Fucoxanthin Powder Usage and Synthesis.

Fucoxanthin (also known as phycocyanin), a carotenoid found in brown seaweed, is being studied for its fat-burning abilities. It reduces the amount of fat and does not stimulate the brain. It looks healthy, but more evidence is needed.

It also has other health benefits such as correcting abnormalities in glucose metabolism in muscle tissue, its may help diabetics, and it may lower cholesterol levels and triglycerides through a currently unproven mechanism.

Supplementing the body with fucoxanthin has resulted in a decrease in blood pressure and a reduction in liver fat storage and liver enzyme values.

Uses of Fucoxanthin.

1. In addition to be used as weight loss health care products, it can also be applied to all kinds of food, such as butter, pies, green tea pastry and other baked goods, to increase the product colour and functionality.

2. Used as egg yolk colouring agent.

3. Skin care and beauty products.

4. As medicine, used in the treatment of skin cancer, colon cancer, prostate cancer, liver cancer and other cancers.

Pharmacological Effect of Fucoxanthin.

1.Antioxidant effect Fucoxanthin has good antioxidant effect, even better than vitamin E and vitamin C. Fucoxanthin has a protective effect on UV-B-induced damage to human fibroblasts.

Fucoidan has a protective effect on UV-B-induced damage to human fibroblasts. The antioxidant effect of fucoidan is mainly through the regulation of Na+-K+-ATPase activity, as well as the regulation of retinol deficiency caused by tissue and molecular catalase and glutathione activity.

2.Anti-inflammatory effect Fucoidan has an inhibitory effect on the exudation of endotoxin-induced inflammatory mediators in a dose-dependent relationship, and its anti-inflammatory effect is comparable with that of prednisolone, which indicates that fucoidan has a certain inhibitory effect on the inflammatory osmosis induced by endotoxin, NO, PGE2 and tumour necrosis factor in mice.

Its anti-inflammatory effect was mainly through the inhibition of NO osmosis induced by lipopolysaccharide-induced macrophage-induced inflammatory response. RT-PCR analysis showed that the mRNA of NO synthase and cyclooxygenase were inhibited by fucoxanthin, and that the expression of tumour necrosis factor, interleukin IL-1β and IL-6, and mRNA cell survivor were inhibited by fucoxanthin in a dose-dependent relationship, these These results suggest that fucoidan may have an important role in a variety of inflammatory responses.

3. Weight loss Fucoxanthin can eliminate fat accumulation in two ways. Fucoxanthin activates the protein known as UCP1, which promotes lipolysis. It also stimulates the liver to produce DHA, which lowers cholesterol levels.

4. Other sea urchin diets seaweed contains fucoxanthin and has a significant effect on the phagocytosis of macrophages and ovulation.

Extraction and isolation methods of Bulk Fucoxanthin Powder.

Fucoxanthin belongs to natural carotenoids, in neutral conditions, insoluble in water and other solvents with high polarity, soluble in non-polar organic solvents, fat-soluble pigments. The extraction of pigments in dry powder is generally extracted by adding a small amount of non-polar solvent with a small amount of small polar solvent.

1. Extraction process of laminarin in kelp: anhydrous ethanol - acetone - petroleum ether (4:1:1) composite solvent as the extractant, in the material-liquid ratio of 40:1, 40 ℃, extracted 2 times, 1h each time.

After the extracted extract was saponified, the fucoidan and fucosterol were separated and purified by silica gel column chromatography, and a high-purity product with a purity of 91.6% was obtained.

2. The extraction process of fucoidan in Leptospermum officinale: 90% ethanol - acetone (3:1) compound solvent as extractant, in the liquid to material ratio of 40:1, the ultrasonic temperature 65 ℃ water bath oscillation extraction 2 times, each time 80min, its extraction rate of 1.067mg-g-1.

3.Extraction process of lithophyllin in Un-dariapinnatifida: 3% methanol as entraining agent at a pressure of 200 dN/mm2 and a temperature of 323 K. The extraction rate was 1.067 mg-g-1.

Alternatively, ethanol was used as entraining agent and supercritical CO2 was used to prepare fucoxanthin from kelp root, and the purity of the crude extract was obtained as 5%.
