Description

  • General description: Kojic acid, a tyrosinase inhibitor, is produced by several fungi species, including Aspergillus oryzae.[1] It exhibits skin-lightening property, due to its ability to chelate the copper-containing enzyme tyrosinase in the formation of melanin.[2] Kojic acid is also commonly used as a whitening agent in regular cosmetics, bleaching cosmetics, etc.[3] It is found to be a therapeutic agent and helps in preventing pigmentation.[3]
  • Application: Kojic acid may be used as an analytical reference standard for the determination of the analyte in skin whitening cosmetics[2][1] and bleaching cosmetics[3] using high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV).
  • Biochem/physiol Actions: Tyrosinase inhibitor.
