Application
Bilberry extract is rich in anthocyanins. Because anthocyanins can show rich and bright colors under certain conditions, it can be used as a food additive. At the same time, anthocyanins are also a strong antioxidant and free radical scavenger. , so it can be used as an ingredient in dietary supplements and as a raw material in the pharmaceutical industry.
1. Application in food additive industry
Bilberry extract is a food colorant with good color quality and wide color gamut. It can show different colors in acidic and weakly alkaline environments. It can be added to different styles of food. It is also a joint food coloring agent of the United Nations FAO/WHO. Based on the existing toxicological data, the Expert Committee on Additives believes that anthocyanins are "minimally toxic" and has listed them as natural pigment food additives (E163). Anthocyanin extracts (including bilberry extracts) are also listed by the US FDA. It is a food additive that does not require certification and is allowed to be used in beverages, dairy products and pastries.
2. Application in functional food industry
Uncontrolled oxidation reactions and free radical attacks are one of the root causes of human aging and disease. The large number of phenolic hydroxyl groups contained in anthocyanin molecules can powerfully combat uncontrolled oxidation and free radical attacks in the body, slowing down or inhibiting the human body. Therefore, bilberry extract can be used as a functional ingredient in functional foods or directly made into dietary supplements. In addition, anthocyanins also have the effect of improving people's night vision, that is, dark vision. Anthocyanins activate the rhodopsin resynthesis system, thereby improving vision.
3.Application in pharmaceutical industry
Application in the pharmaceutical industry There are currently many experiments showing that anthocyanins have antioxidant effects on mammalian cells, induce apoptosis of cancer cells, inhibit their growth, and inhibit inflammatory reactions. Although anthocyanins are highly water-soluble substances, experiments have confirmed that the existence of prototype anthocyanins can be detected in cells, indicating that anthocyanins can be absorbed by cells through the cell membrane, which provides great convenience for the absorption and metabolism of anthocyanins. It also provides great convenience for the application of anthocyanins in the pharmaceutical industry. In Europe, bilberry extract with anthocyanin content greater than 24% is used for medicinal purposes.
