Development of microemulsion of a potent antityrosinase essential oil of an edible plant

The aim of this study is to develop a microemulsion product from a plant essential oil having the highest antityrosinase activity. The in vitro antityrosinase activity of six essential oils extracted from six edible plants was compared. The oil of Cymbopogon citratus demonstrated the highest activit...
