Product Application
Curcumin (CURC) is a fat-soluble substance, which is difficult to dissolve in water. Its application is limited by its low solubility and bioavailability in water. In order to improve the solubility and bioavailability of curcumin (CURC), it can be prepared as cyclodextrin inclusion complex, which has many advantages of low raw material cost, high biosafety and simple preparation method,etc.
Product Advantages
Soluble curcumin-cyclodextrin inclusion complex significantly improves the water solubility, stability and bioavailability of curcumin by combining curcumin with cyclodextrin, thus showing unique application value in the field of cosmetics and animal feed. The following are its specific applications and research progress:
1. Application in cosmetics
1) Antioxidation and anti-aging
Curcumin has strong antioxidant activity, can scavenge free radicals and inhibit oxidative stress reactions. After cyclodextrin inclusion, the stability and transdermal absorption capacity of curcumin are significantly improved.
2) Anti-inflammatory and soothing repair
Curcumin can relieve skin inflammation (such as acne and eczema) by inhibiting the activity of inflammatory factors.
3) Whitening and even skin tone
Curcumin can inhibit tyrosinase activity and reduce melanin production.
2. Application in animal feed
1) Improve production performance and meat quality
Curcumin can enhance animal immunity and reduce the occurrence of diseases. Cyclodextrin inclusion complex significantly reduces the amount of feed additives by improving bioavailability.
2) Antioxidant and anti-stress
Curcumin reduces the effects of heat stress on animals by activating the Nrf2 antioxidant pathway.
3) Replacement of antibiotics and green farming
Curcumin has a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect (such as inhibiting Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus). After cyclodextrin inclusion, its water solubility is enhanced and can be evenly distributed through drinking water or feed. Adding inclusion compounds to the diet of nursery pigs can reduce the diarrhea rate and reduce the use of antibiotics, which is in line with the trend of green farming.
4) Improve laying hen production and egg quality
Curcumin in the inclusion compound can effectively improve the color of egg yolk (natural pigment effect) and reduce the cholesterol content of egg yolk by regulating lipid metabolism.
5) Liver protection and detoxification function
Curcumin inclusion compounds protect animal liver function by promoting bile secretion and repairing liver damage.
