overview
PrinsepiautilisRoyle (PrinsepiautilisRoyle), is the rose family (Rosaecae), Prinsepia genus (Prinsepia) plant total flower flat core fruit, also known as green thorn tip, beater fruit, Anas (Naxi language), Qingna (Mosuo language), out naked (Yi). The fruit is mainly distributed in Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan, Taiwan, Tibet and other provinces and regions. In Yunnan Province, Lijiang region, Dali Prefecture and Deqen Prefecture are the main producing areas. It grows on hillsides, wastelands, stream sides or bushes at an altitude of 1000-3000m. At present, there are many researches on the chemical composition and pharmacological action of Chinese prickly thorn fruit. There are only reports abroad about the isolation and identification of monomer compounds from P. acanthophylla. For example, prinsepiol(prinsepiol) was obtained from the stem of P. acanthophylla. And L-epicatechin(L-epicatechin) and beta-sitosteryl-beta-glucoside (beta-sitoster-beta-glucoside). However, the study on the material basis and the structure-activity relationship of the active components of Acanthophyllum chinensis needs to be further carried out.
Pharmacological effect
Nutritional concepts focus on the balance between various fatty acids. The fatty acid composition ratio in the oil is similar to the human fatty acid structure ratio of 1∶1∶1, which can be well absorbed and utilized by the human body. It is praised by nutritionists as "edible cosmetics" and "a new source of human supplement essential fatty acid Chemicalbook". Vitamins, trace elements and amino acids are complete, can balance the deficiencies in the diet, to provide essential nutrition for the human body. This also provides a scientific basis for Naxi people in Lijiang area to eat green prickly nut oil since ancient times. In order to obtain the best preservation conditions, the study found that the peroxidation rate of the oil accelerated with the time, and it should be stored in a dry place. At the same time, adding 50% vitamin E can slow down the peroxidation rate and prolong the preservation time.
application
Green thorn fruit oil has a long history of medicinal use. It is the first time in the world that green prickly nut oil has been made from green prickly nut to be used directly for health and food. The Mosuo people regard green prickly nut as a sacred object to worship, and call green prickly nut oil "green na Manan" or "green na oil", reputing it as "medicine for all diseases", believing that long-term consumption of green prickly nut oil can bring them health, longevity and beauty. Mosuo women use green thorn fruit oil as a necessity for skin care and hair care. They wipe their hands and face and dip a comb into their hair to prevent the skin from being exposed to the sun, dry and wrinkled, and keep the skin soft and tender and the hair black and bright without breaking or hair loss. Green thorn fruit oil is also widely used to treat skin burns and ulcerations. The Bai people pick the tips of young leaves in spring and summer, and the fruits at the end of autumn. Tender leaves slightly bitter, slightly cold, clearing heat and detoxifying, removing stasis and eliminating carbuncles, used for moist heat mouth sore, sore throat, hemorrhoids, bone fracture; Fruit for neurasthenia. Folk custom with young leaf tip to make pickled vegetables, often eat with wind wet pain effect. Pumi people use the fruit and pick it in autumn. Attack poison, remove blood stasis, promote blood circulation, for rheumatism, bruising, fracture, sprain, all boils and sores, yellow water ulcer, external use to treat swelling and pain.
