Rose (Rose), ginseng (ginseng), grape seed (Grapestone), aloe (Aloe) and rosemary (Rosemary) are several common natural green plants, they contain a lot of bioactive components, such as flavonoids, plant Polysaccharides, proanthocyanidins, hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, tannic acid, etc. These ingredients have anti-aging, moisturizing, whitening and other effects, among which delaying skin aging is an important function, which has been widely used in various anti-aging cosmetics.

1.Rose Extract

Rose is a common Rosaceae plant, which is loved by people because of its gorgeous appearance and fragrance. It not only has high ornamental value, but also has important application value in the field of daily chemicals. The increase in the number of free radicals in the human body is one of the causes of human aging. If too many free radicals cannot be removed in time, it will cause cell damage, tissue and organ disorders, and then cause human aging. Studies have found that roses contain a lot of phenolic, flavonoid and polysaccharide compounds, which have good free radical scavenging and anti-aging effects. In addition, the large amount of vitamin C contained in roses also has strong antioxidant properties.

Rose extract is so nutritious that it can be applied to face creams to delay aging while locking in the skin's original moisture and nutrients. In addition, rose can be used to extract essential oils, which is known as "liquid gold" because of its extremely low yield and extremely high efficacy. While extracting rose essential oil, a large amount of rose hydrosol can be obtained. Hydrosol is a by-product of essential oils containing nutrients and active substances obtained during the distillation and extraction process. It is a 100% saturated distilled stock solution. There are anti-aging rose products on the market, such as Afu Damascus rose essential oil, the source of the source of rose water, and Lancome pure face cream. Facts have proved that these products have obvious effects in delaying the aging of human skin.

Rose extract has good economic and safety benefits, so there are many researches on the application of rose extract to anti-aging products. At present, many international beauty brands have products with rose extract added in the market, because of its effect on the skin. Gentle and anti-aging effect is considerable, well received by consumers. The components of rose extract can not only be used in the field of anti-aging, but also widely used in other aspects such as moisturizing and antibacterial.

2. Ginseng Extract

Ginseng is a perennial herb belonging to the genus Ginseng of the Araliaceae family. As early as many years ago, ginseng appeared in various books. "Shen Nong Baicao Jing" and "Compendium of Materia Medica" all have clear records of ginseng. The active substances contained in ginseng are mainly saponins and ginseng polysaccharides. There are many types of ginsenosides, and the types and numbers of saponins contained in different varieties of ginseng or different parts of ginseng are also different. Ginsenosides can not only increase the activity of enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase that can scavenge free radicals in the body and reduce the production of peroxides in the body, but also affect the regulatory factors of the cell cycle, aging gene expression, etc., so it can achieve the purpose of delaying aging. There are also many types of ginseng polysaccharides. Ginseng polysaccharides are composed of ginseng starch and ginseng pectin. The main pharmacological effect is ginseng pectin [7], which also plays an important role in delaying human aging.

What are the applications of supercritical CO2 extraction technology in plant extraction?

  Supercritical CO2 extraction technology has the advantages of energy saving, purity, rapidity, high efficiency, and simple operation because it combines rectification and liquid-liquid extraction, and plays an important role in the extraction and separation of effective components of traditional Chinese medicine. 1. Extraction of volatile oil The volatile oil is sensitive to high heat, acid, and alkali, and is easily destroyed when extracted by traditional steam distillation, with low efficiency. At present, there is much research literature on the application of supercritical carbon dioxide to extract volatile oil, and the yield of the obtained product is high and the integrity of the components can be maintained. The researchers used organic solvent extraction (SE), steam distillation extraction (SDE), and supercritical carbon dioxide extraction (SFE-CO2) to extract celery seed oil. The results showed that the celery seed oil obtained by supercritical carbon dioxide extraction...
