Product Introduction：
Yucca extract powder is an ether-insoluble substance obtained by taking Yucca as raw material, extracting and concentrating with alcohol solvent, extracting with water and n-butanol, removing impurities, evaporating the n-butanol phase, and refluxing with ether. Contains steroid saponins, free saponins, sugar complexes, and other main active ingredients. It has a strong adsorption capacity for harmful gases, can reduce the concentration of harmful gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in livestock houses, improves animal feeding environment, promotes feed decomposition, improves digestibility, enhances organism resistance, promotes organism absorption of nutrients, improves animal health, improves livestock production performance and effectively improve the quality of livestock products; It can also stimulate the circulatory and respiratory systems, and affect the activity of vitamins and the secretion of animal hormones. As a pancreatic emulsifier, it has been widely studied and applied in animal production, resulting in good economic and social benefits. It is also used in the production of other products, such as foaming agents for carbonated drinks and food flavor enhancers, and has been recognized as an auxiliary food by the US Federal Food and Drug Administration.
Main active ingredients：
Many biological functions of yucca schidigera powder are related to its active components, and its main active components include steroid saponins, polysaccharides, resveratrol, and polyphenolic compounds.
1. Steroid saponin is the most important active component of Yucca extract, and it is also the most clearly studied component. Saponins contain a lipophilic group called sapogenin, and one or more hydrophilic sugar branches. They are natural surfactants or emulsifiers, which are beneficial to the emulsification of oils and fats, promote the digestion and absorption of monoglycerides, and further improve the utilization rate of oils and fats. The hydrophobic part of saponin is linked with the hydrophobic group of cholesterol in mucosal cells in the form of micelle superposition, forming a complex to affects the permeability of intestinal cells. In a similar way, saponins also have antigenic activity, which destroys the integrity of protozoan cell membranes by combining with cholesterol, leading to cell lysis.
2. Polysaccharide polysaccharide, especially a functional oligosaccharide formed by connecting a plurality of monosaccharides through glycosidic bonds, is an important active component in Yucca extract, which is not digested by digestive enzymes secreted by animals themselves, and enters the back part of the intestine as a chemical prebiotic to promote the growth and reproduction of beneficial bacteria, and can effectively inhibit the proliferation of pathogenic bacteria, maintain the stable structure of intestinal microecology and promote intestinal health. In addition, polysaccharide, as a nutrient, can be decomposed and utilized by intestinal probiotics such as Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, and can also be combined with intestinal ammonia molecules to be fully utilized as a nitrogen source for intestinal microbial fermentation. At the same time, it can effectively adjust the acid-base balance of the intestine, make the activity of digestive enzymes higher, and improve the utilization rate of nutrients such as protein, vitamins, and minerals.
3. Polyphenol Yucca contains two kinds of unique polyphenols, namely resveratrol and Polyphenol of Eupatorium fortunei, which have a strong binding ability to amino, so it is speculated that these two kinds of polyphenols in Eupatorium fortunei extract may also have the ability to reduce ammonia. In addition, the anti-infection effect of resveratrol is remarkable. Nitric oxide, as a signal molecule, plays an important role in physiological functions such as immunomodulation and neurotransmission, but too much NO is cytotoxic and accompanied by inflammation. Marzocco and other studies have proved that yucca polyphenols can inhibit the expression of nitrogen oxygenase. NF-KB is a transcription factor that can regulate the expression of the iNOS gene. Therefore, yucca polyphenols play a strong anti-infection role by inhibiting the activity of NF-KB.
The physiological function of yucca extract powder：
1. Improve the breeding environment
Yucca powder for plants can not only reduce the production of harmful gases such as ammonia and methane in animals; It can also reduce the emission of nitrogen, phosphorus, and other elements, thus improving the environment of livestock houses. Its specific mechanism is that Yucca extract is a urease inhibitor, which can not only inhibit urea from decomposing into ammonia, but also promote microorganisms to convert ammonia into microbial protein, thus reducing the production of ammonia in feces and urine; It can directly adsorb or combine harmful gases such as ammonia in the environment, and can prevent the nitrification of nitrogen in feces and urine, so that nitrogen exists in inorganic form, thus reducing the amount of ammonia emitted into the air.
