1. The preparation process of Pandan leaf powder is as follows:

 

  • Selected leaves: only the middle mature leaves with a growth cycle of 90-120 days are taken.
  • Low temperature lock freshness: -40℃ vacuum freeze drying technology is used to retain 98% of volatile aromatic substances.
  • Nano-level grinding: The particle size is controlled at 10-50μm through air flow crushing technology to improve bioavailability.

 

2. Core active ingredients:

 

  • Natural pigments: chlorophyll a/b and carotenoids.
  • Antioxidant matrix: isopentyl compounds and polyphenols.
  • Functional nutrients: vitamin B, calcium, dietary fiber.

 

pandan leaf powder benefits:

It can promote the proliferation of intestinal bifidobacteria, while inhibiting pathogenic bacteria such as Clostridium perfringens. The production of short-chain fatty acids in metabolites is increased to 9.8mmol/L, optimizing the intestinal barrier function.

 

5. Skin health support

  • When applied externally, pandan flavor powder inhibits tyrosinase activity, and its whitening efficiency is 1.5 times that of arbutin.
  • Anti-photoaging: Reduces UVB-induced collagen degradation.

 

6. Immunomodulatory properties
Polysaccharide components activate macrophages through the TLR4/MyD88 signaling pathway, increasing IL-10 secretion by 3.2 times and enhancing natural killer cell activity.

 

Quality identification standards:

 

  • Color: High-quality products are bright green, while low-quality products are yellow-brown due to oxidation.
  • Smell: Pandan extract powder should have a fresh fragrance of rice dumplings. If there is a musty smell, it indicates improper storage.
