Magnolia Bark Extract Magnolol And Honokiol Powder
Magnolia Bark Extract is derived from the bark of the Magnolia officinalis tree, a plant native to China. The active ingredients in the extract are honokiol and magnolol, which possess anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-anxiety properties. The extraction process involves grinding the bark into a fine powder and then using a solvent to isolate the active compounds. Magnolia bark extract is commonly used in traditional Chinese medicine to alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression. It is also utilized in modern herbal medicine and skincare products for its calming and anti-aging effects. Additionally, it has potential applications in the treating neurodegenerative diseases and cancer, for more information contact grace@biowaycn.com.
Items | Plant Extraction Natural Source | Chemical Synthesis |
History | In the 1930s, Japanese scholar Yoshio Sugii first isolated magnolol from magnolia bark. | Initially synthesized by Swedish scientists H. Erdtman and J. Runebeng from allylphenol through coupling reactions. |
Advantages | Sourced from plants, high purity. | Simple and efficient reaction process, low cost, protects magnolia resources. |
Disadvantages | Severe damage to natural resources, labor-intensive. | Excessive residual organic solvents, chemical waste discharge, serious chemical pollution. |
Improvement | Magnolia leaves also contain magnolol and honokiol, albeit in lower quantities. As the leaves are abundant, extracting magnolol from them protects magnolia resources and is cost-effective. | Production of magnolol through fermentation by endophytic fungi, suitable for large-scale production in fermenters. |
