Product Description

Product Profile
Lotus leaf extract is the dried leaf extract of Nelumbonucifera Gaertn., a plant of the Nymphaeaceae family. It mainly contains alkaloids, flavonoids, volatile oils and other ingredients. Flavonoids are scavengers of most oxygen free radicals. They have significant effects on the treatment of coronary heart disease, hypertension and other diseases, and have antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. They can be used as raw materials for cardiovascular diseases and can be widely used in Functional foods, health foods, beverages, food preservatives and cosmetics.

Function
1. Antibacterial effect
Lotus leaf ethanol extract has a certain antibacterial effect on Penicillium, yeast, Aspergillus niger and red yeast, but the antibacterial effect on yeast and red yeast is better than that on Penicillium and Aspergillus niger, and As the concentration of the extract increases, the antibacterial effect increases.

2. Weight loss and lipid-lowering effect
Lotus leaf flavonoids can significantly reduce serum cholesterol (TC), reduce serum triglyceride (TG), reduce body weight and increase serum HDL-C, HL and LPL enzyme activities in hyperlipidemia rats. Lotus leaf extract can reduce the body's digestive capacity, reduce the absorption of lipids and carbohydrates, and strengthen the regulation of lipid metabolism and energy loss, thereby effectively resisting obesity.

3. Antioxidant effect
Modern electron spin resonance spin trapping technology was used to study the scavenging effect of lotus leaf aqueous extract (LLE) on hydroxyl radicals (·OH) and superoxide anion radicals (O2-·). The results show that 26.94ìg·mL-1 of LLE has a clearance rate of 65.6% for O2-· produced by the hypoxanthine-xanthine oxidase system. When the LLE concentration is greater than 8.98 mg·mL-1, it can completely remove O2-· produced by the Fenten reaction system. ·OH, about 40ìg·mL-1 of LLE can remove O2-·. It can be seen that the water extract of lotus leaf is a good antioxidant and can show very strong antioxidant ability at a low concentration. And the antioxidant activity of lotus leaf methanol extract is equivalent to BHA and slightly higher than á-tocopherol.

4. Anticonvulsant effect
Nuciferine does not selectively inhibit neuronal excitation induced by amino acids. Nuciferine has an inhibitory effect on the nerve excitation caused by glutamate, but has a weak inhibitory effect on the nerve excitation caused by aspartate, and has no inhibitory effect on the excitability induced by acetylcholine.

5. Antispasmodic effect
Lotus leaf extract contains nuciferine substances, which have an antispasmodic effect on smooth muscles.

6. Antihypertensive effect
Lotus leaf infusions and decoctions can directly dilate blood vessels and cause moderate antihypertensive effects in animal experiments.

7.Other functions
Alkaloids have anti-viral, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic effects; total alkaloids have anti-mitotic effects and inhibit pancreatic lipase; lotus leaf extract has the effect of inhibiting HIV proliferation.
