The maturity of the upstream industry promotes the development of gastrodia polysaccharide industry. Currently, there are few products on the market.

Gastrodia polysaccharide is a polysaccharide compound extracted from Gastrodia elata plants. It usually appears as an earthy yellow powder and is the main active ingredient of Gastrodia elata. Gastrodia polysaccharide has various effects such as antibacterial, antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-aging, lowering blood lipids, lowering blood pressure, immune regulation, improving memory, etc. It can effectively inhibit epileptic discharges in the brain, relieve smooth muscle spasm and colic, and treat facial nerve convulsions. , limb numbness, hemiplegia, epilepsy and other symptoms have a certain effect.

The production of gastrodia polysaccharide is greatly affected by the upstream gastrodia industry. my country’s Gastrodia elata industry has been developing for a long time, and Gastrodia elata artificial cultivation technology has become mature. Gastrodia elata planting bases are widely distributed in Yunnan, Guizhou, Anhui, Hubei, Shaanxi and other places. Among them, Zhaotong Gastrodia elata in Yunnan has the highest quality. The development of Gastrodia elata industry ensures the output and quality of Gastrodia elata polysaccharide raw materials and promotes the good development of Gastrodia elata polysaccharide industry.

According to the “China Gastrodia Gastrodia Polysaccharide Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report 2023-2028 released by the Industrial Research Center, Gastrodia Gastrodiae Polysaccharides have good film-forming, hygroscopic, and moisturizing properties. In 2022, Yunnan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine added gastrodia polysaccharide as an excipient in the production of health products and pharmaceutical raw materials, which has the effect of increasing the viscosity of the product, assisting in product film formation, and improving the safety of health products and drugs. Gastrodia polysaccharide also has antioxidant and anti-aging effects, and is an ideal raw material for cosmetics production. Currently, there are few products on the market that use gastrodia polysaccharide as the main raw material. There are only a few categories such as Silvi Gastrodia Cleansing Cream and Skin Care Queen Gastrodia Herbal Moisturizing Mask, and there is a lack of representative products. Gastrodia polysaccharide has high application value, but is currently rarely used in the market.

At present, the production technology of Gastrodia polysaccharide is mainly divided into water extraction and alcohol precipitation method, enzyme-assisted extraction method, ultrasonic water extraction method, and microwave extraction method. The water extraction and alcohol precipitation method is simple to operate, green and environmentally friendly, but has a long production cycle and low production efficiency; the enzyme-assisted extraction method has a high extraction rate, short production cycle, and high production efficiency, but has higher production costs, cumbersome operating steps, and poor production conditions. The requirements are higher; although the ultrasonic water extraction method and the microwave extraction method have higher extraction rates and better production efficiency, they are limited by equipment and are not convenient for large-scale production. At present, the mainstream production process of Gastrodia elata polysaccharide in the market is water extraction and alcohol precipitation.

At present, there are few gastrodia polysaccharide production companies on the market, and most of them are located close to Zhaotong County, Yunnan, the main production area of ​​high-quality gastrodia in my country, which saves the transportation cost of raw materials, such as Dafang County Jiulong Gastrodia Development Co., Ltd., Yunnan Yungatrodia Co., Ltd., Yiliangshan Yibao Biotechnology Technology Co., Ltd., etc.

Industry analysts said that the maturity of my country’s gastrodia gastrodia industry has laid a good foundation for the development of the gastrodia polysaccharide industry. It is expected that with the advancement of technology, the public As awareness of Gastrodia polysaccharide increases, the market demand for Gastrodia polysaccharide will further increase. Gastrodia polysaccharide enterprises should increase research and development efforts, improve technical levels, innovate production processes, improve production efficiency, and at the same time strengthen publicity, actively cooperate with downstream enterprises, and develop the application value of Gastrodia polysaccharide in downstream fields.
