Oil-Soluble Chlorophyll: Nature*s Lipid-Compatible Antioxidant
for Health and IndustryOil-Soluble
Chlorophyll, primarily composed of chlorophyll a (C₅₅H₇₂O₅N₄Mg)
and chlorophyll b (C₅₅H₇₀O₆N₄Mg), is the lipid-soluble form
of nature*s quintessential green pigment. Retaining the magnesium core and
phytol tail, this variant is engineered for seamless integration into
oil-based formulations, unlocking applications in nutraceuticals, cosmetics,
and functional foods (Lanfer-Marquez et al., 2005). At Biocaxis, we harness
cutting-edge processing to deliver oil-soluble chlorophyll that combines
bioavailability with sustainability, empowering industries to innovate with
nature*s vitality.
Natural Origins and Biomedical Significance
Sourced from chlorophyll-rich plants like spinach, spirulina, and alfalfa,
oil-soluble chlorophyll is extracted via supercritical CO₂ or lipid-assisted
methods to preserve its lipophilic properties (Saini et al., 2020). Its
intact porphyrin structure enables potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory
activity, neutralizing free radicals linked to oxidative stress and chronic
inflammation (Ferruzzi & Blakeslee, 2007). Studies highlight its role in
promoting skin health by accelerating wound healing and reducing UV-induced
damage (Wang et al., 2021), while its detoxifying effects support liver
function by binding to environmental toxins (Jubert et al., 2009).
Preclinical models also demonstrate its potential to inhibit tumor growth via
apoptosis induction in cancer cells (Chou et al., 2022).
Industrial Applications
Oil-soluble chlorophyll*s compatibility with lipid matrices makes it ideal
for:
- Cosmetics: Stabilized in creams,
serums, and oils for anti-aging and regenerative skincare (Pan et al.,
2018).
- Nutraceuticals:
Encapsulated in softgels or lipid-based supplements to enhance
bioavailability (Chen et al., 2020).
- Functional Foods:
Natural coloring for oil-rich products like dressings, spreads, and
confectionery (Mortensen, 2006).
- Pharmaceuticals:
Carrier systems for lipophilic drug formulations (Lionetto et al.,
2021).
Commitment to Innovation
Biocaxis employs enzymatic esterification and nanoemulsion technologies to
optimize solubility and stability in oil-based products (Liang et al., 2018).
Our chlorophyll is rigorously purified to >90% potency, free from
pesticides and heavy metals, meeting FDA, EFSA, and ISO standards. Advanced
microencapsulation extends shelf life (Zhang et al., 2023), while photostable
variants ensure vibrant color retention in UV-exposed applications (Khoo et
al., 2019).
