Food additive - Gamma oryzanol: an emerging food additive.
With the development of the food industry, food additives play an increasingly important role in food production. Among them, gamma oryzanol, as an emerging food additive, has attracted much attention. This article will provide an introduction to -gamma oryzanol, its role and applications, as well as its possible effects and safety issues.
1. Introduction to gamma oryzanol.
Gamma oryzanol is a natural plant compound that is mainly found in vegetable oils such as rice oil and corn oil. It has a variety of biological activities such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and anti-tumor, and is considered to be a compound with high medicinal value. In recent years, with the increasing attention of people to health, gamma oryzanol, as an emerging food additive, has been widely used in the food industry.
2. The role and application of gamma oryzanol.
1.Antioxidant effect: -Gamma oryzanol has a strong antioxidant effect, which can effectively scavenge free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage. This antioxidant effect helps to extend the shelf life of food and at the same time has a positive effect on human health.
2.Anti-inflammatory effect: - Gamma oryzanol has an anti-inflammatory effect, which can relieve inflammation and reduce symptoms such as pain and swelling. This effect is of great significance for the prevention and treatment of some inflammatory diseases.
