In this study, extracts from the Green ball apple peel (GBE) and the newly bred green ball apple from Korea showed inhibition effects on photo-aging factor regulation associated with skin aging. To investigate the inhibition effect on photo-aging factor regulation in skin, GBE was treated with UVB to induce photo-aging related factors in CCD986sk fibroblast cells. Photo-aging factor regulation effects showed that GBE inhibited UVB-stimulated matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-1 and MMP-9 protein synthesis in collagen type I alpha 2 chain (COL1A2), MMP-1, MMP-9, and tissue inhibitors of metalloproteinase (TIMP)-1 protein expression. The expression of COL1A2 and TIMP-1 protein was significantly increased. The mRNA expression levels of COL1A2, MMP-1, MMP-9, hyaluronan synthase (HAS)2, transforming growth factor (TGF)-β, and TIMP-1 were decreased by GBE. The expression of TIMP-1 and TGF-β, which are regulators involved in matrix metalloproteinase and type I procollagen expression, was found to increase with increasing expression of COL1A2. The expression of HAS2, which is involved in the production of hyaluronic acid, one of the structural proteins constituting the skin, was also confirmed. Therefore, GBE showed excellent efficacy against photo-aging factor regulation and could be used as functional material to prevent and treat skin aging.

In this study, the anti-oxidative, health functional, and beauty food activities of water and ethanol extracts from newly bred Ruby S apple (Malus pumila Mill.). The results of measuring the 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl radical scavenging activity by treating the phenolic compound with thinning green ball apple at a concentration of 50-200 ㎍/mL showed that the water and ethanol extracts at a concentration of 200 ㎍/mL showed 94.69 and 92.24%, respectively. 2,2'-Azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical scavenging activities showed 100.30 and 99.16%, respectively, in 200 ㎍/mL of water and ethanol extracts. The water and ethanol extracts of Green ball showed antioxidant protection factor of 1.76 PF 1.76, respectively. The water and ethanol extracts showed 101.46 and 99.64% anti-oxidative effect on thiobarbituric acid reactive substances at phenolic concentration of 200 ㎍/mL. The water and ethanol extracts showed 33.28 and 32.14% hyaluronidase inhibition, respectively, at phenolic concentration of 150 ㎍/mL. The water and ethanol extracts showed 47.33 and 40.92% elastase inhibition and 46.19 and 65.58% collagenase inhibition at phenolic concentration of 200 ㎍/mL, respectively. About these experiments, thinning Green ball apple was found to exhibit anti-oxidation activity as well as hyaluronidase, elastase and collagenase inhibitory activities. Therefore, thinning Green ball apple can be considered a potential sources for new functional materials.
