For the assessment of apple flower leaf extract (AFE) as a functional material, the content of total phenolic compounds, whitening and antioxidant activities and nutritional components of AFE were analyzed.
The AFE contains 57.52% of carbohydrate, 23.23% of crude protein and 4.35% of crude lipid, based on dry matter. The content of total phenolic compounds was measured as 1218.94 ㎍/㎖, and antioxidant activities and whitening activities as 74.85% and 59.18% at a concentration of 250 ㎍/㎖ in 70% ethanol extract, respectively. In conclusion, it is suggested that AFE could be used as an active ingredient for cosmetic products and valuable nutrient source.
