Abstract:
The wider community, especially mothers and adolescents, have not been aware of the importance of using hygienic cosmetic products. Microbial contamination in cosmetics can occur due to the use of unhygienic applicators and the exchange of cosmetics between users. In addition, improper cosmetics storage in warm and humid places triggers microbial growth. Based on this, it is necessary to educate cosmetic microbial contamination of PKK RW 09 Bumi Antariksa Residence Madiun. The activities carried out through lectures, interactive discussions, consultations and assistance related to the use of cosmetics material and storage are good to minimize microbial contamination. Educational activities have succeeded in increasing partner knowledge about the correct handling of cosmetics including the use, the expiration of cosmetics and its storage and increasing knowledge concerning the prevention of microbial contamination in cosmetics including the correct handling of applicators and the use of cosmetics together. Keywords—: education; microbial contamination; cosmetics; bumi antariksa.

Abstract:
Synthetic pigments have been used in the cosmetics industry for a very long time in everything from lipsticks to eye shadows. However, the hunt for sustainable and secure alternatives is driven by escalating environmental and health concerns. A feasible alternative that offers benefits in terms of biodegradability, sustainability, and safety is bacteria-based pigments. The potential of bacterial pigments in cosmetics is explored in this review article by focusing on their sources, extraction processes, and advantages over synthetic alternatives. The study also explores the safety and regulatory framework pertaining to bacterial pigments and presents actual case studies of their successful application in cosmetic products. A scenario on the potential impact of bacterial pigments on the cosmetics market is provided as a conclusion. The demand for various cosmetics is on rise and ever-increasing due to the inherent desire to look beautiful. A marked increase in women’s use of different cosmetic formulations has been witnessed in recent years. Varieties of cosmetics from different manufacturers are available in the market. Synthetic colors have been used in cosmetics for a long time, resulting in human health risks and environmental pollution. Therefore it is critical to search for novel natural pigments that are safe and alternative to synthetic ones. Compared to synthetic colors, microbial pigments show better biodegradability and greater compatibility with the environment.

Abstract:
Fiqh muamalah cosmetics is a study of the law on the use of cosmetics. Although cosmetics are synonymous with women, basically cosmetics are a need for everyone which has a very broad scope. The government through the Majelis Ulama Indonesia is increasingly educating the public regarding halal cosmetics and issuing regulations related to the cosmetic industry to include halal labels as a form of protection for Muslim consumers. Although there have been many halal cosmetics on the market, this is not followed by Muslim awareness to use them. There have been many studies and discussions from previous research on cosmetic fiqh or halal cosmetics. One of them concludes that a person's religion is not a determinant in using halal cosmetics. The purpose of this study was to see the extent of academic studies or discussions about fiqh muamalah cosmetics or halal cosmetics. The research method used is a qualitative approach, namely content analysis of articles from the Google Scholar database. By mapping the themes of previous studies through literature studies. From a search on the Google Scholar database with the keywords "fiqh" and "cosmetics" or "halal cosmetics" in the period 2017 to 2022, 168 articles were found which were then selected into 38 articles that were considered still relevant to the themes discussed. Of the 38 selected articles, they have been grouped into several themes: 1) An overview of Islamic law related to make-up and the use of cosmetics. 2) Halal Labeling and Interest in Cosmetics. 3) Cosmetics business in Islamic Business Ethics.

Abstract:
Herbal cosmetics contain phytochemicals derived from various botanical sources to address nutrient deficiencies and improve human appearance. Natural beauty is God's gift; cosmetics help sustain and enhance human beauty and personality. Recently, herbal cosmetics have gained popularity due to their inherent suitability and usefulness and fewer adverse effects than synthetic products. In this article, we highlighted the advantages, types of herbal cosmetics, toxic effects, chemicals and adverse effects of synthetic cosmetics and herbs used for dermal care. Then, we surveyed to investigate the pattern of cosmetic usage in the daily lives of people, their awareness and practices regarding caution with cosmetic use, and common side effects associated with people during cosmetic usage.

