Flavanones have good application prospects and local companies need to develop

Flavanone (C9H8O) is an organic compound whose molecular structure contains a five-membered ring and a ketone group. It is a colorless to light yellow liquid with a special aroma.

According to the “China’s Flavanone Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report 2023-2028” released by the Industrial Research Center, Flavanones are compounds that widely exist in nature and are distributed in fruits such as oranges, lemons, and tangerines, and in plants such as lemongrass and lemon balm. At the same time, flavanones can also be prepared through chemical synthesis.

Flavanones have a strong aroma and are widely used in spices, food, cosmetics, medicine and other fields. In food, flavanones can increase the aroma of food and improve the taste of food; in cosmetics, flavanones can make products rich in aroma and enhance product appeal. As national living standards improve, there are more requirements for product quality and additional attributes, and flavanones have good application prospects.

Studies have shown that ketones are natural, safe and effective ingredients rich in fruits and vegetables. They have biological effects such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and delayed immune aging. They can inhibit tumors, protect nerves, and prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases. , flavonoids have shown anti-aging and life-extending effects in the laboratory, and can extend the lifespan of various model organisms.

Flavanones can not only exert the antiviral, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects of ketone compounds, but also have strong free radical scavenging activity, which can improve capillary fragility, reduce allergic reactions, and inhibit human platelet aggregation. It is used to treat liver diseases such as hepatitis and cirrhosis, and can also be used to treat skin diseases such as skin inflammation and eczema. As a country with a large population, the number of patients with skin diseases and liver diseases in my country is increasing year by year. With the improvement of national health awareness and the advancement of medical technology, the application of flavanones in the pharmaceutical field will continue to increase, and the market demand is large.

Since flavanone extraction and preparation have high industry barriers, foreign brands started early, took a long time to develop, and have relatively advanced and mature production processes. They occupy a strong position in market competition, while local brands still need to be developed. At present, the main flavanone companies on the market include Parker Biotech Co., Ltd. of the United States, Wako Pure Chemical Industries, Ltd. of Japan, Merck of Germany, and Shanghai Fengqing Chemical Co., Ltd. of China.

Industry analysts said that flavanones have a wide range of applications, especially in the pharmaceutical field, and have significant effects with the development of medical technology. Improvement, the development prospects of flavanones are good. At present, domestic flavanone extraction and production technology still needs to be improved, and there is considerable room for development. Domestic flavanone-related companies still need to increase capital investment, develop flavanone extraction and production processes, improve production technology, and improve their core competitive advantages. ,Seize the market. At the same time, because flavanones are dangerous, standard operating procedures need to be strictly followed during the production process, and waste disposal must be carried out in accordance with relevant national regulations.
