Inhibitory Mechanism of Camellia oleifera Shell Extract on Tyrosinase

Abstract

Objective: To explore the inhibitory effect of Camellia oleifera shell extract on tyrosinase, to determine the type of inhibition, to preliminarily explore the inhibition mechanism, and to determine its active components. Method: Using L-tyrosine and L-DOPA as substrates, respectively, the inhibitory effects of Camellia oleifera shell extract on tyrosinase monophenolase activity and diphenolase activity were determined. The Lineweaver-Burk double-reciprocal plot method was used to explore the inhibition mechanism, and the contents of total polyphenols and flavonoids in Camellia oleifera
