[0032] Example 2

[0033] The preparation method of the bamboo shoot extract comprises the following steps:

[0034] The mature main stem of the bamboo is heated to 210°C under anaerobic conditions for baking. During the baking process, after a popping sound is heard from the mature main stem of the bamboo, the temperature is raised to 220°C within 10 seconds, kept warm for 8 minutes, and then quickly taken out and placed in a room temperature environment until it is cooled to room temperature, thereby obtaining a baked bamboo.

[0035] The baked cinnamon bamboo is crushed by adding water at a weight ratio of 1:13, and then cellulose enzyme (enzyme activity ≥ 10000U / g) is added at 5% of the weight of the baked cinnamon bamboo, and enzymolysis is performed for 40 minutes under stirring to obtain an enzymolysis solution, and the enzymolysis solution is inactivated by filtering and taking the supernatant to obtain cinnamon bamboo liquid. The enzyme inactivation method is: heating the enzymolysis solution to 80°C and maintaining it for 1 minute.

[0036] The cinnamon bark extract is dried into powder to obtain cinnamon bark extract, wherein the powder has a water content of 9%.

[0038] Weigh 5 parts of Sophora flavescens root extract, 5 parts of Osmanthus fragrans extract, 3 parts of Pyracantha fortuneana fruit extract, 3 parts of Lycium barbarum fruit extract and 20 parts of niacinamide according to weight.

[0039] The Sophora flavescens root extract, Osmanthus fragrans extract, Pyracantha fortuneana fruit extract and Lycium barbarum fruit extract in the raw materials were slurried with n-hexane at 3 times the sum of their weights (using a stirring kettle at 200 r / min for 20 min).

[0040] The slurry was subjected to ultrasonic treatment at a frequency of 40,000 Hz and a power of 60 W for 4 h, and then filtered and dried at 40°C.

[0041] Add niacinamide at room temperature and stir well to obtain a whitening and brightening composition.

[0042] In this example, all raw materials except the Osmanthus fragrans extract were purchased through conventional channels.

[0043] Example 3

[0044] The difference from Example 2 is that 8 parts of Sophora flavescens root extract, 8 parts of Osmanthus fragrans extract, 5 parts of Pyracantha fortuneana fruit extract, 5 parts of Lycium barbarum fruit extract and 30 parts of niacinamide are weighed according to weight.

[0045] Example 4

[0046] The difference from Example 2 is that 7 parts of Sophora flavescens root extract, 7 parts of Osmanthus fragrans extract, 4 parts of Pyracantha fortuneana fruit extract, 4 parts of Lycium barbarum fruit extract and 25 parts of niacinamide are weighed according to weight.

[0047] Example 5

[0048] The difference from Example 2 is that 7 parts by weight of deionized water are added to the whitening and brightening composition and stirred evenly.

[0049] Comparative Example 1

[0050] The Sophora flavescens root extract was replaced with an equal weight of Phellodendron amurense extract.

[0051] Tyrosinase activity assay

[0052] The purpose of the experiment is to verify that the whitening and brightening composition obtained by the present invention can inhibit the expression of tyrosinase.

[0053] Experimental method: take B16F10 cells in good exponential growth phase, digest, count, inoculate the cells in a 10 cm cell culture dish, the inoculation concentration is about 1×105 cells / mL, the inoculation volume is 10 mL / dish, and culture in a 37°C, 5% CO2 incubator for 24 hours; add 100 μL of the whitening and brightening composition of Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1, respectively, and culture for 72 hours; collect the cells after the above-mentioned drug administration treatment, add 100 μL of non-denaturing lysis solution (containing 1 mM PMSF), and lyse at 4°C for 20 minutes; centrifuge at 4°C, 12000 r / min for 10 minutes, and the supernatant is the total cell protein extract. After extracting cell protein, add 10 μg of total protein in the cell lysis supernatant to a centrifuge tube, add PBS (pH 6.8) to 100 μL, mix thoroughly and add to a 96-well plate, then add 0.1% L-DOPA 100 μL, set 3 replicates for each group, incubate at 37°C for 1 hour in the dark. Measure the absorbance at 475 nm. The larger the absorbance value, the higher the tyrosinase activity.

