Food additives

Prunin
Catalog No: CFN98878

Prunin possesses anti-diabetic, and anti-abacterial properties, it can inhibit protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) and stimulate glucose uptake in insulin-resistant HepG2 cells; it also can stimulate growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa and different Bacilllus sp. Prunin exhibits a markedly enhanced solubility compared to naringenin and naringin while maintaining the in vitro inhibition of HMG-CoA reductase.

Xanthohumol
Catalog No: CFN98958

Xanthohumol has anti-hepatitis C virus, anti-carcinogenic, free radical-scavenging, and anti-inflammatory activities, it can inhibit HIV-1 induced cytopathic effects, the production of viral p24 antigen and reverse transcriptase in C8166 lymphocytes at non-cytotoxic concentration. Xanthohumol may play a role in improving cognitive flexability in young animals. Xanthohumol has beneficial effects on markers of metabolic syndrome, it lowers body weight and fasting plasma glucose in obese male Zucker fa/fa rats.

alpha-Tocopherol acetate
Catalog No: CFN98999

The alpha-Tocopherol acetate form is often used in foods and other products due to its high biological activity and chemical stability.Alpha-Tocopherol acetate reduces substantially lipid peroxidation, especially at lower level (200 mg kg(-1) flesh).Alpha-Tocopherol acetate during treatment and dry period resulted in reduced oxidative stress, heat shock protein Hsp70 levels, improved antioxidant, and improved immunity status.

Ethyl caffeate
Catalog No: CFN97136

Ethyl caffeate is a potent chemopreventive compound against skin carcinogenesis caused by solar UV exposure, it strongly inhibits neoplastic transformation of JB6 Cl41 cells without toxicity. PI3K, ERK1/2, and p38 kinase activities were suppressed by direct binding with HOEC in vitro. Ethyl caffeate also has anti-inflammatory, hepatprotective activities.

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural
Catalog No: CFN97149

5-Hydroxymethylfurfural is one component of food, has antioxidative properties and is therefore used as an acting agent in a novel anticancer infusion solution, named Karal®, and an oral supplementation. 5-Hydroxymethylfurfural could be formed in soft beverages of rich sugar during process, and often used as an index of heat treatment, it is also considered as potentially carcinogenic to humans.
