The effect of the apple polyphenol extract

The polyphenol compounds refers to the compounds which contain several phenolic hydroxyl. Polyphenol materials widely exist in apples, grapes, blueberry, and green tea。Its basic function is “three anti and one pro”, that is anti- oxidize, anti- tumor, anti- radiation, and promote the effect and result of chemotherapy.

The effect of the apple polyphenol

Studies of  French therapists show that apples richly contain polysaccharide pectin and apple polyphenol, which can effectively reduce cholesterol in blood and the viscidity of blood. Apple polyphenol can also prevent hardening of the coronary artery, hypertension and so on. Modern clinical studies prove that the most obvious characteristics of the polyphenol compounds is that they can effectively clear away peroxyl. Because apple polyphenol which contains epicatechin （EGCg） and catechin (ECg） can control Angiotensin Catalyze Emzyme (ACE)，it is used to prevent high blood pressure and the shrink of the blood vessel. Those who have high blood pressure and high blood fat can take it for a long time. Apple polyphenol can also control the growth of the tumour. Epicatechin and procyanidin B2 are the chief components of the apple polyphenol compounds which function as astringent. If apple polyphenol is added into cosmetic, it can prevent the absorption of ultraviolet ray, resist oxidation, fight against aging, give nutrition to the skin and increase the effect of whitening.

Apple polyphenol can control the breeding of the cancel cell, which has been proved by the animal experiments in Hirosaki University of Japan. Experimenting with the rats, they found that apple polyphenol has a good effect in the rate of living and control the breeding of the cancel cells and in prohibiting the carcinogenecity of carcinogens like Benzpyrene.

Campare the oxidation resistancebetween the apple polyphenol extract and other natural extracts

A lot of experiments also prove that at present apple polyphenol has the best ability to clear peroxyl, and its clear rate can reach 98%. Apple polyphenol can activate the enzymatic system such as SOD inside the body anti- oxidize system and improve the body immunity. All the experiments show that the average live span of the animal which took apple polyphenol extract can extend by 36.1% to 49.9%. Its ability of anti- oxidize and anti-aging is 27 times stronger than Vitamin E and over 20 times stronger than Vitamin C.

   Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity：ORAC analysis is a method to measure how the antioxidant fight against oxide isolation. The higher Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity is, the stronger the ability of anti-oxidize is. Apple polyphenol extract of Shanghai Cantin Biotechnology Co., Ltd scored 17,455 in ORAC analysis in the American laboratory, which is the highest value of all natural anti-oxidize extracts at present market.

The components and physicochemical characters of apple polyphenol extract

1. Physicochemicalcharacters: light brownish red powder, contain over 70% polyphenol (Folin-C method), its 20%aqueous solution is henna, entirely dissolvein water, no deposit, the liquid is clear and transparent, can be fully absorbed by human bodies. Apple polyphenol powder has slight fragrance of apple, a little bitter, but the degree of bitter taste is only one third or one fifth of apple polyphenol extract. The main components of Apple polyphenol powder are dimmer, trimmer, almost no polymer.

2. Acid-proof, heat resisting, lightfastness, good stability, long-term preservation

The foreground of apple polyphenol extract

  Apple polyphenol extract can resist oxidation, remove smell, keep fresh, keep sweet-smelling, keep colours, and prevent loss of vitamins. Because it can prevent the food to go bad, it can be widely used at fishery operation, meat product, bread, cakes, oil-containing food, drinks and so on. It can improve the quality of the products and prolong guarantee period. Experiments show that it can protect the teeth, having the effect to prevent dental caries viruses glucosylase, so it can be added to candies and toothpastes to prevent sensitivity, tumor, gene mutation. If it is added into the cosmetic, it has the effect of anti-oxidation, anti-aging, skin-whitening.

   Because apple polyphenol extract has so many unique advantages, Companies in Europe, America, and Japan have tried to develop products from it. Apple polyphenol extract is very healthy and safe because it comes from the apples. When we search in the international articles, no one is reported to get poisoned by eating apples in the world.