[0054] The experimental results are shown in Table 1.

[0055] Table 1 Tyrosinase activity statistics

[0056] sample Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Example 5 Comparative Example 1 active(%) 41 47 45 42 50 74

[0057] As shown in Table 1, when the Sophora flavescens root extract was replaced by the Phellodendron amurense extract having similar antibacterial function, the inhibitory effect on tyrosinase expression was greatly reduced. Since the Sophora flavescens root extract itself does not have an inhibitory effect on tyrosinase expression, it can be inferred that the Sophora flavescens root extract has a synergistic effect in inhibiting tyrosinase expression.

[0058] Antioxidant test

[0059] The purpose of the experiment is to verify that the whitening and brightening composition obtained by the present invention has an antioxidant effect.

[0060] Experimental method: Take 0.1g, 0.2g and 0.3g of the samples of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1, add 2.0mL 1.52×10-4mmol / L DPPH anhydrous ethanol solution and mix thoroughly. After standing at room temperature and away from light for 30min, take the solvent as blank control and measure the absorbance A1 at 517nm; use the same volume of solvent instead of the sample solution as a negative control to measure the absorbance A2; use the same volume of anhydrous ethanol instead of DPPH solution as a blank group to measure the absorbance A3. Take VC as the control, do 3 replicates for each group, and calculate the average value. Calculate the clearance rate according to the following formula: Sample clearance rate of DPPH (%) = [1-(A1-A3) / A2]×100%.

[0061] The experimental results are shown in Table 2.

[0062] Table 2 DPPH free radical scavenging rate statistics

[0063]

[0064] As shown in Table 2, when the Sophora flavescens root extract was replaced by the Phellodendron amurense extract having similar antibacterial function, the DPPH free radical scavenging rate decreased significantly, so it can be inferred that the Sophora flavescens root extract had a synergistic effect on antioxidant activity.

[0065] Antibacterial test

[0066] The purpose of the experiment is to verify that the whitening and brightening composition obtained by the present invention has an antibacterial effect.

[0067] Experimental method: inoculate the strain (Staphylococcus aureus) on an agar plate, place it in a constant temperature incubator at 37°C and culture it for 24h, select a single colony and inoculate it on an agar plate, place it in a constant temperature incubator at 37°C and culture it for 16-18h, the strain concentration is equivalent to 1×108CFU / mL, dilute it 1000 times with beef extract peptone liquid medium as a diluent, so that the concentration of the diluted bacterial solution is about 1×105CFU / mL, and store it in a 4°C refrigerator for standby use (the entire process of inoculation and dilution is carried out on a clean bench). Take 0.2mL of the bacterial suspension and spread it on the agar medium, dilute Examples 1-5 and Comparative Example 1 with deionized water to a 0.25g / mL liquid, soak the filter paper (diameter d0=6mm) in different liquids, stick it on the surface of the plate, soak the filter paper with sterile water as a blank control, repeat 4 filter paper pieces in each group, culture at 36°C for 24h, and measure the diameter (d) of the inhibition zone.

[0068] The experimental results are shown in Table 3.

[0069] Table 3 Statistical table of antibacterial zone diameter

[0070] sample Diameter(mm) Example 1 1.19±0.15 Example 2 1.80±0.06 Example 3 1.87±0.11 Example 4 1.84±0.15 Example 5 1.76±0.05 Comparative Example 1 1.17±0.07

[0071] As can be seen from Table 3, the whitening and brightening composition obtained by the present invention has excellent antibacterial effect. In addition, Examples 2-4 further enhance the antibacterial effect by treating Bamboo Striata, which proves that Bamboo Striata has a synergistic effect on the antibacterial effect of Sophora flavescens root extract.

[0072] The above embodiments and descriptions are only for illustrating the principles and best embodiments of the present invention. Without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention, the present invention may be subject to various changes and improvements, all of which fall within the scope of the present invention to be protected.
