Ellagic Acid Powder

What Is Ellagic Acid Powder?

Ellagic acid powder is an organic substance with a chemical formula of C14H6O8, a polyphenol dilactone, and a dimeric derivative of gallic acid. A natural polyphenol component that widely exists in various soft fruits, nuts and other plant tissues. The color reaction with ferric chloride is blue, and it is yellow when it meets sulfuric acid.
Ellagic acid can not only exist in free form, but more in condensed form (such as ellagitannin, glycoside, etc.) in nature. Ellagic acid is positive in reaction with Greiss-meger, and it is also easy to combine with metal cations such as ca2 and M. Melting point (pyridine) is greater than 360 ºC, slightly soluble in water and alcohol, soluble in alkali, pyridine and dimethyl sulfoxide, insoluble in ether.
Ellagic acid is especially rich in pomegranate plants (pomegranate leaf extract and pomegranate juice). It is a dimeric derivative of gallic acid, a polyphenolic dilactone. It can not only exist in free form, but more in condensed form (such as ellagitannin, glycoside, etc.) in nature.

What Are The Benefits?   

Ellagic acid is an extremely effective antioxidant found so far, which can effectively fight against the production and deepening of melanin. Compared with other traditional whitening ingredients, its miraculous antioxidant power has a unique double effect: first, it can neutralize The copper in it blocks the complexation of copper ions and tyrosine, thereby affecting the production process of melanocytes, directly blocking the possibility of melanin formation by melanocytes, and greatly reducing the chance of new spots; secondly, even if melanin has formed, it can also neutralize The harmful free radicals produced during the formation of melanin can inhibit its diffusion, regulate the oxidation reaction, neutralize the environment of melanocytes, and effectively inhibit the further deepening of melanin. Fades dark spots while continuing to oxidize.
1.Whitening

Ellagic acid is one of the effective whitening ingredients recognized by dermatologists. At present, people's concept of skin whitening has undergone fundamental changes, from physical whitening to melanin reduction and other methods of biological whitening.

2.Convergence

The astringent properties make cosmetics containing ellagic acid have good adhesion to the skin under waterproof conditions, and can shrink the large pores, tighten the loose skin to reduce wrinkles, and prevent the skin from secreting too much oil.
In addition to being used in skin care products, ellagic acid can also be used in antiperspirants to reduce sweat secretion by astringent sweat glands; or added to hair products to use its astringent effect to prevent scalp oily hair loss and dandruff.

3.Anti-aging
Studies have shown that ellagic acid and its derivatives can strengthen the dermis-epidermal junction by increasing the ratio of keratinocytes to fibroblast VII medium collagen, so as to achieve the purpose of reducing wrinkles, tightening skin, regulating skin quality and delaying skin aging.
Ellagic acid can effectively promote the regeneration of elastic fibers in the skin, protect the degradation of elastic fibrous protein, especially reduce the skin tissue damage caused by long-term or frequent radiation and ultraviolet radiation in the sun, and slow down photoaging.

4.Radiation protection

Ellagic acid and its condensed form, ellagitannin, are the main constituents in pomegranate juice. Afaq et al. used enhanced ultraviolet B (UVB) to irradiate human epidermal keratinocytes (NHEK) to study the anti-ultraviolet radiation effect of pomegranate juice.
The results showed that pomegranate juice mediated the phosphorylation of mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAKP) signaling pathway in a time-dose-dependent manner in human epidermal keratinocytes, and the phosphorylation of serine 536 of NF-KB/P65 by pomegranate juice A time-dose-dependent inhibition was observed. Experiments show that pomegranate juice plays an anti-radiation effect through the intervention of MAKP signaling pathway.

5. Scavenge free radicals
Since the 1950s, the antioxidant properties of ellagic acid in the human body and in vitro have been continuously explored and studied. More and more research results have shown that ellagic acid has a strong ability to scavenge free radicals and antioxidant. It has a scavenging effect on oxygen free radicals and hydroxyl free radicals, and its ability to scavenge free radicals is higher than antioxidants such as sesamol, olive leaf extract and lutein.
6. Inhibit lipid peroxidation
In terms of inhibiting lipid peroxidation, it is considered to be the most effective inhibitor of the initial stage of microsomal NADPH-dependent lipid peroxidation, and can also strongly inhibit lipid peroxidation induced by doxorubicin. Ellagic acid inhibits ironmyoglobin/hydrogen peroxide-dependent lipid peroxidation. In T cells, it can prevent lipid peroxide (LPO) induced by foreign substances, inhibit the generation of reactive oxygen species (ROS), and improve cell death caused by cytotoxin.
7. Other antioxidant activities
Ellagic acid reduces cellular damage caused by radiation, hydrogen peroxide, and mitomycin C in mouse bone marrow cells. Effectively inhibits the oxidation of DCDHF induced by pernitrite as well as the oxidation of pernitrite itself. Meanwhile, ellagic acid prevented pernitrite-induced single-strand breaks in pTZ 18U plasmid DNA and nitration of tyrosyl groups in bovine serum albumin. Thus protecting biomolecules from oxidative and nitrative damage induced by nitrite in vitro.

Application Direction

Flower acid can be widely used in medicine, food, health products, cosmetics and other fields: in the field of medicine and health products, it is made into capsules, mainly used for blood pressure reduction and anti-oxidation; in the field of food, it is mainly used for food antioxidants; In the field of cosmetics, it has the effects of whitening, freckle removal, wrinkle removal, and delaying skin aging.
