Product DescriptionFactory Hot Sell free sample  Cosmetic Materials Grade and food grade  Kojic Acid CAS 501-30-4

Kojic acid is made from several different types of fungi. It's also a byproduct when certain foods ferment, including Japanese sake, soy sauce, and rice wine.

Kojic acid inhibits and prevents the formation of tyrosine, which is an amino acid that's needed to produce melanin. Melanin is the pigment that affects hair, skin, and eye color. Because it inhibits the production of melanin, kojic acid can have a lightening effect.
 

Function:
(1) Kojic acid is a kind of specialized inhibitor for melanin. It can prevent the tyrosinase activity through synthesizing with copper ion in the cells after it enters skin cells. Kojic acid and its derivative has better inhibitory effect on tyrosinase than any other skin whitening agents.
(2) Kojic acid can also eliminate free radical, strengthen cell activity of cell and keep the food fresh.
(3) Kojic acid also has antibacterial and antifungal properties
 
Application:
1).Applied in Agriculture:
kojic acid is used in producing biological pesticides;
2).Applied in Medicine:
kojic acid has been used as the an important material of cephalosporin-type antibiotics;
3).Applied in other fields:
kojic acid is also used as iron analytical reagent and film spotting agent, etc;
4).Applied in Cosmetics:
kojic acid has been widely added into the lotion, face mask, liquid cream and skin cream.
5).Applied in Food additive:
kojic acid work as antiseptic,antioxidant, preservative and color stablizer in meat processing, also act as useful materials of food aromatizer - maltol and ethyl maltol.
