Description

Egg butter preparation system containing curcumin

This creation is about a preparation system, especially a preparation system that can simultaneously extract curcumin and egg butter to prepare curcumin-containing egg butter.

Curcumin (curcumin) is derived from the root of the plant turmeric (curcuma longa), which grows in tropical countries in the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. Curcumin is a natural compound that has been extensively studied, and is known to have a wide range of pharmacological applications, such as reports of preventive, delayed or therapeutic effects in arthritis, allergies, asthma, atherosclerosis, heart disease and cancer. Although curcumin has proven its safety and effectiveness, because of its extremely low water solubility, it is easily excreted from the body, resulting in insufficient absorption of body tissues, and it will be decomposed in an alkaline pH environment, and severely reduced Its bioavailability. At present, the commonly used methods of extracting curcumin are organic solvent extraction, combined enzyme, ultrasonic or microwave extraction.

Egg butter is derived from poultry egg yolk extraction. Egg butter contains 65% neutral fat (triglyceride), 31% egg yolk lecithin (lecithin), and 4% cholesterol (cholesterol). The high content of lecithin has an important effect on the maintenance of physiological functions of the body, such as maintaining the integrity of cell membranes, normal liver and kidney functions, etc., as well as preventing arteriosclerosis, heart and liver diseases, reducing blood lipids and liver lipids, and preventing gallbladder The functions of calculus, prevention of Alzheimer's disease and cancer prevention, etc., are products that are extremely economical and worth developing.
