Abstract

This article explores the capacity of absorption in the UV region of some extracts that are produced from some fruits along with certain oils and titanium dioxide. Given that the absorption characteristics of the titanium dioxide in the UV region are well known, the study is focused on showing how to improve the absorption property in the UV region of the anatase by adding an organic component, which was obtained from the peels of some fruits. The evaluation was done by spectrophotometry, which helped to identify significant absorption properties (compared to commercial sunscreens) of the extracts produced from tree tomato and orange with ethanol as solvent.
