Acer truncatum seed oil is a new resource food, which is a vegetable oil processed from the seeds of China's endemic tree species, Acer truncatum.

Acer truncatum is a genus of maple, which is named after the ancient Chinese "golden ingots" in the shape of the samara. It is a unique species of China. The seeds of Acer truncatum are rich in oil and protein, non-toxic, can be fried, and taste like melon seeds. In many provinces and citizens in China, there is a habit of frying the seeds of Acer truncatum.

Flavonoids are effective anticancer drugs. Acer truncatum flavonoids and ingot maple oil, the oil has the function of regulating immunity. The occurrence and development of tumors have a great relationship with human immunity. Most of the tumor patients have imbalanced immune system, and their immune cells can not eliminate the autogenous cancer cells in the body, so that the cancer cells are lurking in the body for a long time without any restriction. The oil can increase the activity of NK cells and improve the cellular immunity and humoral immunity of the body. Double action to enhance the body's immunity.

People's aging is the process of oxidation. Therefore, taking some antioxidant substances can achieve the purpose of delaying aging. At present, most of the food industry and cosmetics industry use chemically synthesized antioxidants. Scientists screened more than 100 natural plants in Yunnan Province for antioxidant comparison experiments. The results showed that the antioxidant activity of Acer truncatum flavonoids was the best.

An amazing substance of nervonic acid was also found in the Acer truncatum seed oil. It is recognized by the world's scientists as the only double-effect miracle substance that can repair the nerve fibers of the damaged brain and promote the regeneration of nerve cells. Its lack will cause brain sequelae, senile dementia, cerebral palsy, brain atrophy, memory loss, insomnia and forgetfulness and other brain diseases. The human body itself is difficult to produce nerve acid, which can only be supplemented by in vitro intake.

At present, the nerve acid at home and abroad mainly comes from deep sea fish oil and shark brain. It is difficult to extract nerve acid from these raw materials, and the cost is high. The purity per kilogram is 98 million yuan. Therefore, the nerve acid gap in the domestic and foreign markets is very large. The total amount of unsaturated fatty acids in the Acer truncatum oil is over 90% and is rich in 5%-7% of nervonic acid. Acer truncatum has become an important new resource for the development of nervonic acid, which will fill the gap in the domestic and international nervous acid market.

The fatty acid composition of Acer truncatum oil is between peanut oil and rapeseed oil. The content of unsaturated fatty acids is 90%, and the content of essential fatty acids (linoleic acid) is higher than that of imported olive oil and palm oil.

More importantly, at present, the edible vegetable oils sold in the domestic market, including imported olive oil and palm oil, do not contain nervonic acid, and only the essential oil is unique. Acer truffle oil enters the edible oil market and will open a new chapter in edible oil rich in nervonic acid.

The high content of vitamin E (125mg/100g) in Acer truffle oil is also rare in the family of edible vegetable oils at home and abroad. It contains three times more vitamin E than olive oil and palm oil and twice as much as peanut oil. Acer truncatum oil is particularly resistant to storage and will not be rancid and deteriorated after being kept at room temperature for 3 years.
