Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of cosmetics and food ingredients technology, specifically relating to a coffee fruit peel extract, a method for preparing micro-molecular cluster water, and their application in cosmetics or food. Background Technology
[0002] Coffee cherry peel is a major byproduct of coffee bean processing and is usually discarded as waste. Studies have shown that coffee cherry peel contains abundant natural active ingredients such as polysaccharides, chlorogenic acid, and caffeine, possessing potential skincare benefits including antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. However, traditional extraction processes (such as hot water extraction and organic solvent extraction) suffer from low efficiency, high energy consumption, potential damage to heat-sensitive components, and solvent residue risks, limiting the high-value development and utilization of coffee cherry peel and its application in the safety-critical cosmetics field.
[0003] On the other hand, in cosmetic formulations, the transdermal absorption efficiency of active ingredients is a key factor determining their final efficacy. Many active ingredients (such as whitening and anti-aging ingredients) have difficulty effectively penetrating the skin's stratum corneum barrier due to their molecular weight or polarity. Currently, chemical penetration enhancers (such as azone and Tween) are often added to improve permeability, but some penetration enhancers may pose a risk of skin irritation, and long-term use may damage the skin barrier, which contradicts the trend of cosmetics pursuing safety and gentleness.
[0004] In summary, existing technologies lack methods for efficiently and gently enriching active ingredients from coffee fruit peels; they also lack plant extracts that do not rely on traditional chemical penetration enhancers and possess excellent biocompatibility and the ability to promote transdermal penetration of active ingredients. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a coffee fruit peel extract, a method for preparing micro-molecular cluster water, and its application in cosmetics or food. The coffee fruit peel extract (also known as micro-molecular coffee fruit peel cell fluid) provided by this invention is not only rich in active ingredients, but also has excellent effects in promoting the transdermal penetration of active ingredients. At the same time, it also has the characteristics of promoting digestion and absorption, high safety, and non-irritation. When applied to cosmetics or food, it can reduce or eliminate the need for traditional chemical penetration enhancers, and can be widely used in cosmetics or food, with significant economic benefits.

The solution was concentrated to obtain coffee fruit peel extract.

[0008] Preferably, the conditions for negative pressure cavitation extraction also include: the particle size of the coffee fruit peel raw material is 1~20mm, the negative pressure cavitation time is 40~65min, the liquid-to-material ratio is 4:1~8:1, and the extraction is performed once.
[0009] Preferably, the solid-liquid separation is performed by filtration using a sieve, wherein the mesh size of the sieve used for filtration is 60 mesh and 80 mesh respectively; the macroporous adsorption resin filling the macroporous adsorption resin column includes one or more of X-5, AB-8, NK-2, NKA-2, NK-9, D312, D001, D101 and WLD.
[0010] Preferably, the macroporous adsorption resin column is made of D312 acrylic macroporous resin and D001 styrene macroporous resin used in series. The elution includes a first-stage elution and a second-stage elution; the molar concentration of NaCl in the sodium chloride solution used in the first-stage elution is 0.25~0.35 mol / L, and the molar concentration of NaCl in the sodium chloride solution used in the second-stage elution is 0.05~0.15 mol / L.
[0011] Preferably, the concentration is a membrane concentration; the solid content of the coffee fruit peel extract is 6~7 mg / mL.
[0012] This invention provides a coffee pericarp extract prepared by the preparation method described in the above technical solution.
[0013] This invention provides the application of the coffee fruit peel extract described above in cosmetics or food.
[0014] Preferably, the cosmetic is a formulation that promotes the transdermal penetration of active ingredients; the food is a formulation used to promote digestion and absorption.
[0015] This invention provides a cosmetic product comprising an active ingredient and the coffee fruit peel extract described in the above technical solution; the active ingredient comprises one or more of ferulic acid, dipotassium glycyrrhizate, niacinamide, and oligopeptides.
