Ligustrum Lucidum Fruit Extract

The Ligustrum Lucidum Fruit Extract is obtained from the dried and mature fruits of the Ligustrum lucidum plant. After the fruits are harvested, they are washed, air-dried, extracted, concentrated and refined through modern processing techniques. Its core active components are oleanolic acid and betulinic acid, two types of triterpenoid active substances. It also contains Ligustrum lucidum polysaccharides, Ligustrum lucidum glycosides, bitter glycosides of olive, mannitol, β-sitosterol and various unsaturated fatty acids. Among them, oleanolic acid, as the core characteristic component, has a stable and controllable content, which is the key support for the core efficacy of the product. The synergistic effect of various active components fully retains the application value of natural Ligustrum lucidum, differentiating it from single-component purification products. It is suitable for diversified formula development needs. The finished Ligustrum lucidum extract is a brown, fine and uniform powder. The powder is fine and has no lumps, with the natural, faint herbal fragrance of Ligustrum lucidum. The smell is light and pure. It has a slightly sweet taste when swallowed, which conforms to the odor standard of natural plant extracts. Ligustrum lucidum has excellent water solubility and alcohol-soluble dual solubility, and is compatible with common solvent systems such as pure water and ethanol. It can be quickly dissolved under normal temperature stirring, and the solution is clear and transparent after dissolution.
