Description

Diosmin is a naturally occurring flavonoid glycoside that can be isolated from various plant sources or derived from the flavonoid hesperidin. Diosmin was first isolated in 1925 from Scrophularia nodosa, and first introduced as a therapeutic agent in 1969. Diosmin is a biogenic amine derived by extracting hesperidin from Citrus Aurantium L., followed by conversion of hesperidin to diosmin. Diosmin is considered to be a vascular-protecting agent used to treat chronic venous insufficiency, hemorrhoids, lymphedema, and varicose veins. As a flavonoid, diosmin also exhibits anti-inflammatory, free-radical scavenging, and antimutagenic properties. Diosmin has been used for more than 30 years as a phlebotonic and vascularprotecting agent, and has recently begun to be investigated for other therapeutic purposes, including cancer, premenstrual syndrome, colitis, and diabetes.

Main Function

(1) Daily chemicals material:Because kojic acid can inhibits caseinase activity,then inhibits skin melanin formation,Kojic acid and it,s derivatives widely used in high-quality skin lightening cosmetics, bath preparation and mouth or teeth care products.

At present, kojic acid,s level added in comestics is from 0.2 to 1.0 percent.
(2) Medicine material: Kojic acid and it,s derivatives are used as an important material in antibiotic -cephamycin,anodyne, and antiphlogistic production.
(3) Food additive:Koj ic acid and it,s derivatives work as antiseptic,antioxidant, preservative and color stablizer in meat processing, also act as useful materials of food aromatizer - maltol and ethylmaltol.
(4) Preservative and color stablizer of cut-flower: Kojic acid and it,s derivatives are added to cut-flower to keepflower colorful and fresh.
(5) Kojic acid has been used as film despecking agent and iron ananysis reagent.
(6) Kojic acid also is non-toxic to person and livestock, pollution-free pesticide in insecticide.
Application Because kojic acid and its ramification can inhibit safest the melanin growing of body-skin, its application is being more and more wide in whiten cosmetic, bath lotion, toothpaste etc. As to its actions of antiseptic,antioxidant and color-care, kojic acid also can be widely used in food aseptic,antioxidant of grease and food,antistaling agent of fruit and vegetable,and color-care antistaling agent of meat products and marine products.