Abstract:
Abstract A survey was conducted to assess both the potential health risk from shared-use cosmetics caused by microorganisms and the microbial efficacy of preservatives in cosmetics. Samples of 3027 shared-use cosmetic products were collected from 171 retail establishments nationwide. Fungi were present in 10.4% of the products, and 3.9% contained fungal pathogens or opportunistic pathogens. The 423 fungal isolates identified represented 33 genera and at least 69 species. A disproportionately large share of the fungal isolates were from eye products; fewer were from lip products. Pathogenic or opportunistic pathogens made up 32.2% of the fungal isolates. A slightly lower percentage of samples that contained preservatives had fungi, a fact suggesting that preservatives reduce the incidence of fungi in cosmetics. Results of this survey indicate potential microbiological problems concerning the safety of shareduse cosmetics.

Abstract:
Human beings have been using herbs for different purpose like food, medicine, beautifying. The word cosmetic was derived from the Greek word “kosm tikos” meaning having the power, arrange, skill in decorating. The natural herbs and their products when used for their aromatic value in cosmetic preparation are termed as herbal cosmetics. The increased demand for the natural product has created new avenues in cosmeceuticals market. The herbal Cosmetics have been the first choice of the customers, for being more potent, easily available and thought to be less side effective. Herbal cosmetics are Fastest growing field of personal care products. Cosmeceuticals is the fastest growing segment of the personal care products these are cosmetic preparations which contain biologically active principles or ingredients of plant origin. In recent years there is an increased demand for the use of herbs in cosmetics due to their mild action and less toxic in nature and they are found to be more effective. The desire of good looking and to be beautiful gave a huge market for the herbal cosmetics. Now a days desire to be look younger than original age, to be look beautiful, fresh, charming and fair have directly increased the demand of herbal cosmetics as well as of the Cosmeceuticals in the market. Hence the review overlooks on the use of herbal cosmetics and cosmeceuticals. It also describes about herbs as cosmetics. Numerous herbal plants are available naturally; they having different chemical constituents used in cosmetics preparations. This review is based on focusing on the cosmeceuticals intended to enhance the health and beauty of skin. Keywords: Herbal cosmetics, cosmeceuticals, herbs, skin care, skin cosmetics, tooth cosmetics, hair cosmetics.

Abstract:
Background. Rabbit skin model was used to test skin irritation of the most commonly used cosmetic products in Jimma town, southwestern Ethiopia. The most commonly used cosmetics were Dove, Glysolid, College, Top Society, Fair and Lovely, Nivea, Lux, Magic fruit world, Solea, Body talk, Kris, Holly, Victoria, and Sweet Heart.Methods. Intact and abraded rabbit skins were tested for erythema and edema under shade and under sun exposure. Draize Primary Irritation Index (PII) was used to calculate skin irritation of each cosmetic. Cosmetic ingredients were analyzed from the labels.Results and Discussion. Only Dove cream caused no skin irritation except for an abraded skin under sun exposure for five consecutive days. It has been identified that application of cosmetics on abraded skin under sunny condition worsens the irritation. Cosmetic labels revealed that most ingredients used in all products were those restricted chemicals due to their adverse health effects.Conclusion. This study has concluded that use of cosmetics under sunshine and also on abraded skin increases skin irritation. Hence, those users who have abraded skin are advised not to apply those cosmetics on continuous basis specifically under sun exposure.

Abstract:
The cosmetic industry is searching for new active ingredients from renewable natural sources to make more environmentally friendly and safe products. Botanical extract is a nearly limitless source of these new actives due to the current consumer demands as well as international regulations. Due to both their fragrant nature for the creation of fragrances and perfumes and the numerous advantageous properties of their individual components (EOCs), such as anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties, essential oils (EOs) emerge as a very common natural ingredient in cosmetics and toiletries. Additionally, nowadays, the cosmetic industry includes EOs or different mixtures of their individual components (EOCs), either as active ingredients or as preservatives, in various product ranges (e.g., moisturizers, lotions, and cleansers in skin care cosmetics; conditioners, masks or anti-dandruff products in hair care products; lipsticks, or fragrances in perfumery). However, because each essential oil’s distinct chemical profile is linked to a different set of advantages, it is challenging to generalize about how they might be used in cosmetics and toiletries. Formulators frequently spend time looking for appropriate combinations of EOs or EOCs to achieve particular advantages in the finished products. The literature on the most recent developments in the use of EOs and EOCs in the production of cosmetic products is updated in this work’s review of the literature. Additionally, certain particular issues pertaining to the security of EOs and EOCs in cosmetics will be covered. It is expected that the information contained in this comprehensive review can be exploited by formulators in the design and optimization of cosmetic formulations containing EOs.

