Project Description
Description
Lotus leaf extract is the dry leaf extract of Nymphaeaceae plant lotus, which mainly contains alkaloids, flavonoids, volatile oils and other components. Flavonoids, which are scavengers of most oxygen free radicals, 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, it can also be widely used in functional food, health food, beverage, food preservative and cosmetics.
Benefits & Application
- The ethanol extract of lotus leaf had certain bacteriostatic effect on Penicillium, yeast, Aspergillus Niger and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, but the bacteriostatic effect on yeast and red yeast was better than that on Penicillium and Aspergillus Niger, and with the increase of extract concentration, the bacteriostatic effect was enhanced.
- Weight loss and lipid lowering effect.
Lotus leaf flavonoids can significantly reduce serum cholesterol (TC), serum triglyceride (TG), body weight and increase the activities of serum HDL-C, HL and LPL in hyperlipidemic rats. The extract of lotus leaf can reduce the digestive ability of the body, reduce the absorption of lipids and carbohydrates, and strengthen the regulation of oil metabolism and energy loss, so as to effectively resist obesity. - Antioxidation.
The water extract of lotus leaf is a good antioxidant, which can show very strong antioxidant ability at low concentration. And the antioxidant activity of methanol extract from lotus leaves was similar to that of BHA and slightly higher than that of á-tocopherol. - Anticonvulsant effect.
Nuciferine did not selectively inhibit the nerve excitability caused by amino acids. Nuciferine has an inhibitory effect on the nerve excitation induced by glutamate, but it has a weak inhibitory effect on the nerve excitation caused by aspartic acid and has no inhibitory effect on the excitatory effect induced by acetylcholine. - Antispasmodic effect Nelumbo nucifera alkaloids contained in the extract of lotus leaves have antispasmodic effect on smooth muscle.
- Antihypertensive effect.
The extract and decoction of lotus leaf can directly dilate blood vessels and cause moderate antihypertensive effect in animal experiments.
