A PRELIMINARY STUDY ON IN-VITRO EVALUATION OF FLOWERS OF SESBANIA GRANDIFLORA (LINN) AS A NATURAL ANTI-SOLAR AGENT
ABSTRACT
The present study was designed to evaluate the UV absorption ability of aqueous and methanolic extract of Sesbania grandiflora flowers as an anti-solar agent. The method was performed by UV visible spectrophotometry in range of 200-400 nm for both the extracts. The findings suggested that S. grandiflora methanolic extract exhibited as a better anti-solar activity than that of aqueous. From this, it was concluded that the methanolic extract from flowers of S. grandiflora may be used in various sunscreen formulations.
