pumpkin seed extract

 Lycopene of long-chain polyunsaturated olefin molecule structure, make its have strong ability to eliminate free radicals and antioxidant capacity. Current research mainly focused on the role of biological oxidation, reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease and reduce genetic damage and inhibiting tumor development, etc.
Caused oxidative damage is considered to be one of the leading causes pumpkin seed extract of cancer and heart cerebrovascular disease. Lycopene in vitro antioxidant capacity has been confirmed by many experiments, lycopene quenching singlet oxygen ability is the current commonly used antioxidant beta-carotene, more than 2 times, 100 times that of vitamin E.
Lycopene can deeply remove blood vessel garbage, adjust the plasma cholesterol concentration, protect the low density lipoprotein (LDL) from oxidation, still can repair perfect oxidized cells, promote cell, colloid formation, enhance the flexibility of blood vessels. According to a survey study, serum concentration of lycopene and negatively correlated with the onset of cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage risk. Lycopene anti rabbit atherosclerosis research shows that lycopene can effectively reduce the rabbit serum total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL - C) level, the effect with sodium fluoride cut statin.
And another study showed that lycopene has ghana seed extract protective effect to the local cerebral ischemia, mainly through its antioxidant, scavenging free radicals are activated to restrain activity of glial cells, shrink the area of the injury of cerebral perfusion.
Lycopene and reduce radiation or skin by ultraviolet (UV) damage, and other functions. When the UV light skin, the skin of lycopene combined with UV produce free radicals, protect skin from damage, and irradiation compared to UV skin, lycopene decreased by 31% ~ 46%, other component content is almost the same. Research has shown that through regular intake of foods rich in lycopene can against UV, avoid the UV irradiation have lupus. Lycopene can also quenching free radicals of skin cells, has obvious fading effect to senile plaques.
Lycopene can activate the immune cells that protect the phagocytes from oxidative damage, promote T, B lymphocyte proliferation, the function of T cells, stimulating effect on promoting and inhibiting inflammation turmeric extract powder medium to generate some interleukin. The study found that moderate doses of lycopene capsules, can improve human immunity, reduce damage of acute exercise on immunity.
Meat during processing and storage by oxidation would change in color, texture and flavor. At the same time, with the increase of storage time, microbial breeding, especially the botox will cause the rotten meat, so often in chemical preservatives nitrite to inhibit the growth of microorganisms, prevent deterioration and improve meat flavor and color. But the study found that nitrite under certain conditions will be combined with protein decomposition product form carcinogens nitrosamines, thus adding nitrite in meat has long been controversial.
Lycopene is a major component of tomato fruits such as red pigment, its antioxidant ability is extremely strong, have good physiological functions, can be used as preservatives, colorants for meat products. In addition, rich in jujube seed powder lycopene in tomato products acid can reduce meat pH value, can inhibit the growth of microorganisms in the certain degree, therefore, can be used as anti-corrosion meat food antistaling agent, have the effect of partly replace nitrite.
