Introduction

Lyophilized royal jelly powder is a processed form of royal jelly, which is a secretion produced by honeybees. It is commonly used for its potential health benefits and applications in various industries such as dietary supplements, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. The lyophilization process preserves the nutritional content while providing a more stable and convenient form.

Composition and Nutritional Value

Royal jelly is rich in proteins, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and fatty acids. The lyophilization process retains most of these nutrients. Typically, royal jelly contains approximately 12% protein, 5-6% lipids, and 12-15% carbohydrates. It is a significant source of vitamins B5, B6, and C, and minerals like potassium, calcium, and magnesium. The 10-Hydroxy-2-decenoic acid (10-HDA) is a unique fatty acid found only in royal jelly, which is often used as a marker for quality and potency.

Applications of Lyophilized Royal Jelly Powder

Dietary Supplements

As a dietary supplement, lyophilized royal jelly powder is lauded for its potential to boost energy, support the immune system, and improve skin health. It is often encapsulated for ease of use and standardized to maintain a consistent level of 10-HDA, typically around 1.4% or higher.

Cosmetics and Skincare

In the cosmetics industry, royal jelly powder is valued for its anti-aging properties, skin hydration capabilities, and potential to promote collagen production. It is frequently included in creams, lotions, and serums. The concentration of royal jelly in these products can range from 0.1% to 5%, depending on the intended use and formulation.

Pharmaceuticals

Royal jelly powder's potential health benefits have drawn interest in the pharmaceutical industry, particularly its purported anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial effects. Research continues into its role in managing conditions such as hyperlipidemia and hypertension, with clinical trials often examining dosages between 300 to 6,000 mg per day.
