Sugarcane Extract Sugarcane Polyphenols Botanical Source

Sugarcane polyphenols are mainly extracted from the sugarcane tops—the area around the growing points of sugarcane. This part is polyphenol-enriched, with particularly high concentrations in the region surrounding the growing points. While sugarcane stems, leaves, and bagasse also contain abundant polyphenolic substances, the sugarcane tops have higher extraction yield and active ingredient content, thus making them recognized as the optimal part for extracting sugarcane polyphenols.

Sugarcane Extract Sugarcane Polyphenols Manufacturer Process Flow Chart

• Using sugarcane as the raw material, excess sugar and salt are removed through pressing, filtration, and extraction processes, ultimately yielding sugarcane molasses.
• Subsequently, water and ethanol are used as extraction solvents. Organic synthetic solvents such as petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, and acetone are not employed to avoid solvent residue issues.
• Finally, through processes including filtration, concentration, and drying, powdered sugarcane polyphenol products are obtained.

The Main Effects of Sugarcane Extract Sugarcane Polyphenols

Sugarcane polyphenols are a subset of polyphenols. As a natural multifunctional nutrient, they comprehensively safeguard human health through multiple mechanisms such as antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and metabolic regulation.

Antioxidant Effect

The antioxidant efficacy of sugarcane polyphenols is mainly reflected in their strong free radical scavenging capacity and antioxidant activity. Studies have shown that the antioxidant activity index of sugarcane polyphenols is as high as 26,400—11 times that of blueberries and 21 times that of spinach—exhibiting extremely potent antioxidant activity.

This property enables sugarcane polyphenols to effectively scavenge free radicals in cells, slow down cellular aging, and prevent chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases and cancer. Furthermore, sugarcane polyphenols possess a cell-protective function: their small-molecule polyphenols can easily penetrate cell membranes, maintain high bioactivity inside cells, and provide comprehensive antioxidant protection.

Anti-inflammatory Effect

The anti-inflammatory function of sugarcane polyphenols is one of their core health values. As a natural food ingredient, they exert anti-inflammatory effects by inhibiting key inflammatory pathways such as NF-κB and MAPK to block the transmission of inflammatory signals, and by bidirectionally regulating inflammatory factors: they not only reduce pro-inflammatory factors such as IL-6 and TNF-α, but also increase anti-inflammatory factors such as IL-10—for instance, they can lower the IL-6 level in children with upper respiratory tract infections by 42% within 24 hours. Meanwhile, they also synergize with antioxidant effects to repair inflammatory damage, reduce mucosal destruction and alleviate tissue oxidative stress.

Compared with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), sugarcane polyphenols are safer, causing no gastrointestinal irritation or liver and kidney burden. They also have stronger targeting for respiratory mucosal inflammation and metabolic inflammation induced by high sugar and high fat, while synergistically improving metabolic issues like insulin resistance. Currently, they are widely applied in functional foods (such as throat-soothing beverages and low-GI meal replacements) designed for people with sensitive respiratory systems and patients with metabolic syndrome, as well as in daily anti-inflammatory health supplements.

Glucose-regulating Effect

One of the core characteristics of sugarcane polyphenols lies in their blood glucose-regulating effect. As a natural food ingredient, they achieve this effect through a full-chain mechanism: blocking carbohydrate breakdown, reducing glucose absorption, improving insulin sensitivity, and protecting pancreatic β-cells. Specifically, they can inhibit the activity of α-glucosidase and α-amylase to slow down the breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose; at the same time, they block glucose transporters such as GLUT2 and SGLT1 in the intestines, reducing glucose absorption rate by 20%-30%. On this basis, they can also increase insulin sensitivity by 18%-25% by activating the insulin receptor signaling pathway, and protect pancreatic β-cells through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. This not only inhibits postprandial blood glucose spikes in the short term but also improves metabolic disorders in the long term.

Liver-protecting Effect

As a natural food ingredient, sugarcane polyphenols exert their effects through a synergistic mechanism of “protecting cells via anti-oxidative stress, reducing damage via anti-inflammation, and aiding metabolic detoxification”: they can not only directly scavenge free radicals in the liver, but also activate the Nrf2 pathway to enhance the liver cells’ intrinsic antioxidant defense and reduce oxidative damage. Meanwhile, they inhibit the NF-kB pathway to alleviate chronic inflammation in the liver, additionally assist in regulating blood lipids, promote the metabolism of harmful substances, and reduce the indirect burden of toxins on the liver by improving the intestinal flora—exerting targeted improvements on metabolic or chemical liver damage caused by a high-fat diet or alcohol consumption.

Compared with traditional liver-protecting ingredients, sugarcane polyphenols are safer (without imposing additional burden on the liver and kidneys) and can also synergistically regulate blood glucose and lipids to meet multiple health needs. Currently, they are used in functional foods (such as liver-protecting tea and breakfast cereals) for people who need daily liver care, as well as in supplements for people with mild fatty liver.

The Applications of Sugarcane Extract Sugarcane Polyphenols Powder

Sugarcane polyphenol powder is mainly used in functional foods and beverages. As a low-GI (Glycemic Index) ingredient, it helps lower postprandial blood glucose and supports weight management, and is added to solid beverages, tablet candies, sports drinks, and snacks. Meanwhile, due to its high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it is also applied in the healthcare product sector (such as anti-glycation tablets and oral beauty drinks) and the cosmetics industry, where it can serve as an antioxidant or natural preservative. It boasts the advantages of being mildly sweet without astringency, heat-resistant, and acid-alkali resistant, which can improve the taste and functionality of products and meet the demands of healthy consumption.

The Side Effects of Sugarcane Extract Sugarcane Polyphenols

Sugarcane polyphenols are natural active ingredients extracted from sugarcane. Moderate intake offers certain benefits to the human body, but excessive or improper use may pose potential hazards.

Gastrointestinal discomfort

As a type of polyphenolic substance, excessive intake of sugarcane polyphenols may irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, leading to symptoms such as nausea, abdominal distension, and diarrhea. This is especially true for people with weak gastrointestinal function (e.g., patients with gastritis or irritable bowel syndrome [IBS]), who may experience exacerbated discomfort.

Allergic risk

Sugarcane polyphenols may trigger allergic reactions, particularly in individuals allergic to sugarcane or related plants (such as wheat and barley). Mild symptoms include skin itching and redness, while severe cases may involve difficulty breathing or anaphylactic shock, which require immediate medical attention.

Where Can You BUY Sugarcane Extract Sugarcane Polyphenols?