Abstract:
L’usage de produits cosmétiques de maquillage et de soin est ancré dans le quotidien de nombreuses personnes, et est source d’un bien-être certain. Malgré la consommation considérable de ces produits au sein de la population et leurs enjeux sociaux et de santé, peu d’études se sont intéressées à l’étude des motivations et des freins sous-tendant l’usage des produits de maquillage, et encore moins aux motivations et freins sous-tendant l’usage des produits de soin. En outre, la perception qu’ont les individus des produits, et des risques pouvant être associés leur usage, n’a été que peu étudiée jusqu’à présent. Ce travail doctoral se propose d’explorer ces champs de recherche encore peu investigués, à travers deux objectifs. Le premier vise à étudier le comportement d’usage des produits de maquillage et de soin, en lien avec des variables relatives à l’apparence et à l’influence socioculturelle. Le second vise à identifier des déterminants de la perception des risques liés à l’usage des produits de maquillage et de soin, et à étudier cette perception du risque en lien avec la perception des bénéfices et l’usage des produits, et ce pour une population non-experte. Dans ce but, deux études sont conduites auprès de femmes françaises et majeures. Dans la première étude, exploratoire, 34 entretiens semi-directifs sont réalisés et analysés via une analyse thématique. Les résultats sont cohérents avec la littérature mettant en évidence le rôle des produits de maquillage et de soin dans l’appréciation de soi et le bien-être psychologique, et le rôle du maquillage en particulier dans la gestion des impressions renvoyées à autrui et l’expression d’une identité adaptée au contexte social. L’usage des produits de soin en particulier fait appel à des thématiques liées au vieillissement de l’apparence et au bien-être corporel. Cette première étude souligne le rôle du niveau d’information et de la confiance dans la perception des risques liés à l’usage de maquillage et de soin. Différents facteurs de risques perçus sont identifiés, tels que la composition des produits ou la perception du respect des normes de production. La seconde étude est un questionnaire en ligne, administré à 1274 participantes. Les données sont analysées via une modélisation par équations structurales. L’analyse des données indique des effets positifs des normes subjectives, de l’internalisation générale des standards de beauté, et de la saillance motivationnelle (dimension de l’investissement de l’apparence), ainsi qu’un effet négatif de la saillance auto-évaluative (dimension de l’investissement de l’apparence) et de l’âge, sur l’usage des produits de maquillage. L’usage des produits de soin est influencé positivement par l’âge, l’anxiété liée au vieillissement de l’apparence, les normes subjectives, l’internalisation générale des standards et la saillance motivationnelle, et influencé négativement par la saillance auto-évaluative. En outre, les analyses révèlent un effet négatif des croyances fatalistes, du niveau de connaissance subjectif et de la confiance (en la préoccupation des scientifiques et de l’industrie cosmétique envers la santé des usagers et l’environnement) sur la perception des risques liés à l’usage de produits de maquillage et de soin. Elles indiquent un effet significatif positif de la confiance (en l’honnêteté des scientifiques et de l’industrie cosmétique) sur la perception des bénéfices liés à l’usage de produits de maquillage et de soin, et une relation positive entre cette perception des bénéfices et l’usage des produits. Enfin, ce travail doctoral discute ces résultats au regard de la littérature et présente un ensemble de perspectives envisagées pour investiguer les questions de l’usage et de la perception des produits de maquillage et de soin de façon approfondie
Cosmetic make-up and skincare products are an integral part of many people’s lifes. Moreover, it can be seen as a source of well-being. Despite the considerable consumption of these products, and their social and health implications, few studies have looked into the motivations and disincentives underlying the use of make-up products. Furthermore, even fewer studies tap into the motivations and disincentives underlying the use of skincare products. Little research has been carried out assessing people's perceptions of products and the risks associated with their use. This doctoral project aims to explore this under-investigated field of research, with two objectives. Firstly, we aimed to study make-up and skincare product usage behavior, in relation to appearance and socio-cultural influence. The second aim was to identify the determinants of risk perception linked to the use of make-up and skincare products. Additionally, we aimed to study the risk perception in relation to the perception of benefits and product use, among a non-expert population. To this end, two studies were carried out among French women of legal age. In the first exploratory study, 34 semi-structured interviews were conducted and analyzed using thematic analysis. The results are consistent with the literature highlighting the role of make-up and skincare products in self-appreciation and psychological well-being, and the role of make-up in particular in managing the impressions reflected back to others and expressing an identity adapted to the social context. The use of skincare products in particular calls on themes linked to aging appearance and bodily well-being. This first study highlights the role of knowledge and trust in the perception of risks associated with the use of make-up and skincare products. Various perceived risk factors were identified, such as product composition and perceived compliance with production standards. The second study was an online questionnaire, administered to 1,274 participants. Data was analyzed using structural equation modeling. Data analysis indicates positive effects of subjective norms, general internalization of beauty standards, and motivational salience (appearance investment dimension), as well as a negative effect of self-evaluative salience (appearance investment dimension) and age, on make-up product use. The use of skincare products was positively influenced by age, anxiety about aging appearance, subjective norms, general internalization of standards and motivational salience, and negatively influenced by self-evaluative salience. In addition, the analyses revealed a negative effect of fatalistic beliefs, subjective knowledge level, and trust (in the concern of scientists and the cosmetics industry for the health of users and the environment) on the perception of risks associated with the use of make-up and skincare products. The analyses indicated a significant positive effect of trust (in the honesty of scientists and the cosmetics industry) on the perception of benefits linked to the use of make-up and skincare products, and a positive relationship between this perception of benefits and product use. Finally, this doctoral work discusses these results in relation to the literature, and presents a set of perspectives envisaged for investigating the issues of make-up and skincare product use and perception in depth

