Wolfberry rich of wolfberry polysaccharides(amylose),Betaine,zeaxanthine,physalein,Ascorbic acid,Carotene,Riboflavin,Nicotine,Thiamine,taurine,Vitamine E,Vitamin C,Vitamin B1,Vitamin B2,content of Vitamin C same as orange,and wolfberry contain 19 kinds of amino acid,and K,Na,Ca,Mg,Fe,Cu,Mn,Zn,Se,21 kinds of minerals,and the concentration of Beta-carotene in wolfberry even higher than carrot,effect protein concentration more than bee pollen. Every 100g fresh wolfberry contain crude protein 5.8g,wolfberry fat 1g,Calcium 155mg,phosphor 67mg,Fe 3.4mg,carotene 3.96mg,Vitamine B 10.23mg,Vitamine C 3mg; Betaine about 1%.

 Main Content:

 1.Betaine:
Chemical Name:1-Carboxy-N,N,N-trimethylmethanaminium hydroxide, inner salt; Betaine; Methanaminium, 1-carboxy-N,N,N-trimethyl-, hydroxide, inner salt ; Trimethylglycine
Formula: C₅ H₁₁N O₂.  Molecular Weight:117.1474  CAS RN:107-43-7  

 2.Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharide.LBP:

Definition:Lycium Barbarum Polysaccharide is a kind of Proteoglycan composed from 6 kind of Monosaccharide,they are Arabinose,Glucose,Galactose, Mannose,Rhamnose and Xylose.

 A glycoconjugate with pronounced immunoactivity, designated as LbGp2, was isolated from the fruit of Lycium barbarum L (26.). Two kinds of AGP (Cp-2-B and Hp-2-C) were obtained from the fruit of Lycium chinense Mill,The ratio of arabinose to galactose was approximately 1:1 in both samples, and the carbohydrate was linked O-glycosidically to serine in Cp-2-B, and to both serine and threonine residues of the protein in Hp-2-C. The weight-average molecular weight was 71,000 for Cp-2-B and 120,000 for Hp-2-C. (31.)

 Other content.:

 Atropine;hyoscyamine;zeaxanthin; physalien; cryptoxanthin; scopoletin.Seed contains rich amino acid, including aspartic acid; proline; glutamic acid; glycine; cysteine; lysine; leucine; phenylalanine; serine; arginine;isoleucine; threonine; histidine; tyrosine; tryptophan; methionine;Vitamin A; Vitamin C;Duacosterol,etc.

 Some related study identified four cyclic peptides, lyciumins A-D (1-4), three acyclic diterpene glycosides, lyciumosides I-III (5-7) and other three compounds, a tryptophan derivative glycoside (8), a monoterpene glycoside (9) and a steroidal glycoside (10) isolated from Lycium chinense (9.).some relative study identified a a novel ascorbic acid(Vc) analogue from fresh or dry fruit of Lycium barbarum,and its content ratio reach to 0.5% which is said comparable to fresh lemons (70.)

 Phytochemicals in leaves.:

 Scientifist ever identified flavonol glycosides and genins from the leaves of LYCIUM HALIMIFOLIUM Mill. (Solanaceae),they are quercetin 3- O-rutinoside-7- O-glucoside(1),kaempferol3- O-rutinoside-7- O-glucoside(2),rutin(3),nicotiflorin(4), isoquercitrin(5),quercetin(6),and kaempferol(7) (1.). Some study about Vitamin E content in natural herbs find that leaves of Lycium chinense contains alpha-tocopherol content at concentration of 94.4 mg/kg (29.).Some relative study find wolfberry may contains bioflavonoid Apigenin about 547.0 mg/kg(30.).

 Phytochemicals in roots.:

 Some relative study identified four compounds from root of Lycium chinense:beta-sitosterol, betaine hydrochloride, scopoletin and E-ferulic acid octacosyl ester (13.).Some other study discovery of 14 calystegines, a cycloheptane bearing an amino group and three hydroxyl groups, and two polyhydroxylated piperidine alkaloids(16.).New phenolic amide, dihydro-N-caffeoyltyramine (1) was isolated from the root bark of Lycium chinense Miller, along with known compounds, trans-N-caffeoyltyramine (2), cis-N-caffeoyltyramine (3), and lyoniresinol 3alpha-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4)(40.).
