Triterpenoids

  1. Product Overview
    English Name: Triterpenoids
    Source: Triterpenoids are a large class of natural compounds found in various plants, fungi, and some animals. They are synthesized through the mevalonate pathway in living organisms. Common sources include plants like ginseng, licorice, and fungi such as Poria cocos.
  2. Specification:Purity: Total Triterpenoids ≥ 95% (HPLC – tested). The extraction process depends on the source material. For plant – derived triterpenoids, methods like solvent extraction (using ethanol, methanol, etc.) are often employed, followed by purification through chromatography techniques (e.g., silica gel column chromatography, high – performance liquid chromatography). Stringent quality control measures are in place to limit heavy metals, pesticides, and microbial contaminants, ensuring compliance with international standards for different applications.
  3. Appearance:Triterpenoids typically appear as white to off – white powders or colorless to pale – yellow crystals. They may have a faint, characteristic odor depending on the source. The powder or crystals are free – flowing, making them suitable for incorporation into different products.
  4. CAS Number:Since triterpenoids are a class of compounds, there is no single CAS number. Each individual triterpenoid, such as betulinic acid (CAS NO.: 472 – 15 – 1) or oleanolic acid (CAS NO.: 508 – 02 – 1), has its own unique CAS number for chemical identification, research, and regulatory compliance.
  5. Lead Time:Lead time: 3 – 7 Working Days. Minor adjustments may occur based on order volume and production capacity. Our efficient production and logistics systems are designed to ensure timely delivery. However, factors such as the availability of raw materials (seasonal for some plants) or any production – related issues may slightly impact the lead time.
  6. Package: Usually packaged in 25kg food – grade drums, with 27 drums per tray for convenient transportation. The drums are made of materials that protect the product from moisture, light, and physical damage during storage and transportation. Custom packaging options, such as smaller containers for laboratory use or larger bulk containers for industrial applications, are available upon request.
  7. Main Market: European, North America, Asia etc. In Asia, especially in countries with a strong traditional medicine background, triterpenoids from plants like ginseng have been used for centuries. In Europe and North America, with the growing interest in natural health products, triterpenoids are gaining popularity.
  8. Applications
    • Health Supplements:
      • Anti – inflammatory: Many triterpenoids exhibit anti – inflammatory properties. They can inhibit the production of inflammatory mediators like cytokines and prostaglandins in the body. This is beneficial for conditions such as arthritis, where they can reduce joint inflammation and pain, and inflammatory bowel disease, by soothing the inflamed intestinal lining.
      • Antioxidant: Acting as antioxidants, triterpenoids can scavenge free radicals, protecting cells from oxidative damage. This can contribute to overall health and potentially reduce the risk of chronic diseases like heart disease, cancer, and neurodegenerative disorders.
      • Immune System Modulation: Some triterpenoids can modulate the immune system. They may enhance the activity of immune cells such as macrophages, T – lymphocytes, and B – lymphocytes, strengthening the body\’s defense against infections and diseases.
    • Cosmetics:
      • Skin Soothing: Their anti – inflammatory nature makes them effective in calming irritated skin. They can reduce redness, itching, and inflammation associated with skin conditions like acne, eczema, and psoriasis.
      • Anti – aging: By protecting skin cells from oxidative stress, triterpenoids help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots. They may also enhance skin elasticity.
    • Food Industry:
      • Functional Foods: Triterpenoids can be added to functional foods such as health drinks, energy bars, and fortified snacks. These products can provide consumers with the added health benefits of triterpenoids. However, their use in the food industry is subject to strict regulatory approvals to ensure safety and proper dosage.
      • Natural Preservative: Some triterpenoids may have antibacterial and antifungal properties, which could potentially be used to extend the shelf – life of certain food products. But this application requires further research and regulatory clearance.
