Kojic acid discription:

Kojic acid, (formal name: 5-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethyl-1,4-pyrone) is a kind of subacid organic

compound made in microbial fermentation. Kojic acid is white or off-white needle-like crystals, easily

dissolved in water, alcohol and acetone; slightly dissolved in ether, ethyl acetate, chloroform and pyridine;

and undissolved in benzene.

Application of kojic acid:

(1) in cosmetic field: It is used for macula-removing and whitening.In the human skin, tyrosine is oxidized

and polymerized with oxygen-derived free radicals under the catalytic action of tyrosinase and then synthesized to melanin. Kojic acid can inhibit tyrosinase synthesis, so it can greatly inhibit the skin melanin formation;

furthermore, kojic acid is safe and nontoxic and won’t cause white spot syndrome. Therefore, it has been widely added in the lotion, face mask, liquid cream and skin cream. Whitening cosmetics containing kojic acid are able to treat

effectively the freckle, senile plaque, pigmentation and acne, etc. Kojic acid in concentration of 20ug/ml is able to inhibit 70~80%of the activity of many kinds of tyrosinases (or polyphenoloxidase PPO) . 0.2~1.0% of kojic acid is recommended to be added in the cosmetics.
(2) Moreover, kojic acid is the mateial for making maltol and cthyl maltol.
(3) In medicine field: kojic acid has no mutagenic action to eukaryotic cells. It is able to eliminate the free radicals

in the human body, strengthen the activity of the leucocyte, so it is good for human health. Now kojic acid has been used as the an important material of cephalosporin-type antibiotics. The finished products have ideal effect in easing pain, relieving inflammation and curing many diseases (like headache and toothache, etc.).
(4) In agriculture field: Kojic acid is used in producing biological pesticides. 0.5-1.0% of kojic acid can be added in microelement fertilizer (crimson liquid). This kind of crop production promoter has significant effect on increasing production of grains and vegetables, no matter it is used as low-concentration foliage fertilizer for spraying or yield-increasing agent for root applying.
(5) In other fields: kojic acid is also used as iron analytical reagent and film spotting agent, etc

 

Kojic Acid Usage:

1. Kojic Acid products are widely used in whiten cosmetic applied as a skin lightening agent

due to its potential to inhibit the enzyme tyrosinase. Tyrosinase is necessary for the synthesis

of melanin, which offers skin its coloring.

2. Kojic Acid products also have antibacterial, antifungal and antioxidant attributes. It can

protect against fruits from turning brown and is also applied to preserve the pink and red shade

of seafood.

3. Kojic Acid products can also be used in antibiotic synthetic intermediate products, agriculture

plant tutelage and chemical reagent, ect.