Abstract:
No presente trabalho foram estudadas as separações de 18 flavonóides (9 agliconas e 9 glicosídeos) pelas técnicas de Cromatografia Líquida de Alta Eficiência em fase reversa (RP-HPLC) e Cromatografia Micelar Eletrocinética em fluxo reverso (RF-Meck). Em ambas as técnicas foram avaliados solventes puros (metanol, acetonitrila e tetrahidrofurano) e suas misturas como formas de promover a variação de seletividade, através da modificação da fase móvel em HPLC, e da natureza do aditivo orgânico em RF-Meck. Nos estudos efetuados em HPLC utilizando-se gradiente, pode-se comprovar a possibilidade da modelagem do fator de retenção em funçã da proporção de solvente utilizados (MeOH, ACN, THF e suas misturas). Pode-se ainda, com base nos dados de retenção e na análise hierárquica de c1usters, diferenciar quatro diferentes grupos de sistemas cromatográficos com diferentes seletividades para flavonóides agliconas, e outros quatro com diferentes seletividades para glicosídeos. Os sistemas cromatográficos mais ortogonais (cada um pertencente a um grupo de seletividade) foram aplicados na separação de uma planta modelo (Azadirachta indica), de onde pode-se escolher a fase móvel mais seletiva para se otimizar a separação dos flavonóides glicosilados presentes nas folhas desta planta. No método final otimizado pode-se identificar e quantificar cinco dos flavonóides majoritários presentes, sendo três glicosídeos de quercetina (rutina, isoquercitrina e quercitrina) e dois glicosídeos de kaempferol (astragalin e nicotiflorin), em amostras de duas diferentes procedências (Piracicaba-SP e Silvânia-GO). Nos estudos envolvendo a separação dos dezoito flavonóides por RFMEKC pode-se comprovar diferenças significativas de seletividade quando se varia a natureza do solvente orgânico utilizado como aditivo, além de se observar tendências na migração em função das propriedades do solvente adicionado e da estrutura molecular do flavonóide. O solvente de menor eficiência para separação dos flavonóides foi o MeOH. Através da análise dos eletroferogramas obtidos através de um planejamento experimental de misturas, e das trocas de pares críticos observadas nos vários eletrólitos utilizados, obteve-se um método de separação com apenas um par crítico em menos de 12 minutos de corrida. O coeficiente de variação obtido para o fator de retenção foi de 1,5% e para área de 3%, considerando-se cinco injeções. O método desenvolvido foi aplicado com sucesso na identificação dos flavonóides majoritários presentes na planta modelo (Neem), obtendo-se o mesmo resultado do estudo anterior. Como forma de avaliar a concentração de flavonóides totais presentes em espécies vegetais é comum a análise de extratos após hidrólise ácida (conversão de todos glicosídeos em agliconas). Desta forma otimizou-se uma metodologia de separação em RP-HPLC de 8 flavonóides agliconas comumente presentes em alimentos e extratos vegetais de uso cosmético. A otimização foi efetuada mediante um planejamento experimental de misturas, para escolha da fase móvel mais seletiva, e de um planejamento fatorial composto central, para otimização das condições de gradiente. O método obtido foi o mais rápido já visto dentro da literatura consultada. A separação em linha de base foi efetuada em menos de 15 minutos, com coeficientes de variação de área entre 0,1 e 1,8%, coeficiente de correlação de 0,9993 a 0,9994 na faixa de 5 a 100 µg/mL, e limites de quantificação estimados na faixa de 0,1 a 0,21µg/mL. O método desenvolvido foi aplicado na otimização das condições de hidrólise de um extrato de Neem. A otimização foi efetuada através de metodologia de superfície de resposta, levando-se em consideração a concentração de ácido adicionada, o tempo de reação, a temperatura, e a concentração de um antioxidante (ácido ascórbico) adicionado. O resultado da otimização foi uma metodologia de hidrólise com tempo de reação igual a 5 minutos, utilizando-se 1,4 mol/L de HCI, 119°C e 500 µg/mL de ácido ascórbico. Através das metodologias de análise e de hidrólise desenvolvidas pode-se constatar a presença e quantificar no extrato de Neem os flavonóides agliconas quercetina, kaempferol e miricetina. Com o objetivo de se avaliar quais os componentes presentes em extratos vegetais são os responsáveis pelo poder antioxidante atribuído a determinadas plantas, foi montado um sistema de avaliação de poder antioxidante \"on-line\" com reação pós-coluna em HPLC (baseado na literatura) utilizando-se como \"radical livre modelo\" o ABTS. A análise da planta modelo (Neem) neste sistema mostrou que os flavonóides glicosilados identificados nas partes anteriores deste trabalho são os responsáveis pelo poder antioxidante atribuído a esta planta. De posse desta informação, e visando a obtenção de extratos para aplicações cosméticas com poder antioxidante, modelou-se a extração dos flavonóide do Neem em função da composição do solvente extrator (água, etanol , propilenoglicol e suas misturas), de acordo com um planejamento simplex centróide ampliado. Além da previsão da concentração dos princípios ativos pode-se ainda prever outras propriedades dos extratos obtidos, tais como, índice de refração e densidade, muitas vezes constituintes de especificações técnicas de acordo com as aplicações a que se destinam (cremes, xampús, etc).
