Coffee is a very popular drink, which is traditionally used to supplement meals and for hedonistic purposes beyond of its functional and health properties. The coffee provides a multitude of bioactive by -products that can be used for the formulation of dermocosmetics. In this context, this work aimed to develop an emulsion using extracts of Coffea arabica as well as evaluate its physicochemical stability and antioxidant activity. Two formulations were developed with incorporation of different fractions of green seeds from Coffea arabica. Then, both formulations were submitted to extremes temperatures (5 and 45 o C) for 15 days, and pH, electrical conductivity, organoleptic characteristics and presence of viable microorganisms were determined. Total phenolic content was estimated by Folin-Ciocalteu method. Afterwards, fractions and cream were tested by 2,2diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl ( DPPH) radical scavenging assay. The formulation 2 showed no instability for all parameters evaluated. The hexane, glycolic, methanol, chloroform and ethyl acetate fractions, and cream at 150 µg/mL deactivated
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
