Application of silk orchid extract in pet industry

Yucca, known as pineapple, is a genus of Yucca in the family Gentianaceae, mainly distributed in the desert areas of the southwest of the United States and northern Mexico The so-called silk orchid extract is to take the silk orchid as the raw material, use the organic reagent methanol or ethanol to extract through reflux, and then concentrate to get the crude product, and then remove the impurities through two-phase extraction (water, n-butanol) After the n-butanol phase is evaporated dry, the ether reflux to get the ether insoluble substance, namely silk orchid extract In the field of plant extraction, especially in the developed countries such as the United States and Europe, silk orchid has already been put into commercial use In recent years, the domestic silk orchid market has become more and more mature As a human food additive and animal feed additive, it has been accepted by more and more manufacturers With the development of science, the substance (i.e silk orchid saponin) extracted by scientists from silk orchid has a special physiological structure, which has strong resistance to harmful gases, so it is widely used as an additive in animal husbandry, pet feed production and food production Obviously, as a pet food, yucca extract is also a very good additive Its main components are some saponin ligands and carbohydrate complexes Because of its special physiological structure, it is widely used in pet food What are the functions of additives in pet food? 1 Reduce pet harmful emissions In recent studies, the wild imported plant, celadon and Impatiens, has shown that there are two kinds of polyphenols, which have extremely important biological functions, such as combination of ammonia, inhibition of urine enzymes, antioxidation, anti-virus, anti-inflammatory and other unique Function: it can reduce the possibility of amino acid degradation by inhibiting the activity of urinary enzyme and promoting the absorption of peptides and amino acids, so as to significantly reduce the production of endogenous ammonia in pets 2 Increase the absorption of protein by pets A large number of literatures have confirmed that the serum protein concentration of pets who have eaten the extract of silk orchid is significantly higher than that of ordinary pet food That is to say, the increase of the extract of silk orchid is more conducive to the absorption of protein by pets, and also improves the benefit of pet food Efficiency 3 Increase the disease resistance of dogs and cats It can prevent some viruses from invading and inhibit the absorption of harmful bacteria in the digestive tract It can also reduce the concentration of ammonia in the blood of dogs and cats, so as to avoid nervous system disorders In addition, reducing the concentration of irritant gas reduces the incidence of respiratory diseases 4 As the enhancer of pet food flavor Because of its special effect, it has been used as foaming agent and food flavor enhancer in the food industry for a long time It can enhance the flavor of pet food, stimulate the appetite of pet, and improve the palatability and tolerance of pet food 5 It can replace antibiotics Some data show that the feed with silk orchid extract can significantly improve the biochemical indicators of pets, provide an invisible protective barrier for pets, and increase the immunity of pets To sum up, yucca extract has so many advantages that it has been widely promoted to add yucca extract to pet food In recent years, the domestic silk orchid market is becoming more and more mature, but the quality of the products on the market is different In order to let readers better distinguish the silk orchid extract which is consistent with the international quality standard, the author transferred out the silk orchid test data made in cooperation with Xi'an Lvtian Biotechnology Co., Ltd to extract the domestic sisal Selangor The contents of the extracts from the wild desert of Yucca deservus were compared with those obtained from the wild desert desert orchid The content of the extract, height of the foam and TLC map were directly distinguished From the first picture above, it is intuitively clear that the yucca and imported Yucca are essentially different The two sides are filled with imported yucca, and the two test tubes in the middle are made of Yucca domestically The color of imported silk orchid is reddish brown after agent penetration Two of domestic silk orchids are yellow and one is white Saponin content and foam height were also significantly higher than those of Yucca domestically Secondly, the TLC spectrum clearly distinguishes the differences between the imported and the domestic in the attributes The author of this paper: Yang Jiatao, product director of Xi'an Lvtian Biotechnology Co., Ltd., living and working in North America for more than ten years, and operating large quantities of natural imported plant materials for many years.
