Plant Extracts
➢ Product Name: Mulberry Leaf Extract
➢ Latin Name: Morus alba L.
➢ Plant Part Used: Dried leaves of Moraceae Morus alba
Manufactured from dried mulberry leaves via sorting-impurity removal, water-ethanol composite extraction, macroporous resin enrichment-purification, vacuum concentration and aseptic spray-drying. The product retains natural active components of mulberry leaf (1-deoxynojirimycin, flavonoids, alkaloids and polysaccharides), without artificial monomer blending or extra exogenous auxiliary materials. It delivers multiple physiological effects including anti-oxidation, anti-inflammation and carbohydrate-lipid metabolism regulation, and is a classic medicine-food homologous botanical raw material. Compared with crude mulberry leaf powder and monomer-blended products, multi-component synergistic effects are superior, suitable for sub-health maintenance targeting metabolic regulation and anti-oxidation.
➢ Raw Material Source: 100% extracted from mulberry leaves, free of starch, dextrin and other exogenous additives.
➢ Processing Grade: Low-temperature first-grade refined extract. High-temperature-caused degradation of alkaloids and flavonoids is avoided; no artificial blending. Free of impurities, solvent residues, excessive heavy metals and pesticide residues.
➢ Core Indicators: 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ, HPLC) 1%-5%, total flavonoids 5%-20%, mulberry leaf polysaccharides 10%-30%. Balanced activity with excellent anti-oxidation performance.
➢ Physical and Chemical Properties: Yellow-brown to brown fine powder with good water-solubility. High-content grades and encapsulated modified grades are available for multiple dosage-form development.
➢ Applicable Dosage Forms: Tablets, capsules, soft capsules, solid beverages, pressed candies, compound powders and others.
➢ Storage Properties: Sealed, light-proof and moisture-proof. Store in cool and dry place for long-term stable activity.
➢ Authentic Raw Material, High-purity & High-activity:
Select mulberry leaves harvested around frost-fall from high-quality producing areas. Strict harvesting-period control ensures sufficient intrinsic contents of DNJ, flavonoids and polysaccharides to guarantee raw-material purity from source.
➢ Low-temperature Activity Lock, Natural Components:
Adopt full-process low-temperature extraction and resin-enrichment processes to fully preserve multi-category active components including alkaloids, flavonoids and polysaccharides. Natural compound ratio brings better synergistic benefits than pure DNJ monomer blending.
➢ Zero-adulteration Purity, Safe & Compliant:
Free of blending, fillers, pigments, flavors, preservatives and harmful auxiliaries. Residues and microorganisms are strictly controlled in compliance with health-food and export pharmacopoeia standards.
➢ Strong Compatibility, Full-scenario Adaptation:
Excellent water-solubility and good acid-alkali tolerance. Can be used alone or compounded with other botanical raw materials, adaptable to water-based, oil-based and solid-form systems for full-category product development.
➢ Standardized Production, Stable Batch Quality:
Produced in 100,000-class GMP workshop. Tested by HPLC and UV dual-methods. Key indicators are strictly controlled for uniform batch quality and full traceability.
Uniform fine powder from yellow-brown to brown with natural plant color, loose, delicate and good fluidity. It bears faint herbal fragrance characteristic of mulberry leaf, free of mildewed or scorched peculiar odor. Conventional grades show favorable water-solubility; encapsulated modified grades further improve taste. Pure and stable quality, superior to crude mulberry leaf powder.
Multi-component synergy, metabolic regulation and powerful anti-oxidation. Compound system of alkaloids, flavonoids and polysaccharides achieves better comprehensive performance than single monomer. Good water-solubility and fair processing tolerance, making up for the shortcoming of single-target effect of ordinary single-function raw materials.
Good formulation compatibility with few incompatibility risks. Water-soluble grades fit solid beverages and drinks; high-content grades apply to tablets and capsules; encapsulated modified grades reduce bitter-astringent taste for functional candies. Adaptable to various processes to meet mass-production and high-end development demands.
Food-grade high-barrier light-proof packaging isolates light, oxygen and moisture to prevent moisture absorption and oxidation. Store at cool room temperature without freezing. Flexible packaging specifications support lab-scale R&D, pilot test and large-scale production.
Core Active Ingredients and Functional Mechanisms
Mulberry leaf active complex, mainly including 1-deoxynojirimycin (DNJ), quercetin, kaempferol and other flavonoids, as well as mulberry leaf polysaccharides. Synergy of multiple components forms the material basis for anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory repair and carbohydrate-lipid metabolism regulation.
Flavonoids and polysaccharides directly scavenge reactive-oxygen free radicals and inhibit lipid peroxidation. They up-regulate endogenous antioxidant enzymes such as SOD and glutathione to build dual anti-oxidant barriers, relieve oxidative damage and delay cellular senescence.
DNJ inhibits intestinal α-glucosidase activity, delays decomposition and absorption of carbohydrates and smooths postprandial metabolic fluctuation, representing the characteristic target of this raw material.
Modulate NF-κB signaling pathway, down-regulate release of pro-inflammatory factors including TNF-α and IL-6, suppress chronic low-grade inflammation in vivo and mitigate inflammatory damage induced by oxidative stress.
Flavonoids cooperate with mulberry leaf polysaccharides to modulate lipid metabolism, assist in regulating in-vivo lipid levels, reduce metabolic load and maintain metabolic homeostasis.
Active flavonoids and polysaccharides act on cell membranes, mitigate free-radical attack against membrane lipids, maintain cell-membrane structural integrity and reduce cell damage induced by external oxidative stimuli.
Raw material for metabolic-regulation health-foods, applied in capsules, tablets and solid beverages for crowds with metabolic pressure and sub-health conditioning demands.
