The study was aimed at investigating the antimelanogenic and antioxidative effects of Bifidobacterium infantis culture filtrate. The efficacy of the bacterial culture filtrate was evaluated spectrophotometrically. The results revealed that B. infantis culture filtrate effectively scavenge 2,2-diphenyl-1-picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH) and 2,2'-azino-bis(3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid) ABTS radicals, and show potent reducing power in a dose-dependent pattern. Additionally, the bacterial culture filtrate suppresses murine B16F10 tyrosinase activity and the amount of melanin in a dose-dependent manner. We conclude that the B. infantis culture filtrate may be applied in the formulations of skin care cosmetics.
