Apple Polyphenol 

What is Apple Polyphenol ?   

Apple polyphenols are a general term for the polyphenolic substances contained in apples, including chlorogenic acid, catechins, proanthocyanidins, and condensed tannins, with condensed tannins accounting for approximately 50% of the total content. The content in unripe fruit can be up to 10 times that of ripe fruit. As a highly effective antioxidant and potent free radical scavenger, it exhibits good thermal stability, maintaining its activity even when heated to 120°C within a pH range of 2 to 10. Peak plasma concentration is reached within 20 minutes after oral administration, with a half-life of up to 7 hours.

In addition to its antioxidant and antibacterial functions, its main functions include inhibiting halitosis, anti-allergy, preventing tooth decay, preventing hypertension, and inhibiting ultraviolet absorption. Concentrations of 50-500 ppm are suitable for food preservation. Extraction techniques are based on organic solvent extraction, including direct ethanol-water extraction and its derivatives such as ultrasonic-assisted, microwave-assisted, and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction. Microwave extraction is more efficient than traditional methods, while supercritical extraction offers the advantage of low-temperature preservation of components. By optimizing the process to increase extraction yield, the related products have been applied in fields such as chewing gum, meat preservation, seafood processing, and baked goods.

Feature

Powerful Antioxidant and Anti-inflammatory Properties: Apple polyphenols can directly scavenge free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation, with an antioxidant capacity approximately dozens of times that of vitamin C. They can reduce the production of inflammatory factors such as prostaglandins and interleukins by regulating the β-carotene pathway, thus alleviating tissue inflammatory damage. This synergistic effect of antioxidation and anti-inflammation is the core basis for its health benefits.

Regulating Glucose and Lipid Metabolism: Components in apple polyphenols, such as phlorizin, can competitively inhibit the activity of intestinal α-glucosidase, delaying carbohydrate breakdown and absorption, and smoothing postprandial blood sugar fluctuations. It can also enhance insulin sensitivity, promote fat oxidation and decomposition, improve liver lipid metabolism, and has comprehensive regulatory potential for metabolic syndrome-related indicators.

Protecting the Cardiovascular System: Apple polyphenols can inhibit the oxidative modification of low-density lipoprotein, slowing the formation of atherosclerotic plaques. By promoting nitric oxide production, it improves vascular endothelial function and helps regulate blood pressure. Its anti-platelet aggregation effect helps maintain smooth blood circulation.

Inhibiting Melanin and Anti-Photoaging: Apple polyphenols can inhibit tyrosinase activity, blocking key steps in melanin synthesis. By reducing the expression of UV-induced matrix metalloproteinases, it protects dermal collagen and elastin fibers, thus delaying the process of skin photoaging.

Applications

Functional Foods and Beverages: Used as a core ingredient in health foods that regulate blood sugar and blood lipids, suitable for people with prediabetes and metabolic disorders. Added to sports nutrition products, antioxidant drinks, and juices to enhance product health attributes and extend shelf life. Used in the development of low-GI (glycemic index) foods to meet weight management and healthy eating needs.

Beauty and Skincare Products: Added to whitening serums, sunscreens, and anti-aging skincare products, achieving brightening skin tone and fading dark spots through antioxidant effects and inhibition of melanin production. Used in sensitive skin repair products, utilizing its anti-inflammatory properties to relieve skin redness and irritation. Used in scalp care products to improve the scalp microenvironment and reduce dandruff.

Health Supplements and Medical Foods: Formulated into capsules, tablets, etc., as daily antioxidant supplements to enhance immunity and delay aging. An important component of cardiovascular health support formulas, helping to maintain normal blood pressure and blood lipid levels. Used in foods for special medical purposes, providing nutritional support and metabolic regulation for postoperative recovery and patients with chronic diseases.

Food Preservation and Agricultural Applications: As a natural antioxidant, it can be used to preserve easily oxidized foods such as meat and cooking oil, replacing some synthetic antioxidants. It has been developed into a plant-derived preservative for post-harvest fruit treatment, extending shelf life and maintaining quality. Adding it to animal feed improves the health of farmed animals and enhances product quality.

For some products that require special packaging during transportation, we will carry out more delicate packaging. For example, retinal needs to be stored at -20 °C, so we choose cold chain transportation during transportation; deoxyarbutin will change color during transportation, so we will Vacuum packing of deoxyarbutin
