Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of purslane extracts and relates to a preparation method of the purslane extract and an application thereof. Background Art
[0002] In recent years, a large number of plant extracts have been incorporated into the development of skincare products, including boletus whole plant extracts, orchid plant extracts, plum plant extracts, soybean plant extracts, and camellia plant extracts. Phytochemicals in natural skincare products include fatty acids (skin moisturizing), polyphenols (antioxidant, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory), carotenoids (photoprotective), phytol (skin repairing), and vitamins (antioxidant, anti-aging). Therefore, extracting and enhancing the utilization of phytochemicals is becoming a new trend in their application in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic sectors, necessitating the development of novel processing technologies to enhance the extraction efficiency of phytochemicals.
[0003] Traditional phytochemical extraction involves solvent extraction using organic reagents as a medium. This method optimizes the type and ratio of organic reagents to increase the solubility of phytochemicals. However, this process primarily targets free active compounds and can result in a reduced abundance of active compounds.