[0016] This invention provides a method for preparing coffee pericarp extract (also known as "micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell sap") based on micro-molecular cluster water, comprising the following steps: extracting coffee pericarp raw material and a first micro-molecular cluster water using negative pressure cavitation to obtain the extract material, wherein the first micro-molecular cluster water... 17 The O-NMR full width at half maximum (WHM) is less than 100 Hz. The negative pressure cavitation extraction conditions include: negative pressure of -0.075 to -0.08 MPa and extraction temperature of 2 to 25°C. The extract material is subjected to solid-liquid separation to obtain an extract. The extract is then adsorbed onto a macroporous adsorption resin column and eluted with a sodium chloride solution comprising NaCl and second-micro-cluster water. 17 An O-NMR half-peak width of less than 100 Hz was obtained, yielding an eluent; the eluent was then concentrated to obtain a coffee pericarp extract. Firstly, this invention employs... 17Using micro-molecular cluster water with a half-peak width of less than 100 Hz in O-NMR as the extraction solvent, this invention differs from the commonly used ordinary macromolecular cluster water in existing technologies. It has high reactivity, low surface tension, improved fluidity and wettability, and significantly enhanced permeation and diffusion capabilities. This invention combines negative pressure cavitation extraction. The high permeability and low surface tension of the micro-molecular cluster water allow it to quickly penetrate into the cell wall micro-cracks and cell interior generated by negative pressure cavitation, significantly shortening the path and time for active ingredients to diffuse from the cell to the solvent, enhancing the mass transfer efficiency of cavitation extraction, and solving the technical problems of ordinary macromolecular cluster water's inability to enter micropores and slow mass transfer. At the same time, this invention optimizes the pressure conditions of negative pressure cavitation. The local extreme environment generated by negative pressure cavitation can further activate the reactivity of micro-molecular cluster water, increasing its solubility capacity for active ingredients in coffee pericarps, and avoiding the problems of incomplete dissolution and high residue of active ingredients in traditional ordinary water extraction. Secondly, this invention uses micro-molecular cluster water as an extraction solvent to achieve solid-liquid separation of the extract. Due to the high wettability and high dispersibility of the micro-molecular cluster water, the active ingredients in the extract can be uniformly dispersed, preventing them from agglomerating and clogging the resin pores. At the same time, its low viscosity and high mass transfer rate characteristics can promote the rapid diffusion of active ingredients into the resin channels, improving the resin's adsorption kinetics and saturated adsorption capacity. In addition, the micro-molecular cluster water has weak selectivity for dissolving water-soluble impurities such as polysaccharides and proteins, which can reduce the competition between impurities and target active ingredients for resin adsorption sites, significantly improving adsorption purity. Third, the eluent used in the elution stage of this invention is a sodium chloride solution prepared with micro-molecular cluster water as the solvent. This small-molecule cluster water can quickly penetrate deep into the resin pores, efficiently replacing the adsorbed active ingredients, thus solving the problem of ordinary water's inability to elute deep-layer components and incomplete elution. Simultaneously, the micro-molecular cluster water reduces the surface tension of the eluent, synergistically disrupting the hydrophobic and hydrogen bonding interactions between the active ingredients and the resin with sodium chloride, further improving elution efficiency and resolution. Furthermore, the elution process is gentle and does not damage the structure of the active ingredients, ensuring the high purity and high bioactivity of the final extract. Therefore, this invention, through the combination of micro-molecular cluster water, negative pressure cavitation extraction, and macroporous adsorption resin, achieves a synergistic effect of enhanced extraction medium characteristics, improved physical field cell wall disruption, and precise adsorption separation. The resulting micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell sap is not only rich in active ingredients but also possesses excellent efficacy in promoting transdermal penetration of active ingredients, while also promoting digestion and absorption, high safety, and non-irritating properties.
[0017] In summary, compared with the prior art, the micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell sap prepared by this invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) Excellent transdermal penetration enhancement effect Permeability experiments using the Franz diffusion cell verified that, with ferulic acid as a model drug, the coffee pericarp extract (also known as micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell sap) prepared in this invention exhibits a superior transdermal permeation-enhancing effect on ferulic acid compared to commonly used permeation enhancers such as 3% water-soluble azone solution and 0.5% Tween solution. Furthermore, its permeation-enhancing effect is significantly better than that of coffee pericarp extract prepared using traditional extraction processes (the heating extraction process used in Comparative Example 1). This indicates that the coffee pericarp extract prepared in this invention can effectively help active ingredients penetrate the skin barrier and enhance the efficacy of cosmetic formulations.
[0018] (2) Promotes digestion and absorption Efficacy evaluation using zebrafish as a model organism showed that after using the coffee pericarp extract prepared according to this invention, the lipid staining intensity of blood vessels from the intestine to the tail of zebrafish was significantly higher than that of the normal control group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). This demonstrates that the coffee pericarp extract prepared according to this invention has the effect of promoting digestion and absorption under the experimental conditions.
