BEIJING, May 1, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Shineco, Inc. ("Shineco" or the "Company"; NASDAQ:
SISI), a provider of technologically advanced healthcare products
and services, announced today that its subsidiaries Fuzhou Medashan
Biotechnology Co., Ltd. and Kaifeng Yixi Biotechnology Co., Ltd.
have innovatively invented a new natural active water-soluble
product extracted from soybean gum. Pure physical extraction
technology of natural active phospholipids - Large column
chromatography polar ultrafiltration membrane pure physical
extraction technology has achieved an innovative breakthrough in
pure physical extraction technology of natural active
phospholipids, overcoming the current chemical solvent extraction
method from soybean gum at high temperature Dehydrated to
concentrated phospholipid oil, separated and extracted by chemical
solvents such as hexane, acetone, methane, etc., and then
evaporated and desolvated at high temperature. During the
production process, oxidation reactions, hydrolysis reactions,
polymerization reactions, chelation reactions, etc. will occur,
leading to destruction and change of the natural structure of
phospholipids. and a variety of active functional groups, resulting
in the inactivation or weakening of the activity of phospholipids.
In addition, the existing pure physical extraction techniques to
extract natural active phospholipids are extremely costly and can
only be applied in scientists' laboratories and cannot achieve
large-scale mass production. We have successfully developed and
produced natural water-soluble phospholipids with high
hydrophilicity, high activity, high purity, and high absorption and
utilization by the human body. The first batch of products will be
successfully put into production at the Kaifeng production base in
April 2024. Phospholipid
supplementation is a difficult problem in cellular nutrition
worldwide.
Modern biomedical research has confirmed that there are more
than 50,000 human diseases discovered so far, and the origin of the
disease is cell problems. Cells are the basic units of life, and
the health and vitality of cells directly affect the health of the
entire body. Cells need to continuously obtain nutrients from the
external environment to support their normal growth, division and
metabolic activities. When cells receive sufficient and balanced
nutrients, they can maintain optimal conditions, perform various
life activities, and maintain cell health. On the contrary, if cell
nutrition is insufficient or imbalanced, the normal function of
cells will be affected, which may lead to cell damage, aging and
even death.
Among the nutrients that are indispensable for human cells,
proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber,
water, etc., if they are lacking, they are usually supplemented by
the scientific method of "daily food + nutritional preparations".
Proteins, carbohydrates, fats, dietary fiber and other nutritional
products are becoming increasingly mature from theoretical research
to production technology. Industrial mass production has no
technical problems. From clinical medical nutrition to sub-health,
nutritional conditioning for post-illness rehabilitation to healthy
people Daily nutrition improves health. Patients, convalescents,
and people in sub-healthy conditions who lack these nutrients can
easily obtain supplements through food plus various nutritional
preparations such as industrially produced nutritional drugs and
functional foods.
Phospholipids exist in any cell in the human body and are the
main component of cell membranes (40%). They account for 40% of the
dry matter of the brain, 40% of the dry matter of bone marrow, and
25% of the total lipids in the blood. The mitochondria and Golgi
inside the cells Both bodies and microsomes have high
concentrations of phospholipids. Phospholipids have an amphipathic
structure, a bilayer structure in the water phase, and a variety of
unique physiological functions. As a functional nutrient for human
cells, phospholipids not only build cell membranes and organelle
membranes to maintain the stability and dynamic fluidity of cells
and organelles, but phospholipid molecules also enter Organelles,
as well as on cell membranes and organelle membranes, interact with
a variety of proteins, enzymes, and other molecules, participate in
a variety of physiological processes, regulate and participate in
material and energy metabolism, signal transduction, and
antioxidant, affecting cell growth, differentiation, Life
activities such as apoptosis often have the characteristics of
multi-targets, multi-mechanisms, multi-pathways and
multi-functions, and play an overall role. Compared with other
cellular nutrients, phospholipids have unique, critical and
irreplaceable functions within cells.
Excessive consumption, malabsorption, chronic diseases,
inflammation, frequent sexual life, skin damage, pregnancy and
postpartum, surgery, growth and development, excessive brain use,
etc. lead to phospholipid deficiency in human cells.
The human body can synthesize a small amount of phospholipids in
the body, but it cannot meet all the body's needs for
phospholipids. Especially with age, the body's own ability to
synthesize phospholipids gradually weakens, and most phospholipids
require exogenous intake, such as food and nutritional
preparations.
Supplementing the phospholipids that the human body lacks is a
difficult problem in cell function nutrition in today's world.
Adults can take 3000-3700mg of natural active phospholipids per
day, supplemented through food, which is equivalent to up to 30
eggs per day. Typically each egg yolk contains about 100-120 mg of
phospholipids. So 30 egg yolks contain approximately 3000-3600 mg
of phospholipids. This is an astonishing number! What is even more
troubling is that during food cooking and processing, the natural
amphiphilic structure and various active functional groups of
phospholipids are damaged by high temperatures, which will be
affected by high temperatures, resulting in a reduction or loss of
their activity. Moreover, our bodies cannot digest and absorb such
large amounts of food efficiently.
