Description
METHODS FOR PREPARING WHITE HEIRLOOM TOMATO-BASED
COMPOSITIONS FOR SKIN LIGHTENING VIA ENHANCED GLUTATHIONE, AND ASSOCIATED COMPOSITIONS THEREOF
FIELD OF THE INVENTION Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to compositions for tomato-based compositions, and, more particularly, to methods for preparing white heirloom tomato-based compositions for anti-ageing purposes, and associated compositions thereof.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION As it is well known that for the whitening of the skin to a lighter skin tone or for the elimination of dark spots from the skin, whitening compositions are useful. Further, these whitening or skin bleaching compositions are effective as these inhibits the formation of melanin (Skin colour is determined by this pigment). However, such skin bleaching or whitening compositions contain harsh chemical, such as peroxides, glutathione, formaldehyde and the like, that has severe effects on the skin.
As disclosed in conventional prior art disclosure, the use of hydroquinone suppresses the melanocyte activity and helps in whitening of the skin. However, such less stringent composition has other disadvantage i.e., the hydroquinone is oxidised by air and light. Further, the oxidised product causes skin irritation and inflammation.
Furthermore, there has been disclosed in the prior art disclosure about the dermatological compositions that use paucilamellar liposomal carriers that help
in treating Melanoma caused by exposure to sunlight. However, such compositions are not effective in whitening the skin to a lighter skin tone. Additionally, some conventional prior art disclosure discloses the use of naturally derived materials in dermatological compositions, such as but not limited to, lemons, oranges, cucumber, rose fruit and the like. However, such naturally derived materials limit their usefulness based on age, skin type, colour and vary greatly in different subjects.
As disclosed in various prior art disclosures, the use of cosmetics composition containing carotenoids with the extract of plant of the genus malus, containing polyphenols helps in skin whitening. However, these compositions containing carotenoids are typically highly coloured and are sensitive to light and oxidation that considerably limits their usefulness.
Furthermore, prior art disclosures also disclose the use of polyphenolic compounds, mostly resorcinols having skin whitening properties. However, these compounds being susceptible to air and UV oxidation leads to colour instability that causes loss of skin tightening efficacy. Additionally, as per related prior art disclosure, the extract obtained from fruits of acerola containing Vitamin C, are incorporated into cosmetics to provide a whitening effect. Therefore, the prior art disclosures briefly discuss about the compositions that are useful for whitening of the skin. However, the element of usage to increase natural glutathione level is yet to be introduced in the market.
Thus, there is a recognized need for, and it would be highly beneficial to have alternative, effective natural cocktail of flavonoid and carotenoid preparations having minimal adverse side effects, which are effective for whitening skin and which are suitable for the cosmetic industry. Accordingly, there remains a need
in the art for innovative, novel, efficient methods for preparing white heirloom tomato-based compositions for anti-ageing purposes, and associated compositions thereof.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The embodiments of the present disclosure have several features, no single one of which is solely responsible for their desirable attributes. Without limiting the scope of the present embodiments as expressed by the claims that follow, their more prominent features will now be discussed briefly. After considering this discussion, and particularly after reading the section entitled “Detailed Description”, one will understand how the features of the present embodiments provide advantages.
In one embodiment, a method for preparing white heirloom tomato-based composition for anti-ageing purposes, the method including the steps of, sampling and decontaminating a tomato fruit sample via vigorous washing; freeze-drying and homogenising the tomato fruit sample to produce tomato fruit powder; preparing tomato fruit powder stock solution using the tomato fruit powder; and, dissolving and mixing the tomato fruit powder stock solution (100mg/ml) in distilled water.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION Various embodiments of the present invention are aimed at providing novel and inventive solutions focused on methods for preparing white heirloom tomato- based compositions for anti-ageing purposes, and associated compositions thereof.
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, a method for preparing white heirloom tomato-based composition for anti-ageing purposes,
the method including the steps of, sampling and decontaminating a tomato fruit sample via vigorous washing; freeze-drying and homogenising the tomato fruit sample to produce tomato fruit powder; preparing tomato fruit powder stock solution using the tomato fruit powder; and, dissolving and mixing the tomato fruit powder stock solution (100mg/ml) in distilled water.
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes the step of passing the tomato fruit powder stock solution through syringe filter for preparing different dilutions in plain medium (DMEM). In use, the tomato fruit powder stock solution is prepared by using dilutions of 100ug/ml, 200ug/ml, 500ug/ml, 1000ug/ml and 2000ug/ml.