[0019] (3) High safety and non-irritating Cytotoxicity tests using the CCK-8 assay showed that, within a concentration range of 0–100 mg / mL, the coffee pericarp extract prepared in this invention exhibited no cytotoxicity against either HaCaT (hydroepiandrotic epidermal cells) or HSF (hymenal fibroblasts). Furthermore, according to the IS-CAM criteria for the chicken embryo chorioallantoic membrane assay, the coffee pericarp extract prepared in this invention had an irritation score of 0.07, classifying it as “non-irritating,” thus demonstrating its safety for use in cosmetics.
[0020] (4) Stable physicochemical properties and clearly defined active ingredients Characterization revealed that the coffee pericarp extract prepared by this invention is a brownish-red transparent liquid with a characteristic odor. 17 The half-peak width of the O-NMR spectrum was 64.353 Hz, confirming the structural characteristics of the micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell sap of this invention as micro-molecular cluster water. Simultaneously, the coffee pericarp extract prepared by this invention is rich in polysaccharides (2.42 mg / mL) and contains active ingredients such as caffeine and chlorogenic acid. The coffee pericarp extract product prepared by this invention exhibits excellent microbiological indicators (total colony count, total mold and yeast counts are all <10 CFU / mL) and stable physicochemical properties.
[0021] (5) The process is mild, green and efficient. The preparation method provided by this invention employs a low-temperature physical extraction and purification process throughout, avoiding the damage to heat-sensitive components caused by high temperatures. Utilizing the high permeability of micro-molecular cluster water and negative pressure cavitation technology, the extraction efficiency and purity of the target active ingredient are significantly improved.

[0069] Test Example 2 and the effect of commonly used penetration enhancers on percutaneous penetration Objective: To conduct a Franz diffusion cell permeability experiment using ferulic acid as a model drug, and to compare and evaluate the transdermal permeation-enhancing effects of the micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell sap prepared in Example 1 and two commonly used permeation enhancers, water-soluble azone and Tween, on ferulic acid.
[0070] Principle: This test case is based on the transdermal absorption mechanism, using ferulic acid as a model drug and a Franz dispersion pool to simulate the skin drug delivery environment. Ferulic acid formulations containing different penetration enhancers were placed in the supply chamber and brought into contact with simulated skin (Bama miniature pig skin), while the receiving chamber maintained physiological conditions through constant temperature circulation. The penetration enhancers altered the structure of the stratum corneum, promoting the permeation of ferulic acid into the receiving chamber. By measuring the cumulative permeation of ferulic acid in the receiving chamber at different time points, the in vitro transdermal permeation enhancement behavior of each sample was analyzed.
[0071] Reagents: Micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell sap (prepared from Example 1), medical water-soluble azone (Zhengzhou Jinbei Chemical Co., Ltd., 20200306), Tween (Tianjin Fengchuan Chemical Reagent Technology Co., Ltd.), pH 7.4 PBS solution (Shandong Puhuifen Chemical Technology Co., Ltd., batch number 20250527), ferulic acid (Shanghai Titan Technology Co., Ltd., P3348261), Wahaha (Dali Wahaha Food Co., Ltd., batch number 20250423).
[0072] Instrument: YB-P6 intelligent transdermal assay apparatus (Tianjin Pharmacopoeia Standard Instrument Factory). The diffusion cells exhibit no mutual interference and no bubble formation. The receiving chamber has a volume of 7 mL, and the diffusion area is 2.33 cm². 2 The Franz cell diffusion cell consists of two cylindrical glass tubes joined together, with a patch sandwiched between them dividing the space into two chambers. The upper chamber is the diffusion chamber, and the lower chamber is the receiving chamber. A sampling tube is connected to the right side of the receiving chamber for sample injection, sampling, and air bubble removal.
[0073] The content of ferulic acid was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (Shimadzu, LC-2050). The chromatographic conditions were as follows: column: C18, 4.6×250 mm; flow rate: 1 mL / min; column temperature: 35℃; detection wavelength: 322 nm; injection volume: 10 μL; mobile phase: 16% acetonitrile-84% phosphate buffer (pH=2.8).