2. Regulating the intestinal environment
Yucca plant extract can promote the proliferation of beneficial bacteria, improve the intestinal environment, and facilitate the growth and development of intestinal villi; It can reduce the generation of ammonia, stabilize the pH in the intestinal tract, and promote the digestion and absorption of protein, thus providing and maintaining a normal intestinal environment for animal growth. Moreover, saponin in Yucca extract can improve the permeability of bacterial cell walls and facilitate the absorption and utilization of nutrients more quickly. In addition, Yucca extract plays an active role in inhibiting the number of coccidia, improving animal health, and reducing mortality, and has been widely used to control coccidiosis in chickens.
3. Improve the growth performance of animals
Steroid saponins in yucca extract are difficult to pass through digestive tract epithelial cells because of their special chemical structure, but it has surface activity, which can change the morphology of digestive tract epithelial cell membrane and reduce the surface tension of cell membrane, thus promoting the absorption of nutrients; Yucca extract can reduce ammonia concentration, reduce intestinal tissue proliferation, slow down intestinal tissue renewal, reduce energy, protein and oxygen consumption, and promote nutrient deposition and digestion.
4. Improve the immunity of the body
Yucca extract can thicken the intestinal mucosa of animals, improve health, prevent some viruses from invading, inhibit viruses and harmful bacteria from absorbing nutrients in the digestive tract, and inhibit their proliferation; It can also reduce respiratory diseases by reducing the ammonia concentration in livestock houses; It can reduce the blood ammonia concentration and avoid the nervous system disorder of animals caused by it.
5. Improve the quality of livestock products
There is a positive correlation between creatine level and meat quality. Insulin can promote protein synthesis and slow down urea synthesis. Adding Yucca extract can increase serum creatine and insulin levels and improve meat quality. In addition, saponins can also combine with cholesterol, and 73.4% of cholesterol can be extracted by adding L 'Aquilaya saponin to homogenized milk.
Extraction method：
Yucca is used as raw material, which is extracted and concentrated by alcohol solvent, and then extracted by water and n-butanol, and impurities are removed. After the n-butanol phase is evaporated, the ether insoluble substance obtained by refluxing with ether is Yucca extract. At present, there are two main forms of products on the market: liquid and solid powder. Wherein, the liquid yucca extract is a squeezed concentrated yucca juice without any carrier; There are also two kinds of solid powders. At present, most of them are made by spraying squeezed juice Yucca on a carrier and then drying, while the other is made by directly drying and grinding Yucca to make powder products, which contain no carrier and all active ingredients of Yucca.
Application of Yucca extract powder：
1. Application of Yucca extract in pigs The volatilization of ammonia not only leads to the waste of nitrogen sources but also causes serious pollution to pig farms and the surrounding environment. If the impact of ammonia on the environment cannot be well controlled, it will become one of the restrictive factors for the sustainable and efficient development of the pig industry. Yucca extract can effectively reduce the content of ammonia in the intestine, reduce the damage and renewal of intestinal mucosal cells caused by ammonia, and reduce the formation of stillbirth or weak fetuses due to hypoxia.
2. Application of Yucca extract in poultry Yucca extract is widely used as a deodorizer in broiler breeding. A large number of studies show that Yucca extract can significantly reduce the contents of harmful gases such as ammonia and hydrogen sulfide in chicken houses. At present, the application of Yucca extract is not limited to the deodorizing function, and its production experiment in Chemicalbook shows that Yucca extract can also promote the growth of broilers, and improve energy and protein metabolism rates. Shan Tianxin mixed Chinese traditional medicine Yucca with 1g/mL, and 167mL of it was mixed into 800L drinking water every day for chickens to drink. After two weeks, the ammonia elimination rate in the shed reached 59.24%, which prolonged the laying period and slowed down the decline of egg production in the later period of laying hens.
3. Application of Yucca extract in ruminants Yucca extract is widely used as a rumen nutrition regulator abroad. A large number of studies at home and abroad show that Yucca extract can improve rumen anaerobic microbial fermentation, inhibit urease activity, and reduce the density of protozoa in rumen.
4. The application of Yucca extract in aquaculture can reduce the mass concentration of ammonia in water, improve water quality, and promote aquaculture.
