The Feasibility of Utilizing Cultured <i>Cordyceps militaris</i> Residues in Cosmetics: Biological Activity Assessment of Their Crude Extracts

Solid-based residues (SBRs) left from harvesting the fruiting bodies of cultured <i>Cordyceps</i> mushrooms are a challenge to sustainability. Therefore, in this study, the SBRs from the cultivation of <i>Cordyceps militaris</i> (<i>C. militaris</i>) via solid-sta...

Therefore, in this study, the SBRs from the cultivation of <i>Cordyceps militaris</i> (<i>C. militaris</i>) via solid-state fermentation (SSF) were employed to prepare crude extracts, with the aim of considering their possible use in cosmetics. The SBRs obtained from cultivation with solid media containing defatted rice bran mixed with barley, white rice, Riceberry rice, and wheat were named SBR-B, SBR-R, SBR-Rb, and SRB-W, respectively.

The results revealed that the total bioactive contents and biological capacities of crude SBR extracts were significantly influenced by the types of SBR and extraction solvent (<i>p</i> < 0.05). The SBR-B extracted with hot water exhibited the highest antioxidant activity (66.62 ± 2.10, 212.00 ± 3.43, and 101.62 ± 4.42 mg TEAC/g extract) when assayed by DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP methods, respectively, whereas tyrosinase inhibitory activity (51.13 ± 1.11 mg KAE/g extract) with 90.43 ± 1.96% inhibition at 1 mg/mL was excellently achieved by SBR-Rb extracted by 50% (<i>v</i>/<i>v</i>) ethanol. Correlations between bioactive contents in the crude extracts and their biological activities were mostly proven at a strong level (<i>p</i> < 0.01).
