Goji ( Wolfberry) Background Information

Gogi also called wolfberry ( latin name : Lycium barbarum ) is a plant of Solanaceae and Lycium. Wolfberry is a general designation of wolfberry species, such as commercial wolfberry, plant Ningxia wolfberry and Chinese wolfberry. Most of the wolfberry fruits that people eat and use for medicine are “wolfberry” of Ningxia wolfberry, and Ningxia wolfberry is the only variety that has been included in the 2010 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia.Ningxia wolfberry has the largest cultivated area in China, mainly distributed in Northwest China. Chinese wolfberry and its varieties are common in other areas. Ningxia Zhongning wolfberry was awarded the National Climate mark of agricultural products climate quality If “wolfberry” refers to the commodity “wolfberry”, it basically refers to the dried and mature fruit from Ningxia wolfberry; if “wolfberry” refers to the wild wolfberry plants in areas other than the northwest, it is basically the plant wolfberry or northern wolfberry.

Lycium is a spiny plant from the Greek lykion. It was found in Lycia, an ancient city in northwest Turkey. There are mainly two kinds of wolfberry:Ningxia wolfberry (Lycium barbarum L.) is Latin for “medicinal.”. L. is the abbreviation of Carl von Linn é.Chinese wolfberry(Lycium chinense Mill.) the species addition word chinense refers to the species found in China, the earliest found in Taiwan, and the most common Lycium barbarum in China as a species. (mill. For the nominees).

Goji (Lycium barbarum) is rich in vitamin B1, B2, C, calcium, phosphorus, iron and a variety of amino acids. It can reduce blood sugar and cholesterol, expand blood vessels and reduce blood pressure. At the same time, Lycium barbarum has three meridians, namely, Gan Ping, Gui Fei, Gan and Shen. It is famous for its nourishing liver and kidney, benefiting essence and eyesight. Therefore, as a health food, Lycium barbarum has been widely used. It has become a necessary dual-use product of medicine and food, which is anti fatigue, anti-aging, nutrition and health care, and can be taken for a long time Nutrition and health care also think that Lycium barbarum is rich in nutrition, generally containing 22% ~ 52% sugar, 13 ~ 21% protein, 8% ~ 14% crude fat, 3.96mg of carotene (vitamin A), 0.23mg of thiamine (vitamin B1), 0.33mg of riboflavin (vitamin B2), 3.0mg of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), 17mg of nicotinic acid, 150mg of calcium, 6.7mg of phosphorus, 3.4mg of iron, linoleic acid, glycosides and amines per 100g of Lycium barbarum barbarum and so on.

Nutrition of Goji Berry Powder

Goji famous for its high essential nutrients, vitamins, minerals. And red goji berries are concentrated sources of carotenoids, calories, vitamins, and minerals. Antioxidant carotenoids and flavonoids found abundantly in goji berries. β -carotene, zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin, and lutein play a vital role in protecting the skin and mucosa from free radical injury.Certain flavonoids found in goji berries are quercetin, kaempferol, myricetin, hesperidin and rutin. They act as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory, and anti-cancer agents.Zeaxanthin is a natural antioxidant which has UV (ultra-violet) rays filtering actions in the macula lutea portion of the retina in the eyes. Thus, it may offer protection from “age-related macular disease” (ARMD) in the elderly.Fresh, as well as, dried goji are excellent sources of vitamin-A. 100 g of dried berries carry astoundingly 26,822 IU of vitamin-A. Vitamin-A is a powerful natural anti-oxidant and is required by the body for maintaining the integrity of skin and mucosa. It is also an essential vitamin for good vision. Research studies suggest that natural foods rich in this vitamin may help the human body protect against lung and oral cavity cancers.Vitamin C is another natural anti-oxidant found in right concentration in goji. 100 grams of dried goji composes 48.4 mg or 80% of daily required levels of this vitamin.Dried goji berries are an excellent source of calcium (190 mg or 19% of RDI), iron 6.80 mg/100 g of fruits (about 85% of RDI). Iron, being a component of hemoglobin inside the red blood cells, determines the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood. Calcium is an important mineral that is an essential constituent of bone and teeth and required by the body for muscle contraction, blood clotting, and nerve impulse conduction.Further, fresh as well as dry berries carry adequate daily recommended levels of the B-complex group of vitamins. Dried goji contains very good amounts of pyridoxine (vitamin B-6), thiamin niacin, pantothenic acid, and riboflavin. These vitamins are acting as cofactors help the human body metabolize carbohydrates, protein, and fats.

