Discussion on the relationship between hyperoside and human health
Although winter has arrived, people still miss summer. What they miss is the blooming of Hypericum in various places in summer. The dazzling yellow flowers bring a brilliant color to the earth.
Hypericum, also known as Tulianqiao, Jinxian Butterfly, and Jinsi Haitang, is a plant of the genus Hypericum in the family Guacamole, a semi-evergreen small tree or shrub. Its flowers and leaves are beautiful, the corolla is like peach blossoms, the stamens are golden yellow, slender like golden silk, gorgeous and lovely, and the flowers are golden when they bloom.
Hypericum is also a Chinese herbal medicine. Its roots, stems, leaves, flowers and fruits can all be used as medicine. It has anti-depression, sedation, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, and trauma astringent effects. In particular, it has outstanding antiviral effects. It can resist DNA and RNA viruses and can be used for the treatment of AIDS.
Hypericin extracted from Hypericum is as valuable as gold and is used in beauty and medical treatment.
Hyperoside is a natural product with multiple biological activities and is widely found in various plants. There are various extraction methods, mainly including the following steps4:
1. Crush the fresh Hypericum and soak it in water, then put it into a sieve basket and immerse it in liquid nitrogen, and repeat this process 2-3 times.
2. Dry the Hypericum at low temperature, crush it, and pass it through a 5-30 mesh sieve to obtain Hypericum powder.
3. Mix the Hypericum powder and solvent evenly and place them in an extraction kettle. Supercritical CO2 is introduced into the extraction kettle. The temperature of the extraction kettle is controlled to be 40-50℃ and the extraction pressure is 30-45MPa.
4. The CO2 containing the extract flows out of the extraction kettle and enters the separation kettle for decompression separation to obtain hyperoside.
In addition, there are some other extraction methods, such as ethanol reflux extraction, macroporous adsorption resin column chromatography, etc.
Hyperoside, also known as quercetin-3-O-β-D-pyranogalactoside. Hyperoside is a flavonol glycoside compound, which is widely distributed. For example, the fruits of plants such as Hypericaceae, Campanulaceae, Berberidaceae, Lamiaceae, Ericaceae, and Rosaceae are more abundant. It has multiple physiological activities such as anti-inflammatory, antispasmodic, diuretic, antitussive, antihypertensive, cholesterol-lowering, protein assimilation, local and central analgesic, and protective effects on the heart and brain blood vessels. Exploring the relationship between hyperoside and human health is conducive to improving the resource utilization rate of hyperoside and providing more references for the raw material sources of health foods and functional foods.
Hyperoside Powder(or Hyperasid Powder) is a natural compound belonging to a group of flavonoid compounds known as flavonol glycosides, lt can be found in various plant sources, including fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs. Hyperoside is recognized for its potential health benefits and is widely studied for its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties.
Antioxidant activity: it exhibits potent antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize harmful free radicals and reduce oxidative stress.
Anti-inflammatory effects:Hyperoside has been found to possess anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting pro-inflammatory molecules and modulating the immune response.
Cardiovascular health:Hyperoside has vasodilatory effects, which can widen and relax blood vessels. This may help improve blood flow, reduce blood pressure, and enhance cardiovascular health.
