Description
Goji contains large amount of polysaccharides, vitamins and amino acids. In cosmetics, goji can be applied to energize the cells and skin. It contributes to healthier skin. Eco Goji extract is obtained from the fruits of Lycium Barbarum L., coming from organic crop.
Macronutrients
Goji contains high percentages of required macronutrients, including carbohydrates (mainly galactose, glucose, rhamnose, arabinose, mannose and xylose, between 30-40%), proteins (12%), fat, fiber (10%) and glycoconjugates (some of them unique) which, even though they have varying compositions, are formed by 18 amino acids, galacturonic acid, six monosaccharides and share a glycane-serine glycopeptide (5-8%).
Micronutrients
• 11 essential minerals and 22 oligoelements, including:
• Calcium: It contains 112 mg/100 g of dry berry. It provides 8-10% of the recommended daily
intake (RDI)
• Potassium: It has 1.13 mg/100 g of dry berry. It provides 24% of RDI.
• Iron: It contains 9 mg/100 g of dry berry. It represents 100% of RDI.
• Zinc: 2 mg/100 g of dry berry. It provides 18% of RDI.
• Selenium: It contains 50 micrograms/100 g of dry berry. It represents 91% of RDI. 18 amino acids and betaine (found in 1% in the fruit)
• 6 essential vitamins (vitamin C, A, E, B1, B2 and B6)
• Riboflavin (vitamin B2): It has 1.3 mg/100 g of dry berry. It represents 100% of RDI.
• Vitamin C: From 29 mg to 148 mg/100 g of dry berry. It provides between 32% and 163% of RDI.
• Unsaturated fatty acids including linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid
• beta-Sitosterol and other phytosterols
• Carotenes: Beta-carotene, zeaxanthine, lutein, lycopene and cryptoxantine
• Various pigments (phenols)
Cosmetic application:
Dermostimulant activity❤
Goji contains a large amount of polysaccharides, amino acids and vitamins and, therefore, it deserves to
be considered as an energizing and stimulating ingredient, as it provides strength and energy to the cells
to perform their metabolic functions. Goji is included in the group of adaptogen plants and, due to its high
content of polysaccharides, it stimulates the immune system and also increases vital energy.
* Anti-oxidant❤
Lycium barbarum polysaccharides had antioxidant activities comparable to those of vitamin C and, moreover, if vitamin C was added to the treatment with polysaccharides, a greater in vivo antioxidant activity of polysaccharides was observed. Goji was useful to compensate the decrease of the total antioxidant capacity, the immune function and the activities of antioxidant enzymes, thereby reducing the risk of accelerated lipid peroxidation, caused by age.