At this work, separation of 18 flavonoids (9 aglycones and 9 glycosides) using High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) and Reduced Flow Micellar Electrokinetic Chromatography (RF-MEKC) were evaluated. For both techniques, pure solvents (methanol, acetonitrile and tetrahydrofuran) e their mixtures were evaluated as an approach of varying selectivity by changing mobile phase in HPLC and organic additive type in RF-MEKC. For HPLC studies using gradient elution, it was possible to guarantee the modeling for retention factor in function of organic solvent used (methanol, acetonitrile and tetrahydrofuran and theirs mixtures). It can be also confirmed, based on retention data and hierarquical clusters analysis, four different chromatographic groups with different selectivity for flavonoid aglycone, and four groups with different selectivity for glycosides. More orthogonal chromatographic systems (each one belonging to a selectivity group) were applied to Neem (Azadirachta Indica) analysis. From this study, it can be chosen the most selective mobile phase composition and optimize flavonoid glycosides separation present at Neem leaves. Applying optimized method, five major flavonoids can be identified and quantified, three quercetin glycosides (rutin, isoquercitrin and quercitrin) and two kaempferol glycosides (astragalin and nicotiflorin), at two samples from different origins (Piracicaba-SP and Silvânia-GO). For studies regarding eighteen flavonoids separation by RF-MEKC can be proved significant selectivity differences when distinct organic solvent are used as additive. Moreover, it can be noted tendencies in migration behaviour depending of solvent used and molecular structure of flavonoids. The solvent with less efficiency to f/avonoid separation is methanol. Analyzing electropherograms obtained by a design of mixtures and by criticai pairs changes observed in diverse electro/ytes, a separation method with only one criticai pair and 12 minutes run was obtained. Coefficient of variation obtained for retention factor was 1.5% and 3% for area (n=5). Developed method was applied to identify major flavonoids at model plant (Neem) and same results observed at previous work were obtained. In order to evaluate total flavonoid concentration present in a plant is a common approach to analyse extracts after acid hydrolyze (convert ali glycosides to aglycones). A method was optimized to separate 8 flavonoid aglicones by RPHPLC usually present in food and vegetal extracts to cosmetic use. Optimization was performed by a mixture factorial design to select the most selective mobile phase composition and one facto ria I design with central point to optimize gradient parameters. Developed methodology is the faster reported in literature until now. Baseline separation was achieved in less than 15 minutes, with coefficients of variation between 0.1 and 1.8%, correlation coefficient from 0,9993 to 0,9994 at 5-100 µg/mL concentration range and quantification limits from 0.1 to 0.21 µg/mL. Developed method was used to optimize hydrolize parameters for a Neem extract. Optimization was realized by a response surface methodology, having concentration of acid added, reaction time, temperature and antioxidant (ascorbic acid) concentration added as parameters. From this study was developed a hydrolyze methodology with 5 minutes of reaction time, using 1.4 mol/L HCI, 119°C and 500 µg/mL of ascorbic acid. Applying method of analysis and hydrolyze developed at Neem extracts it can be identified and quantified aglicones quercetin, kaempferol and miricetin. Aiming to evaluate which compounds in a vegetal extract have antioxidant activity credited to some plants, an on-line system with post-column reaction was built in HPLC (based on literature), using ABTS as free radical mode!. Neem analysis at this system showed that flavonoid glycosides identified before are the responsible for antioxidant activity described for this plant. Based on this information and intending to obtain vegetal extracts with antioxidant activity for cosmetic use, Neem extraction procedure was modeled in function of solvent mixture used (water, ethanol, propylene glycol and their mixtures), following a simplex centroid designo Besides the concentration of active components prediction it can also be predict other properties like refractive index and density, properties that might be included at technical specifications depending of the intended use (creams, shampoos, etc).

