Function of Hesperetin
(1) .Resistant to oxidation activity, includes to clear away single turn oxygen, peroxide, hydroxide radical and other free radical
(2).Prevent circulatory system to be harmed by ill, make capillary vessel more flexible, resist platelet aggregation and regulate cardiovascular
(3).Resistant to inflammation and hyper susceptibility.
(4).Resistant to bacterium, include epiphyte and bacteria.
(5).The unique polymethyl oxidation flavone shows its very strong biological activity, which demonstrated its effect to resist tumor is stronger than others in general. It is more effective to close and permeate with tumour cell. It has found that the orange peel has the function to prevent inflame caused by UV radiation, such as erythema and cancerization, so orange flavone could be used as the raw material for sunshade cosmetic.
