Purple cabbage, also referred to as red cabbage, belongs to the Brassica genus of plants. Purple variety is richer in beneficial molecules for health benefits that includes to support stronger bones, healthier heart, lower inflammation and protect against certain types of cancers. Its antioxidants include vitamin C, carotenoids, and flavonoid antioxidants, such as anthocyanins and kaempferol.
It is also a good source of sulforaphane, a sulfur-rich compound that forms when raw cabbage is cut or crushed. Sulforaphane is linked to powerful heart health benefits and cancer-fighting properties. This may be due to its content of anthocyanins, which are flavonoid antioxidants that give purple cabbage its characteristic color.
Purple cabbage contains more than 36 types of anthocyanins, making it an excellent source of this heart-healthy compound. It is also rich in vitamin K1. experts believe this may be because it contains sulforaphane and anthocyanins two compounds researched for their cancer-fighting properties.
Microcore has developed highly innovative technologies by using selective probioticis to ferment the Purple cabbage in controlled conditions on both submerged and solid state fermentations to produce bio-transformed Anthocyanin for the selective target of cancer cells on In vitro studies. Microcore believe that this study would help to identify bio-transformed anthocyanin as potential Nutraceuticlas for the Anticancer and Cardio-wellness.
The red cabbage (purple-leaved varieties of Brassica oleracea Capitata Group) is a kind of cabbage, also known as Blaukraut after preparation. Its leaves are colored dark red/purple. However, the plant changes its color according to the pH value of the soil, due to a pigment belonging to anthocyanins. In acidic soils, the leaves grow more reddish, in neutral soils they will grow more purple, while an alkaline soil will produce rather greenish-yellow colored cabbages and the purple remains the potential source of Antioxidants.
Red Cabbage contains:
Biotransformed Anthocyanin are screened to stop the proliferations of the cancer cells.
Fermented Red Cabbage powder would be a potential source of biotrasnformed Anthocyanin and Vitamin C.
Key Benefits:
Soluble Red Cabbage powder remains a potential source of the Antioxidants and Vitamins C and Vitamin K along with many minerals and other vitamins and Specifically helps human immune system on multiple way, however Microcore is constantly working on identifying novel targets to stop the cancer cell proliferations.
Yes, Microcore's Natural Soluble Red Cabbage Powder is approved as NUTRACEUTICALS and produced by Patent registered technologies and in the process of special approval on FSMP from FSSAI/STD/Delhi.
