Production status of plant extracts industry in China

Medicinal raw materials of Chinese medicine preparations require the standardized pretreatment of herbal or medicine. While the vast majority of extract enterprises use original herbs with index components. It is more convenient and easy. Because plant extract manufacturer participates in international competition, so there are stringent requirements for the basic sources of raw materials, harvesting season and applying regions. For synthesized raw materials of western medicine, regardless of the raw material and synthetic route, they should meet the standards.
But from the natural ingredients of Chinese medicine in addition to the base source, to a large extent determined by the almost uncontrollable natural conditions. Purified extracts such as paclitaxel, puerarin can be ignored and the process, use the site, but generally extract its indicators ingredients can only represent the relative level of quality, must be made on the use of raw materials and extraction process standardization requirements. In addition, out of consideration for the cost of production of extracts, high levels of index constituent quality of raw materials will also become conscious.
China's plant extracts industry is from the hands of the workshop to a modern industrial systems factory co-exist. Mainstream production equipment and technical ability can be comparable to the world's major producing countries of the extract. Number of extracts of enterprises in accordance with or by reference to the international quality system certification, the World Jewish food certification system certification requirements for construction and equipment of the production system and the environment.
Many specialized extract business equipment, from simple attention to equipment production performance to attach importance to the production environment safe and clean, and efficient system of production facilities can both change the direction, which also reflects the extract enterprises in accordance with the requirements of production demands on themselves, and make efforts in accordance with the production capacity and technical level of advanced pharmaceutical companies and the strong desire of international standards. Undeniably, there are many production conditions and poor equipment of the enterprise, and even many hand-family workshops in the production of the extract processing, with the level of economic development in China, and Chinese medicine and traditional processing certain contact. However, with the extract manufacturers raise the level of international market competition and their own accumulation of economic strength and management continued to increase, improve and raise the level of production equipment has become the industry development direction of the extract will also promote China's traditional Chinese medicine products. It will improve the equipment level of pharmaceutical raw materials suppliers.
With the analysis of the continuous improvement of the technical level, the cognitive ability of a trace amount of harmful ingredients, more and more, can be detected in the number of varieties are more and more, getting lower and lower detection limits, and one after another in the world be reflected in regulations or standards. Advanced equipment, such as using a fluorescence detector for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and halogen biphenyl, atomic absorption spectrophotometer, atomic fluorescence spectrometry. As well as improved sample purification efficiency and degree of automation of solid-phase extraction equipment and reduce the intensity of the work to improve the efficiency of the autosampler and other advanced equipment.
A number of pharmaceutical raw materials suppliers have corporations with local farmers or institutions. They make the plant waste as organic fertilizer by the ways of heaping and fermentation. They also take appropriate processing of bubble gas and fermentation on wastewater, thus COD, BOD will meet the discharge standards. But there are a lot of extract suppliers are lacking of sufficient understanding and construction on environmental protection equipments. It should arouse great concern.

Whitening and speckle removing effect of astaxanthin

Now women are beginning to use cosmetics products. The cosmetics they use are changing. The cosmetics have many side effects. Many chemicals components in skin care products accidentally put the beauty into a disfigured. Astaxanthin is derived from raw material of natural marines. So its side effects in human body are small,. And it is easy to be accepted by the body.
The astaxanthin supplement can effectively suppress the production of melanin up to 40%, and can significantly reduce the precipitation of melanin, away from the bleak colorless spots on the skin. Astaxanthin will make the color more white, beautiful, flawless and shiny. The effect is far better than other whitening ingredients such as arbutin, kojic acid and vitamin C. So far have not found any kind of substance in the same concentration have such a good effect to prevent pigmentation, also known as the whitening of the best raw materials, to be applied in the high-end the first line of cosmetics.
Ultraviolet UVB is the main role in the epidermis, leading to sunburn or the deposition of melanin, the formation of spots or skin darkening main reason. Followed by the skin cells caused by the aging of melanin deposition. When sufficient energy from the ultraviolet rays reach the skin, you can skin cells to produce reactive oxygen species or ROS, reactive oxygen species include: singlet oxygen, superoxide, hydroxyl, they have strong from neighboring molecules have the ability of the electronics, such as electronics, from the DNA, phospholipids, enzymes or proteins so as to achieve stability.
Fortunately, astaxanthin can quenching singlet oxygen, inhibition of lipid peroxidation and its capabilities far beyond the well-known antioxidants. The scientific study from cosmetic raw material suppliers confirmed that when the skin astaxanthin concentration is more that 10umol, it will significantly inhibit the production of melanin. After four weeks, it may significantly dilute 40% of the spots. Oral absorption is more effective. Astaxanthin’s skin care and health functions are almost from its super antioxidant power.
Human aging and most diseases are associated with free radicals. Free radicals have a high oxidation activity. Its attack on human cells is irreversible. Once it is combined with proteins, DNA and membrane lipids, it will result in devastating consequences. It leads to cell structure defect, malfunction and rapidly aging. Then the problems on skin and body organs are therefore coming. Astaxanthin can be efficiently block oxidative damage to human cells from the free radical. It maintains a strong and healthy vitality of every cell. Its skin care effect is significant.