Abstract:
Xanthan gum belongs to the category of naturally occurring exo-polysaccharide which owes its origin from the well-known bacterium Xanthomonas campestris. Its structure comprises D-Glucose, D-Mannose and D-Glucuronic acid units with a ratio of 2:2:1. Its use has been increased in day-to-day life and the present scenario shows its wide application, be it a food or non-food application. It is the constituent of more than 90% of the cosmetic products used in daily life. Along with this, its use as an adsorbent has also increased widely and it has imprinted its identity in the field of wastewater treatment, dye removal and drug delivery. This review covers the method of its production and applications in different fields such as food, industries, agriculture, and cosmetics.

Abstract:
Cosmetic area has increased worldwide and will continue to expand as long as there are users. At the moment, the interest leads towards cosmetics based on natural ingredients. A common aesthetic problem for majority of the people is represented by dark circles which appear in the infraorbital region. The purpose of this work was to prepare and analyze new cosmetics based on collagen and caffeine with antimicrobial activity that can be used for the treatment of dark circles. The obtained cosmetics are stable at the natural pH of the skin, indicating that new products can be securely used. Images from the optical microscopy evaluation revealed that cosmetics have a soft and foam like appearance. All the obtained cosmetics present excellent stability at 4 and 40°C. The antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was also performed showing that the cream with collagen hydrolysate and smallest amount of caffeine is the most efficient Some more analysis need to be performed before notification.

