FRULIX AÇAÍ is obtained through an exclusive biotechnological process that mimics the natural ripening of the fruit. Using the fruits’ native enzymes ASSESSA transforms its pulp into a crystalline liquid with all the active ingredients of the fruit, in concentrations equivalent to those found in nature.
PRODUCED WITHOUT THE ADDITION OF SOLVENTS
The Açaí Tree (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) belongs to the Arecaceae family. Açaí pulp possesses incomparable nutritional properties and calorific value, and is rich in proteins (approximately 3.8% of dry pulp), fibre, lipids, vitamins A, C, B1, B2 and vitamin E, and important minerals such as calcium, phosphorous, iron and silicon, as well as having high levels of polyphenols of the anthocyanin family.
The polyphenols found in the açaí pulp have excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. Analysis of the fraction of tocopherols by HPLC showed high amounts of alpha-tocopherol compared to tocotrienols, demonstrating the presence of vitamin E in the pulp.
The antioxidant activity of FRULIX AÇAÍ was tested according to two different protocols: the Fenton protocol (inhibition of Deoxyribose oxidation) and the Xanthine Oxidase enzyme inhibition protocol.
Nutritional levels of proteins, minerals, and vitamins:
*Analysis performed after 4 months of shelf-life
The action of FRULIX AÇAÍ on human fibroblasts and keratinocytes showed a stimulating action, being capable of increasing viable cells by 20% compared to control.
Tests conducted with human monoclonal fibroblasts revealed that FRULIX AÇAÍ was capable of efficiently stimulating cell function, increasing collagen production by more than 490%.
Açaí is rich in vitamins, proteins, essential sugars, bioflavonoids, and mineral salts. FRULIX AÇAÍ has nutrient and protective properties, indicated for hair care products targeting nutrition, cleansing, and protection of weakened strands.
Its nutritional and toning properties also make FRULIX AÇAÍ recommended in skincare for nutritive and regenerative claims. High concentrations of soluble silicon play an essential role in structuring collagen fibers in the dermis and hair.
FRULIX AÇAÍ is compatible with most ingredients used in cosmetic formulations for skin and hair care. It can be incorporated cold directly into the aqueous phase and remains stable at temperatures up to 90 ºC and pH range 4.00 to 11.00.
