The market demand for chlorogenic acid is vast, and medicine is its main application field.

Chlorogenic acid, also known as chlorogenic acid, chlorogenic acid, and coffee tannic acid, is a natural organic compound with the chemical formula C16H18O9. The hemihydrate is a needle-shaped crystal, easily soluble in ethanol and acetone, and very slightly soluble in acetic acid. Ethyl ester. Chlorogenic acid comes from a wide range of sources, mainly found in honeysuckle, eucommia, tobacco, moso bamboo, sunflower and other plants. It is depsis acid generated from caffeic acid and quinic acid.

Chlorogenic acid has a wide range of biological activities and can be used in food, health care, medicine, chemical industry, cosmetics, pesticides and other fields. Among them, medicine is the main application field of chlorogenic acid. Chlorogenic acid has good pharmacological effects, including antibacterial, antiviral, antioxidant, anti-skeletal aging, anti-tumor, lowering blood pressure, lowering blood lipids, inhibiting mutations, protecting cardiovascular, etc. It is an important class of pharmaceutical intermediates. At present, chlorogenic acid has been developed in the pharmaceutical field into the Yinhuang series of drugs including Yinhuang soft capsules, Yinhuang dropping pills, etc., and the Shuanghuanglian series of drugs including Shuanghuanglian oral liquid, Shuanghuanglian granules, etc. There is huge market demand. broad.

According to the “China Chlorogenic Acid Industry Market Monitoring and Future Development Prospects Research Report 2023-2027” released by the Industrial Research Center , At present, chlorogenic acid is mainly extracted from natural plants. The main technical routes include enzymatic extraction, reflux extraction, microwave extraction, organic solvent extraction, membrane separation technology extraction, supercritical fluid extraction, ultrasonic-assisted extraction, etc. Domestic chlorogenic acid The level of extraction technology is constantly improving with the upgrading of science, technology and equipment. As chlorogenic acid extraction technology continues to be upgraded, its production efficiency is gradually improving and output continues to rise. In 2022, the total domestic chlorogenic acid output will exceed 3,500 tons.

In addition to technology, raw materials are also an important factor affecting the development of the chlorogenic acid industry. The main raw materials of chlorogenic acid are natural plants such as Eucommia ulmoides and honeysuckle. Taking Eucommia ulmoides as an example, my country currently has a wide planting area and high output of Eucommia ulmoides. In 2022, domestic Eucommia ulmoides production will be about 300,000 tons. The sufficient supply of raw materials has created favorable conditions for the development of the chlorogenic acid industry, and the industry has a good foundation for development. The main chlorogenic acid processing and production enterprises in my country include Jiangsu Kangyuan, Lunan Pharmaceutical, Shandong Hebentang, Tiancao Biotechnology, Denuo Health, Yike Biotechnology, Ruifeng Pharmaceutical, Cuiyuan Biotechnology, etc.

Industry analysts said that chlorogenic acid is an important pharmaceutical intermediate with good pharmacological effects. The current market is based on its advantages. A variety of drugs have been developed for its role. In the future, as domestic medical research continues to deepen, the types of drugs using chlorogenic acid as raw materials are expected to continue to increase, and the market demand is broad. At present, my country’s chlorogenic acid is mainly produced through extraction methods. After continuous development, a number of leading chlorogenic acid extraction companies have emerged in China, and leading companies are accelerating their deployment in the field of high-purity chlorogenic acid production, and the industry has good development prospects.