Abstract:
Background: Surfactants best known for their use in the industry of detergents, household products, and cosmetics. Usually, the amount of released surfactants into the environment is diluted during secondary water treatment. However, there is always a risk of releasing untreated and polluted wastewater containing high amounts of surfactants without knowing the harmful effect on biotic and abiotic elements of the environment. SAPDMA is a surfactant that is used mostly in cosmetics, conditioning agents, and recently in corrosion inhibition. The classification of SAPDMA as a “safe” or “green” surfactant by different environment or chemical agencies is ambiguous, and the literature is lacking. Aim: The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety of SAPDMAusing the zebrafish embryo model. Methods: Zebrafish embryos were exposed to different concentrations of SAPDMA and the effect was assessed by different toxicity assays. This includes mortality/ survival assay to assess the median lethal dose (LC50) teratogenicity assay to assess the no observed effect concentration (NOEC); and organ specific toxicity assays including cardiotoxicity, neurotoxicity (using locomotion assay), and hemoglobin synthesis (using odianisidine staining). Results: Exposure of zebrafish embryos to SAPDMA caused mortality in a dose-dependent manner with a calculated LC50 of 2.3 mg/L. Thus, based on the LC50 value and according to the Fish and Wildlife Service Acute Toxicity Rating Scale, SAPDMA is classified as “moderately toxic”. The NOEC, the concentration that did not cause any significant teratogenicity, was 0.1mg/L. However, this concentration caused significant organ specific and cytotoxic effects, suggesting that harmless concentrations of SAPDMAare lower than 0.1 mg/L. Conclusion: Our data indicate that SAPDMA at very low concentrations causes adverse effects on zebrafish embryos. Thus, we recommend that the use of SAPDMA in industry should be re-evaluated and monitored by the environment and public health agencies.

Abstract:
Boswellia resins are described in numerous ancient texts and have been an important trade material for the civilizations located in the Arabian Peninsula and North Africa since at least the third millennium BCE. Frankincense (olibanum) is an exudate that seeps from injured bark of Boswellia species (Burseraceae). The oleogum resin obtained from Boswellia serrata is called Indian frankincense and is used in the Ayurvedic, Siddha, and Unani systems of traditional medicine. Additionally, its extracts and essential oils are used in soaps, cosmetics, foods, beverages, and incense products. This Laboratory Guidance Document aims to review the analytical methods used to authenticate natural oleogum resin from B. serrata and differentiate it from other Boswellia species, as well as other potential adulterants. This document can be used in conjunction with the B. serrata Botanical Adulterants Prevention Bulletin published by the ABC-AHP-NCNPR Botanical Adulterants Prevention Program in 2018.1 From a historical perspective, a number of oleogum resins from Boswellia species have been used interchangeably for medicinal purposes around the world, and older “olibanum” pharmacopeial monographs consider more than one species as officially acceptable. Such interchangeable use is still observed today as several Boswellia species are offered as frankincense.2,3 However, Western botanical dietary supplements and the herbal medicine markets are dominated by products labeled to contain B. serrata, irrespective of whether a formal identification of the ingredient has been performed or not. Therefore, this laboratory guidance document has been written to help laboratory analysts to find appropriate analytical methods that allow the unambiguous identification of B. serrata oleogum resin and its extracts.

