In vitro cytotoxicity evaluation of the Aronia melanocarpa (Michx.) Elliott. Extract (alone or encapsulated in MCMs) and of the MCMs (10, 50, 100, and 250 µg/mL) on HaCaT human keratinocytes at 24, 48, and 72 h post-treatment by means of an MTT assay. The results are expressed as cell viability percentage (%) related to the control (i.e., the untreated cells). The data represent the mean values ± SD of three independent experiments. One-way ANOVA followed by a Dunnett’s multiple comparison test was used for comparison among groups (*** p < 0.001).
