Cassia Nomame Extract

Product Details

Cassia nomame extract is the dried whole herb of the legume bean tea Cassia nomame (Sieb.) Kitagawa. Also known as Guanmen grass, mountain lentils, and camellia tea. Distributed in Northeast, Hebei, Shandong, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou and other places. Saponin polyphenol extract has obvious inhibitory effect on gastrointestinal lipase, which can effectively prevent the decomposition of fatty substances in the digestive tract, so that it cannot be decomposed and is directly excreted from the body, thereby playing a role in weight loss and blood lipid lowering.

The flavanol extract of Saponin is a natural lipase inhibitor that inhibits lipase enzymes that break down fat for absorption. By “blocking” the enzyme from working, fat passes through the body without being absorbed. Saponin is also a diuretic, which has a fat burning effect to stimulate the burning of fat cells in the body.

Cassia nomame extract is widely used in the production of slimming drugs, food additives and cosmetics, and is a very popular raw material for pharmaceutical and health care products.

Health Benefits

• Inhibit the action of lipase

Cassia nomame extract CT-Ⅱ is a strong lipase inhibitor, which can effectively prevent and improve body fat, liver fat and hypertriglyceridemia caused by high-fat diet. The lipase inhibitory effect of Saponin is the flavanol polyphenol compound, and the dimer compound has the strongest inhibitory ability. The FE-11 fraction of the crudely purified diethyl ether extraction fraction of A. serrata has extremely strong inhibitory activity, its IC50 is 0.20μmol/L, and the average molecular weight of this part is measured to be 1020.

• Anti-mutagenic and anti-chromosomal aberration effects

The cassia nomame can significantly reduce the frequency of chromosomal aberrations in Chinese rat ovary (CHO) K1 cells. At the same time, it can also be known that the growth and reproduction of CHO cells treated with 2.5μmol/L erythromycin C (MMC) were significantly inhibited, but the cassia nomame could quickly eliminate this inhibition. These two results indicate that the water extract of cassia nomame can effectively prevent the induced cell division and the physiological damage to the cells caused by erythrase. This means that cassia nomame water extract can play an important role in anti-mutagenesis, anti-cancer and so on. In addition, its ability to recover from the physiological damage caused by MMC is also of great significance, and may be helpful for disease treatment, even cancer treatment.

•  Inhibitory and antioxidant effects on the acid value of Cantonese sausage

Compared with the control, the peroxide value and TBA value of the sausage added with cassia nomame and catechin were significantly lower, and the acid value of the sausage added with 0.08% water sausage extract was lower than that of the control group, indicating that cassia nomame also has antioxidant effect and acid value inhibition.

• Insecticidal effect

8% ethanol extract of cassia nomame has a strong contact killing effect on the fifth instar larvae of armyworm (Mythimnaseparate), and the corrected mortality rate at 76g/L concentration is 70%; Antifeeding effect, the antifeeding rate at the concentration of 380g/L is as high as 100%; it has a certain contact killing effect on Tetranychuscinnabarinus, and the corrected mortality rate at the concentration of 3.8g/L is 33.4%. The mode of action of 85% ethanol extract of cassia nomame on armyworm showed strong contact killing effect, strong antifeeding (antifeeding rate of 67.38%) and stomach toxicity (corrected mortality rate of 42.87%), strong growth and development Inhibitory effect (the growth inhibition rate of 3d after treatment was 100%), but no ovicidal, pupa, fumigation, anesthesia and systemic effects.
