Chapter 298 Biological Health Care
"What is this?" Just when Mo Xie was busy, Zhang Xiushui was also helping, and at this time, he inevitably saw the pineapple crown buds planted. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Pineapple, don't you know? We will soon have Polo to eat, and we will not have to buy pineapples in the future, eating pineapples will leave crown buds, and we will soon be able to harvest a big pineapple again! Mo Xie said with a smile.
"You just dream!" Zhang Xiushui rolled his eyes and said, he had seen Mo Ye's whimsy.
"Hehe...... Mo Xie laughed twice, but didn't explain anything.
Artificially cultivating vegetables, grains and fruits is a general trend, not to mention the increasing population, in case human beings really fly out of the earth one day, then on the spaceship, there is no need to artificially cultivate all kinds of necessary materials?
You know, the movement of space navigation is calculated in years, even if you don't need to grow your own food in this process, and enter an alien planet, such as Venus, which has water and air, can you cultivate food crops by yourself?
Of course, Mo Ye is whimsical, but there are many whimsical people like him, otherwise why would artificial eggs be studied? Isn't it just for humans to go into space?
Otherwise, why would human scientists be idle and study this?
Mo Ye is more urgent about this point than others, after all, he has a super biological detector in his hand, which is obviously not earth technology, so he wants to go faster.
Artificial intelligence is to be developed, machinery manufacturing is to be developed, and biotechnology is also indispensable!
In the next few days, Mo Ye discovered several more plants with strong vitality, such as onions.
Onion rhizomes are definitely a treasure, if you want to grow onion segments, first use a knife to cut a 3 cm slice on the onion rhizome, put the rhizome into a small pot prepared in advance, and the soil only needs to overflow the onion rhizome 1 cm.
As long as you water once every 3 days, within a week, the onion sprouts will grow, wait patiently, and after two or three weeks, you can eat onion onions.
In addition to onions, ginger, lettuce, potatoes, etc., these vegetables that you don't usually notice are all extremely strong, especially their resurrection function, which is simply incomparable.
Whether it's pineapple heads, coriander, ginger, lettuce or potatoes, they're all destroyed and come back to life very quickly, and that's what makes them so special.
Mo Xie is concerned about these special features, what are the similarities with the barramundi!
Of course, it is not enough to be sure that one day or two days, it takes a long time, multi-faceted, multi-perspective observation and collection of data, and after comparison, some useful information can definitely be obtained.
Modern biopharmaceuticals, many of which are extracted from specific parts of plants and animals, such as coenzyme Q10, the name is not clear to many people, but this thing is definitely a high-grade health care product.
Coenzyme Q10, whose scientific name is hydroxydecyl ubiquinone, is a fat-soluble antioxidant, which can activate the nutrition of human cells and cellular energy, and has the functions of improving human immunity, enhancing antioxidant, delaying aging and enhancing human vitality.
Looking at the name, whether it is coenzyme Q10 or hydroxydecyl ubiquinone, it is like a chemical element, in fact, this thing was first extracted from animal liver, which is a fat-soluble quinone compound that exists in nature, and its structure is similar to vitamin K, vitamin E and plastid quinone.
This substance is involved in the production and activation of energy in the cells of the human body, and is the most effective antioxidant ingredient in preventing the formation of arteriosclerosis.
Coenzyme Q10 is relatively high in organs (heart, liver, kidneys), beef, soybean oil, sardines, mackerel and peanuts, and an intake of about 1 kg of sardines, 2 kg of beef or 3 kg of peanuts can provide about 30mg of CoQ10 respectively.
Coenzyme Q10 was discovered in 1957, and the price at that time was very high, because it needed to be extracted from animal organs, and it was difficult to extract.
In the early eighties of the twentieth century, Japan realized the extraction of solanol from tobacco leaves, and synthesized and produced coenzyme Q10 as raw materials, which greatly reduced the cost of coenzyme Q10, which played an important role in promoting the application, popularization and promotion of coenzyme Q10.
At present, the semi-chemical synthesis method is relatively mature in technology and has been industrialized, so the product cost is relatively low and the price is moderate.
However, although the products produced by the semi-chemical synthesis method have an advantage in price, there is a large gap in use compared with the products produced by the biological extraction method.
The reason is that the biological extraction method produces natural and organic products, which are easy to be absorbed and transformed by the human body, while the chemical synthesis method produces organic products that are artificially chemically synthesized, which have extremely poor biological activity and are not easy to be absorbed by the human body, and it is difficult to give full play to the pharmacological effects of coenzyme Q10.
