One experiment has shown that strawberry extract added to skin cell culture acts as UV radiation protection, as well as increasing its activity and reducing DNA damage The team, made up of Italian and Spanish researchers, opened the door to using strawberries to develop sunscreen "We have demonstrated the protective effect of strawberry extract on skin cells from UVA radiation," explained Maurizio battino The results were published in the Journal of Agrofood chemistry The team prepared human skin cell cultures (fibrocytes) and added different concentrations of strawberry extract (0.05, 0.25 and 0.5 mg / ml), the only difference being to control the amount of extract Using ultraviolet light is equivalent to 90 minutes of sun exposure at noon in livieira, France The data confirmed that strawberry extract, especially at the concentration of 0.5mg/ml, showed light protective properties to the fiber cells exposed to UVA rays, which increased the cell viability and reduced DNA damage compared with the control cells.
