The invention relates to the technical field of health care product preparation, in particular to an anti-oxidation and anti-aging composition containing
dendrobium officinale
polysaccharide and application of the anti-oxidation and anti-aging composition in beauty and health care products. Comprising the following steps: mixing
dendrobium officinale with water, extracting, filtering to obtain a filtrate, concentrating to obtain a concentrated solution, and carrying out
alcohol precipitation to obtain a precipitate; extracting the precipitate with an extracting agent, concentrating under reduced pressure, and freeze-
drying to obtain crude
polysaccharide; and dissolving the crude
polysaccharide with water, and sequentially loading on an
ion exchange column and a gel column for purification to obtain the
dendrobium officinale polysaccharide. According to the anti-oxidation and anti-aging composition containing the
dendrobium officinale polysaccharide, provided by the invention, an efficient comprehensive anti-aging function is realized through a multi-target and multi-channel synergistic effect. The composition not only can strongly remove various free radicals such as
DPPH free radicals, hydroxyl free radicals and
superoxide anions and relieve
oxidative stress injury, but also can effectively inhibit generation of
melanin, has definite whitening and spot-
fading effects, and is wide in application prospect.
