Resveratrol
Resveratrol is a highly active natural polyphenol and a typical plant phytoalexin. Its core bioactive component is trans-resveratrol. Resveratrol exhibits multiple physiological activities, including strong antioxidant effects, free-radical scavenging, delayed cell senescence, immune regulation, cardiovascular protection and improved metabolism, making it a globally popular anti-aging raw material. It is widely used in health-care products and functional foods. In cosmetics, it effectively alleviates dull complexion, fine lines, laxity, sensitivity and redness. In recent years, as a typical plant phytoalexin, resveratrol has become one of the key raw materials for the emerging green biological pesticides.
trans-3,5,4'-Trihydroxystilbene (trans-Resveratrol)
Molecular formula: C14H12O3
Molecular weight: 228.25
Main Application Fields
1. Health-Care Products and Functional Foods
As a globally popular anti-aging raw material, resveratrol is widely used in anti-aging dietary supplements, oral liquids, solid beverages, tablet candies and functional meal replacements. Long-term consumption helps maintain the body and delay aging, meeting the development needs of high-end healthy foods.
2. Cosmetics and Skin-Care Products
With excellent effects of anti-oxidation, anti-photoaging, anti-inflammatory soothing, melanin inhibition and collagen synthesis promotion, resveratrol is widely applied in anti-aging serums, repairing creams, whitening masks, toners and emulsions, and is suitable for high-end anti-aging and post-medical-aesthetics repairing skin-care products.
3. Pharmaceutical Industry
With multiple pharmacological activities such as anti-inflammation, anti-virus, anti-tumor, cardiovascular protection and blood-lipid regulation, resveratrol can serve as a premium pharmaceutical raw material for the R&D and production of drugs for cardiovascular protection, immune regulation and anti-oxidation.
4. Agricultural Industry
As a naturally occurring plant phytoalexin, resveratrol can be developed into plant immune elicitors, biological fungicides, post-harvest fresh-keeping agents and pesticide synergistic adjuvants. Registered pesticide products already exist in China (10% resveratrol technical material and 0.2% soluble concentrate).
(1) Biological control of crop diseases: It shows significant inhibitory effects on a variety of fungal and bacterial diseases of crops. It strongly inhibits common fungal diseases such as grey mould, downy mildew, early blight, black spot and penicillium rot, as well as bacterial diseases such as bacterial black spot. It is applicable to cash crops and fruit & vegetable crops including grape, strawberry, cucumber, tomato, ginseng and walnut.
(2) Plant immune elicitation, stress-resistance enhancement and yield increase: Exogenous foliar spraying actively activates the plant's own disease-defense pathways, raises the activity of disease-resistance enzymes in plant tissues, and enhances the resistance of crops to stress such as disease, high temperature, drought and strong light. It reduces disease incidence, cuts down the use of chemical pesticides, improves quality and increases yield, with no risk of resistance development.
(3) Post-harvest fresh-keeping and anti-rot for fruits and vegetables: For post-harvest treatment of fruits and vegetables such as grape, strawberry, tomato and citrus, spraying or fruit-dipping inhibits mould growth during storage, reduces decay loss, suppresses ethylene release and delays senescence, effectively prolonging shelf life. It is a safe and green alternative to chemical preservatives.
(4) Synergistic adjuvant for pesticide tank-mixing: It can be tank-mixed with conventional fungicides such as pyrimethanil and procymidone to produce a significant synergistic effect, effectively improving the bactericidal efficacy, reducing the dosage of chemical pesticides and delaying the development of pathogen resistance. It fits the planting systems that feature green and reduced application of fertilizers and pesticides.
Core Product Advantages
- Produced by a fermentation process; free of plant secondary-metabolite impurities and emodin, with no pesticide residues and no polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Heavy-metal and microbial parameters are far superior to industry standards.
- Dominated by highly active trans-resveratrol, with an extremely low content of the inactive cis-isomer. It features high activity, high purity and excellent batch-to-batch stability.
- Naturally biosynthesized structure fully identical to plant-sourced native resveratrol. It has good biocompatibility and can degrade naturally in the human body, soil and plant tissues.
