Properties and effects of bergamot extract:
Bergamot extract is a source of natural polyphenols (≥25%), which are compounds with high antioxidant potential. Polyphenols present in bergamot fruit demonstrate the ability to neutralize free radicals, which is significant in:
- protecting cells against oxidative stress,
- supporting metabolic processes,
- anti-aging formulations in cosmetics.
The use of water extraction technology allows for obtaining a component profile suitable for products of natural and “clean label” character.
Applications:
Bergamot extract is used in dietary supplements and nutraceuticals such as preparations supporting metabolism and lipid balance as well as products with antioxidant effects.
In the food industry, the ingredient is an additive to functional food and beverages.
In the cosmetics industry, bergamot extract can be found in anti-aging products, cosmetics for skin care exposed to oxidative stress, and formulations based on plant extracts.