Six tips to avoid or reduce the intake of nitrite

Nitrites in food are mainly from two aspects: the first one is food additive and another source is the nitrogen fertilizer. The attractive color of meat products is formed by nitrite. Nitrite can have reactions with hemoglobin in the meat. It forms pink color that can increase appetite and flavor of the meat. In addition to become color agent for meat, the nitrite also plays a preservative role. It is mainly for the sausage, ham, luncheon meat and other foods. Chinese provisions require that nitrate usage in meat and meat canned shall not exceed 500mg/kg.The adding amount of nitrite shall not exceed 150mg/kg.
On the one hand, nitrite is toxic and can cause cancer. It can be used in food preservation, and extensive use of nitrite in food. Therefore, every day will intake of nitrite, there is the possibility of attacks by nitrosamines, there is the risk of cancer. Fortunately, the intake of nitrite in the body metabolism is faster, generally does not appear to chronic poisoning. Nitrite toxicity, if the excessive intake of nitrite and hemoglobin in the iron reaction, the blood loses the ability to transport oxygen, resulting in the poisoning of the body organs from lack of oxygen, severe cases can The cause of death in patients, such a case there have been many incidents. The experts tell us in this regard, the rational use is safe and will not cause harm to humans.
Inhibit the formation of nitrite, especially the leftovers in the nitrate into nitrite in the role of microorganisms. So, it was suggested not to eat overnight food, the key is to prevent nitrate into nitrite. Nitrite in foods can not be avoided, because much food added artificially food additives, therefore, inhibit the formation of nitrosamines in food or blocking carcinogenic nitrosamines. The pharmaceutical raw materials vitamin C is very effective in the inhibition of precursor. In addition, vitamin C is an antioxidant, can block the formation of mutagens in the extracellular tumor suppression effect. Intake of fresh fruit and vegetables all contain vitamin C such as kiwi fruit, oranges, fresh dates, and hawthorn. A variety of vegetables are also blocking nitrosamine formation.
Vitamin A block of N-nitrosamines carcinogenic effects and the role of inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and growth. Therefore, the choice of vitamin A or containing β-carotene-rich foods can reduce cancer incidence and mortality. Selenium has a role in cancer prevention, participation form many enzymes, especially glutathione peroxidase. The glutathione has antioxidant effect. It can protect cells and tissues. People can buy glutathione to maintain their normal functions. The selenium contents in sesame seeds, organ meats, garlic, mushrooms, dried shrimps, scallop, squid and amaranth are more abundant.
In addition, garlic and green tea have a different degree of inhibition on nitrite. And the green tea has most significant inhibitory effect. Garlic may inhibit and kill nitrate-reducing bacteria. It plays role in the prevention of cancers to a certain extent.

