Fenugreek Seed Extract Furanosterol Saponin

What is Fenugreek Seed Extract Furanosterol Saponin?

Fenugreek Seed Extract is the active ingredient in the dry mature seeds of fenugreek, family Leguminosae. Domestic and foreign studies have shown that Fenugreek Seed Extract contains a large number of steroidal saponins, of which Diosgenin and Yamaosaponin are the most abundant, about 0. 6% ~ 1%; which also contains a variety of flavonoids and flavonoid glycosides; and there are a variety of alkaloids, including choline, fenugreek alkaloids. Modern research shows that fenugreek has a variety of pharmacological effects, including hypoglycemic, hypolipidemic, antioxidant, cardiac and renal protection, gastric mucosa protection, anti-tumor, analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects.

Green Spring Technology supplies Fenugreek Seed Extract Furanosterol Saponin, which is made from high-quality fenugreek seeds, sun-dried, crushed, and then decocted using distilled water to make the active ingredient dissolve in water to make the extract, which is then made through the process of concentration under reduced pressure, filtration, and separation. The use of an ultrafiltration nanofiltration membrane can make the active ingredients reach the required concentration, obtaining high-purity fenugreek seed extract.

Green Spring Technology is a leading plant extract technology company in China, with 24 years of experience in plant extracts. We have a set of systematic quality management systems, from raw material harvesting, pre-treatment and deep-processing processes in strict accordance with GMP production specifications, and professional testing equipment to ensure that the quality of the product (content, microbiology, moisture, ash, pesticide residues, etc.) in line with the European Pharmacopoeia, the U.S. Pharmacopoeia and other international standards.

Benefits:

Lowering Blood Sugar

Fenugreek seed has obvious hypoglycemic activity. The combination of fenugreek seed extract and vanadate (low dose) has a good effect on diabetes. Research has shown that gourd extract can have a hypoglycemic effect by inhibiting the absorption of glucose in the small intestine. Animal experiments have found that after feeding rats with gourd extract, pancreatic islets were observed β Cell damage is reduced, and the contents of low-activity superoxide dismutase and catalase caused by diabetes are also recovered to a certain extent, even close to the normal level. The mechanism may be that 4-hydroxyisoleucine in fenugreek can stimulate pancreatic islets β Cells, and fenugreek alkaloids can reduce the production of nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase by increasing the activity of antioxidant enzymes, thereby alleviating the impact of oxidative free radicals on pancreatic islets β Damage to cells.

Antioxidant Activity    

Fenugreek extracts showed a good scavenging effect on oxidative free radicals and the scavenging rate increased with increasing concentration of the extracts with a quantitative effect relationship. Fenugreek seeds have a high saponin-to-protein content ratio and the extracts of fenugreek seeds, pericarp, and endosperm showed 72%, 64%, and 56% antioxidant activity through free radical scavenging at a concentration of 200 μg /L, respectively, and the study suggests that isolation of fenugreek seeds into pericarp and endosperm can sufficiently improve their antioxidant capacity and help in grading the bioactivity.

Protecting the Kidneys       

As a traditional Chinese medicine in China, fenugreek has the efficacy of dispelling cold, warming the kidneys and strengthening the yang, and is commonly used for lumbar and knee soreness, cold hernia abdominal pain and other diseases. Animal experiments have shown that the total saponins in fenugreek seed extract can improve lipid disorders in rats with nephrotic syndrome models, and this effect may be one of the important ways for fenugreek to improve kidney injury. In addition, fenugreek extract has an obvious therapeutic effect on rats with chronic renal failure, which can reduce the level of urea nitrogen and creatinine in blood, and can effectively reduce the damage to renal tissue.

Cardiovascular and Heart Protection     

Fenugreek has significant cardiovascular protective effects. Studies have shown that fenugreek contains quercetin, which activates potassium channels, induces hyperpolarisation of cells, and then Ca2+ transmembrane flow in endothelial cells, leading to an increase in NO, smooth muscle relaxation and vasorelaxation, thus playing an important role in cardiovascular protection.

Applications:

For Health Products:

Fenugreek extract has a variety of biological activities, such as antioxidant, hypolipidemic, hypoglycaemic, immunomodulatory, and other effects, which is positive on the prevention and improvement of many diseases. Therefore, Fenugreek Extract Fenugreek Extract, as a natural, effective, and safe raw material for health care products, has a very broad prospect in the international market and has great potential for development.

In the Food Field:

The greatest use of fenugreek extract and oleoresin is as a flavouring agent in artificial maple syrup, which is popular with Americans and Canadians. Roasted fenugreek extract has a strong curry flavour and is therefore widely used in savoury cooked products. Unroasted roasted fenugreek seed extract, which contains mainly fixed oils, has a very persistent celery odour and has therefore attracted the attention of perfumers. Fenugreek extracts are also used as flavouring agents in tobacco.

For Feed Product：

Fenugreek seed extract has anti-inflammatory, growth-promoting, and immunity-regulating effects and can be used in feed products. Adding 0.2% fenugreek seed extract to weaned piglets can increase serum immunoglobulin G content and enhance immunity. Adding 1% fenugreek powder to broiler diets can significantly improve white blood cell immunity, lymphocyte and platelet counts, and overall blood parameters and lipids. Feeding fenugreek to dairy cows increased milk production by 16 percent and pup growth by 11 percent, with no harm to pup metabolism.
