The Technical Data Sheet (TDS) of Sugarcane Extract Sugarcane Polyphenols Powder

Regulatory Status of Sugarcane Extract Stachyose Sugarcane Polyphenols

United States (FDA)

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) panel found Sugarcane Extract safe for use in cosmetics at current concentrations.

The FDA issued guidance stating sweeteners from sugarcane shouldn’t be called “evaporated cane juice”, recommending “dried cane syrup” instead, to avoid suggesting they’re fruit/vegetable juice. Sugarcane polyphenols are considered Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) for food use.

European Union (EU)

Sugarcane polyphenols were approved as food raw materials in 2012. The EU encourages research into natural ingredients as replacements for synthetic additives.

Sugarcane Extract Sugarcane Polyphenols Botanical Source

We choose the sugarcane tops as our sugarcane polyphenols powder source. Sugarcane tops are the area around the growing points of sugarcane. While sugarcane stems, leaves, and bagasse also contain abundant polyphenolic substances, the sugarcane tops have higher extraction yield and active ingredient content, thus making them recognized as the optimal part for extracting sugarcane polyphenols.

Sugarcane Extract Sugarcane Polyphenols Manufacturer Process Flow Chart

• We use sugarcane as the raw material, remove excess sugar and salt through pressing, filtration, and extraction processes, ultimately yielding sugarcane molasses.
• Subsequently, we use water and ethanol as extraction solvents. To avoid solvent residue issues, we don’t use organic synthetic solvents such as petroleum ether, ethyl acetate, and acetone.
• Finally, through processes including filtration, concentration, and drying, powdered sugarcane polyphenol products are obtained.

The Benefits of Sugarcane Extract

Sugarcane extract (Saccharum Officinarum) is rich in alpha-hydroxy acids (like glycolic acid), vitamins, minerals, polyphenols, and antioxidants.

Sugarcane Extract for Skin

Sugarcane extract (Saccharum Officinarum) can be a skincare ingredient because of its natural source of glycolic acid (an AHA). Glycolic acid can gently exfoliate dead cells, promote renewal, smooth texture, and boost collagen for brighter, softer, more radiant skin.

Sugarcane Extract for Hair

Sugarcane extract can be a natural hair care ingredient for hydrating, smoothing, and strengthening hair, thanks to its vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and natural sugars. These things can moisturize, reduce frizz, and nourish the scalp for healthier growth.
 
The Benefits of Sugarcane Extract Sugarcane Polyphenols

Sugarcane polyphenols (saccharum officinarum extract) are a subset of polyphenols. As a natural multifunctional nutrient, they comprehensively safeguard human health through multiple mechanisms such as antioxidation, anti-inflammation, and metabolic regulation.

Antioxidant Effect

• The antioxidant activity index of sugarcane polyphenols : as high as 26,400 (11 times that of blueberries and 21 times that of spinach).
• Small-molecule polyphenols: they can easily penetrate cell membranes, maintain high bioactivity inside cells, and provide comprehensive antioxidant protection.

Anti-inflammatory Effect

• Inhibiting key inflammatory pathways such as NF-κB and MAPK to block the transmission of inflammatory signals, and bidirectionally regulating inflammatory factors.
• Compared with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), sugarcane polyphenols are safer. They won’t cause gastrointestinal irritation or liver and kidney burden. They also have stronger targeting for respiratory mucosal inflammation and metabolic inflammation induced by high sugar and high fat, while synergistically improving metabolic issues like insulin resistance.

Glucose-regulating Effect

One of the core characteristics of sugarcane polyphenols lies in their blood glucose-regulating effect. As a natural food ingredient, they achieve this effect through a full-chain mechanism: blocking carbohydrate breakdown, reducing glucose absorption, improving insulin sensitivity, and protecting pancreatic β-cells. Specifically, they can inhibit the activity of α-glucosidase and α-amylase to slow down the breakdown of carbohydrates into glucose; at the same time, they block glucose transporters such as GLUT2 and SGLT1 in the intestines, reducing glucose absorption rate by 20%-30%. On this basis, they can also increase insulin sensitivity by 18%-25% by activating the insulin receptor signaling pathway, and protect pancreatic β-cells through antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. This not only inhibits postprandial blood glucose spikes in the short term but also improves metabolic disorders in the long term.

