Royal jelly powder: how does it work?

Royal jelly is a product obtained from bees and a supplement with high nutritional value. If royal jelly can be used correctly, it can achieve good skin care results. For example, using royal jelly and glycerin can be very good for acne. In addition, royal jelly can also be used for wrinkle removal, hair care, skin care.

Royal jelly freeze-dried powder is obtained by drying the refrigerated royal jelly at low temperature in a vacuum. Usually, 3 kg of refrigerated royal jelly is used to make 1 kg of royal jelly freeze-dried powder. The royal jelly acid in the 1 kg of royal jelly dry powder made at this time The content of royal jelly is 3 times that of 1 kg of refrigerated royal jelly, because royal jelly acid will not be lost during processing.

Royal jelly freeze-dried powder is under the premise of low temperature vacuum, the water in the royal jelly is sublimated and dispersed from the royal jelly, and the royal jelly that has lost moisture is destroyed and made into dry powder. and transportation.

Royal jelly powder production process

1. Principle

The three states of water are determined by pressure and temperature. According to the change of pressure and temperature of ice, water and water vapor, a three-phase relationship of water can be formed. According to this three-phase relationship, the temperature of the equilibrium point where ice, water and gas can exist at the same time is 0.01℃, and the pressure is 4.6mmHg . The pressure of the coexistence line where ice and water vapor coexist is 4.6 mmHg or less. That is to say, under this pressure, water only exists in two forms, solid and gaseous, and there is no liquid state.

At this time, even if the ice is heated, the ice will not melt into water, but can only be directly sublimated into water vapor. According to this characteristic, the royal jelly is quickly frozen at low temperature, and then the sublimation heat is provided under the premise of a vacuum whose pressure is less than 4.6mmHg, so that the delicate ice crystals in the royal jelly are directly sublimated into water vapor and escape. Because the drying of royal jelly is under the premise of low temperature, it is not easy to produce bubbles, oxidation, concentration and a lot of damage to biologically active materials during the drying process, thus ensuring the high quality of the product.

2. Manufacturing processes

Royal jelly→add water→mix well→filter→packing→freezing→Dry powder product→encapsulation→destroy→vacuum evaporation.

(1) Add the same amount of distilled water to the royal jelly, stir well, and then filter with 100-mesh nylon gauze to remove impurities.

(2) Put the filtered royal jelly into the tray of the vacuum freeze-drying machine, the thickness of the royal jelly is 8-10mm, or put it into the ampoules on the ampoule rack, and put it into the freeze-drying room without sealing for the time being.

(3) Vacuum low-temperature drying: Start the vacuum freeze dryer, reduce the temperature of the vacuum drying chamber to -40°C, and quickly freeze the royal jelly, and then control the vacuum degree to about 10mmHg, so that the temperature of the royal jelly is maintained at around -25°C, The temperature of the condenser is controlled at around -50°C, forming a large vapor pressure difference and promoting water vapor displacement. 

At the same time, it heats the components of the freeze-drying chamber and transfers it to the feeding tray to enhance the sublimation of water. The heat of sublimation per kg of ice is 672 kcal. The heat energy of 1 kWh of electricity is 860 kcal, so 1 kWh of electricity can be enough to sublime 1kg of water. After vacuum low-temperature drying for about 12 hours, the moisture in the royal jelly has dropped to about 10%. At this time, it has begun to reach the goal of drying, but it cannot survive for a long time and must be dried continuously.

At this time, the temperature of the drying room can be increased to 30 °C, the highest is not higher than 40 °C, for 4 to 5 hours, the moisture can evaporate quickly, and the moisture content of the royal jelly can be reduced to about 2%, that is, the drying process is completed. The basis of whether the royal jelly is dry is: the dry powder of royal jelly and the shelf temperature that maintains a constant temperature or the vacuum degree of the pump group and the drying room are basically the same and can be maintained for a period of time.

Royal jelly lyophilized powder functions

Aids in lowering blood sugar:

This effect is mainly inferred from the insulin-like peptides it contains, and insulin-like peptides are specific drugs for the treatment of diabetes. Tests have shown that 10 grams of royal jelly and Lin Zhongling can be used to treat diabetes and insomnia.

Antioxidant efficacy:

This effect is a widely established effect of royal jelly, and it has a strong effect on cell repair and regeneration. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) detected in royal jelly is an important component of antioxidants.

Lower blood lipids:

Royal jelly contains more than 10 kinds of essential vitamins, which can balance fat metabolism and sugar metabolism, and can reduce hyperlipidemia and hyperglycemia in obese people. It is very suitable for obese diabetic patients.

Control vasodilation and lower blood pressure:

This conclusion comes from its 10-hydroxy-decenoic acid (royal jelly acid) and royal jelly important protein-1.

Protect the liver:

Royal jelly can not only kill hepatitis virus, but also inhibit virus replication in liver cells. Flavonoids and other substances in propolis can reduce transaminase, promote liver cell regeneration, and prevent cirrhosis of the liver. Such patients are not suitable to take alcohol-containing propolis products, but should take alcohol-free propolis soft capsules or Concentrate.

Antibacterial anti-inflammatory:

Royal jelly is antibacterial and has healing properties for infected wounds. The test also commented that the antibacterial spectrum of royal jelly is Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus, Proteus, Bacillus subtilis, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Trichophyton astrocytophytes and Epidermophyton. The antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects of royal jelly are related to pH. When the pH is 4.5, the antibacterial activity is the strongest, when the pH is 7, the antibacterial activity is weakened, and when the pH is 8, the antibacterial activity dissipates. The pH of royal jelly is between 3.5 and 4.5, so it has the strongest antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties in its natural state.

Beauty method:

Wash your face thoroughly first, apply a small amount of royal jelly with your fingers evenly on your face, and gently massage your face for two or three minutes. After 10 minutes, your face will start to feel tight. After 20 minutes, it will be completely dry. After you touch it with your hands and think it does not stick to your hands, rinse it off with clean water, and then apply some skin cream. Because it is for external use, the nutrients contained in it may not be completely absorbed by the skin, so from an economical perspective, the beauty cost of using summer and autumn pulp is small.
