Squalene has a wide range of applications and has great room for development in the future

Squalene, also known as trisahexene, has a chemical formula of C30H50. It is a polyunsaturated hydrocarbon produced during metabolic processes such as cholesterol synthesis in the human body. It contains 6 isoprene double bonds and is a terpenoid compound. It is a colorless or slightly yellow oily liquid insoluble in water at room temperature. It is easily soluble in organic solvents such as ether, chloroform, acetone, benzene and tetrahydrofuran.
Squalene has a high concentration in human fat cells and is distributed in the human body’s inner membrane, subcutaneous fat, liver, skin, brain and other organs. It participates in cholesterol synthesis and various biological reactions in the body and is indispensable to the human body. substance. Squalene is widely distributed in various animals and plants in nature, and its content in shark glycerin and olive oil is relatively high. Initially, squalene was mostly obtained from shark liver oil, but in recent years, with the pollution of the marine environment and the increase in wildlife As protection efforts increase, the production of animal-derived squalene has been greatly affected, and plant-based squalene will become the mainstream of the market in the future.
According to the “2023-2028 Squalene Industry Market In-depth Research and Investment Prospect Forecast Analysis Report” released by the Industrial Research Center, Squalene has a wide range of applications. Because it has antioxidant, emollient, moisturizing and other effects, it can play the role of antioxidant and free radical scavenger in cosmetics, and it is easy to emulsify in standard cosmetic formulas, so it can be used The production of moisturizers, sunscreens, hair care essential oils, lip balms, aromatic oils and other products; multiple studies have shown that the intake of squalene has the effect of resisting hypoxia and can be used in the production of hypoxia-resistant health foods; in addition, Squalene can also be used in the development of pesticides, clothing care agents, pencil lead stabilizers and other products. The market demand for squalene at home and abroad continues to grow. However, due to the limited production of animal-derived squalene and the difficulty of extracting plant-derived squalene, the supply and demand of squalene in the market is unbalanced.
Yichun Big Turtle Life Sciences Co., Ltd. is a leader in the domestic squalene industry. It has a complete plant squalene extraction and application research and development system. Through technological innovation, the company has achieved major breakthroughs in plant squalene extraction technology, and has opened up new fields including Plant squalene from soybeans, sunflowers, camellia, rice bran, corn, rapeseed and other sources has become a pioneer in the Chinese market. In 2022, the squalene production of Yichun Big Turtle Life Sciences Co., Ltd. will reach 1,500 tons, accounting for about one-third of the global total production.
Industry analysts said that currently domestic squalene has not been included in food raw materials and feed resources, so it is not considered a new food raw material. Nutritional enhancers and food additives can only be used as health food, cosmetics or pharmaceutical raw materials, and their application scope is subject to certain restrictions. However, as market demand continues to increase and squalene extraction technology continues to innovate, the application scope of squalene will be further expanded, and there is still considerable room for development in the future.
