Color performance: 1% added amount will show a bright blue color (λmax 610nm), suitable for acidic beverages with pH 2.5-6.0 (such as sparkling water, jelly).
2. Antioxidant and anti-aging
Free radical scavenging: ORAC value ≥15000 μmol TE/g, inhibiting lipid peroxidation (IC50 <50 μg/ml).
Collagen activation: promotes fibroblast proliferation and reduces ultraviolet-induced skin aging (clinical data: 4 weeks of topical use, skin elasticity increased by 18%↑).
3. Eye protection and cognitive health
Retinal protection: improves microcirculation and relieves visual fatigue (animal experiment: enhances retinal antioxidant enzyme activity by 30%↑).
Neuroprotection: Inhibiting acetylcholinesterase and potentially delaying the progression of Alzheimer's disease (confirmed in vitro studies).
4. Anti-inflammatory and metabolic regulation
Inhibiting inflammatory factors: downregulate COX-2 and IL-6 expressions and relieve chronic inflammation (such as significant effects in arthritis model).
Blood glucose management: α-glucosidase inhibitory activity (IC50 0.8 mg/ml), assisting in the control of postprandial blood sugar.
