Ethnobotany of traditional vegetables used by Sama-Bajau community in Kota Belud, Sabah, and phytochemical and anti-aging investigation of crassocephalum crepidioides

Recording of traditional knowledge (TK) on ethnobotany could be a useful tool to discover new alternative for antioxidant and anti-aging agent from local vegetables. The objectives of this study were: to record ethnobotany of traditional vegetables (ulam) as aging prevention materials, to investigat...

The objectives of this study were: to record ethnobotany of traditional vegetables (ulam) as aging prevention materials, to investigate phytochemical, antioxidant, and anti-aging content of Crassocephalum crepidioides, to determine the anti-aging activity and postulate the efficacy of the selected C. crepidioides extracts (CCE) against the effect of induced UVB radiation in human dermal cells line (HSF1184).
