Eucommia Ulmoides Extract

1. Raw materials and extraction parts

Main sources:

Bark: Traditional medicinal parts, containing core ingredients such as Eucommia gum and pinoresinol diglucoside.

Leaves: Modern research hotspot, rich in chlorogenic acid and flavonoids.

Seeds: Contains Eucommia seed oil (rich in linolenic acid) and polysaccharides.

Common extraction parts: Bark or leaves are often used in industrial production.

2. Extraction process

Depending on the target components, a variety of technologies are used:

Solvent extraction method: Extraction with organic solvents such as ethanol and methanol (suitable for pinoresinol diglucoside and chlorogenic acid).

Water extraction method: Low cost, but with more impurities.

Ultrasonic/microwave-assisted extraction: improve efficiency and reduce component damage.

Supercritical CO₂ extraction: suitable for eucommia gum or high-purity active ingredients, no solvent residue.

3. Core ingredients

The active ingredients of eucommia extracts vary depending on the extraction site and process:

Pinoresinol diglucoside: a signature ingredient that regulates blood pressure and is an antioxidant.

Chlorogenic acid: anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and promotes metabolism.

Gutta-percha: a natural rubber that may promote collagen synthesis.

Polysaccharides: immunomodulatory, anti-tumor potential.

Flavonoids (such as quercetin): antioxidant, cardiovascular protection.

Iridoids: anti-fatigue, improve liver function.

4. Main effects

Traditional Chinese medicine theory

Nourishes the liver and kidneys, strengthens the tendons and bones: used for back pain and osteoporosis.

Prenatal care: regulates weakness during pregnancy.

Lowering blood pressure and blood lipids: traditionally used as an auxiliary treatment for hypertension.

Supported by modern research

Cardiovascular protection: dilates blood vessels and lowers cholesterol.

Antioxidant and anti-aging: removes free radicals and protects cells.

Promotes bone health: stimulates osteoblast activity and inhibits osteoclasts.

Regulates blood sugar: improves insulin resistance (animal experiments).

Neuroprotection: may alleviate Alzheimer's disease-related pathology.

Antibacterial and antiviral: has an inhibitory effect on some pathogens (such as Staphylococcus aureus).

5. Application areas

Medicine: auxiliary treatment of hypertension, osteoporosis, liver damage, etc.

Health products: made into capsules, tablets or added to functional foods (such as antihypertensive tea, liver protection tablets).

Cosmetics: anti-aging ingredients (eucommia gum moisturizing, antioxidant).

Food additives: natural preservatives or nutritional enhancers.

Agriculture: Eucommia extract is used as a plant disease resistance enhancer.

6. Difference from Eucommia Extract Powder

Form: Extracts can be powder, liquid or concentrated paste, while "extract powder" refers specifically to powder form.

Purity: Extracts may be further purified (such as removing Eucommia gum) and have more concentrated ingredients.

Use: Extract powder is easier to store and add to products, while liquid extracts may be used directly in certain preparations.
