the highest IC50 values at 9.22±1.19 mg/mL and 2.56±0.25 mg/mL respectively. The elastase inhibition activity of Fragaria ananassa var. ‘Seolhyang’ fractional extracts was 93.70±4.49%(ethyl acetate fraction), 92.22±2.22%(n-butanol fraction), 77.19±5.32%(n-hexane fraction), 69.38±1.78%(water fraction) and 44.12±3.92%(80% ethanol extract) respectively at 1.25 mg/mL concentration. For the hyaluronidase inhibition activity, the ethyl acetate fraction of Fragaria ananassa var. ‘Seolhyang’ extract showed low hyaluronidase inhibition activity, but others did not revealed any notable hyaluronidase inhibition activity. With regard to antimicrobial activity , 80% ethanol extract was effective for five bacteria of B. cereus, B. subtilis, E. coli, E. cloacae and S. enterica, and water fraction was effective against B. cereus, B. subtilis, E. coli, E. cloacae, S. enterica, and P. aeruginosa. These results suggest that ethyl acetate fraction of Fragaria ananassa var. ‘Seolhyang’ extracts can be used as anti-aging cosmetic materials.
