White Kidney Bean Extract

Product Overview

● Basic Product Information

➢ Product Name: White Kidney Bean Extract

➢ Latin Name: Phaseolus vulgaris L.

➢ Plant Part Used: Dried seeds of Leguminosae Phaseolus vulgaris

● Product Definition

Manufactured from dried-mature white kidney bean seeds via sorting-impurity removal, low-temperature aqueous extraction, macroporous resin enrichment-purification, vacuum concentration and aseptic spray-drying. The product retains natural active components of white kidney bean (α-amylase inhibitor, phytohemagglutinin, kidney bean polysaccharides), without artificial monomer blending or extra exogenous auxiliary materials. It delivers multiple physiological effects including carbohydrate metabolism regulation, anti-oxidation and anti-inflammatory repair, and is a popular botanical metabolic-management raw material. Compared with crude white kidney bean powder and monomer-blended products, multi-component synergistic effects are superior, suitable for sub-health maintenance targeting carbohydrate control and metabolic conditioning.

● Basic Product Parameters

➢ Raw Material Source: 100% extracted from white kidney bean seeds, free of starch, dextrin and other exogenous additives.

➢ Processing Grade: Low-temperature first-grade refined extract. Strict temperature control protects protein-based activity; no artificial blending. Free of impurities, solvent residues, excessive heavy metals and pesticide residues.

➢ Core Indicators: α-amylase inhibitor activity (inhibitory activity) 1000-6000 AU/g; multiple customized grades available. Balanced activity with excellent anti-oxidation performance.

➢ Physical and Chemical Properties: Off-white to light yellow-brown fine powder with good water-solubility. 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 under cool and dark conditions. Protein-based activity is heat-sensitive to guarantee stable activity.

● Core Product Advantages

➢ Authentic Raw Material, High-purity & High-activity:

Select plump white kidney bean seeds from high-quality producing areas. Strict maturity control ensures sufficient intrinsic activity of α-amylase inhibitor and guarantees raw-material purity from source.

➢ Low-temperature Activity Lock, Natural Components:

Adopt full-process low-temperature aqueous extraction and resin-enrichment processes to maximally preserve heat-sensitive active components such as protein inhibitors and polysaccharides. Natural compound ratio brings better synergistic benefits than pure monomer blending.

➢ Zero-adulteration Purity, Safe & Compliant:

Free of blending, fillers, pigments, flavors, preservatives and harmful auxiliaries. Strictly control residues and microorganisms in compliance with health-food and export pharmacopoeia standards.

➢ Strong Compatibility, Full-scenario Adaptation:

Excellent water-solubility. 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. Protein activity is heat-sensitive; long-time high-temperature procedures shall be avoided in formulation.

➢ Standardized Production, Stable Batch Quality:

Produced in 100,000-class GMP workshop. Enzyme-activity assay combined with HPLC dual-detection strictly controls key enzyme-activity indicators for uniform batch quality and full traceability.

 


Core Advantage

Core Product Characteristics

● Physical Quality Characteristics

Uniform fine powder from off-white to light yellow-brown with natural plant color, loose, delicate and good fluidity. It bears faint bean-like characteristic aroma, free of mildewed or rancid peculiar odor. Conventional grades show favorable water-solubility; encapsulated modified grades further improve taste. Pure and stable quality, superior to crude white kidney bean powder.

● Active Structural Characteristics

Multi-component synergy, carbohydrate-metabolism regulation and powerful anti-oxidation. Compound system of protein inhibitors and polysaccharides achieves better comprehensive performance than single active ingredient. Active components are protein-based and prone to inactivation under high temperature, making up for the shortcoming of single-target effect of ordinary metabolic raw materials.

● Formulation Application Characteristics

Good formulation compatibility with few incompatibility risks. Powder and water-soluble grades fit solid beverages; high-activity grades apply to tablets and capsules; encapsulated modified grades are suitable for pressed candies. Long-time high-temperature sterilization shall be avoided during processing to meet mass-production and high-end development demands.

● Storage Stability Characteristics

Food-grade high-barrier light-proof packaging isolates light, oxygen and moisture. Cool-low-temperature storage is recommended to prevent protein inactivation and moisture absorption. Flexible packaging specifications support lab-scale R&D, pilot test and large-scale production.


Core Active Ingredients and Functional Mechanisms

● Core Functional Ingredients

White kidney bean active complex, mainly α-amylase inhibitor protein, supplemented by kidney bean polysaccharides, phytohemagglutinin and other components. Synergy of multiple components forms the material basis for anti-oxidation, anti-inflammatory repair and carbohydrate-metabolism regulation.

● Free Radical Scavenging & Potent Anti-oxidative Stress (Natural Antioxidant Mechanism)

Kidney bean 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.

● Inhibit α-Amylase Activity & Delay Carbohydrate Decomposition (Carbohydrate Metabolic Regulation Mechanism)

α-amylase inhibitor inhibits activity of digestive α-amylase in gastrointestinal tract, blocks partial starch decomposition into absorbable monosaccharides and reduces carbohydrate absorption, representing the characteristic target of this raw material.

● Regulate Inflammatory Pathways & Relieve Low-grade Bodily Inflammation (Anti-inflammatory Repair Mechanism)

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.

● Regulate Intestinal Environment & Maintain Intestinal Homeostasis (Intestinal-conditioning Mechanism)

As prebiotic-related components, kidney bean polysaccharides participate in intestinal environment modulation and assist in maintaining normal intestinal physiological status.

● Preserve Cell Membrane Integrity & Reduce Oxidative Damage (Cell-protection Mechanism)

Active 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.