How can China deal with the improvement of overseas standards

In the case of strengthening supervision of Chinese products and improvement of testing standards in foreign countries, Chinese enterprises must improve standards through scientific and technological innovation. There is a general decline in exports of Chinese products. It is a special case that export of plant extracts industry has grown by 20 percent .How to enhance international access threshold to maintain growth and expand market share now become a hot topic for plant extract manufacturer.
The United States will all production and sales of vitamins, minerals, preparation, preparation of the plant and various dietary supplement companies to force implementation of the transformation set new standards for dietary supplements and other products manufacturers, suppliers, and packagers. The provisions of these new standards require U.S. companies to obtain more specific information on raw materials from its suppliers. It will undoubtedly increase the difficulty of the exporter's exports to the U.S.
Because the U.S. is the largest export market of the Chinese plant extracts, plant extracts of Chinese exports to the U.S. is basically used in the field of health care products and food additives. U.S. transformation is bound to affect the Chinese suppliers. China's raw material suppliers must be noted that U.S. buyers will have to request in accordance with cGMP regulations and verification of ingredients suppliers, so U.S. buyers will be more Chinese companies tend to find in the U.S. certification to cooperate. In addition, the United States now has in China, set up offices in order to check the suppliers, Chinese suppliers must actively respond to policy changes.
The Chinese plant extract industry is out of the shadow of the financial crisis. The global economic downturn has brought to the U.S. dietary supplement suppliers some special cases, although most companies are facing some difficulties in the operation, these difficulties is the capital and credit is even tighter, and new product development speed is relatively slow, but Sales grew. At the same time, although the use of features of the plant extracts has decided to international demand is rigid, but if you want to share the mainstream market, especially in the United States market, the premise must be complied with international standards and take the initiative to improve product quality standards. The threshold enhancement of the industry is inevitable.
In the case of foreign governments to strengthen supervision of Chinese products, testing standards, the Chinese enterprises must be through technological innovation to raise the standard and quality standards of the Chinese plant extracts should be developed as soon as possible with international standards. In addition to the enterprises should strengthen self-discipline, industry associations should also guide enterprises for system certification. Government departments should consider allowing the introduction of an independent third party testing and certification organizations to promote the regulation.
For controlling of botanicals, especially for plant extracts products, there is an increasingly tends for pharmaceutical raw materials suppliers to use fingerprint technology in quality control. Plant extracts manufacturers also have a fingerprint test conditions, the time to vigorously implement fingerprint technology to control product quality is ripe.
In the green industry standards of medicinal plants and preparations, foreign trade and economic standards of angelica, hypericum perforatum, red clover, valerian and citrus aurantium extract have been released. And foreign trade and economic standards of ginseng, green tea and ginkgo have been finalized. In addition, foreign trade and economic standards of acanthopanax, medlar, polygonum cuspidatum, cranberries, skullcap, mangosteen, grape seed, pine bark, schisandra and echinacea are making by the industry now.

Development of astaxanthin market searches for an entry point

Astaxanthin is a natural carotenoid with higher antioxidant activity. It is mainly used in the aquaculture industry. With economic development and health concerns, especially the increase in age-related degenerative diseases, there are more demands for ingredients of carotenoid in improving antioxidant and immune functions. As a   food ingredient and dietary supplement, astaxanthin has more widely applications.
Among antioxidant functional food ingredients, there are many researches on β-carotene, lycopene, lutein, zeaxanthin. But there are fewer studies in astaxanthin supplement. As costly and cause environmental pollution, and thus have been strongly developed rain raw red ball algal production of natural astaxanthin extracted from shrimp shells. Carotenoids, astaxanthin antioxidant activity of the third largest, after the lycopene and γ-carotene. Astaxanthin as antioxidants, and other carotenoids different characteristics through the blood-brain barrier, so you can protect the brain and nervous to avoid oxidative damage.
Astaxanthin derivative antioxidant role, the most studied anti-inflammatory, skin care and heart health. Anti-inflammatory performance and anti-oxidation resistance are closely related. The animal experiments found that regular intake of astaxanthin on the sort of inflammatory disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis. A trial showed that arthritis patients taking the astaxanthin level of pain decreased by 35%, after taking four weeks. Studies have shown that, in the prevention of lipid ultraviolet light, oxidation, and protect the skin from UV damage; astaxanthin has a more significant effect than β-carotene and lutein. It protects the cell membrane internal and membrane surface to prevent oxidation.
Human skin by sun exposure to ultraviolet light to stimulate the skin was red, or sun spots. Thus the market has a lot of sunscreen, skin cream market. Subjects before taking astaxanthin, the first determination of the dose of UV radiation intensity is really necessary in its skin to become red, then two weeks consecutive daily doses of Astaxanthin 4mg. Two weeks after the skin to the formation of the sun spot UV intensity required test results show that the required UV dose than before taking astaxanthin was significantly enhanced.
Plasma low-density lipoprotein oxidation is an important reason for the increase in blood viscosity and promotes atherosclerosis. A lot of clinical data showed that the intake of exogenous antioxidants can prevent the occurrence of cardiovascular disease. A trial showed that daily intake of 3.6 mg astaxanthin for two consecutive weeks, the prevention of LDL oxidation, increasing the concentration of high density lipoprotein. Therefore, astaxanthin by changing the composition of lipoprotein cholesterol in the blood to the heart health benefits.
The cosmetic raw material suppliers add astaxanthin in cosmetics. It can play the effect of anti-aging and sunscreen. If using it in lipstick, it will keep the coloring and skin health for a long time. With the deepening search of astaxanthin’s functions, their application fields are gradually turned to food, beverages and cosmetics market. But in view of consumption statistics, international astaxanthin’s largest markets are in fish, prawns, crabs and poultry feed additives.
