摘要:
Compositions for maintaining normal sexual function and treating sexual dysfunction in males and females comprising at least 15% by weight icariside I or at least 3.5% by weight anhydroicaritin, derived from extracts of plants belonging the Epimedium genus, and methods for preparing the same, are provided. The methods comprise subjecting an Epimedium extract to mild acid hydrolysis. Methods for maintaining normal sexual function and treating sexual dysfunction in both males and females are also provided, comprising oral administration of an effective amount of a novel composition of this invention comprising at least 15% by weight icariside I or at least 3.5% by weight anhydroicaritin.
摘要:
A process for the extraction and isolation of concentrated carnosic acid from plant matter of the Labiatae family including contacting the plant matter with a water-miscible solvent to form a plant extract and adjusting the pH of the plant extract to a level between 7 and 10 while adding water in an amount sufficient to cause precipitation of impurities while retaining the carnosic acid salt in solution. The impurities are separated and the remaining aqueous solution is acidified to precipitate a highly purified carnosic acid product which is essentially odorless, flavorless and colorless.
摘要:
An improved pigment composition containing an anthocyanin pigment and a pigment-improving agent selected from the group consisting of flavonoid glycuronides, flavonoid glucuronides, and caffeic acid derivatives. The pigment-improving agents deepen and improve the intensity of the anthocyanin pigment and increase its stability in the presence of light, heat and/or pH.
