This research was to investigate antioxidant and cosmetic effects of various extracts from rapeseed meal. The protein content of rapeseed meal was 40.5%, which was about 2.0 fold higher than that of rapeseed. In the case of carbohydrate, it was 38.9%. A seventeen kinds of amino acid at rapeseed meal was found and the glutamic acid (28.4 mg/g) content was significantly highest, following by glycine, proline, arginine, isoleucine, and aspartic acid. Among various vitamins, the cloline content was the highest (459.1mg/kg), following by niacin, tocopherol, and pantothenic acid. The oleic acid content was the highest (36.7%) among various fatty acids, following by linoleic acid and linolenic acid. Gamma tocopherol and alpha tocopherol contents were 304.9 and 212.2mg/kg, respectively. In the case of delta tocopherol and plastochromanol-8, they were 12.1, and 35.7mg/kg, respectively. The total phenol concent of methanol extract was the highest (49.6mg/g) which was about 4.96 fold higher than that of water extract. DPPH radical scavenging activities of methanol and acetone extract at 2.0 mg/mL were 80.4 and 78.9%, respectively. The methanol and acetone extracts were a stable at the range of pH 3-9. The reducing powers of methanol and acetone extract at 4.0mg/mL were the highest, 0.7 OD 700nm and 0.68 OD 700nm. The nitrite scavenging activities irrespective of extracts at pH 1.2 were at range of 75-80%. However, in the case of above pH 8.0, they were decreased to 5.0%. The maximum nitrite scavenging activities of methanol and acetone extract at 8.0 mg/mL were obtained, 85.2 and 80.1%, respectively. The superoxide inhibition activity of hot water, acetone, and methanol extract at 8.0 mg/mL were 70.2, 75.2, and 81.4%, respectively. The fluids composed of methanol and acetone extracts (0.2%) were stably liquidified and absorbed over the skin, which means good for moisture of skin. These results showed that the methanol and acetone extracts from rapeseed meal can be used as a new source of functional cosmetic material.