Liver-protecting Effect

As a natural food ingredient, sugarcane polyphenols exert their effects through a synergistic mechanism of “protecting cells via anti-oxidative stress, reducing damage via anti-inflammation, and aiding metabolic detoxification”: they can not only directly scavenge free radicals in the liver, but also activate the Nrf2 pathway to enhance the liver cells’ intrinsic antioxidant defense and reduce oxidative damage. Meanwhile, they inhibit the NF-kB pathway to alleviate chronic inflammation in the liver, additionally assist in regulating blood lipids, promote the metabolism of harmful substances, and reduce the indirect burden of toxins on the liver by improving the intestinal flora—exerting targeted improvements on metabolic or chemical liver damage caused by a high-fat diet or alcohol consumption.

Compared with traditional liver-protecting ingredients, sugarcane polyphenols are safer (without imposing additional burden on the liver and kidneys) and can also synergistically regulate blood glucose and lipids to meet multiple health needs. Currently, they are used in functional foods (such as liver-protecting tea and breakfast cereals) for people who need daily liver care, as well as in supplements for people with mild fatty liver.

The Applications of Sugarcane Extract Sugarcane Polyphenols Powder

Sugarcane polyphenol powder is mainly used in functional foods and beverages. As a low-GI (Glycemic Index) ingredient, it helps lower postprandial blood glucose and supports weight management, and is added to solid beverages, tablet candies, sports drinks, and snacks. Meanwhile, due to its high antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, it is also applied in the healthcare product sector (such as anti-glycation tablets and oral beauty drinks) and the cosmetics industry, where it can serve as an antioxidant or natural preservative. It boasts the advantages of being mildly sweet without astringency, heat-resistant, and acid-alkali resistant, which can improve the taste and functionality of products and meet the demands of healthy consumption.

The Side Effects of Sugarcane Extract Sugarcane Polyphenols

Sugarcane polyphenols are natural active saccharum officinarum extract. Moderate intake (100-1000mg per day) offers certain benefits to the human body, but excessive or improper use may pose potential hazards.

Gastrointestinal discomfort

As a type of polyphenolic substance, excessive intake of sugarcane polyphenols may irritate the gastrointestinal mucosa, leading to symptoms such as nausea, abdominal distension, and diarrhea. This is especially true for people with weak gastrointestinal function (e.g., patients with gastritis or irritable bowel syndrome [IBS]), who may experience exacerbated discomfort.

Allergic risk

Sugarcane polyphenols may trigger allergic reactions, particularly in individuals allergic to sugarcane or related plants (such as wheat and barley). Mild symptoms include skin itching and redness, while severe cases may involve difficulty breathing or anaphylactic shock, which require immediate medical attention.

Contraindicated Populations

Globally at present, no authoritative organizations have established the “Recommended Intake (RI)” or “Upper Safety Limit (USL)” of sugarcane polyphenols specifically for pregnant women.

Where Can You BUY Sugarcane Extract Sugarcane Polyphenols?

As a professional manufacturer, we select sugarcane tops—where polyphenols are most concentrated during the sugarcane growth cycle—and adopts a low-temperature targeted extraction process, which maximizes the retention of active ingredients and avoids the loss of activity caused by high-temperature processing.

FAQ

1. Is sugarcane good for the gut?

Sugarcane juice benefits in improving digestion as it is rich in soluble fiber, which aids digestion by promoting bowel regularity and preventing constipation. The alkaline nature of sugarcane juice aids in balancing the pH levels in your stomach.

2. What is the highest polyphenol food?

The highest polyphenol food is cloves, with an exceptionally high concentration of about 15,188 mg per 100g, followed by other dried herbs and spices like peppermint and star anise, and then rich sources like cocoa powder, dark chocolate, and certain berries.
