Raspberry Ketone Powder

What are raspberry ketones?

Raspberry ketone powder exists in natural raspberry juice, with a content of approximately (0.1~0.2)×10-6. It is an important aroma component of raspberry essential oil and is a spice with an elegant and fruity aroma widely used at home and abroad. The chemical name is 4-p-hydroxyphenyl-2-butanone. It is glossy particles or needle-like white crystals with a melting point of 83°C and a boiling point of 161°C (0.67kPa). It is soluble in alcohols and oils and almost insoluble in water. Raspberry ketone has great economic value and has received widespread attention in recent years, with demand increasing year by year.

Raspberry ketone (P-Hydroxyphenyl butanone) is an organic compound with a molecular formula of C10H12O2 and a molecular weight of 164.22. It is a white needle-like crystal or granular solid with raspberry aroma and fruity sweetness. Insoluble in water and petroleum ether, soluble in ethanol, ether and volatile oils. Natural products are found in raspberries (raspberries), etc. It is used to prepare food spices and has the effect of flavoring and sweetening. It can also be used in cosmetics and soap essences.

Pure Raspberry Ketone is a safe flavoring approved by the Flavor Manufacturers Association of America (FEMA) and the Council of Europe (COE). Its FEMA number is 2588. GB 2760-1996 stipulates that the dosage of raspberry ketone as edible spice is 40~320 mg/kg, which can be used in raspberry, grape, pineapple, peach, plum, strawberry, cranberry, jasmine, gardenia, tuberose and other fragrances. The preparation of type-type flavors can also be used as a modifier or fixative in daily spices, food flavors, daily chemical flavors and tobacco flavors. It has become a spice with extremely high economic value after vanillin.

At the same time, it is also an important fine chemical intermediate. In the cosmetics industry, raspberry ketone can be added to whitening cosmetics because of its whitening effect. And because raspberry ketone is a natural fragrance, it can also play a role in fixing fragrance. In agriculture, raspberry ketones and their acetyl compounds are sexual attractants for fruit flies, also known as sex pheromones. As synthetic pesticides, their demand is increasing, far exceeding the amount used in food and cosmetics by several to dozens of times. . In the pharmaceutical industry, raspberry ketone can be added to medicines because of its anti-inflammatory effect; its combination with epicatechin gallate can be used to prevent and treat obesity or non-insulin-dependent diabetes and syndrome. syndrome and other obesity-related symptoms; Schiff base generated from raspberry ketones and primary amines is an intermediate of the β-adrenoceptor agonist dobutamine used to treat weak myocardial contractility. Other uses: Raspberry ketones are also used to make fishing lures.

What are its effects?

Weight loss effect

Raspberry Ketone powder induces adipocyte decomposition by increasing norepinephrine, prevents high-fat diet-induced increases in body weight and visceral weight in mice, and reduces liver triglyceride content; it mediates glucose and lipid metabolism disorders and improves leptin resistance and insulin resistance. and other comprehensive effects to reduce the body weight of obese rats. Japanese scholars also conducted human trials and found that the effect of raspberry ketone on reducing visceral fat is more obvious than its effect on reducing subcutaneous fat.

It shows that Bulk Raspberry Ketone can improve leptin resistance and insulin resistance in obese rats induced by high-fat diet, which is of great significance in preventing and treating obesity.

Whitening mechanism

In vitro whitening activity studies using raspberry ketone, including in vitro cultured mouse B16 melanoma cells and zebrafish models, showed that raspberry ketone inhibited melanogenesis in a dose-dependent manner, and no cytotoxic effects were found; raspberry ketone It also decreased tyrosinase activity in zebrafish in a dose-dependent manner, indicating that raspberry ketone reduces melanogenesis in zebrafish by inhibiting cellular tyrosinase activity.

May reduce liver inflammation

A 2012 study published in the Journal of Food in Medicine found that raspberry ketone treatment protected rats from nonalcoholic steatohepatitis, which is caused by the accumulation of fat in the liver after a high-fat diet Liver inflammation. Researchers reported that raspberry ketones had dual effects on liver protection and fat reduction in the rats tested.

May improve cholesterol levels and insulin resistance

A 2018 study found that raspberry ketones may have therapeutic benefits in controlling hyperlipidemia and insulin resistance in obese rats.

However, this study does show that raspberry ketones help upregulate AQP7 expression, a protein that plays a role in metabolic function. Like most potential raspberry ketone benefits, more research is needed to show whether the ketones are effective in normalizing cholesterol levels and insulin resistance in humans.

Increase hair growth

Researchers in Japan noted that raspberry ketones have a similar structure to capsaicin, a molecular compound found in chili peppers. Like capsaicin, raspberry ketones are believed to activate sensory neurons, thereby promoting hair growth by increasing dermal insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) expression.

Improve skin elasticity

The same researchers in Japan reported on the efficacy of raspberry ketones on hair growth, evaluating its ability to improve skin elasticity in humans. They found that when 0.01% raspberry ketone was applied topically to facial skin, it increased the elasticity of cheek skin two weeks after application. This was only tested on five women, but it provides some promising evidence for raspberry ketones when it comes to humans.

Raspberries are nutritionally impressive, boasting powerful antioxidants and nutrients like vitamin C, manganese, vitamin K, and magnesium. Eating raspberries is known to help reduce inflammation, promote heart health, relieve arthritis pain, and fight aging.