In the past half century, the production of coenzyme Q10 by microbial fermentation has been realized in developed countries in 1977, and the microbial fermentation and extraction method has made great progress in recent years.
This new bioengineering method, which combines the advantages of both biological extraction and chemical synthesis methods, and overcomes their shortcomings, is therefore the most remarkable and promising method for industrialization.
Having said all this, Mo Xie does not want to extract coenzyme Q10, but wants to extract some active substances from plants, of course, he is not whimsical, and others have long been ahead of this research.
Some of the active substances extracted from plants have now been shown to have good medical effects, and in fact, extracts from many plants have special anti-cancer potential.
In recent years, scientists have found that many plant extracts can help fight cancer, such as a recent research paper published in the international journal Journal of Natural Products, researchers extracted from parsley and dill seeds in addition to special compounds, these compounds can help prepare new drugs with anti-cancer activity.
Of course, anti-cancer active substances are one thing, and there are other antiviral, antifungal and other active substances, but these are all precursor topics of biotechnology, and they are not so easy to extract.
Why is it not easy for others to do research in this area? The main reason is that these biologically active substances are all microscopic substances, all of which are too small, to put it simply, except for laboratory methods, humans cannot see it, and even if they know that it exists in a plant, it is not easy to isolate it.
And Mo Xie is different, he has a super biological detector to scan, whether it is a plant or an animal, as long as he wants, he can list all the components inside it, bit by bit.
For example, animals are carbohydrates, how much carbon is in them, how much water is in them, how much is subdivided, how much protein is there, how many metal elements are there, etc., can be expressed with accurate numbers.
In this way, a lot of research has become relatively easy, and even Mo Ye can clearly see the transformation and synthesis of some substances.
When he really walked into biotechnology, Mo Ye found that there were too many interesting things in it, such as the fact that two insecticidal active substances can be extracted from neem plants, which can be used to make pollution-free pesticides.
Cosmetic preservatives are extracted from the leaves of the natural plant honeysuckle, and potatoes are more interesting, and the endogenous hormones in the potato extract are very helpful for the growth of plant callus.
Some high-end cosmetics are also more and more inclined to natural plant extracts, with natural, green, healthy and safe cosmetics with plant extracts, more and more people pay attention, the development of plant resources active substances, the development of pure natural cosmetics, has become one of the most active themes in the development of the cosmetics industry.
And this is also Mo Xie's purpose, he mainly wants to extract a substance for medical care.
Not to mention the anti-cancer active substances mentioned earlier, and not to mention the endohormones in potatoes, which can help plant injured tissues heal, just talking about the health care effect, it is worth studying.
Others still need to be studied for a period of time before they can produce results, and the wine in the Mo Ye space is actually a mature health care product.
Grape is the most widely cultivated fruit tree crop in the world, and grape fruit can be made into a variety of popular commodities such as wine, grape juice and raisins, and is a crop with high economic value. Grapes are rich in minerals, vitamins and amino acids that the human body needs, and they are rich in nutritional value.
The natural actives contained in grapes, such as resveratrol, oleanolic acid, anthocyanins and proanthocyanidins, are of great health value.
Now, after highly concentrated fermentation, noble rot liquor can be directly cited as high-end health liquor without extracting anything at all.
Since there is already a mature product, it means that Mo Ye's idea is correct, so Mo Ye will be more attentive.
Honestly staying in school and learning a lot of biological knowledge, Mo Ye has found the right research direction, he is not too ambitious, so he did not choose the research of anti-cancer active substances, but chose the extraction of antioxidant active substances.
Under the long-term uninterrupted observation, Mo Ye now has a complete understanding of the growth process of plants, from childhood to adulthood, every trace of changes in the growth process of plants, he has recorded them.
If it were someone else, even with the help of the current top-notch scientific instruments, he would not be able to do this, but Mo Xie was the outlier, he had a super biological detector, a cheat, which could accurately monitor every trace of change in the growth process of plants.
From molecules, atoms, to macromolecules, to large proteins, to gene chains, to various synthetic substances, in between, every change, Mo Ye observed very carefully, and there was a detailed formation process.
In this process, which kind of substance and what kind of help is provided, and slowly Mo Xie will also study and understand.
Therefore, he can use the fastest speed to find the substance he is looking for, and this part of the substance is the active substance of mutual growth.
