7-Dehydroavenasterol - Introduction
Delta 7-avenasterol (Δ7-Brassinol) is a plant sterol compound with the following properties:
1. Appearance: White crystalline solid.
2. Solubility: soluble in organic solvents, such as ethanol, acetone and dichloromethane, insoluble in water.
3. It is a highly stable compound and is not easily affected by light, heat and oxygen.
Delta 7-avenasterol has the following main uses in practical applications:
1. Food industry: As a kind of plant sterol, Delta 7-avenasterol can be used to reduce the absorption of cholesterol in the human body, thereby helping to reduce the level of cholesterol in the blood, and has a certain effect on the prevention of cardiovascular disease. Therefore, it is often added to some low-cholesterol functional foods, such as biscuits, dairy products, grains, etc.
2. Cosmetic industry: Delta 7-avenasterol can be used as antioxidants, anti-aging agents and moisturizers, and is widely used in various skin care products, shampoos and other cosmetic products.
The preparation method of Delta 7-avenasterol is generally extracted and purified from natural vegetable oils (such as olive oil). The specific steps include dewaxing, solvent extraction and crystallization of vegetable oil, drying and other processes to obtain a higher purity Delta 7-avenasterol.
Regarding safety information, Delta 7-avenasterol is considered relatively safe under general conditions of use, but the following matters still need to be noted:
1. Excessive intake may cause mild gastrointestinal discomfort in some people.
2. For individuals with cholesterol metabolism problems, plant sterol sensitivity or liver function problems, excessive intake should be avoided.
3. For pregnant women, lactating women and children, its safety has not been fully determined, so it should be avoided or used under the guidance of a doctor.
Before using Delta 7-avenasterol related products, it is recommended to consult the advice of a doctor or professional, and follow the instructions for use of the product and the relevant local regulations.