Abstract:
Lavender oil obtained from the flowers of English lavender (Lavandula angustifolia Mill., Lamiaceae) is widely used in the production of fragrances, cosmetics, food, beverage products, and pharmaceuticals. The essential oil (EO) is used orally, by inhalation as a sleep aid, and can be applied topically for skin treatment. Adulteration of lavender oil is considered to be widespread due to high product demand and lower prices for chemically similar EOs and compounded fragrances. Some of the known adulterants are EOs from spike lavender (Lavandula latifolia Medik.) or lavandin (Lavandula × intermedia Emeric ex Loisel, syn. Lavandula angustifolia Mill. × Lavandula latifolia Medik.), vegetable oils, glycols, and naturally occurring volatile compounds from lower-cost sources (linalool, linalyl acetate, lavandulyl acetate). This Laboratory Guidance Document (LGD) presents a review of various analytical methods used to detect adulteration of EO of English lavender with lavandin, spike lavender, linalool and linalyl acetate-rich EOs, terpenes, and other chemicals. This document can be used in conjunction with the “Adulteration of English Lavender (Lavandula angustifolia) EO Botanical Adulterants Prevention Bulletin” published by the ABC-AHP-NCNPR Botanical Adulterants Prevention Program in 2020.

Abstract:
Objectives. To evaluate the comparative effectiveness and harms of partial breast irradiation (PBI) compared with whole breast irradiation (WBI) for early-stage breast cancer, and how differences in effectiveness and harms may be influenced by patient, tumor, and treatment factors, including treatment modality, target volume, dose, and fractionation. We also evaluated the relative financial toxicity of PBI versus WBI. Data sources. MEDLINE®, Embase®, Cochrane Central Registrar of Controlled Trials, Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, Scopus, and various grey literature sources from database inception to June 30, 2022. Review methods. We included randomized clinical trials (RCTs) and observational studies that enrolled adult women with early-stage breast cancer who received one of six PBI modalities: multi-catheter interstitial brachytherapy, single-entry catheter brachytherapy (also known as intracavitary brachytherapy), 3-dimensional conformal external beam radiation therapy (3DCRT), intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT), proton radiation therapy, intraoperative radiotherapy (IORT). Pairs of independent reviewers screened and appraised studies. Results. Twenty-three original studies with 17,510 patients evaluated the comparative effectiveness of PBI, including 14 RCTs, 6 comparative observational studies, and 3 single-arm observational studies. PBI was not significantly different from WBI in terms of ipsilateral breast recurrence (IBR), overall survival, or cancer-free survival at 5 and 10 years (high strength of evidence [SOE]). Evidence for cosmetic outcomes was insufficient. Results were generally consistent when PBI modalities were compared with WBI, whether compared individually or combined. These PBI approaches included 3DCRT, IMRT, and multi-catheter interstitial brachytherapy. Compared with WBI, 3DCRT showed no difference in IBR, overall survival, or cancer-free survival at 5 and 10 years (moderate to high SOE); IMRT showed no difference in IBR or overall survival at 5 and 10 years (low SOE); multi-catheter interstitial brachytherapy showed no difference in IBR, overall survival, or cancer-free survival at 5 years (low SOE). Compared with WBI, IORT was associated with a higher IBR rate at 5, 10, and over 10 years (high SOE), with no difference in overall survival, cancer-free survival, or mastectomy-free survival (low to high SOE). There were significantly fewer acute adverse events (AEs) with PBI compared with WBI, with no apparent difference in late AEs (moderate SOE). Data about quality of life were limited. Head-to-head comparisons between the different PBI modalities showed insufficient evidence to estimate an effect on main outcomes. There were no significant differences in IBR or other outcomes according to patient, tumor, and treatment characteristics; however, data for subgroups were insufficient to draw conclusions. Eight studies addressed concepts closely related to financial toxicity. Compared with conventionally fractionated WBI, accelerated PBI was associated with lower transportation costs and days away from work. PBI was also associated with less subjective financial difficulty at various time points after radiotherapy. Conclusions. Clinical trials that compared PBI with WBI demonstrate no significant difference in the risk of IBR. PBI is associated with fewer acute AEs and may be associated with less financial toxicity. The current evidence supports the use of PBI in appropriately selected patients with early-stage breast cancer. Further investigation is needed to evaluate the outcomes of PBI in patients with various clinical and tumor characteristics, and to define optimal radiation treatment dose and technique for PBI.