[0074] Test samples and grouping: Table 1. Study Test Grouping
[0075] Method and steps: (1) Fixation: Fix the pigskin between the diffusion chamber and the receiving chamber of the Franz cell diffusion cell, with the keratin layer of the pigskin facing the diffusion chamber and the dermis layer facing the receiving chamber. After fixing the pigskin, place the matching magnetic stir bar in the receiving chamber. Use a syringe (with a sampling needle attached to the syringe) to draw 7.0 mL of receiving solution (PBS solution, pH=7.4) and tilt it to inject it into the receiving chamber, ensuring that the dermis layer of the pigskin is in close contact with the receiving solution and that there are no air bubbles between them. Fix the Franz cell diffusion cell in the transdermal experimental apparatus, turn on the electromagnetic stirrer at a speed of 600 rpm, maintain a constant temperature water bath at (32±0.5 ℃), and ensure that there are no air bubbles in the water bath jacket.
[0076] (2) Sample loading: After the water bath temperature of the diffuser is constant, sample loading is performed. According to the grouping in Table 1, use a pipette to add 1 mL of sample to the diffusion chamber.
[0077] (3) Sampling: ① At 2h, 6h, 12h, and 24h, the receiving solution in the corresponding receiving cell was completely removed for testing, and 7.0mL of PBS receiving solution was added. ② After completing the 24h sampling, the pigskin was removed from the diffusion cell, the outer ring was cut off, and the effective contact area of transdermal absorption (2.33 cm²) was retained. 2 Rinse the surface with purified water 2-3 times, dry, cut into small pieces, add 5 mL of purified water, homogenize with a high-speed disperser, centrifuge at 6000 rpm for 15 min, and collect the supernatant for testing.
[0078] (4) Determination: Take 1 mL of the sample to be tested into a disposable syringe, filter it with a 0.22 μm filter head, and take the filtrate for content determination in high performance liquid chromatography.
[0079] (5) Cumulative infiltration (i=1···n-1); Where: Q: cumulative permeation volume; V: volume of receiving liquid in the receiving chamber, 7 mL; V0: volume of each sample taken, 7 mL; Ci: drug concentration in the receiving liquid from the first to the (n-1)th sampling point; Cn: sample concentration measured at the nth sampling point.

[0085] Conclusion: Under the conditions of this experiment, the micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell sap showed the best effect in promoting the transdermal permeation of ferulic acid. The transdermal permeation rates of different samples were ranked as follows: micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell sap > 3% water-soluble azone solution > 0.5% Tween solution.
[0086] Test Example 3 compared with Comparative Example 1: Transdermal penetration enhancement effect Objective: To conduct a Franz diffusion cell permeability experiment using ferulic acid as a model drug, and to compare the percutaneous permeation-promoting effects of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 on ferulic acid.

Conclusion: Under the conditions of this experiment, the micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell slurry prepared in Example 1 was more effective than the coffee pericarp extract prepared in Comparative Example 1 in promoting the transdermal penetration of ferulic acid.
[0096] Test Example 4: In vitro cytotoxicity evaluation of micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell sap Objective: To investigate the in vitro toxicity of micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell sap to HaCaT cells and HSF cells using CCK-8.
[0097] Principle: The skin irritation monolayer model is a cell model formed by culturing isolated skin cells in vitro. Keratinocytes and fibroblasts are the most studied skin cells. The stratum corneum, the outermost layer of the epidermis, is the first to come into contact with irritants and is the most important barrier against external irritants. It also produces a large amount of inflammatory mediators; therefore, keratinocytes can be used as a cell model for evaluating skin irritation in vitro. The HaCaT keratinocyte line has also been used to evaluate skin irritation. The HaCaT cell line is a spontaneously immortalized human keratinocyte that exhibits differentiation characteristics similar to normal human keratinocytes during immersion culture, and is very convenient to culture and passage. Fibroblasts are another important cell type in the skin besides keratinocytes, mainly found in the dermis. In skin irritation responses, fibroblasts can also secrete inflammatory mediators, affecting the inflammatory response. Due to morphological and physiological differences, there are relatively few studies on the use of fibroblasts alone in constructing in vitro models of skin irritation. Monolayer cultures of human skin keratinocytes and fibroblasts can be used to screen for skin irritants. Although there is limited research on monolayer cell models, they can still be used as a preliminary screening test for skin irritation.