Because the chemical solvent extraction method has obvious
advantages such as low raw material requirements, simple and mature
equipment and processes, high efficiency, and low cost, as well as
multiple chemical purifications, it can also obtain high-purity
phospholipids, and chemical modification can obtain special
properties and functional phospholipids. It is convenient and has
become the mainstream technology for industrial extraction and
production of natural phospholipids.
The raw materials of phospholipid nutraceuticals, functional
foods and other preparations currently on the market are extracted
by chemical solvent extraction. Because the natural native parent
parent structure and activity of phospholipids are destroyed, their
effectiveness is far from the natural active phospholipids
extracted by physical methods. Consumers Users may also have safety
concerns.
Natural active phospholipids can only be obtained through pure
physical extraction. The pure physical extraction technology of
natural active phospholipids is a cutting-edge technology. Compared
with traditional chemical extraction methods, it avoids the use of
chemical solvents and retains the original biological activity,
structure and structure of natural phospholipids. The function has
unique advantages and meets the needs of medicine, functional food,
and beauty and skin care products for highly active, high-purity,
and high-quality phospholipids.
The purely physical extraction technology has complicated
processes, low extraction efficiency, extremely high cost, small
scale, and cannot leave the laboratory. The large-scale mass
production of natural active phospholipids extracted by purely
physical methods is a global problem.
The pure physical extraction technology of large column
chromatography polar ultrafiltration membrane innovatively invented
by Shanggao Company has great advantages compared with other pure
physical technologies such as carbon dioxide supercritical fluid
extraction and ultrasonic-assisted extraction. The raw material is
fresh soybean gum. The whole process is protected by inert gas and
the temperature is controlled below 80°C. No chemical solvents are
involved in the whole process. 80% aqueous solution is used as the
solvent (similar to the water content of the human body) to reduce
the orderly arrangement of phospholipid molecules. The natural
state protects the natural structure and activity of phospholipids
to the greatest extent and avoids various chemical reactions that
damage and change the original structure and biological activity of
phospholipids. At the same time, unlike other purely physical
methods that require multiple separations and extractions, the
process is complicated, the extraction efficiency is low, and the
cost is extremely high. It cannot be applied to industrial-scale
mass production and can only be applied in laboratories, which
cannot escape the limitations of small-scale preparation. Utilizing
specific structured phospholipid characteristics, through precise
parameter design and regulation and a special ultrafiltration
membrane structure, one-time precise separation and extraction is
achieved, which greatly improves the separation and extraction
efficiency and yield, and greatly reduces the cost. The purity of
phospholipids can reach more than 99% after one-time extraction,
the average PC content of and the PC content after purification
reaches more than 90%.
As an important and irreplaceable physiologically active
functional substance for human cells, phospholipids have multiple
pharmacological effects. The highly active and high-purity natural
water-soluble phospholipids extracted by purely physical methods
provide new possibilities for the research and development of new
drugs. Providing new treatment methods and means is of extremely
high value in the field of medical medicine.
At the same time, phospholipids serve as drug carriers, wrapping
drugs in phospholipid bilayer vesicles, and achieving targeted
delivery of drugs through the fusion of cell membranes. This kind
of delivery is highly selective and effective, can effectively
improve the bioavailability and targeting of drugs, and reduce the
side effects of drugs. It has shown remarkable efficacy in
anti-tumor, anti-Alzheimer's disease, anti-virus and other
fields.
The bioimaging function of phospholipids also provides new means
for disease diagnosis and treatment.
Phospholipids have excellent moisturizing, antioxidant and
anti-aging effects. Natural active water-soluble phospholipids
extracted by purely physical methods will be able to produce more
effective, safe and high-end products in the field of beauty and
skin care products.
In the field of cell function nutritional supplements, it will
promote product upgrading and is in line with the main theme of
natural, green and healthy, and is bound to become a super new
category of comprehensive health products.
3.85 billion years ago, a 50-million-year-old heavy rain fell on
the earth, and phospholipids were born in the water. Phospholipids
and water jointly created the original vesicle membrane structure
of life cells, ushering in the evolution of life on earth. It has
been nearly a hundred years since humans discovered soybean
phospholipids, a nutritional treasure of cellular functions, in
1930. Pure physical methods have been used to extract natural
active phospholipids from soybeans. From the shining scientific
theories and the laboratories of temple-like scientists, because of
Dazhu The invention and application of purely physical extraction
technology of chromatographic polar ultrafiltration membranes has
come to large-scale mass production factories, and a century-old
ideal has been realized, and finally the natural activity and water
solubility of Meierdashan have been presented in a natural state.
In front of mankind, natural active water-soluble phospholipids can
finally benefit the world. People finally have truly natural active
water-soluble phospholipids in medicines and functional foods. It
solves the two major world problems of "difficulty in replenishing
phospholipids" and "difficulty in pure physical extraction of
natural active phospholipids".
For the natural active water-soluble phospholipid project,
Shanggao Company and its subsidiaries Fuzhou Medashan Biotechnology
Co., Ltd. and Kaifeng Yixi Biotechnology Co., Ltd. will use the
establishment of a core value chain as their basic strategy,
focusing on drugs, functional foods, and beauty and skin care
products. The layout of the three major fields will create natural
active water phospholipids into a super new category in the health
industry. Annual sales revenue is expected to reach $1 billion within three years.
