Introduction to the ingredients in lemon extract powder
Lemon extract powder is mainly extracted from lemons through multiple processes. It maintains the original flavor of lemon to a large extent, and contains a variety of vitamins and acids, and has the effects of anti-scurvy and preventing colds. It is rich in many nutrients such as vitamin C, citric acid, vitamin B1 and B2.
1. Vitamin C
Vitamin C can maintain the production of various tissues and intercellular substance in the human body and maintain their normal physiological functions. Vitamin C is needed to protect the parent material, adhesive and gelatinous material in the human body. When vitamin C is lacking, the interstitium between cells—the jelly—will also decrease. In this way, the cell tissue will become fragile and lose the ability to resist external forces. The human body is prone to scurvy. It has more uses, such as preventing colds, stimulating hematopoiesis, and anti-cancer.
2. Citric acid
It is an important organic acid that can enhance the normal metabolism in the body. The proper dosage is not harmful to the human body. Adding citric acid to certain foods can improve the taste of foods and promote appetite.
3. Vitamin B1
It can maintain the balance of oxidative metabolism in the brain and treat beriberi. Vitamin B1 is a water-soluble vitamin. It is one of the components of the B vitamins. It is the first vitamin to be found to be synthesized by fungi, microorganisms and plants. Animals and humans can only obtain it from food.
4. Vitamin B2
Its efficacy and role are to prevent and treat vitamin B2 deficiency, such as angular cheilitis, chapped lips, glossitis, scrotum, conjunctivitis, seborrheic dermatitis, etc.
