How Does Black Currant Fruit Powder Help Improve Vision?

Black Currant Fruit Powder may help improve vision due to its rich antioxidant and anthocyanin content.

Antioxidant: When the human eyeball is exposed to strong light stimulation, a large number of free radicals will be produced in the retina, forming lipid peroxidation and reactive oxygen species, leading to dysfunction of retinal photoreceptor cells and damaging vision. Black currant powder is rich in antioxidant substances such as anthocyanins, vitamin C, flavonoids and phenolic acids, which can effectively remove these free radicals, reduce oxidative damage and protect retinal cells.

Protect the retina: Anthocyanins are the key antioxidant ingredients in black currant powder, and their antioxidant capacity is 50 times that of vitamin E. It can penetrate deep into the retinal tissue, neutralize free radicals, prevent retinal cells from being damaged by oxidation, maintain the normal structure and function of the retina, and prevent eye diseases such as macular degeneration.

Promote rhodopsin regeneration: Ingredients such as cyanidin rutin (C3R) and cyanidin glucoside (C3G) in black currant powder can significantly accelerate the regeneration of rhodopsin. Rhodopsin is a key substance in the photoreceptor cells in the retina, and its regeneration rate directly affects the recovery of vision and visual quality. Black currant powder can promote the combination of opsin and vitamin A, accelerate rhodopsin regeneration, enhance the conversion of photoelectric signals, and improve naked eye vision.

Relieve ciliary muscle tension: Ingredients such as delphinidin rutin (D3R) and cyanidin rutin (C3R) in black currant powder can significantly promote the relaxation of ciliary muscles. Ciliary muscle tension is an important cause of eye fatigue and pseudomyopia. Black currant powder can relieve ciliary muscle tension, reduce eye fatigue, and prevent the occurrence and development of pseudomyopia.

Reduce intraocular pressure: For people with high intraocular pressure, the active ingredients in black currant powder help reduce intraocular pressure, reduce damage to the optic nerve caused by excessive intraocular pressure, prevent eye diseases such as glaucoma, and thus protect vision.

Promote blood circulation: The nutrients in black currant powder can promote blood circulation in the eyes, so that blood can be transported to the eye tissue more smoothly, provide sufficient oxygen and nutrients for the retina, optic nerve and other eye structures, and maintain their normal metabolism and function.

Supplement nutrients: Black currant powder contains a variety of nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and amino acids, such as vitamin C, vitamin A, zinc, etc. These nutrients are necessary to maintain the normal physiological function of the eyes, and can provide comprehensive nutritional support for the eyes and help improve vision.

Although black currant powder may be beneficial for improving vision, it should be taken as part of an overall healthy diet rather than a single vision improvement plan.

Can Blackcurrant Fruit Powder Enhance Immunity?

Black Currant Fruit Powder does help enhance immunity, mainly due to its rich nutrients and antioxidant content.

Rich in vitamin C: Rich in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that is essential for the immune system. It helps stimulate the activity of immune cells and enhances the body's resistance to viral and bacterial invasion. Vitamin C also promotes the health of the skin and mucous membranes, thus forming the body's first line of immune defense.

Contains antioxidants: Contains a large amount of antioxidants such as anthocyanins and flavonoids. These ingredients can remove free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative stress, and protect cells from free radical damage, thereby maintaining the normal function of the immune system and enhancing the body's resistance to pathogens.

Trace element support: Contains trace elements such as iron and zinc, which are also essential for the normal functioning of the immune system. For example, iron is involved in the synthesis of hemoglobin, helps oxygen transport, and provides energy for immune cells; zinc is directly involved in a variety of immune responses, including the function of white blood cells and the production of antibodies.

Black currant powder helps enhance the body's immunity by providing a variety of vitamins, antioxidants and trace elements.

How To Prepare Black Currant Fruit Powder?

Taking blackcurrant as raw material, after picking, it is cleaned with ozone water, precooled, crushed, sublimated, and placed in a vacuum freeze-drying device; the temperature control during the heating process is: the temperature of the heating plate is controlled at room temperature ~ 55 ~ 60℃ for 17min ~ 20min at the beginning, and kept warm for 50 ~ 60min; then cooled to 50℃ ~ 52℃, kept warm for 200min ~ 280min; then heated to 55℃ ~ 57℃, kept warm for 120min ~ 210min; heated to 60℃ ~ 62℃, kept warm for 60min ~ 80min; left for 3h ~ 4h, vacuum freeze-dried until the moisture content is less than 7.0%, and crushed into blackcurrant fruit powder. The water activity of the obtained fruit powder is less than 0.34, and it is packaged in tin foil bags. The shelf life at room temperature can reach more than 1 year, retaining the nutritional components and taste of fresh blackcurrant fruit, suitable for industrial production.
