Abstract

Finding and choosing alternative herbs with strong aroma and antimicrobial properties that grow naturally in Turkey -our country- is especially important for cosmetic products. In this study, the pickling herb (Echinophora sibthorpiana Guss.) also known as “çörtük”, “tarhana grass” among people was used. Essential oil in plants collected from their natural environment was obtained by distillation and the analysis of volatile components was performed. Then the microbial protection of essential oil in the creams was performed. The pH and viscosity measurements and rapid microbiological analyzes were made in all creams. The results revealed that it was found that no microbial activity was observed in the creams and their pH was compatible with the skin pH.

Keywords

Kremlerde çörtük uçucu yağının antimikrobiyal koruyucu etkisi

Abstract

Ülkemizde -Türkiye’de- doğal olarak yetişen, güçlü aroma ve antimikrobiyal özelliğe sahip olan alternatif bitkilerin bulunması ve seçilmesi özellikle kozmetik ürünler açısından oldukça önemlidir. Bu çalışmada halk arasında “çörtük”, “tarhana otu” olarak da bilinen Echinophora sibthorpiana Guss. kullanılmıştır. Doğal ortamlarından toplanan bitkilerde bulunan uçucu yağlar damıtma yoluyla elde edilmiş ve uçucu bileşenlerin analizi yapılmıştır. Daha sonra uçucu yağın kremdeki mikrobiyal koruyuculuğu çalışılmıştır. Tüm kremlerde pH ve viskozite ölçümleri ile hızlı mikrobiyolojik analizler yapılmıştır. Sonuçlar, kremlerde mikrobiyal aktivitenin gözlenmediğini ve pH'larının cilt pH'ı ile uyumlu olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
