Okra Extract Powder

The raw material of the okra extract powder is selected from mature yellow okra of the mature plants of the okra species in the Solanaceae family. The origin of okra is in the Shandong and Henan regions of China, where there is sufficient sunlight, moderate precipitation, and the okra fruits grown there have plump flesh and high content of active ingredients. The okra extract is produced through an integrated production mode of low-temperature water extraction, membrane separation purification, and spray drying. During this process, impurities that are not beneficial are removed, while the active ingredients such as polysaccharides, flavonoids, dietary fibers, and trace nutrients of okra are locked in as much as possible. The appearance of the finished okra extract powder is a uniform brown-yellow powder, with the distinctive fresh fruit-like delicate herbal aroma of okra, and the smell is pure and mild. After dissolution, the herbal aroma is released more significantly, without masking the flavor of the base material of the formula. It has good water solubility, and can be quickly dissolved in cold water or warm water. After dissolution, the solution is in a slightly yellow and transparent state.

The extract of okra can reduce the damage caused by external irritants to the intestinal mucosa, and can also effectively nourish the beneficial bacteria in the intestines, accelerate intestinal metabolic peristalsis, and improve problems such as indigestion and insufficient intestinal motility.

The extract of okra has excellent antioxidant properties. It can help the human body eliminate excess free radicals in the body and slow down the aging process of cells; it can also resist oxidative damage caused by the external environment. Whether taken internally or applied externally, it can exert stable anti-aging and repair effects.

Okra polysaccharides can help slow down the body's absorption of sugar and lipids, preventing sharp fluctuations in blood sugar and blood lipid levels within a short period of time.

Okra polysaccharides have the properties of retaining moisture and providing hydration, as well as anti-inflammatory and soothing effects. They can not only absorb moisture from the air and replenish it to the skin, but also alleviate symptoms such as redness, dryness, and sensitivity on the skin, and strengthen the skin's surface barrier.

The dietary supplement industry is the most important application field for okra extract. It can be combined with white kidney beans, bitter gourd extract, dietary fiber, probiotics and other plant raw materials to produce products such as capsules, tablet candies, meal replacement powders and solid beverages.

In the functional beverage industry, it can be directly incorporated into various water-based substrates such as pure water, fruit and vegetable juices, and plant extracts, and be used in products like oral liquids, portable bagged beverages, sugar-free functional drinks, and health tea beverages.

In the field of beauty and skincare products, it is mainly used in moisturizing skincare product lines. It is commonly added to toners, serums, masks, body lotions, and repair creams, among other products.
