Embodiment 1

[0073] Example 1: Effects on skin pigmentation

[0074] To assess the potential beneficial effects of ingredients on skin depigmentation or promotion of hyperpigmentation, we performed 2 experiments with 2D cultures (B16) of murine melanocytes: 1 - to assess melanogenesis and 2 - to assess tyrosinase production.

[0075] 1. cell culture conditions

[0076] B16 cells were grown in DMEM containing 1 g / L glucose, without phenol red, supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum, in a humidified culture chamber at 37 °C with 5% CO. 2 cultured under conditions.

[0077] 2. Production of melanin from B16 murine melanocyte cell line

[0078] Cells were incubated with selected components or assay reference (kojic acid, 400 μg / mL) in the presence or absence of the MSH analog NDP-MSH for 72 hours. The total amount of melanin (extracellular and intracellular) was assessed by measuring the optical density at 405 nm of each sample compared to a melanin standard in the presence or absen...

Embodiment 2

[0089] Example 2: Effects on skin barrier function and moisture content

[0090] Using 2D cultures of human primary epidermal keratinocytes to evaluate the potential beneficial effects of the extract of Example 1 on skin barrier function and skin moisture content, we performed 3 experiments: 1 - Evaluation of human primary epidermal keratinocytes The cells synthesize filaggrin, 2-assess the secretion of hyaluronic acid by human primary epidermal keratinocytes and 3-assess the production of CD44 (hyaluronic acid receptor) by human primary epidermal keratinocytes.

[0091] cell culture conditions

[0092] Human epidermal keratinocytes were grown in control keratinocyte-SFM medium in a humidified culture chamber at 37°C with 5% CO 2 cultured under conditions.

[0093] Filaggrin synthesis by human epidermal keratinocytes

[0094] Cells were combined with selected components or assay reference (CaCl 2 , 1.5 mM) were incubated together for 144 hours. Filaggrin production ...

Embodiment 3

[0102] A roasted extract of Robusta coffee was prepared by grinding 0.5 kg of roasted coffee beans to a powder at 4°C (ice bath) with a Turrax device at 24000 rev / min for 1 minute.

[0103] The resulting powder was mixed with 5 liters of 0.05M phosphate buffer pH 8.5. The entire mixture was stirred at 4°C for 30 minutes and then centrifuged at 10000G at 4°C. The supernatant was filtered through a 0.22um filter (sterile filtration).

[0104] The extract is then fractionated by ultrafiltration through a Sartorius type membrane in order to remove oxidation phenomena therefrom. The extract was then lyophilized, thus obtaining 29.5 grams of active extract called "lyophilized extract".

[0105] Then, by supercritical chromatography (CO 2 used as a carrier gas) to remove caffeine. Thus 25.5 grams of active extract called "decaffeinated lyophilized extract" was obtained.

Abstract

The present invention relates generally to the field of food supplements and / or food products for cosmetic purpose. More specifically, the present invention aims to provide an ingredient containing roasted coffee beans for preventing and / or treating hyper-pigmentation of skin, skin color imperfections such as age-spots and other skin disorders characterized by abnormal pigments. The present invention also aims at improving skin tone as well as providing a skin lightening or whitening agent.

Description

[0001] The present invention generally relates to the field of food supplements and / or foods for cosmetic purposes. More specifically, the present invention aims to provide an ingredient comprising roasted coffee beans for the prevention and / or treatment of hyperpigmentation of the skin, skin color defects such as age spots and other skin conditions characterized by hyperpigmentation. It is also an object of the present invention to improve skin tone and to provide skin lightening or brightening agents. Background of the Invention [0002] Skin color is primarily determined by the amount and type of melanin, a brown pigment present in the skin. The lower the amount of melanin, the whiter the skin, and the greater the amount, the darker the skin. In addition, hyperpigmentation of the skin is also caused by the overexpression or accumulation of melanin in the skin. Thus, the pathways involved in melanin production have been the target of many inhibitors designed to reduce the ...
