Ingredient Information: Gac Fruit Extract Powder is derived from the aril (seed membrane) of Gac fruit (Momordica cochinchinensis), a Southeast Asian vine, through solvent extraction, cold-pressing, or spray-drying after juicing. Composed primarily of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, it is rich in carotenoids (lycopene up to 200 times higher than tomatoes, beta-carotene 10-54 times higher than carrots), zeaxanthin, flavonoids, and vitamin E. It is processed into a stable, water-dispersible powder, valued for its antioxidant properties and vibrant color.

Uses: Widely used in dietary supplements for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, supporting eye health, skin health, and cancer prevention, with studies showing lycopene and beta-carotene inhibiting cancer cell proliferation (e.g., melanoma). It is also employed in food as a natural colorant and nutrient enhancer in beverages, snacks, and desserts, and in cosmetics for its skin-whitening and anti-aging properties due to melanin inhibition. Additionally, it finds application in research for studying carotenoid bioavailability and as a functional ingredient in nutraceuticals.
