Senna Leaf Extract Powder for Health Care Products
Senna Leaf Extract is a botanical extract derived from the leaves of the Cassia angustifolia plant, also known as senna. It contains active compounds such as sennosides A and B, which are responsible for its cathartic effect, making it a potent laxative. Additionally, the extract has been found to possess antibacterial properties, inhibiting the growth of various bacteria, and it has been used for its hemostatic properties, aiding in blood clotting and stopping bleeding. Furthermore, senna leaf extract has been associated with muscle relaxation due to its ability to block acetylcholine at motor nerve terminals and skeletal joints.
From a chemical perspective, senna leaf extract contains anthraquinones, including dianthrone glycosides, sennosides A and B, sennosides C and D, as well as minor sennosides, all of which contribute to its laxative effect. The extract also contains free anthraquinones such as rhein, aloe-emodin, and chrysophanol, along with their glycosides. These components collectively contribute to the medicinal properties of senna leaf extract.
In terms of applications, senna leaf extract is utilized in various fields. It is added to food and beverages as a functional food additive, incorporated into health products to prevent chronic diseases and alleviate symptoms of climacteric syndrome, and used in cosmetics for its anti-aging and skin-smoothing properties. Additionally, it has been noted for its estrogenic effects and its ability to temporarily prevent fluid absorption from the large intestine, contributing to softer stools.
