Kojic Acid

Product Description

1.Applied in the field of cosmetics. In human skin, tyrosine undergoes complex oxidation and polymerization with oxygen free radicals under the catalysis of tyrosinase, and finally synthesizes melanin. Kojic acid can inhibit the synthesis of tyrosinase, so it can strongly inhibit the formation of melanin in the skin. It is safe and non-toxic, and will not produce sequelae of leukoplakia. Therefore, Kojic acid has been formulated into lotions, facial masks, lotions, and skin creams. It can effectively treat freckles, age spots, pigmentation, acne and other high-end whitening cosmetics. Kojic acid at a concentration of 20ug/ml can inhibit 70~80% of the activity of a variety of tyrosinase (or polyphenol oxidase PPO), and the general addition amount in cosmetics is 0.5~2.0%.

2.food processing field. Kojic acid can be used as a food additive, which has the functions of preservation, antiseptic and anti-oxidation. Experiments have shown that kojic acid can inhibit the conversion of sodium nitri in bacon to carcinogenic nitrosamines, and the addition of kojic acid to food will not affect the taste, aroma and texture of food; kojic acid is also the production of maltol and ethyl maltol As raw materials, kojic acid has a wide range of applications in food processing.

3.The field of medicine. Because kojic acid has no mutagenic effect on eukaryotic cells, it can eliminate free radicals in the human body, enhance white blood cell motility, etc., which is beneficial to human health. Therefore, kojic acid has been used as a raw material for cephalosporin antibiotics, and the finished medicine produced is used for treatment For headaches, toothaches and local inflammations, the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects are very good.

4.In the agricultural field. Kojic acid can be used to produce biological pesticides. Add 0.5~1.0% kojic acid to make biological micro-fertilizer (dark red liquid), whether it is sprayed as a foliar fertilizer at a low concentration, or made into a growth-increasing agent for root application, this crop production promoter is effective for food and Vegetables have obvious yield-increasing effects.

5.In other fields. Kojic acid can also be used as iron analysis reagent, film spot remover and so on.
