Researchers in China Developed a New Technology for Utilization of Seabuckthorn Fruit Waste Residues

According to the reporter recently learned that Chinese scientists have used a one-step method to extract biotechnology and extracted seabuckthorn flavonoids, seabuckthorn polysaccharides and other medicinal substances from seabuckthorn fruit residue. Seabuckthorn fruit residue using new technology - one-step extraction of biotechnology, and the use of this technology to extract seabuckthorn flavonoids, sea buckthorn polysaccharides extracted oil residue of sea buckthorn fruit residue, by the East China Normal University College of Life Sciences Professor Wei Jing inventor. Experiments have shown that 2.4% of flavonoids and 1% of seabuckthorn polysaccharides can be extracted per 100 grams of seabuckthorn fruit residue. The seabuckthorn flavonoids extracted from sea buckthorn fruit residue are more than 20% effective in hypoglycemic, which can prevent the formation of glycation end products. Therefore, there are potential therapeutic prospects for preventing the occurrence and treatment of chronic diabetic complications, and prevent hardening of the arteries. Seabuckthorn flavone also has apoptosis effect on breast cancer cells. Seabuckthorn polysaccharide has a certain therapeutic effect on type 2 diabetes. East China Normal University cooperated with Inner Mongolia Yuhangren High-tech Industry Responsibility Co., Ltd. and established a production line for extracting seabuckthorn flavonoids and seabuckthorn polysaccharides from seabuckthorn fruit residues in Hohhot. Inner Mongolia plans to plant more than 1.8 million mu of seabuckthorn. If the production capacity of this production line is up to standard, the annual production value is expected to be more than 600 million yuan. The sea buckthorn, which is long-thorned, is about one meter or one and a half meters high. It grows mainly in the northwest region of China. It is drought and saline-alkali resistant. If there is only one drop of rain under long-term drought, it can grow rapidly. It is the preferred plant for preventing wind, sand, and soil erosion. Planting an acre of sea buckthorn can fix 44 tons of sand without flowing, which can reduce the loss of nearby surface water by 75%. In order to prevent the desertification of China's land area and expand the oasis in the desertification area, the relevant state departments implemented the seabuckthorn plantation demonstration project in the northwest region. Prof. Qi Weijing said that the residue of the golden-colored seabuckthorn fruit after oil extraction is turned into a treasure, which can fully mobilize the enthusiasm of farmers in planting seabuckthorn and accelerate the promotion of the seabuckthorn demonstration project in China.
