Manufacturer Wholesale Pure Phlorizin Powder
What is phlorizin?
Phloridzin is a naturally occurring flavonoid compound belonging to the dihydrochalcone class. It is a glucoside derivative of phloretin, formed through the chemical bonding of a glycosyl group with the phloretin molecule.
Source and Characteristics
Phloridzin is primarily found in apples and related plant tissues, including:
● Apple fruit
● Apple tree bark
● Apple tree leaves
It is one of the representative phenolic compounds in apple trees.
What are the benefits?
1. Antibacterial Activity
● The degradation product, phloretinol, exhibits significant antibacterial properties.
2. Antioxidant Properties
● Superior overall antioxidant capacity compared to vitamin C (VC) and vitamin E (VE).
● The hydrolysis product, phloretin, has even stronger antioxidant activity.
● Mechanism of Action: Provides hydrogen/electrons via phenolic hydroxyl groups.
3. Blood Sugar Regulation
● Specifically inhibits SGLT1/2 glucose transporters.
● Clinically proven to:
✓ Regulate blood glucose levels
✓ Improve insulin sensitivity
✓ Cause no risk of hypoglycemia
4. Memory Enhancement
● Works through a unique mechanism.
● Does not rely on blood glucose regulation pathways.
Application direction
1. Food Industry
Functional Properties:
● Natural antioxidant
● Significant blood sugar-lowering effects
Application Advantages:
● Simultaneously addresses food oxidation and high blood sugar issues
● Naturally present in apple peel, ensuring high safety
2. Pharmaceutical Field
Metabolic Characteristics:
● Easily hydrolyzed into phloretin in the body
● Low intestinal absorption rate
Development Strategy:
● Often synthesized with other compounds into high-molecular-weight polymers
● Enhances bioavailability
3. Cosmetics Applications
Core Benefits:
● Antioxidant and anti-aging properties
● Hydrolysis product, phloretin, exhibits significant whitening effects
Mechanism of Action:
● Competitively inhibits tyrosinase activity
● Interferes with melanin synthesis
Usage Considerations:
● May activate the cAMP pathway, promoting tyrosinase expression
● Requires balancing whitening effects with potential melanin-promoting risks
Note:
Applications in all fields should carefully consider its metabolic properties and dual-action mechanisms to maximize efficacy.
