Definition of Plant Extract

 

 

Plant extract refers to a product that is formed through an extraction and separation process where plants are used as raw materials. Generally the original components of the plants are not changed. In some cases, excipients are also used to make the powder or granular products have features like good fluidity and resistance to moisture absorption. There are also a small amount of liquid or oily plant extract products.

 

5 Benefits of Plant Extracts

 

Soothes Our Skin

It’s helpful to know that your skin’s layer is extremely thin. This means if we use harsh skincare products, it will not benefit our skin, but instead could damage the skin’s stratum corneum, or the outermost layer of the epidermis. Enter plant-based skincare products. The plant extracts satisfy the needs of people with varying skin types. You will find the ingredients are well suited to skin nourishment, as the raw materials that make up plant-based skincare products are naturally derived, safe, and quite gentle.

Safe and Gentle

Plants have been renowned for many centuries for their effectiveness in beauty products. The widespread desire for plant-based skincare products is connected to the significant demand among consumers for green and healthy products, especially when it comes to health and beauty goods. As opposed to the past, when the plants were added to products, now plant-based skincare products entail using plant extracts or concentrate formulated with plant extract-based additives.

Fast Absorption

Plant-based skincare products are noted for their fast absorption and a high level of permeability in the skin. In contrast to mineral-based skincare products, skincare products derived from plant extracts have an invigorating and mild texture that permeates the inner layer of your skin to achieve a deep moisturizing effect. What’s more, plant-based skincare products are infused with plant molecules that are smaller and easier to be absorbed.

More Active Compounds

Plant-based skincare contains more active compounds than synthetic skincare does. For example, synthetic skincare products usually are infused with 80 percent to 90 percent neutral base ingredients, such as water, oils, and waxes. In contrast, whole plant skincare reverses this ratio and contains primarily active ingredients and few structural nutritionally neutral ingredients. Each of the plant-based oils, juices, and extracts adds to the effectiveness of the product.

Supports the Skin Microbiome

Plant-based skincare products help to strengthen the skin microbiome. Your skin microbiome is an ecosystem of bacteria on the skin’s surface. Research indicates that synthetic ingredients strip the skin of important bacteria and suppress the skin microbiome with repeated exposure. However, plant ingredients have a superior effect, supporting the feeling of balanced moisture and skin health.

 

Applications of Plant Extract
 

Medical industry
Medicinal plant extracts are currently of considerable importance because of their special attributes as a large source of therapeutic phytochemicals that lead to the development of new drugs. Since phenolic and flavonoid plant extracts have antioxidant activity, it has been reported that most chemicals from plant sources such as phenols and flavonoids have a positive impact on health and cancer prevention. The antioxidant activity of phenolic and flavonoid plays a role in preventing the development of age-related diseases that are particularly caused by oxidative stress.

 

Cosmetics industry
Plant extracts are attracting increasing interests in the cosmetics industry. There are now growing scientific evidences that plant extracts have a broad and complex arsenal of active ingredients that not only calm or smooth skin, but also repair and protect human skin. In addition, plant extracts may contain compounds having antimicrobial or other beneficial properties that affect the formulation of cosmetics. Plant extracts can provide formulators with more choices at the technical level in cosmetics industry and meet the diverse needs of consumers.

 

Health food industry
Plant extracts can be used in health foods. Health foods are a specific type of food that has specific functions for the human body, but they are not intended to treat diseases and are suitable for consumption by a specific population. For example, endogenous plant antioxidants, which are extracted from tea, sesame and wild rice, as well as from other plant sources such as rice husks, can inhibit lipid peroxidation and protect the membrane from oxidative damage of membrane function.

What Are the Main Properties of Plant Extracts?

Antioxidants: Plant extracts may be rich in antioxidants, substances that protect cells against oxidation caused by many external factors (UV, pollution…)


Anti-inflammatory: Plant extracts are capable of reducing inflammation in the body.


Antimicrobial: Plant extracts eliminate or inhibit the growth of microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses and fungi by virtue of their antimicrobial properties.


Antispasmodic: Plant extracts with antispasmodic properties help reduce muscle spasms.


Vasodilators: Plant extracts contain vasodilator properties, which means that they can dilate blood vessels and improve blood circulation.

 

Xtraction Methods of Plant Extracts

 

Distillation extraction method
Distillation extraction is the extraction method of most essential oils, which requires a large amount of plants. Usually, thousands of kilograms of plants can only extract tens of kilograms of essential oils, but high temperature may change the original smell of plants.

 

Pressing method/cold pressing extraction method
This is currently the most commonly used plant extraction method to extract plants with oily components (peel, seeds, etc.). Squeeze the peel or kernels, add water to the juice, and finally separate the oil from the water by centrifugal force. Cold pressing does not mean a low-temperature environment, but a lower operating temperature (40-60°C) than general high-temperature extraction.

 

Freeze-drying method
Freeze drying is also called sublimation drying. The drying method is to freeze the water-containing material below the freezing point, turn the water into ice, and then turn the ice into vapor under a relatively high vacuum to remove it. Its main advantages are: The dried material maintains the original composition and appearance. The heat consumption is less than other drying methods.

 

Solvent extraction method
The essence of the plant is extracted by using the dissolving power of the solvent to obtain a mixture containing solvent and botanical ingredients.

 

Oil bubble extraction method
Soak the plant in vegetable oil to break the oil cells of the plant, and the hot oil will absorb the released essence, and finally filter and purify.

 

 
FAQ

 

Q: How does plant extraction work?

A: The plant material is soaked for some time, after which it is filtered out from the plant extract-laden water. Subsequently, the collected liquid is heated and cooled. This process is repeated until all required compounds are extracted from the raw materials.

Q: How to determine plant extract concentration?

A: For the determination of extract concentration you need to evaporate the solvent (by vacuum evaporator or lyophilisator) and than dissolve the crude extract in the known volume. Usually the concentration used is 1 mg/mL so it is easier to compare the result with those published by other authors.

Q: What is the chemistry of plant extracts?

A: Plant extracts contain a varied range of chemicals such as terpenoids, phenolic compounds, alkaloids, glucosinolates, and various organic acids. These chemicals are responsible for their unique nature and perceived biological activity of plant extracts.

Q: How to make botanical extracts?

A: Gather the useful parts of the herb(s), possibly the berries, leaves, roots, bark, or all of these, and remove any unwanted parts.
Wash and coarsely chop the herbs.
Place them into an airtight jar.
Pour alcohol or vinegar into the jar and seal it. For fresh herbs, use a 1-1 plant-to-alcohol ratio.

Q: What is the percentage yield in plant extract?

A: Percentage yield of an extract can be calculated by dividing the weight of a dry extract by the weight of the dry plant biomass and multiplying by 100.

Q: How do you know if extract is bad?

A: With these, look out for an off smell, diminished flavor, or even mold, especially if the bottle's been stored improperly. Check the label to see if your extract may be subject to degrade quicker due to added sugar.
