Embodiment Construction

[0064] The present invention relates to a composition comprising an extract of oil palm tree leaves, characterized in that said extract comprises (-)-catechin gallate, ferulic acid and phenolic acids such as gallic acid and protocatechin .

[0065] The oil palm tree leaves of the present invention include leaves of plants selected from the plant genus Oil palm including African oil palm or American oil palm.

[0066] The novel composition of the present invention comprises about 0.1% to about 95% by weight of (-)-catechin gallate, about 0.1% to about 95% by weight of ferulic acid and about 0.1% by weight to approximately 95% total phenolic acids such as gallic acid and protocatechuic acid.

[0067] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the composition comprises about 0.5% to about 10% by weight of (-)-catechin gallate, about 1% to about 5% of ferulic acid Acids and total phenolic acids such as gallic acid and protocatechuic acid in an amount of about 5% to abou...

Abstract

Provided is a composition comprising an extract from oil palm leaves characterized in that the extract comprises (-)-catechin gallate, ferulic acid, and phenolic acids such as gallic acid and protocatechuic acid and a method for producing said extract comprising the steps of (a) extracting the dried or fresh oil palm leaves with a solvent, (b) filtering the extract obtained in (a), (c) contacting the filtered extract from (b) with an chromatographic medium which selectively adsorbs a fraction containing (-)-catechin gallate, ferulic acid, and phenolic acids, (d)eluting the said fraction from the chromatographic medium using a solvent, (e) drying the eluted fraction obtained in step (d). Also claimed is the use of the composition for reducing or preventing oxidative stress in mammals and poultry.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to oil palm tree leaf extracts having a therapeutic effect to reduce or avoid oxidative stress in humans and lower animals. In particular, the present invention relates to fractions of extracts rich in (-)-catechin gallate, ferulic acid and phenolic acids, such as gallic acid and protocatechin, which have the therapeutic effect. Background technique [0002] Oil palms (Elaeis) include two species of the palm family (Arecaceae), or palm family. The African oil palm (Elaeis guineensis) is native to West Africa, and the American oil palm (Elaeis oleifera) is native to tropical regions of Central and South America. The African oil palm tree is also widely grown in Malaysia and Indonesia for its oil-producing fruits. [0003] Mature oil palms are single-stemmed plants up to 20 meters tall, with pinnate leaves that can reach a length of 3 to 5 meters. A young tree produces about 30 leaves a year. The flowers of the oil palm...
