Hippophae rhamnoides

Hippophae rhamnoides (sea buckthorn) is a deciduous shrubby plant of Hippophae in the Elaeagnaceae. Sea buckthorn is a typical medicine and food plant in addition to its ecological conservation role. It has been reported to have multiple effects such as lowering blood pressure, lowering cholesterol, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and relieving angina attacks.

Lifeasible can provide you with a wide range of services for identifying and screening excellent germplasm resources and preparing and testing active ingredients based on various technologies for sea buckthorn. We can also provide systematic support for downstream services, including food and nutraceutical development.

What We Offer

Preparation, quality evaluation, and activity analysis of sea buckthorn seed oil nanoemulsion

Sea buckthorn seed oil can be used to prepare functional oil products or added as a health factor to functional foods to meet the health needs of various special populations. We can provide you with various services, such as preparation of sea buckthorn seed oil nanoemulsion, quality evaluation, and activity analysis, to help you conduct research on sea buckthorn and the development of downstream products.

• Preparation of sea buckthornseed oil nanoemulsion

• Quality evaluation of sea buckthorn seed oil nanoemulsion

Bioactive ingredient analysis

• Polyphenol extraction

We can help you explore the optimal process parameters for polyphenol extraction from sea buckthorn by ultrasonic-assisted method using response surface design of experiments, which can help you further expand the exploitation of sea buckthorn.

• Preparation, structural characterization, and activity analysis of polysaccharides

Sea buckthorn polysaccharides (SBPs) are the main active components of sea buckthorn. We can help you extract SBPs by hot water leaching, solvent method, enzyme method, ultrasonic-assisted extraction method, microwave-assisted extraction method, flash extraction method, etc. Different extraction methods affect the yield, structural characteristics, and biological activities of polysaccharides. Therefore, we will use different methods or combinations of techniques according to your research or production needs.

For the separation and purification of SBPs, we also provide a variety of methods. For small molecules in crude polysaccharides, we often use multiple alcohol precipitation to remove them; for proteins, we use the Sevag method and enzyme method to remove them; for decolorization, we often use activated charcoal adsorption and H₂O₂ oxidation method. For the graded purification of SBPs, we often use stepwise precipitation, metal complex method, molecular sieve chromatography, ion exchange chromatography, column chromatography, etc., which can help you to get a single component with higher purity.

• Sea buckthorn oil extraction and lipid analysis

We can provide response surface methodology to help you optimize your existing sea buckthorn oil extraction process. In addition, we can analyze the lipid profile of sea buckthorn oil by ultra performance liquid chromatography high-resolution mass spectrometry (UPLC-HRMS) to analyze the differences in lipid composition and content of sea buckthorn oil, which will help you to develop sea buckthorn oil further.

• Organic acid extraction and composition analysis

We provide potentiometric titration, capillary electrophoresis, aqueous extraction, ultrasonic extraction, microwave extraction, and HPLC for extracting organic acids from sea buckthorn. We will also provide you with the service of analyzing the type and content of organic acids.

Sea buckthorn is rich in biologically active substances that provide a range of physiological functions and have a broad development prospect in food, skin care products, and medicine. Lifeasible can provide you with analytical, testing, and identification services covering the whole process of sea buckthorn research. Please feel free to contact us for more information.