Physiological Efficacy of Freeze Dried Goji Berry Powder

Using the present medical theory and methods, the researchers have studied the extract of Lycium barbarum and its active components. By measuring the relevant physiological indexes, the effects of Lycium barbarum extract on enhancing immunity, reducing blood fat, anti fatty liver, anti-tumor, anti-aging, anti stress, 2on hematopoietic system, estrogen like effect, on blood pressure, anti mutation and so on have been evaluated.

1 Anti-aging effect of Lycium barbarum

At present, aging theories include: poisoning theory, injury theory, immunity theory, endocrine decline theory, free radical theory, cross-linking theory, cell structure change and protein deformation theory, genetic theory, etc., among which free radical theory has always played an important role. The free radical theory of aging was put forward by Harman D in 1965. The theory is that the free radicals produced in the normal metabolism of the body cause the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids to superoxide, form lipofuscin, destroy cell membrane and other traditional Chinese medicine components, denature protein and enzyme, and accelerate aging. At the same time, there are various free radical scavengers (also known as antioxidants) in the body to eliminate free radicals. Both are in a dynamic balance, when free radicals produce too much or antioxidants too little, it will cause aging.

The high levels of lipofuscin and lipid peroxide reflect two important indexes of lipid peroxidation injury in cells. On the basis of these two indexes, Xu Chengshui used Lycium barbarum water extract to carry out experiments on American wild type Drosophila milanogdeter. They were divided into three groups: life test group, lipofuscin test group and lipid peroxide test group. According to the statistics of life span, the lipofuscin and lipid peroxide levels in salivary gland cells of Drosophila fed with LC me feed in the field were significantly reduced, which inhibited the production of reactive oxygen species, reduced the lipid peroxidation of unsaturated fatty acids in cell membrane, thus antagonized the cell peroxidation damage and protected the cells.

2 Immune regulation and antitumor

Lu Gan et al. Studied the inhibitory effect of lbp3p on transplanted S180 sarcoma in mice. They fed the mice 5mg / kg, 10mg / kg and 20mg / kg for 10 days respectively. It was found that lbp3p dose was not a linear way for the phagocytosis of transplanted tumor and macrophage, the increment of spleen lymphocyte, the expression of T lymphocyte (CTL), interleukin-2 (IL-2) gene and lipid peroxidation The dosage of 10mg / kg is more effective than that of 5 and 20mg / kg. The results showed that lbp3p had a significant effect on the weight of tumor and the immunity of human body.

3. Reduce blood lipid and blood sugar

Qiong Luo et al. Continuously fed alloxan diabetic or hyperlipidemic rabbits with Lycium barbarum water decoction, Lycium barbarum polysaccharide extract and purified Lycium barbarum polysaccharide respectively, and found that these three Lycium barbarum extracts significantly reduced blood glucose, total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) concentrations, and at the same time, after significantly improving the level of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), they passed 10 days All of them showed strong hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects. It was found that the purified Lycium barbarum polysaccharide had significantly higher hypoglycemic effect than that of Decoction and crude Lycium barbarum, but its hypoglycemic effect seemed to be weak.

4  Anti mutation

Li Boling et al. Used micronucleus test, Ames test and DNA repair test to evaluate the antimutagenic effect of Lycium barbarum at different concentrations. It was found that the anti mutation effect of lbpc increased from weak to strong after adding different concentrations of lbpc. Lycium barbarum water extract has the action of reducing blood pressure, inhibiting heart and stimulating intestine. Lycium barbarum water extract can accelerate contraction frequency and increase tension of rabbit uterus in vitro. In addition, Lycium barbarum extract can promote the growth and acid production of Lactobacillus.
