The Antioxidant and Phytochemical of Curcuma zedoaria (Christm.) Roscoe (storageroot) into Cosmetic Ingredients to upgrading community products at Ra-ka-tai Village, Kra-sang District, Buriram Province
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the antioxidant activity and phytochemical constituents of turmeric milk serum compared with Curcuma zedoaria (Christm.) Roscoe (storage root). The plant materials examined were rhizomes of Zingiberaceae, with purposive sampling applied to select “turmeric milk,” a mixture of four species (Curcuma aromatica, Curcuma aeruginosa, Curcuma sp., and Curcuma xanthorrhiza). Proximate analysis showed that both fresh turmeric milk and C. zedoaria contained proteins, fats, fiber, and moisture. Ethanolic extraction was performed using 95% ethanol as a safe and effective solvent. Phytochemical screening indicated the presence of flavonoids and saponins in both extracts. The total phenolic content was higher in C. zedoaria extract (120.340 mg GAE/g) than in turmeric milk extract (27.920 mg GAE/g). Antioxidant activity, measured by the DPPH assay and expressed as vitamin C equivalent, showed IC50 values of 50.9059 µg/mg for C. zedoaria and 348.1242 µg/mg for turmeric milk. Statistical analysis revealed a significant difference (p < 0.05) between the two extracts. These findings confirm that both C. zedoaria and turmeric milk contain antioxidant compounds, highlighting their potential application as natural ingredients in community-based cosmetic formulations.
