Abstract:

Hyaluronic acid is a kind of high molecular weight glycosaminoglycan which naturally exists in a variety of living bodies. Hyaluronic acid possesses vital physiological functions, such as moisturizing, antibiosis and antiphlogosis, anti-oxidation, anti-aging, lubricating arthrosis, and regulating osmotic pressure. As a type of natural non-toxic, excellent biocompatible and degradable bioactive substance, hyaluronic acid has a unique spiral column molecular configuration, and it has many active sites (hydroxyl group, amide group and glycosidic bond) in its molecular chain, which could be modified to offer more and better functions. Up to now, hyaluronic acid and its derivatives, composites and blends have been widely used in medical treatment, cosmetics, food and other fields. In this review, the name, structure and source of hyaluronic acid, as well as its physicochemical properties, physiological functions, preparation methods and recent application progress were introduced. The development prospect and research trend of hyaluronic acid were also pointed out.

Key words: hyaluronic acid, glycosaminoglycan, natural biomass material, preparation, property, application, cosmetic
