Products Description
Yucca Extract (丝兰提取物)
Specification: 30%-80% saponins
Main Ingredients: Saponins
Product Overview: Yucca extract is primarily derived from Yucca plants, with key active ingredients including saponins, polyphenols, and polysaccharides. Saponins are among its most important active components, offering antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antiviral properties.
Yucca (Yucca spp.) is native to arid regions of the Americas and belongs to the Agavaceae family. It has distinctive sword-shaped leaves arranged in a rosette pattern. The leaves contain saponins, glycosides with surfactant properties that produce foam, helping deter pests and diseases.
Yucca's deep root system allows it to access water in dry conditions, contributing to soil stability. Its flowers are typically white or greenish-pink, bell-shaped, and clustered on a stalk. The fruit is a capsule containing black seeds.
Applications of Yucca Extract:
Improves nutrient absorption: Enhances apparent digestibility of energy, crude protein, and fat in animal feed.
Antioxidant effects: Saponins boost total antioxidant capacity (T-AOC) and reduce malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, mitigating oxidative stress.
Regulates gut microbiota: Increases microbial diversity and richness in feces, improving gut microbiome structure.
Reduces ammonia emissions: Saponins bind with ammonia, improving nitrogen metabolism and lowering ammonia emissions.
Promotes animal health: Widely used in animal production to enhance overall health, including reproductive performance and feed efficiency.
