Apple Polyphenols - Powerful Natural Antioxidants

Main

Ingredient

Apple Polyphenols (Apple Polyphenols, AP) is a secondary metabolite produced during the growth of apples, is a brownish-red powdery substance, 20% of the aqueous solution is reddish-brown, 100% of the powder becomes yellowish-brown; the liquid and the powder have a slight apple flavor with a little bit of bitterness, easily soluble in water and ethanol, with good stability.

The polyphenol content of apple varies according to maturity, and the polyphenol content of unripe fruit is 10 times that of ripe fruit, so it is appropriate to extract apple polyphenols using unripe fruit. The main components of chlorogenic acid-based phenolic carboxylic acids about 25%, catechins, epicatechins, gallic acid and other monomers about 15%, rhizopyranoside, rhizopodophyllin, p-coumaric acid, dihydrochalcone, rhizopodophyllin, etc. accounted for 10%, the original anthocyanidins (average relative molecular mass of about 2,000) accounted for about 50%.

Bioactivity

Apple polyphenols have a variety of physiological functions such as scavenging free radicals, antioxidant, cancer prevention, lowering blood pressure, prevention of heart disease, anti-caries, anti-allergy, anti-virus, etc., and its antioxidant capacity is 10-30 times the antioxidant capacity of Vitamin E.

In addition, apple polyphenols have weight loss and whitening effects, and play multiple roles in skin care (e.g., anti-aging, anti-radiation, whitening, moisturizing, and hindering UV absorption).

01

Antioxidant

Studies have shown that

The flavonoid content of apples is positively correlated with the antioxidant properties of polyphenols.

The antioxidant activity of chlorogenic acid and caffeic acid in apple polyphenols

were 2.5 times higher than those of green tea extract.

02

Prevention of cardiovascular diseases

Numerous studies have shown that

intake of flavonoids (mainly quercetin)

is negatively associated with the incidence of stroke.

Intake of catechins and epicatechins

and mortality from coronary heart disease have a significant negative correlation that is

especially in women with coronary heart disease.

03

Anti-caries

Apple polyphenols are 100 times more effective than tea polyphenols in fighting dental caries.

Studies have shown that

apple polyphenols have a significant inhibitory effect on glucosyltransferase, and

and is much greater than tea polyphenols.

Among them, proanthocyanidin mixture (condensed tannin) is the most effective inhibitor.

04

Lipid Lowering

Apple polyphenols are known to inhibit lipase activity.

In addition, clinical trials have shown that

that after ingesting 600 mg of apple polyphenols, the

subjects' blood was examined after a meal, the

blood cholesterol and triglycerides decreased by about 20%.

05

Others

Cancer prevention, blood pressure lowering, anti-aging, anti-inflammatory,

Anti-allergic, anti-hyperglycemic, anti-hepatic fibrosis effects,

Anti-virus and many other physiological functions

Market Application

Studies have shown that apple polyphenols have a variety of physiological functions. Therefore, it has a broad application prospect in the fields of medicine, food and daily chemicals.

Used as raw material for health food - apple polyphenols can improve the vitality of the enzyme free radical scavengers SOD, CAT and GSH-PX in the human body and slow down the aging process. Experiments have confirmed that the average life expectancy of animals taking polyphenols can be extended by 36.1% to 49.9%, and the anti-aging effect of polyphenols is about 18 times higher than that of VE, so polyphenols are mostly developed as anti-aging medical care products.

Used in cosmetics - In the field of cosmetics, polyphenols play a very important role, such as anti-aging, anti-ultraviolet rays, anti-radiation, sunscreen whitening, moisturizing, etc., and have a unique efficacy on skin aging caused by a variety of factors. At present, many internationally recognized brands of cosmetics such as Lancôme, Elizabeth Arden, Goss, Avon, etc. have adopted the active ingredients of plant polyphenols.

The weight loss benefits of apple polyphenols

is also gaining popularity in the market

As people pay more attention to health

and demand for weight loss products

Its figure is also more and more prominent because of its unique advantages