[0098] The Cell Counting Kit-8 (CCK-8) is a rapid, highly sensitive assay kit based on WST-8 (water-soluble tetrazolium salt), widely used for detecting cell proliferation and cytotoxicity. WST-8 (chemical name: 2-(2-methoxy-4-nitrophenyl)-3-(4-nitrophenyl)-5-(2,4-disulfonic acid benzene)-2H-tetrazole monosodium salt) is reduced by dehydrogenases in cells to a highly water-soluble yellow formazan dye by the electron carrier 1-methoxy-5-methylphenazineonium sulfate (1-Methoxy PMS). The more and faster the cell proliferation, the darker the color; the greater the cytotoxicity, the lighter the color. For the same number of cells, the color intensity is linearly related to the cell number.
[0099] The optical density (OD value) of water-soluble formazan dye was measured at a wavelength of 450 nm, and the in vitro toxicity of the samples to HaCaT cells and HSF cells was evaluated.
[0100] Cells: HaCaT human immortalized epidermal cells, catalog number SCSP-5091, cell line sourced from Shanghai Cell Bank, Chinese Academy of Sciences; HSF human dermal fibroblasts, cell line sourced from Cybio (Shanghai) Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
[0101] Culture conditions: DMEM medium, fetal bovine serum, trypsin / EDTA solution (0.25% trypsin solution and 0.02 mol / L EDTA solution mixed 1:1), phosphate buffer (PBS), cell culture flasks.
[0102] Materials and instruments: 96-well plates; CCK-8 cytotoxicity assay kit (Beijing Polymer Biotechnology Co., Ltd. MF128-01); microplate reader; clean bench.
[0103] Test Groups: Table 7 Experimental Group Design
[0104] Method and steps: Before testing, the micro-molecule coffee pericarp cell sap was dissolved in primary water (sterile purified water) to a concentration of 10%, thoroughly mixed, filtered through a 0.22μm filter membrane for sterilization, and then diluted with culture medium to the test dose concentration.
[0105] The in vitro toxicity of the test samples to HaCaT cells and HSF cells was examined using CCK-8 assays. (2 × 10⁻⁶) 4 Cells were seeded at a density of 200 μL / mL into 96-well plates. After incubation for 24 h, the old culture medium was discarded. Different concentrations of the test substance diluted with culture medium were added to the 96-well plates, and incubated for 24 h. The supernatant was then discarded. A mixture of 100 μL culture medium and 10 μL CCK-8 solution was added to each well, and incubated for 2 h. The absorbance at 450 nm was measured using a microplate reader. Cell viability was calculated using a negative control as a baseline.
[0106] When cell viability is ≥80%, the test sample at this concentration can be considered to have no effect on cell proliferation, i.e., a safe concentration for cells. Each sample group was repeated 4 times.
[0107] Cell viability = ×100%; Results: The cell proliferation and cytotoxicity of different doses of the test sample (10% micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell sap) against HaCaT and HSF were tested using the CCK-8 kit, as shown in Table 8. Table 8. Comparison of the effects of different concentrations of test samples on the survival rate of HaCaT and HSF cells.
[0108] This invention used the CCK-8 assay to determine the effect of 10% micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell sap at four concentrations on the cell viability of HaCaT and HSF cells after 24 hours of treatment. The results are shown in Table 8. The purpose of this experiment was to screen the effects of cosmetic raw materials at four concentrations on the proliferation and cytotoxicity of epidermal and dermal cells. The drug concentration at which the relative cell viability was ≥80% was considered to have no effect on cell proliferation or to be non-toxic.
[0109] Conclusion: At the highest concentration of 10% micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell slurry (100 mg / mL), the survival rates of human immortalized epidermal cells (HaCaT) in the epidermis and human skin fibroblasts (HSF) in the dermis were both ≥80%. Therefore, the safe concentration range of 10% micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell slurry for HaCaT cells was determined to be 0–100 mg / mL; and the safe concentration range for HSF cells was also determined to be 0–100 mg / mL.
[0110] Test Example 5: Evaluation of the digestive and absorptive effects of micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell sap prepared in Example 1. Objective: To evaluate the digestive and absorptive effects of the test samples using zebrafish as a model organism.
[0111] Principle: Zebrafish serve as a model organism for digestion and absorption studies: The yolk syncytial layer (YSL) of zebrafish expresses triglyceride transfer protein (MTP) during early development. This protein is involved in lipoprotein assembly and lipid transport, and its function is highly conserved in mammals. Zebrafish also possess key digestion and absorption-related proteins homologous to mammals, such as apolipoprotein E (ApoE), phospholipase A2 (PLA2), and lipoprotein lipase (LPL).
