The efficacy of phloretin powder in medicine and food

Basic information on phloretin

Since phloretin powder has multi-functional cosmetic effects, as the proportion of plant-based functional cosmetics in the market increases, this ingredient has also successfully attracted the attention of the beauty industry, such as anti-oxidation, whitening, and acne removal. The effects are all good. In addition to its good cosmetic results, it can also be widely used in health care products, medicine, food, etc., and has various pharmacological effects such as anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive.

Phloretin belongs to dihydrochalcone, a plant polyphenol, which can be extracted from the peels of juicy fruits such as apples, pears, grapefruit, etc. Most of the phloretin on the market is extracted from apples. It can be directly absorbed and utilized by the human body. In plants, there is very few naturally occurring phloretin, and most of it exists in the form of its glycoside derivative, phloridin, which is absorbed by the human body. Phloretin can be produced in the body to exert its effect.

The preparation method of phloretin

Its main extraction methods include ultrasonic extraction, immersion, thermal reflux, and enzymatic and biological enzymatic conversion. The following three extraction methods are mainly introduced.

1. Ultrasonic extraction method: This method is easy to operate, and the extraction speed is fast, but the disadvantage is that the extraction efficiency is low. It cannot extract phloretin from apple flesh and apple peel, but can only be removed from the leaves of Begonia. This component is extracted, and the extracted content accounts for at most 0.55% of the total practical components.

2. Impregnation method: Its operation is also simple, but the disadvantage is also in the extraction efficiency, and its efficiency is easily affected by the solvent.

For example, a single solvent, such as ethanol, NaOH solution, methanol, and other solvents, has a relatively low yield when extracting phloretin, and the extraction rate of acidic methanol is 36.60 g/g, while methanol, ethanol, acetone, ethyl acetate, and Chloroform and other solvents are mixed together for extraction, and 78% phloretin can be obtained, so the mixed solvent helps the dipping method to improve the extraction efficiency.

3. Thermal reflux method: it has higher extraction efficiency and can reduce the volatilization of the solvent.
