Overview

This study demonstrates the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities of Etlingera elatior extracts, suggesting potential in cosmetic applications.

Key Points

  • The red inflorescence extract showed strong antioxidant activity with the highest DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging effects.
  • This extract also had the highest phenolic and flavonoid contents, measuring 102.7 mg GAE/g and 56.7 mg catechin/g of extract.
  • The 100% ethanolic extract significantly reduced melanin production in melanoma cells, enhancing its tyrosinase inhibitory potential.
  • Furthermore, the anti-inflammatory activity of the extract was notable, showing an IC₅₀ value of 40.4 µg/mL in macrophage cells without cytotoxicity.
