The Art of NATURE, The Art of SCIENCE
Muscadine (Vitis rotundifolia) is a species of grapevine native to southeastern United States. Native Americans consumed muscadine fruit fresh or dried and they also used muscadine as a source of blue dye. Since the 16th century, the muscadine plant has been extensively cultivated due to their numerous applications in food and wine making. Muscadine berries have thick, tough skin and are bronze, dark purple or black when ripe, making them rich in a variety of polyphenols. Our muscadine fruits are sourced locally from a family-owned farm in the state of Georgia, USA and it is fully traceable. Muscadine-ANB exhibits anti-oxidant activities when tested with DPPH, ABTS, and FRAP assays, as well as by inhibiting intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS).
In addition, Muscadine-ANB shows skin brightening activities by inhibiting tyrosinase.