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes steps of, obtaining a NIH 3T3 (mouse fibroblast) cell line from a cell tissue culture; and, culturing the cell line in Dulbecco's Modified Eagle's Medium High Glucose (DMEM-HG) with 10% foetal bovine serum (FBS). In use, the method further includes the steps of, treating the NIH 3T3 (mouse fibroblast) cell lines with tomato fruit powder; culturing the cell lines onto 96 well plates; treating the cell lines with 6mm H2O2 for approx. 4 hours to create ROS mediated cellular damage; and, treating injured cells with the concentrations (100ug/ml, 200ug/ml, 500ug/ml, 1000ug/ml and 2000ug/ml) of the tomato fruit powder stock solution for a period of 24 hours.
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, the method further includes the step of, calculating viability of the NIH 3T3 cells via MTT assay, evaluating the Glutathione reductase and reduced Gluthathione (GSH) levels in the NIH 3T3 cells, and, calculating the LDH activity of the NIH 3T3 cells via
LDH released assay. In use, the heirloom white tomato fruit includes phytoene and Phytofluene.
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 1 illustrates 3T3 cell line, as the plot of cytotoxicity percentage (%) versus various concentrations of Tomesol heirloom white tomato (Tomesoral), wherein lower concentrations of tomato powder did not show significant cytotoxicity on the cell lines, whereas, the higher concentration like 1mg or 2mg showed some cytotoxicity. Subsequently, on the basis of cytotoxicities, IC50 value was calculated as 1.986mg/ml. Also, the embodiment of the invention in Figure 1 (a) illustrates the Bar graph which further shows the relative values of absorbance after treating the 3T3 cells with MTT (3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl) - 2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide) assay.
Furthermore, the embodiment of the invention as illustrated in Figure 1 (b) shows line graph that depicts the relative percentage of viabilities on different concentrations of tomato powder while box represents the IC50 value for tomato powder. Values were taken as mean ±SEM and * shows the significant difference between viabilities of treated groups and untreated controls (p<0.05). In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, as illustrated in Figure 2(a), the relative absorbance of post treated cells, measuring the reduced levels of cytoplasmic enzyme LDH (Lactate dehydrogenase) released (during cell injury or stress), in treatment groups of 3T3 cells, after performing LDH assay. Also, the embodiment of the invention as illustrated in Figure 2 (b) shows the Expression analysis of LDH release in post treated cells. Values
were taken as mean ±SEM and * shows the significant difference between LDH levels of treated groups and untreated controls (p<0.05).
In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3 (a) shows relative absorbance of post treated cells that further shows an increased Glutathione Reductase in Post Treated Groups; 3T3 cells ’intracellular glutathione reductase (GR) activity was measured (n = 5 replicates) before and after treatment with Tomesol heirloom white tomato (Tomesoral). Subsequently, Glutathione reductase (GR) activity was significantly increased in post treated cells, wherein, the presence of white tomato powder in the media significantly boosted GR activity from 2.24±0.152 mll/mL prior to treatment to 5.07±0.323 mll/mL in the presence of Tomesol heirloom white tomato (Tomesoral) at a concentration of 500ug/ml. However, the addition of more tomato powder to a concentration of 1 mg/ml and 2mg/ml will not boost the levels further. The peak value is observed in 500ug/ml concentration. In accordance with an embodiment of the present invention, Figure 3(b) shows the expression analysis of reduced glutathione (GSH). Reduced glutathione (GSH) of H202 injured 3T3 cells was estimated (n = 5 replicates) pre and post treatment with heirloom tomato powder. GSH was significantly increased in tomato powder treated cells. The presence of white tomato powder in the media significantly enhances GSH as untreated cells has value of 0.347±0.0152 while treated groups have GSH levels as: T.TP-100ug/ml (0.417±0.0426), T.TP- 200ug/ml (0.524±0.0426), T.TP-500ug/ml (0.630±0.0323), T.TP-1 mg/ml (0.630±0.0104) and T.TP-2mg/ml (0.629±0.0199) compared to stressed cells (0.201 ±0.0139). The optimum dose of tomato powder is 500ug/ml. The addition of more tomato powder to a concentration of 1 mg/ml and 2mg/ml will not boost
the levels further. Further, Graph shows the reduced glutathione (GSH) levels in post treated cells. Values were taken as mean ±SEM and * shows the significant difference between GR levels of treated groups and untreated controls (p<0.05). Therefore, the present invention shows the use of Tomesol heirloom white tomato (Tomesoral) that is rich in carotenoids (phytoene and phytofluene) and flavonoids (chalconaringenin and rutin) unique natural cocktail which were specifically targeted to increase and forces glutathione level to increase excessively. In use, the heirloom white tomato fruit includes phytoene and Phytofluene.
