An important breakthrough in "plant gold extraction technology" in Heilongjiang Province

The reporter recently learned from Daqing science and Technology Bureau that the "plant gold extraction technology" developed by the provincial agricultural product processing engineering technology research center has established a method of extracting lutein from corn by using microwave ultrasound, which has made an important breakthrough The technology has reached the international leading level through demonstration and obtained national patent The reason why plant lutein is called "plant gold" is that the price of lutein is very expensive The price of a gram of lutein in the international market is about 60000-100000 yuan, nearly 200 times more expensive than real gold Lutein is the main pigment in the macular area of human retina It has a good inhibitory effect on a variety of cancers, such as breast cancer, prostate cancer, rectal cancer, skin cancer, etc it has a significant delaying effect on arteriosclerosis, and can effectively reduce the incidence of cataract in the elderly The substance can effectively prevent the damage of active oxygen free radicals to normal cells in the human body, thus protecting the body from injury and enhancing the anti-aging ability of the body As a result, lutein is known as cancer preventer, life extender, ulcer resister and heart attack and coronary artery disease resister According to reports, "plant gold extraction technology" research and development success, lutein extraction purity will be higher, so as to better meet the needs of pharmaceutical raw materials, food additives and feed additives.
