White pearl powder is a powder made from ground pearls, possessing medicinal, cosmetic, and edible value.

 

1. Raw Material Differences:

  • Freshwater pearls: Nucleus-free, pure nacre, powder production is free of impurities, lower cost.
  • Seawater pearls: Contain a nucleus, requiring nucleus removal before grinding, complex process, higher cost, lower production volume.

 

2. Processing Methods:

  • Physical Grinding: Ball milling or air jet milling, retains all nutrients, suitable for external use.
  • Chemical Treatment: Acid hydrolysis or enzymatic hydrolysis, dissolves in water but some nutrients are lost, suitable for internal use by those with low stomach acid.

Protein-rich pearl powder can significantly extend the lifespan of C. elegans, primarily due to its antioxidant activity. Both in vivo and in vitro studies have demonstrated that pearl powder is an effective antioxidant and has the potential to treat various age-related degenerative diseases.

 

However, particle size may affect its antioxidant activity. Ultranano and ultramicron pearl powders exhibit better free radical scavenging effects than water-soluble pearl powder.
