- Abstract
The article presents a study concerning the antimelanogenic and antioxidant properties of chestnut flower extract. The study involves the analysis of antimelanogenic and antioxidant properties of solvent extracts of pre-bloom and full-bloom chestnut flowers. It shows that antimelanogenic effects of chestnut flowers extracts are ascribed to their inhibitory effects on tyrosinase by their anti-oxidative action which make them a potent prospect for cosmetics, pharmaceutical and food purposes.
