The raw material of NMN is a white powder, and some businesses sell this powdered raw material directly for benefits, or put the raw material into the capsule and sell it, and it is also a huge risk to eat it directly.
The extraction process of NMN raw materials is an important link to ensure the quality and purity of the final product, and there are four main extraction processes:
1, Chemical synthesis
It is based on chemical principles and converts raw materials into β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide through a series of complex chemical reactions.
The cost of chemical synthesis is very low, there are chemical residues, which can pose a large health risk.
2, Yeast method is a biological fermentation method to extract NMN.
It uses yeast to ferment under specific conditions to produce metabolites containing β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide.
The advantages of this method are that the raw materials are widely available, the cost is relatively low, and the production process is relatively environmentally friendly.
By optimizing fermentation conditions and subsequent extraction technology, NMN with stable quality and moderate purity can be prepared by yeast method.
The yeast method also has some challenges, such as impurities and microbial contamination that may occur during the fermentation process, requiring strict control of the production process to ensure product quality.
3, Biological method is a method that uses genetic engineering to modify microorganisms to produce NMN.
The microbe is genetically engineered to efficiently synthesize NMN, and the target product is then obtained through fermentation and extraction processes.
The advantage of the biological method is that it can significantly increase the yield and purity of NMN while reducing the production cost.
The biological method also has environmental and sustainability advantages, as the microbial fermentation process usually does not produce hazardous waste.
The technical difficulty of biological method is relatively high, which requires professional genetic engineering technology and fermentation process support, so there are still some challenges in practical application.
4, Enzyme synthesis + enzyme directed evolution technology
NMN enzyme directed evolution technology and biological enzyme method are based on the characteristics of enzymes to optimize the production process of β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide.
The former focuses on improving the performance of enzymes through evolutionary mechanisms, while the latter directly utilizes the catalytic action of enzymes to produce β-Nicotinamide Mononucleotide.
When purchasing NMN products, consumers should choose formal channels to purchase, and pay attention to the inspection report and certification information of the product.
