For the significant and unique biological functions of ergothione substances, scholars in various countries have long carried out research on its application, although it needs to be further in-depth, but it plays a good role in the application of it in various fields. Ergothionein has a wide range of applications and market prospects in organ transplantation, cell preservation, medicine, food and beverage, functional food, animal feed, cosmetics and biotechnology.
Used as a unique antioxidant
Ergothioneine is a highly protective, non-toxic natural antioxidant that is not easily oxidized in water, which allows their concentration in some tissues to reach mmol and activates the cell's natural antioxidant defense system. Among the many antioxidants, ergothione is particularly unique, because ergothione can chelate heavy metal ions, which can make the red blood cells in the body free from free radical damage.
For organ transplants
The amount of tissue available and the duration of preservation play a decisive role in the success of organ transplantation. The most commonly used antioxidant for organ transplant preservation is glutathione, which is easily oxidized when exposed to the environment, even when refrigerated or in a liquid environment, its antioxidant capacity is greatly reduced, causing cell toxicity and inflammation, inducing hydrolysis of tissue proteins. Because ergothione is stable in aqueous solution and can chelate heavy metal ions as an antioxidant, it can be used as a substitute for glutathione in the field of organ protection to better protect transplanted organs.
Added to cosmetics as a skin protectant
Ultraviolet UVA in sunlight can penetrate into the dermis of human skin, affecting the growth of epidermal cells, making surface cells die of old age, causing premature aging of the skin, and ultraviolet UVB is easy to lead to skin cancer. Ergothione can minimize the formation of reactive oxygen species and protect cells from radiation damage, so ergothione can be used as a skin protective agent added to some cosmetics for the development of outdoor skin care products and protective cosmetics.
Application in ophthalmology
In recent years, studies have found that ergothione plays a key role in protecting the eye, so many researchers hope to develop an ophthalmic product to promote the development of eye treatment surgery. Ophthalmic surgery is usually performed locally, and the water solubility and stability of ergothioneine provide feasibility for this kind of surgery, which has great application value.
In other applications
Ergothione can be used in many fields because of its excellent properties. For example, it is used in the field of medicine, food, health products, cosmetics and so on. In the field of medicine can be used to treat inflammation, can be made into tablets, capsules, oral preparations, etc.; In the field of health products can prevent the occurrence of cancer, can be made into functional food, functional drinks and other products, in the field of cosmetics can be used for anti-aging, can be made into sunscreen and other products.
With the enhancement of people's health awareness, the excellent properties of ergothione as a natural antioxidant will gradually be widely recognized and applied.
