Abstract:

Royal jelly acid (10-hydroxy-2-decenoic acid, 10-HDA) is a kind of trans-unsaturated fatty acid exclusively found in royal jelly. It is difficult to be separated because of its low content in royal jelly. At present, there are three main ways to prepare royal jelly acid, including physical extraction, chemical synthesis and biosynthesis, among which biosynthesis is hopeful to solve its expensive situation. With the in-depth study of royal jelly acid, it has been found that royal jelly acid has strong robust health and medical benefits. These beneficial effects include antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, antitumor, antioxidant and other effects, and has a wide application prospect in food, medicine, health products and cosmetics. Now, with the development and the changes of the market, cosmetic materials have ushered in new changes, and the cosmetic market needs new high-quality materials. This paper summarizes the effects of royal jelly acid in anti-aging, anti-inflammation, whitening, anti-oxidation and antimicrobial, in order to provide theoretical basis for the application of royal jelly acid in skin care products and provide new choices in cosmetic raw materials.

Key words: royal jelly acid, 10-HDA, skin care products, biological activity, application study
