Introduction to Dandelion Extract
Dandelion extract is a natural active component derived from the roots, leaves, or whole plant of the dandelion (Taraxacum officinale), primarily prepared using modern techniques such as water extraction, alcohol extraction, or supercritical fluid extraction. Its core functional components include taraxasterol, flavonoids (e.g., luteolin), caffeic acid, polysaccharides, and various vitamins and minerals. The extract typically appears as a brownish-yellow to dark brown powder or paste, with a slightly bitter taste, good water solubility, and stability. Dandelion has a long history in traditional medicine and is revered as the "queen of herbs." Modern research has further revealed its rich biological activities, making it an important raw material in the field of medicinal and edible homology, combining traditional wisdom with modern science.
