“…Thus, the two studied plants show significant values of SPF throughout the year, which are higher than what is required by the Brazilian Regulatory Agency (ANVISA) in When is considered that in this test were only used plant extracts of the two studied species incorporated at 10% in Polawax ® cream, it is possible to suggest that these results are promising in the photoprotection area, since reaching SPF levels close to 15 without the addition of any synthetic sunscreen is not easy, as shows the study made by Oliveira et al [48], that evaluated the SPF of Schinus terebinthifolius Raddi ethanolic extracts and none formulation composed only but extracts had SPF above 5.08. In another study made by Mota et al [49], it was evaluated SPF of Psidium guajava ethanolic extract and they found SPF = 1. Similarly, Mota et al [50] evaluated SPF of Nephelium lappaceum L. ethanolic extract (peels) and its SPF = 0.4.…”

Secondary metabolite production by plants is influenced by external environmental factors that can change depending on the seasons, which makes it important to know how the plant, through its metabolism, is able to adapt to these variations. Mentha x villosa and Plectranthus amboinicus present in their chemical composition polyphenols, and through previous studies, it has been seen that these two species present promising in vitro photoprotective activity. The aim of this study was to evaluate seasonal alterations in photoprotective and antioxidant activities and the influence of factors such as precipitation levels and sun radiation incidence. Thus, polyphenol quantification, cromatographics (HPLC-DAD) and multivariate (PCA) analyses of extracts of the two species through twelve months were done. It was observed that the best months for photoprotective and antioxidant activities were September for M. villosa and July for P. amboinicus (SPF = 14.79). It was possible to conclude that solar radiation more clearly influences the production of phenolics and the increase of SPF in M. villosa, in addition to favoring the antioxidant activity of the two species, while precipitation seems to have no influence.

“…These results were in accordance to those obtained by Dutra et al (2004) who indicated the maximum absorbance of flavonoids at peaks (240-280nm; 300-500nm). In the same context, extracts of other medicinal plants have verified their effectiveness of being wide-ranging spectrum sunscreens indicating a high UV absorbance (Polonini et al, 2014;Singh & Sharma, 2016;Mota et al, 2020).…”

P LANT extracts acquiring antioxidant potential have recently been used for topical applications for significant protection against ultra violet (UV)-induced sunburn. The current study was conducted for screening Pluchea discoridis (Asteracea), Lawsonia inermis (Lythraceae), Aloe vera (Liliaceae) and Eucalyptus camaldulensis (Myrtaceae) for their photoprotective, antioxidant and anti-skin cancer properties.Multivariate data analysis based on spectrophotometric evaluation of major secondary metabolites was performed. Each plant had its specific pattern of metabolites. P. discoridis and E. camaldulensis were separated from other plants due to their high content of secondary metabolites where P. discoridis was discriminated by high content of flavonoids and saponins. E. camaldulensis, was discriminated by high content of phenolics and tannins.Different concentrations of plant extracts were read for absorbance at UVB spectrum. Sun protection factors (SPFs) were calculated. The highest concentration (10mg/mL) of P. discoridis extract had the highest SPF, i.e., 23.94± 0.98.The antioxidant activity using 2,2-Diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) assay revealed that P. discoridis and L. inermis extracts had the best free radical scavenging activity with DPPH at 100µg/mL of 85.69± 1.8 and 85.35± 2.5%, respectively.Human skin tumor cell line (A431) was incubated with the plant extracts. P. discoridis had the best anti-skin cancer activity of lowest LC 50 value. The effect induced by the P. discoridis extract was also identical to that of the standard chemotherapeutic drug (doxorubicin). The present study revealed that P. discoridis is a promising plant for use in sunscreen formulations and anti-skin cancer treatment.

The Potential of Selected Agri-Food Loss and Waste to Contribute to a Circular Economy: Applications in the Food, Cosmetic and Pharmaceutical Industries

The food sector includes several large industries such as canned food, pasta, flour, frozen products, and beverages. Those industries transform agricultural raw materials into added-value products. The fruit and vegetable industry is the largest and fastest-growing segment of the world agricultural production market, which commercialize various products such as juices, jams, and dehydrated products, followed by the cereal industry products such as chocolate, beer, and vegetable oils are produced. Similarly, the root and tuber industry produces flours and starches essential for the daily diet due to their high carbohydrate content. However, the processing of these foods generates a large amount of waste several times improperly disposed of in landfills. Due to the increase in the world’s population, the indiscriminate use of natural resources generates waste and food supply limitations due to the scarcity of resources, increasing hunger worldwide. The circular economy offers various tools for raising awareness for the recovery of waste, one of the best alternatives to mitigate the excessive consumption of raw materials and reduce waste. The loss and waste of food as a raw material offers bioactive compounds, enzymes, and nutrients that add value to the food cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. This paper systematically reviewed literature with different food loss and waste by-products as animal feed, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical products that strongly contribute to the paradigm shift to a circular economy. Additionally, this review compiles studies related to the integral recovery of by-products from the processing of fruits, vegetables, tubers, cereals, and legumes from the food industry, with the potential in SARS-CoV-2 disease and bacterial diseases treatment.
