Nutritional value: Pueraria Mirifica is rich in amino acids, especially the essential amino acids that cannot be synthesized by the human body (in 100g of dry matter). It contains lysine (>10mg), methionine (>7.54mg), phenylalanine (>9.65mg), threonine (>9.63mg), isoleucine (>7.54mg), leucine (>11.54mg), valine (>11.24mg), and it is regarded as children's essential amino acid - histidine. In addition, the content of selenium, zinc, manganese, germanium and other trace elements in Pueraria Mirifica is also considerable. The first three are essential trace elements, the lack of which will lead to physical discomfort and disruption of physiological functions.
Physiological function: The total flavonoids in Pueraria Mirifica can increase the blood flow of the brain and coronary arteries. Pueraria lobata has an obvious promotion effect on cerebral circulation and peripheral circulation in animals and humans. The total flavonoids of Pueraria Mirifica have a mild promoting effect in improving the cerebrovascular tone, elasticity and pulsatile blood supply in patients with hypertension and coronary heart disease. Pueraria Mirifica not only improves the normal cerebral microcirculation of the human body, but also has a significant improvement effect on microcirculation disorders, which is mainly manifested as an increase in the amplitude of local microvascular blood flow and movement. Pueraria Mirifica also has an improvement effect on the microcirculation of the nail folds of patients with sudden deafness, which can accelerate the microvascular blood flow rate, clear the vascular collaterals of stasis, and improve the patient's hearing. Puerarin has a protective effect on hypoxic myocardium, which can significantly reduce the oxygen consumption of ischemic myocardium and protect the heart from ultrastructural damage caused by ischemia-reperfusion.
Development and utilization: Pueraria Mirifica starch extracted by scientific methods is rich in a variety of essential amino acids, as well as selenium, zinc, manganese, germanium and other trace elements. In addition, the content of Puerarin, soy flavonoids and other isoflavonoids with anti-cancer and anti-cancer effects is also considerable. Pueraria Mirifica is both a nutritious high-grade starch and a high-quality base material for processing functional green food. In addition to be made into pure raw kudzu powder, instant kudzu powder, nutritious kudzu powder and other health food, but also the production of bread, cakes, cookies and other catering snacks. In recent years, the price of Pueraria lobata has been maintained at more than 30,000 yuan / ton, and is a rising trend. According to the latest information from the Ministry of Foreign Trade, the export price of Pueraria lobata was as high as $8,000 per ton during the period of 98-99.
Total flavonoids of Pueraria Mirifica, as the important physiological active ingredients of Pueraria Mirifica, contain almost all the active substances of Pueraria Mirifica, which have the effect of regulating the blood circulation system, slowing down the heart rate, lowering the peripheral resistance, improving the metabolism of ischemic myocardium, and resisting the arrhythmia of the heart rate, and so on. The flavonoid extracted from Pueraria Mirifica can be further dried and granulated into Chinese medicinal dip tablets; after purification, the flavonoid extract can be made into powders, aqueous and other different dosage forms for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Due to the increasing number of patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases in the world, and the total flavonoids of Pueraria Mirifica have a significant effect on the treatment of such diseases, it can be predicted that the future market demand for flavonoid extract will continue to expand.
