6-Paradol come from West Africa and they are used as a substitute for pepper because they are cheaper than pepper, although they are now a rare commodity in Europe and more expensive than pepper. In fact, there are two plants that can produce these seeds or grains, namely ryegrass and ryegrass. They are also known as Guinea grains and Chinese alligator pepper. The seeds are brown-red and irregular in shape. They are not only used as spices, but also widely used in medicine and health care products.
6-Paradol is a chemical substance found in the African cardamom plant Paradise Pepper, and its chemical structure is very similar to 6-Paradol. Current studies have shown that 6-Paradol phenol on the one hand has the effect of significantly lowering human blood sugar and blood lipids, at the same time it can promote human metabolism, and has a good weight loss effect; on the other hand, the compound has low toxicity and irritation and currently has no side effects Related reports; therefore, 6-Paradol phenol as a health care product and functional food additive has a broader development prospects.
Some researchers have found that 6-Paradol phenol has a similar chemical structure to capsaicin and can efficiently promote metabolism, and its spicy taste is only one-hundredth to one-thousandth of capsaicin, which is very irritating.
In 2009, researchers from the Kanebo Cosmetics Basic Technology Research Institute and Kumamoto Prefectural University found that 6-Paradol phenol extracted from heaven pepper, a ginger seasoning widely used in Europe, can effectively promote metabolism. The products developed by the material not only have good weight loss effects, but also have little irritation and no side effects, which are expected to bring good news to the weight-loss crowd.
In a one-month clinical trial, 6-Paradol showed a good weight loss effect. The metabolism of the subjects was significantly accelerated, which resulted in a decrease in body fat rate and a decrease in the ratio of waist to hip without any side effects. The research results have been published at the 63rd Japan Nutrition Food Association Conference, and related products will also be put on the market.
