What is resveratrol?
Resveratrol is a non-flavonoid polyphenolic organic compound that exists in two isomeric forms: cis and trans. It is widely found in various plants such as peanuts, berries, and grapes, with the most common source being the root of Japanese knotweed. Resveratrol is odorless, almost insoluble in water, but easily soluble in organic solvents like ether, chloroform, methanol, and ethanol. Its melting point is between 253-255°C, and its sublimation temperature is 261°C. It can be identified through color reactions, such as turning red with ammonia or reacting with ferric chloride-potassium ferrocyanide to produce a color change.
Functional Differences of Isomers
● Cis-Resveratrol: Promotes DNA repair, protects nerves, and improves age-related cognitive disorders and degenerative diseases.
● Trans-Resveratrol: Inhibits DNA repair and may exacerbate neurodegeneration in cortical neurons of the brain.
Natural Sources
Resveratrol and its derivatives are found in at least 72 plant species across 31 genera and 21 families, including medicinal plants like Japanese knotweed, cassia, and mulberry, as well as crops like grapes and peanuts. The primary natural sources of resveratrol are Japanese knotweed (Polygonum cuspidatum) and grapes (Vitis).
Functions and Effects
Antioxidant Effect
Resveratrol is a natural antioxidant that works by scavenging or inhibiting the generation of oxidative free radicals, suppressing lipid peroxidation, and modulating the activity of antioxidant-related enzymes.
Anti-inflammatory and Antibacterial Effects
Antibacterial experiments show that resveratrol has a strong inhibitory effect against various bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Escherichia coli, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
Anti-inflammatory experiments demonstrate that resveratrol exerts anti-inflammatory effects by reducing platelet adhesion and altering platelet activity.
Anti-aging
In 2003, Professor David Sinclair's team at Harvard University discovered that resveratrol could activate sirtuin enzymes, extending the lifespan of yeast, which sparked a wave of anti-aging research.
Other Effects
Resveratrol also exhibits various biological activities, including antibacterial, immune-modulating, anti-asthmatic, and bone health-promoting effects, making it a subject of significant attention.
Application
Due to the special biological activity of resveratrol, people's development and utilization of resveratrol are increasingly deepened, and it has been widely used in food processing and health care industries.
Resveratrol has been widely used in various fields such as food additives, beverages and cosmetics.
