Complex multiple emulsions have an excellent ability to fill large volumes of functional cosmetic agents. This study was aimed to encapsulate large volume of green tea in classical multiple emulsion and to compare its stability with a multiple emulsion without green tea extract. Multiple emulsions were developed using Cetyl dimethicone copolyol as lipophilic emulsifier and classic polysorbate-80 as hydrophilic emulsifier. Multiple emulsions were evaluated for various physicochemical aspects like conductivity, pH, microscopic analysis, rheology and these characteristics were followed for a period of 30 days in different storage conditions. In vitro and in vivo skin protection tests were also performed for both kinds of multiple emulsions i.e. with active (MeA) and without active (MeB). Both formulations showed comparable characteristics regarding various physicochemical characteristics in different storage conditions. Rheological analysis showed that formulations showed pseudo plastic behavior upon continuous shear stress. Results of in vitro and in vivo skin protection data have revealed that the active formulation has comparable skin protection effects to that of control formulation. It was presumed that stable multiple emulsions could be a promising choice for topical application of green tea but multiple emulsions presented in this study need improvement in the formula, concluded on the basis of pH, conductivity and apparent viscosity data.

Abstract Prevention of skin aging and its treatment is an emerging field for development of new formulations in cosmetics. Accordingly, plant extracts with antioxidant properties are beneficial cosmetic ingredients for this purpose. This study was aimed at developing a stable and easily manufactured emulgel including green tea extract and rose oil that is effective on the barrier function and hydration of the skin. An emulgel formulation containing 20 % green tea extract and 5 % rose oil was designed as a result of pre-formulation studies. Physicochemical characterization, in vitro stability studies, in vivo water content of the stratum corneum and transepidermal water loss studies were carried out afterwards. In vivo studies on ten female subjects were evaluated by using non-invasive skin bioengineering techniques. Finally, a cosmetically acceptable, stable and effective emulgel formulation for skin barrier function with good hydrating properties was obtained for skin hydration, protection and anti-aging purposes.

The prevalence of colibasillosis  in chicken farms in Indonesia is very high, treatment using antibiotics is experiencing resistance, so it is necessary to look for alternatives to antibacterial. The study was aimed to determine the antibacterial effect of green tea leaf extract on broiler chickens infected with Eschericia coli by looking at the score of macroscopic lesions strengthened by histopathological examination, heterophile examination, plasma protein and fibrinogen. The research used 20 day old broilers (DOC) which were randomly divided into 4 groups, group A group B, group C and group D, each consisting of 5 DOC broilers. While maintaining ND and Gumboro vaccines on schedule like maintenance in general. At the age of 21 days all broilers in each group began to be treated as controls (Group A) without infecting E. coli and were not given 0,1g/ml  water extract of green tea leaves (Camillia sinensis). Group B, intratracheal-infected broilers with local strains of E.coli were 108 cells / ml according to 0,5  Mc Farland standard, and were not given green tea leaf extract. Group C, broilers infected by intratracheal with local strains of E. coli 108 cells / ml by 0,5 Mc Farland standard, and given to drink green tea leaf extract (Camillia sinensis) 0,1 g/ml and group D, broilers were given drinking green tea leaf extract (Camillia sinensis) 0,1g/ml. During the treatment all of chickens were given food and drink ad libitum. Fourteen days after infection of E.coli, 5 chickens in each group were collected to collect blood for heterophyll, total plasma protein (TPP) and fibrinogen. And then were euthanasied  with Mg SO4 saturated solution intravenously injection and necropsied  for gross and histpathological examination. Analysis of blood tests results were used one way of anova  (SPSS version 22 program), whereas for gross and histopathological examination with descriptive analysis. The results showed that the gross examination and histopathological organs of brolier infected with E. coli without being given a green tea extract experienced airsacculitis, pericarditis, perihepatitis and peritonitis, whereas broilers infected with E. coli and given green tea extract does not indicate the presence of inflammation. Examination of heterophile counts and blood fibrinogen levels had shown a difference (P <0.05), in broilers infected with E. coli and given green tea extracts had lower amounts of hetrophils and fibrinogen levels. While blood TPP levels were not significantly different (P> 0.05). The conclusion can be drawn, that the study of in vivo green tea extract (Camelia sinensis) 0,1g/ml has the potential to inhibit the infection of Eschericia coli bacteria in broiler chickens.

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate in vitro and in vivo behavior of the prepared ethosomal formulations of green tea extract, which in turn would result in enhancing their therapeutic efficacy as antioxidants and thermogenic agents in obese mice. Methods: Fat Wistar rats were acclimated for at least 7 d in environmentally controlled cages, then they were divided into five groups: 1st received only distilled water, 2nd received an oral dose of green tea extract, in 3rd group green tea extract loaded gel base was applied on the previously shaven dorsal side of rats and in the other 2 groups selected green tea extract loaded Ethosomal gel base were applied on the previously shaven dorsal side of rats. Total antioxidant capacity by ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP) method, catalase enzyme activity, malondialdehyde (MDA) and thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARs) levels, and real-time qPCR of UCP2 and 3 were then determined. Results: Formulation of green tea extract as ethosomal preparations exhibited a controlled release rate due to the reservoir action of ethosomes. The levels of TBARs and MDA were lower in groups supplemented with green tea extracts compared to control group and in groups (3-5) received it transdermal (P<0.0001 in all 3 groups) was lower than group received it orally with P = 0.0081. The messenger RNA levels of UCPs 2 and 3 in BAT were increased in those 3 groups. Conclusion: The results support the efficiency of ethosomal gel in penetrating the lipid rich biological membrane. The in vivo study confirms the antioxidant and thermogenic behavior of transdermal applied green tea extract.
