Obtaining and Characterization of Propanediol Phytoextracts From Acmella Oleracea

Plant extracts are becoming an increasingly important trend in phytocosmetic preparations, replacing chemical synthesis products and ensuring the quality of products in line with consumer requirements. Using propanediol as an extraction solvent, this paper characterizes Acmella oleracea extracts obtained by traditional or combined extraction methods. The evaluation of their antioxidant activity and their content of polyphenols and flavonoids served as a basis for their physico-chemical characterization. Based on the best extract of Acmella oleracea, an emulsion was prepared and its stability and homogeneity were preliminary evaluated.
