Abstract
ABSTRACT The effect of quince (Cydonia oblonga Miller) seed mucilage on wound healing was evaluated by monitoring a purposely injured skin area on rabbits. Mucilage, extracted from the quince seeds in moderately warm water, was applied to the wound area twice daily at concentrations of 5, 10, and 15 percent (w/w) of the mucilage in eucerin. Healing, determined by reduction in wound area, was most rapid effective (13 days) in animals treated with 10 percent mucilage. Quince seed mucilage proved to hasten wounds more rapidly than a commercial wound healing cream (1% phenytoin) or eucerin cream without mucilage.
