White tasteless, odorless crystals. Stable to heat, melting point 83. 2~83.4 ℃. Soluble in acetone, butanol and other weak polar organic solvents, insoluble in water, slightly soluble in hot ethanol. Has the following physiological functions: enhance human endurance, energy and physical strength; Improve energy metabolism rate, reduce muscle spasm; Improve human reaction sensitivity, Shorten reaction time; Improve muscle function including myocardium; improve muscle endurance; Increase basal metabolic rate; Promote fat metabolism; Stimulate sex hormones.
The presence of dioctaol in wheat germ, sugar cane, apple, grape Peel, mainly in the form of fatty acid esters. But in sugarcane, there are more free form of the eight alcohol. From the above-mentioned raw materials, the oil is obtained by a winterization method, a solvent extraction method, a distillation method, a supercritical extraction method, and the like. The content of the crude product is not more than 50%, and the high purity product can be obtained by recrystallization of the crude product for many times.
can be used for the manufacture of health foods, such as sports drinks.

Overview | octacosanol is the main component of Docosanol, which is derived from Cuba's national treasure, also known as "Gugan gold", the transliterated name "Yibai hei", also known as Chinese, is a naturally occurring higher fatty alcohol. In recent years, it has been recognized as a functional substance with health care function in the world. As a safe and efficient nutritional supplement, it has many biological functions and clinical application value. High security, mainly in the plant peel or fruit surface secretion of wax, such as sugar cane wax, rice bran wax, not only for people to provide a variety of medicine, health care, cosmetics and other aspects of the product, has now been gradually applied to the sports world, not only can enhance the body's energy, endurance, but also conducive to weight loss, supplement the energy consumption of athletes, increase competition opportunities. After administration, the weight of thymus increased significantly, and the fluidity of erythrocyte membrane showed an improvement trend. in 1937, it was found to have a therapeutic effect on reproductive disorders. Later, researchers such as Dr. Cureton of the University of Illinois in the United States proved that it has a series of unique physiological functions. 1. Lower blood lipids and cholesterol, lower blood sugar; 2. Anti-body atherosclerosis, regulating blood pressure; 3. Improve the endurance of the body, increase the endurance of athletes, strengthen the heart function; 4. Reduce the body's stress response, improve sexual function; 5. Inhibit gastric ulcer, duodenal ulcer; 6. Anti-platelet aggregation, prevention of thrombosis; 7. Protect the liver, enhance the detoxification ability of the liver, regulate renal failure. |
safety | The LD50 value of octanol can reach 18000mg/kg The LD50 value is a common indicator of the toxicity of a substance. The higher the value, the greater the safety. What is the LD50 value of the common drugs and foods in our daily life? table salt, only 3000mg/kg (the safety of octanol is 6 times that of table salt) Aspirin, only 200mg/kg (the safety of octanol is 90 times that of aspirin) |
Use | as a health food, octanol mainly enhances physical strength and endurance, lowers cholesterol, and inhibits lipid peroxidation; anti thrombosis and anti ischemia, improve myocardial function; Enhance the sexual function of male animals and elderly men and have adjuvant therapeutic effect on degenerative neuronal diseases. It has the effects of anti-fatigue, reducing blood lipid and enhancing sexual function, and can be used for the treatment of Parkinson's disease in the early stage of old age |
production method | dioctaol is present in the skin of wheat germ, sugarcane, apple, grape, etc, mainly in the form of fatty acid esters. But in sugarcane, there are more free form of the eight alcohol. From the above-mentioned raw materials, the oil is obtained by a winterization method, a solvent extraction method, a distillation method, a supercritical extraction method, and the like. The content of the crude product is not more than 50%, and the high purity product can be obtained by recrystallization of the crude product for many times. |
