What is aloe emodin powder made of?
Aloe Emodin is an anthraquinone compound extracted from plants such as aloe. One of the most important sources of aloe-emodin is the dried roots and rhizomes of Polygonaceae plants. Among them, the roots of rhubarb plants, such as palm leaf rhubarb, tangut rhubarb and medicinal rhubarb, are rich in aloe-emodin and are important raw materials for extracting this compound. In addition, aloe-emodin can also be extracted from the leaf juice of lily plants such as Aloe vera and Aloe vera. Its physical form usually presents bright orange needle-shaped crystals or light yellow crystalline powder. It has antibacterial activity, immunosuppressive effects, and laxative effects. It can be used as a laxative, health food additive, cosmetic raw material, and hair care raw material.
What are the health benefits?
Antibacterial
It has an inhibitory effect on staphylococci, streptococci, diphtheria bacillus, bacillus subtilis, anthrax, paratyphoid bacillus, dysentery bacillus, etc. One of its mechanisms of action is to inhibit the electron transfer of the mitochondrial respiratory chain. It has a strong inhibitory effect on the nucleic acid and protein synthesis of Staphylococcus aureus, and also has a strong inhibitory effect on common clinical anaerobic bacteria.
Inhibit immune hyperactivity
Immunity hyperactivity can cause damage to the body. For example, many autoimmune diseases are caused by abnormal expression of autoimmunity, which takes the normal tissue of the body as the target of attack, causing damage to the body. It can inhibit the production of biological antibodies, thereby inhibiting immune hyperactivity.
Intestinal laxative
It has a strong effect of increasing appetite and relieving constipation. Aloe glycoside is hydrolyzed into aloe-emodin under the action of parasitic bacteria in the human body, stimulating the peristalsis of the intestinal wall. At the same time, due to the change in osmotic pressure, it is conducive to the elimination of waste in the intestine, thereby achieving irritating laxative effect. This irritating laxative effect has a special effect on constipation and hemorrhoids. Especially for middle-aged and elderly constipation, the therapeutic effect is more obvious.
Lipid-lowering and weight-loss
It can inhibit cholesterol absorption and effectively promote intestinal peristalsis, so it has a certain lipid-lowering and weight-loss effect.
Extraction and preparation
The extraction and preparation process involves a series of delicate operations aimed at effectively obtaining from suitable plant resources and significantly improving their purity and quality. The process begins with the selection of high-quality aloe extract as raw material, followed by the use of advanced hydrolysis and oxidation processes to control reaction conditions to promote the effective conversion and initial precipitation of aloe-emodin to form a crude product.
Entering the purification stage, the crude product is dissolved and extracted. These technologies can increase the content, remove impurities, ensure that the product purity meets the established standards, and ultimately produce high-quality aloe-emodin.
Anti-inflammatory mechanism
It is an anthraquinone compound with anti-inflammatory effects. Its anti-inflammatory mechanism is mainly achieved by inhibiting the production and release of inflammatory factors.
Inhibit inos: It can inhibit the expression of inos, thereby reducing the activation of microglia and the release of inflammatory mediators.
Inhibit il-6 and il-1β: These two inflammatory factors play a key role in the inflammatory process. It can inhibit their generation, thereby reducing the inflammatory response.
Inhibit lps-induced inos protein expression: It can inhibit lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inos protein expression, further reducing the inflammatory response.
Inhibit iκbα degradation: It can inhibit the degradation of IκBα, thereby preventing the activation of NF-κB, which is a key step in the inflammatory signaling pathway.
Inhibit the phosphorylation of erk, p38, jnk and akt: By inhibiting the phosphorylation of these kinases, their activation is prevented, thereby inhibiting the transmission of inflammatory signals.
Through these mechanisms, aloe-emodin can effectively reduce inflammatory responses and has potential application value in the treatment of inflammatory-related diseases.
Application industry
Cosmetic raw materials
Due to its good antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it is often added to skin care products to improve skin conditions and promote skin health.
Food field
It can be used as a food additive, has health care functions, and is often used in health care products.
Medical field
It has antibacterial, immunosuppressive, laxative and other pharmacological effects and is widely used in the medical field. As an important pharmaceutical intermediate, it is used to synthesize diacerein.
