Cranberry Extract Powder

What Is Cranberry Extract?

Cranberry extract is an extract from the fruits of cranberry shrubs. Cranberry extract contains natural flavonoids and anthocyanins, which can restore collagen vitality, make the skin smooth and elastic. It is a natural sunscreen that can prevent ultraviolet rays from damaging the skin, has excellent antioxidant function, can resist aging, protect cardiovascular health, and can effectively prevent and assist in the treatment of adult female urinary tract infections.

Green Spring Technology supplies cranberry extract containing 27.0-33.0% (DMAC spectrophotometric assay) of proanthocyanidins (PACs), the highest proanthocyanidin content of cranberry extract on the market today. In addition to proanthocyanidins, it retains all of the signature polyphenolic components of the cranberry fruit, including anthocyanins, phenolic acids, and flavonoids. It is high in content, green, pollution-free, and in line with EU standards, and has been widely used in the food and medicine field.

Green Spring is a leading plant extract company in China, with 24 years of experience, specializing in research and development, we have been committed to developing superior quality and high activity plant products.

Benefits:

Antioxidant Effects

Research literature has shown that anthocyanins extracted from cranberries have strong antioxidant capacity and can help animal bodies resist attacks from harmful substances. Anthocyanins reduce the production of free radicals in the body through the following aspects: firstly, by preventing reactions with peroxygen ions; The second is to chelate certain specific metal ions in the body, thereby preventing the production of hydroxyl groups; The third is to inhibit lipid peroxidation reaction and reduce the generation of end products such as malondialdehyde.

Protecting Vision

Cranberry extract anthocyanins have the effect of activating the retina. Anthocyanins can effectively alleviate visual blurring caused by fatigue. Research has found that anthocyanins activate retinal enzymes, helping the body activate and improve the regeneration ability of rhodopsin, enabling nighttime workers to adapt to dark environments in a short period of time.

Anti-Inflammatory and Analgesic

Cranberry anthocyanin hydroxyl is reported to be absorbed by the gastrointestinal tract and can inhibit the attachment of E. coli to the intestinal tract. Studies have confirmed that anthocyanins reduce platelet production in patients with hyperlipidemia. In vitro and in vivo pilot studies have shown that anthocyanins in cranberries inhibit oxidation, platelet aggregation, and adhesion.

Inhibit Oral Bacteria

Porphyromonas gingivalis is the main cause of periodontitis. The latest research shows that although cranberry type A proanthocyanidins cannot reduce bacterial proliferation, they are a powerful inhibitor of gingival biofilm formation, reducing the ability of Porphyromonas gingivalis to colonize the periodontal tissue, and can play a beneficial role in preventing and treating periodontitis. In addition, other experiments have also shown that type A proanthocyanidins have similar effects on Candida albicans.

Applications:

In the Food Field:

Food Additives: Cranberry extract powder is a food coloring agent with good color quality and a wide color gamut, which can show different colors in acidic and weak alkaline environments and can be added to different styles of food, and the United Nations FAO/WHO Joint Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA), based on the available toxicological information, considered that anthocyanosides have "very low toxicity", and have been included in the category of natural pigments as food additives (E163), and anthocyanoside extracts (including lingonberry extracts) have been listed by the U.S. FDA as food additives that do not require certification, and have been allowed to be used in beverages, dairy products, and confectionaries.

Functional Food: Uncontrolled oxidation and free radical attack are some of the root causes of human aging and lesions, and the large number of phenolic hydroxyl groups contained in the anthocyanin molecule can strongly counteract the uncontrolled oxidation in the body and the attack of free radicals, slowing down or inhibiting the human organism's aging and lesions. Therefore, cranberry extract powder can be used as a functional ingredient in functional foods or directly made into dietary supplements.

In Pharmaceutical:

Anthocyanins have special physiological functions to prevent and treat some major diseases. There are many experiments showing that anthocyanins have antioxidant, apoptosis-inducing, and growth-suppressing effects on mammalian cells, inhibiting inflammatory responses and so on.
