Inhibition activity of extracts from Aster scaber on tyrosinase
| Sample | Tyrosinase inhibition activity (%) |
| Phenolic content (μg/mL) |
| 50 | 100 | 150 | 200 |
| Water extracts | 15.78±0.57a1) | 15.62±0.47a | 24.49±0.27b | 46.86±2.83c |
| Ethanol extracts | 13.77±1.62a | 14.88±3.59a | 22.85±0.60b | 24.70±1.35b |
| Kojic acid | 35.21±2.09a | 55.43±1.72b | 67.92±1.32c | 77.03±1.51d |
Mean±SD (n=6), means with different superscript letters within level are significantly different at p<0.05 by Duncan's multiple range tests. Kojic acid was used for control.
