Assay Method Information

Assay Name:  Tyrosinase Inhibition Assay
Description:  Briefly, mushroom tyrosinase (1250 units/mL) and 2 mM L-tyrosine (0.07 mL) were added to a solution of phosphate buffer (0.1 M, pH 6.8, 0.09 mL) containing the test sample. The test mixture (0.2 mL) was incubated for 10 min at 37°C and the absorption due to the formation of dopachrome was monitored at 475 nm. The same mixture except for the plant extract was used as a control. Arbutin (hydroquinone-O-β-glucopyranoside) was used as a positive control. Each treatment was replicated three times.
