Centella extract exhibited several potential bioactivities which could be of potential commercial
interest in the food and pharmaceutical industries. Evaluation on Centella has found its chemical
composition consist of four triterpenes, namely madecassoside, asiaticoside, madecassic acid and
asiatic acid. The extract significantly stimulated collagen synthesis, better than vitamin C, and the
lipolysis activity was found to be better than that of caffeine. The extract also showed an inhibitory
effect with regards to free radical scavenging activity, comparable to grape seed extract. This
preliminary UV study suggested that the Centella extract could be a potential natural protection against
UVB damage and this activity might be due to its triterpene component(s). Therefore, further
experiments are required to identify the component(s) responsible
