Food Grade Morus Alba Root Extract , Organic Mulberry Leaf Extract For Skin Lightening

 

Introduction:

Mulberry is considered as a nice herb in the ancient China for anti-inflammation, anti-aging and maintaining health. Mulberry is rich in amino acids, vitamin C and antioxidants. Among this components, the most valuable are rutoside and DNJ (1-Deoxynojimycin),The latest chinese research has shown mulberry leaf p.e rutoside and DNJ are effective in regulating blood fat, balancing blood pressure, reducing blood glucose, and boosting metabolism. So they are widely used as raw materials for curing diabetes.

The root bark of Morus alba (Moraceae) has been used as a traditional medicine in Asian countries and exhibits antibacterial activity against food poisoning micro-organisms. Using activity against S. mutans in bioassay-guided fractionation of a methanol extract of dried root bark, and organic solvent fractions of this extract, the active antibacterial constituent was identified as kuwanon G. The compound displayed an MIC of 8 μg ml–1 against S. mutans, which was comparable to chlorhexidine and vancomycin (1 μg ml–1). Time-kill assays indicated that S. mutans was completely inactivated by 20 μg ml–1 kuwanon G within 1 min, while testing against other bacteria suggested that the compound displayed preferential antimicrobial activity against cariogenic bacteria. Electron microscopic examination of S. mutans cells treated with kuwanon G indicated that the mode of antibacterial action was inhibition or blocking of cell growth, as treated cells showed a disintegrated surface and an unclear cell margin.

5.Mulberry Tea provides alternative treatment for balancing blood sugar.
Effects: Expelling pathogenic wind-heat, cleaning away heat from the lung to arrest cough, and clearing up heat from the liver to improve acuity of vision.

Applications:

Medicine ,cosmeitcs ,dietary supplement ,food additive , food for livestock,tea.

(1-DNJ) could be used in functional food, dietary supplements and health products for treatment of diabetics and lower blood sugar level.

(1-DNJ) could also be used in weight management products as it could inhibit activity of disaccharide hydrolase, which will prevent small intestine from absorbing disaccharide and lead to weight loss.
