Pomegranate Peel Extract Powder

What is pomegranate peel extract?

Pomegranate peel extract powder is mainly extracted from the dried peel of pomegranates. The main component is ellagic acid, a polyphenolic compound with multiple biological activities. Ellagic acid is an organic substance. It is a dimeric derivative of gallic acid and a polyphenol dilactone. It can exist not only in free form, but also in condensed form in nature. It is a natural phenolic antioxidant found in many fruits and vegetables, including blackberries, strawberries, pomegranates, wolfberries, raspberries, white oak nuts, cranberries, pecans, etc.

The anti-proliferative and antioxidant properties of ellagic acid have stimulated research on the potential value of ellagic acid. It is a natural polyphenol component in plant tissues. The color reaction of ellagic acid with ferric chloride is blue and with sulfuric acid is yellow. Pomegranate peel is a powerful source of unique polyphenols with a wide range of health benefits, such as promoting healthy circulation and metabolism.

What are the effects on the skin?

Absorbing UV radiation

It is found that it absorbs in the UV region, especially at 220nm~300nm, which shows that it has strong absorption of UV. Adding it to cosmetics can prevent the skin from being exposed to too much UV light and reduce the degree of skin tanning and damage.

Inhibit tyrosinase activity

It can chelate the copper ions in tyrosinase, so it can inhibit the activity of tyrosinase, block the formation of melanin, and effectively remove age spots and sun spots. Therefore, it is a mild whitening and spot-lightening ingredient recognized by dermatology.

Reducing melanin intermediates

The synthesis process of melanin involves a large number of oxidation reactions. Its antioxidant effect can reduce various intermediates in the synthesis process of melanin, thereby blocking the formation of melanin. Moreover, ellagic acid does not cause skin sensitivity, redness and peeling, so it is milder than vitamin A and hydroquinone.

Anti-aging

Research has shown that it can strengthen the dermal-epidermal junction by increasing the ratio of type VII collagen in keratinocytes and fibroblasts, thereby reducing wrinkles, tightening the skin, regulating skin texture, and delaying skin aging. It can effectively promote the regeneration of skin elastic fibers, protect the degradation of elastin, and especially reduce skin tissue damage caused by long-term or frequent radiation and ultraviolet radiation in sunlight, and slow down photoaging.

Astringent

Astringent properties make cosmetics containing ellagic acid have good adhesion to the skin under waterproof conditions, and can shrink large pores, tighten loose skin to reduce wrinkles, and prevent the skin from secreting too much oil.

In vitro transformation of pomegranate peel extract in UM-A type human intestinal flora and its effect on intestinal flora

Ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-electrostatic field orbital trap high-resolution mass spectrometry was used to qualitatively and quantitatively analyze the in vitro metabolic transformation products of ellagic acid in urolithin metabolic type A human intestinal flora, and 16S rRNA high-throughput sequencing technology was used to analyze the effect of ellagic acid on the composition and metabolic pathways of human intestinal flora.

Application direction

Health food

Because it is rich in various bioactive ingredients, such as polyphenols and flavonoids, it has various pharmacological effects such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial. Therefore, many health product manufacturers use it as one of the raw materials to produce foods with health functions.

Cosmetics and personal care

Due to its antioxidant effect, it is used in skin care products and oral care products to help improve skin smoothness and elasticity, reduce varicose veins, and fight arthritis inflammation.

Food

It can be added to meat processing, baked goods, beverages, candies, etc., which can not only improve the color and taste of the product, but also ensure the hygiene and safety of meat products and improve the nutritional value of the product.
