Function
- Blood Glucose Regulation: DNJ in mulberry leaf extract can effectively inhibit the activity of α - glucosidase, thus delaying the digestion and absorption of carbohydrates, helping to maintain stable blood glucose levels. It is widely used in the development of health products and functional foods for people with high blood sugar or diabetes.
- Antioxidant Properties: Flavonoids and polysaccharides in mulberry leaf extract have strong antioxidant effects. They can scavenge free radicals in the body, reduce oxidative stress, and help prevent various diseases related to oxidative damage, such as cardiovascular diseases and aging - related problems.
- Lipid - Lowering Effect: Mulberry leaf extract can regulate lipid metabolism, reduce the levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low - density lipoprotein cholesterol in the blood, and increase the level of high - density lipoprotein cholesterol. It is beneficial for maintaining healthy blood lipid levels and preventing hyperlipidemia.
- Liver Protection: It shows certain hepatoprotective effects by protecting liver cells from damage and promoting the repair of liver tissue. It can be used in products aiming to protect liver function.
- Cosmetic Applications: Due to its antioxidant and anti - aging properties, mulberry leaf extract is also used in the cosmetic industry. It can be added to skin - care products to improve skin elasticity, reduce wrinkles, and brighten the complexion.
