1. Application in the field of cosmetics. In human skin, tyrosine is catalyzed by tyrosinase, complex oxidation and polymerization with oxygen radicals, and finally synthesis of melanin. Kojic acid can inhibit the synthesis of tyrosinase, so it can strongly inhibit the formation of skin melanin, and it is safe and non-toxic, and will not produce white spot sequelae, so kojic acid has been incorporated into lotions, masks, lotions, skin creams, and made into high-end whitening cosmetics that can effectively treat freckles, age spots, pigmentation, acne, etc. A concentration of 20ug/ml kojic acid can inhibit the activity of 70~80% of a variety of tyrosinase (or polyphenol oxidase PPO), and the general amount added in cosmetics is 0.5~2.0%.
2. Food processing field. Kojic acid can be used as a food additive to play a role in preservation, antiseptic, and antioxidant effects. Experiments have proved that kojic acid can inhibit the conversion of NaNO2 in smoked meat into carcinogenic nitrosamines, and the addition of kojic acid to food will not affect the taste, aroma and texture of food; Kojic acid is also a raw material for the production of maltol and ethyl maltol, and in food processing, kojic acid has a wide range of applications.
3. Pharmaceutical field. Because kojic acid has no mutagenic effect on eukaryotic cells, and can eliminate free radicals in the human body, enhance white blood cell power and other effects, which is beneficial to human health, kojic acid has been used as a raw material for cephalosporin antibiotics, and the finished drugs produced are used to treat headache, toothache and local inflammation and other diseases, and the analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects are very ideal.
4. In the field of agriculture. Kojic acid can be used in the production of biopesticides. Add 0.5~1.0% kojic acid made of biological micro fertilizer (dark red liquid), whether it is sprayed at low concentration as foliar fertilizer, or made into a growth enhancer for root application, this crop production promoter has obvious yield increase effect on grain and vegetables.
5. In other fields. Kojic acid can also be used as an iron analysis reagent, film spot remover, etc.
