| Abstract | The cleaning property of mucilage from the leaves of Litsea glutinosa (Lour.) C.B. Robinson (Lauraceae) and itsability to promote hair growth were investigated. Mucilage was obtained by boiling dried leaves and was spray dried to result inthe powder form. The cleaning property was investigated by examining the surface tension of the mucilage using a du No?y ringtensiometer. Mucilage powder appeared to reduce water surface tension to a minimum value of 44. 95 mN/ m when theconcentration of mucilage was increased to 20% (v/v) (equivalent to 460 ?g/ml). A similar result was observed from mucilage inits original liquid form. The hair growth modulating effect of mucilage was determined on human hair follicle dermal papilla(HFDP) cell lines using the MTT assay. Prominent cell proliferation was observed at a concentration of 250 ?g/ml of mucilageafter 24 h in culture (a 1.4-fold increase compared to the control). |