[0112] Establishment of an exogenous food absorption model: Egg yolk powder (rich in protein, fat, and carbohydrates) was used as the exogenous food to simulate the digestive process. Oil Red O is a dye specifically for staining neutral lipids (such as triglycerides), turning orange-red after staining, which facilitates microscopic observation and quantitative analysis of the amount of fat absorbed in blood vessels. Furthermore, juvenile zebrafish are completely transparent, allowing for direct observation of lipid absorption in the viscera and blood vessels without the need for dissection.
[0113] Experimental Methods and Evaluation Indicators: Zebrafish were first fed egg yolk powder, then given the test sample (such as coffee fruit peel concentrate) or a positive control (Xinghao Meitong Compound Digestive Enzyme Capsules, hereinafter referred to as Compound Digestive Enzyme Capsules, batch number 086230304, Guangdong Dingxin Pharmaceutical Technology Co., Ltd.). After treatment, Oil Red O staining was performed, and the intensity of fat staining from the intestine to the tail vessels was quantified using image analysis software to reflect fat absorption efficiency. If the fat staining intensity of the sample group was significantly higher than that of the normal control group (…), the positive control was considered a positive control. p If the value is less than 0.05, the sample is considered to have the effect of promoting digestion and absorption.
[0114] This evaluation method is applicable to the detection of the digestive and absorptive effects of food, requiring the sample to be soluble in water or to be prepared into a suspension that is uniformly dispersed in water.
[0115] Zebrafish: Wild AB strain zebrafish, 5 days post-fertilization (5dpf), 30 fish per group, raised and bred according to the standard breeding methods of this laboratory.
[0116] Materials and instruments: (1) Reagents: Egg yolk powder; PBS phosphate buffer (pH=7.4); methylcellulose; water, deionized water or water of equivalent purity; Oil Red O; compound digestive enzyme capsules; 6-well microplate; ice, ice box, etc.
[0117] (2) Instruments: Stereo microscope; analytical balance; fluorescence stereo microscope; micro homogenizer; biochemical incubator; and other conventional laboratory instruments and equipment.
[0118] Test Groups: Table 9 Experimental Group Design
[0119] Method and steps: Wild-type AB zebrafish (5 dpf) were randomly selected and placed in beakers, with 30 zebrafish treated in each beaker (experimental group). All groups were first given egg yolk powder dissolved in water, washed off after 3 hours, and then the powder was dissolved in water again. The positive control group received compound digestive enzyme capsules at a concentration of 135 μg / mL (0.135 mg / mL). A blank control group (normally fed group, given only egg yolk powder, without any other samples) was also set up. Each beaker had a volume of 25 mL. After treatment at 28℃ for 16 hours, egg yolk powder was added again to all groups, and treatment continued at 28℃ for another 8 hours. Oil Red O was then used for whole-body fat staining. After staining, 10 zebrafish were randomly selected from each experimental group and photographed. Data was collected using image processing software, and the staining intensity of fat from the intestine to the tail vessels was analyzed. The statistical analysis results of this index were used to evaluate the digestive and absorptive effects of the samples. Statistical results are expressed as mean ± SD. Statistical analysis was performed, and P < 0.05 was considered statistically significant between groups.
[0120] Judgment criteria: The MTC of the sample compared with that of normal zebrafish was measured, and the intensity of fat staining in the blood vessels from the zebrafish intestine to the tail was used as an indicator to evaluate the sample's effect on promoting digestion and absorption.
[0121] result: 1. Maximum Tolerable Concentration (MTC) Under the conditions of this experiment, the MTC of the effect of micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell sap in promoting digestion and absorption was 1.25 mg / mL.

[0124] Table 11. Evaluation results of the efficacy of each group in promoting digestion and absorption (n = 10)
[0125] Note: Compared with the normal control group, p<0.05 p<0.01 p<0.001 The staining intensity of blood vessel fat in the intestines to tail of zebrafish treated with the positive control group compound digestive enzyme capsules was significantly higher than that in the normal control group (P<0.05). The staining intensity of blood vessel fat in the intestines to tail of zebrafish treated with micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell sap was also significantly higher than that in the normal control group (P<0.05), indicating that micro-molecular coffee pericarp cell sap promotes digestion and absorption in zebrafish under the experimental conditions.
[0126] Conclusion: Under the experimental conditions, the coffee pericarp concentrate sample has the effect of promoting digestion and absorption.
