High-Efficacy Myelin Sheath Repair & Neuroprotection
Nervonic acid is a crucial very-long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid that acts as a core structural element of brain sphingomyelin. In cuprizone-induced models of central nervous system demyelination, dietary administration of this premium seed oil significantly promotes myelin repair in the corpus callosum. It up-regulates the production of Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) and accelerates the maturation of oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (marked by CC1-positive cells) to insulate axons and restore neural transmission speed.
Furthermore, latest network pharmacology studies confirm that the active monounsaturated fractions in Shantung Maple seed oil trigger the TREM2-APOE microglial pathway. This molecular mechanism facilitates the rapid clearance of myelin debris and directly resolves chronic neuroinflammatory damage, providing an exceptional active ingredient for anti-aging and nerve-protection therapeutic lines.
Dual-Action Cognitive Alleviation & Gut-Brain Axis Modulation
In transgenic models of Alzheimer’s disease, long-term administration of Acer truncatum seed oil successfully alleviates spatial learning, memory, and physical coordination decline. This neuroprotective benefit is achieved by modulating gut microbiota composition and the circulatory metabolome. ASO acts as a selective prebiotic, increasing the richness of the gut microbiome and significantly up-regulating short-chain fatty acid (SCFA)-producing bacteria, particularly butyrate producers such as Ruminococcaceae, Butyricicoccus, and Sutterella.
This prebiotic-like shift increases fecal and serum concentrations of butyric, propionic, and acetic acids. Butyrate, a key microbial metabolite, crosses the blood-brain barrier to reduce microglial and astrocytic neuroinflammation, while promoting dendritic spine density in the hippocampal dentate gyrus, thus restoring synaptic connectivity.
Potent Antioxidant Defense & Anti-Aging Efficacy
Systemic low-grade inflammation and oxidative stress are primary drivers of age-related cellular decline. Our molecularly refined oil is exceptionally rich in natural gamma-tocopherol, phytosterols, and flavonoids, which work in synergy to inhibit tissue lipid peroxidation. It significantly decreases levels of malondialdehyde (MDA)—a toxic byproduct of cell membrane oxidation—while boosting superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) in blood serum.
In acute hypoxia-ischemia models, Acer truncatum oil protects cells from hypoxic damage, reduces cellular edema, and significantly down-regulates the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as interleukin-1 beta, interleukin-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha. It shields delicate neural lipids from hypoxia, providing an excellent wellness active to support healthy, active aging.
Advanced Microencapsulation & High-Viscosity Formulation Stability
Due to the presence of multiple double bonds, raw unsaturated fats are highly vulnerable to oxidation during standard food processing and storage. To ensure maximum formulation stability and prevent rancidity, we utilize carnosic acid (rosemary extract, 0.07%) in synergy with soybean lecithin. This natural system effectively blocks oil oxidation, preventing off-odor volatile aldehydes and extending shelf life.
Furthermore, to resolve the low water solubility and strong oily taste of vegetable oils in liquid applications, we utilize complex coacervation technology. Microencapsulating the oil within complex coacervates of chickpea protein isolate (CPI) and citrus pectin at a precise 6:1 ratio (pH 4.1) produces highly stable microcapsules. This advanced formulation shields the oil in gastric environments and achieves controlled release in the intestine, masking oily notes for seamless integration into liquid dairy, wellness powders, and functional food products.

Acer truncatum seed oil (commonly known as Shantung Maple seed oil) is a highly functional woody plant oil cold-pressed from the seeds of the Acer truncatum tree. Its primary active ingredient is nervonic acid, a rare, very-long-chain monounsaturated fatty acid. It also contains over 90% total unsaturated fatty acids (such as linoleic and oleic acids), along with significant amounts of natural gamma-tocopherol, phytosterols, flavonoids, and beta-carotene.
Nervonic acid is a crucial, rate-limiting building block of sphingomyelin, which is essential for maintaining the structure and insulation of the myelin sheath—the protective insulating layer surrounding our nerves. A steady supply of nervonic acid supports myelin repair, improves neural transmission speed, and helps protect brain cell membranes from age-related cognitive decline.
Yes. Preclinical studies using cuprizone-induced demyelination models demonstrate that dietary supplementation with 4% Shantung Maple seed oil significantly promotes myelin repair (remyelination) in the corpus callosum. It up-regulates the production of Myelin Basic Protein (MBP) and accelerates mature oligodendrocyte development (CC1-positive cells) by activating the microglia-mediated TREM2-APOE pathway, which clears myelin debris and resolves central neuroinflammation.
In transgenic models of Alzheimer's disease, long-term administration of the oil reshapes the gut microbiota, promoting the growth of beneficial, butyrate-producing bacteria (such as Ruminococcaceae and Butyricicoccus). This prebiotic-like shift increases fecal and serum butyric acid, which crosses the blood-brain barrier to reduce neuroinflammation and promote the formation of dendritic spines, thus restoring synaptic connectivity and improving spatial learning and memory.
While most vegetable fats are composed of triglycerides, our refined oil contains a high relative level of diacylglycerols (27.91%). Unlike triglycerides, dietary diacylglycerols are metabolized differently in the liver and gut, helping to reduce postprandial blood lipids, decrease visceral fat deposition, and improve metabolic syndrome parameters without causing adverse effects.
Raw pressed oil typically has a high acid value (exceeding 2.8 mg g⁻¹) due to free fatty acids, which can cause rancidity. We utilize advanced physical **Molecular Distillation (MD)** optimized by Genetic Algorithm-Backpropagation Artificial Neural Network modeling. This chemical-free, physical deacidification method reduces the acid value of the refined oil to 0.240 mg/g while achieving over 92% oil recovery with zero solvent residue or water waste.
Yes, comprehensive toxicological evaluations—including acute oral toxicity, 90-day subchronic feeding tests, and genotoxicity assays (Ames test, micronucleus test)—have demonstrated that the refined oil is completely non-toxic. Its balanced monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fatty acids, along with zero-psoralen safety, make it an excellent plant-based source of nervonic acid to mimic human breast milk lipid profiles, supporting rapid early-stage brain myelination.
To protect sensitive double bonds from oxidation, we stabilize our Shantung Maple seed oil using 0.07% carnosic acid (rosemary extract) in synergy with soybean lecithin. This natural antioxidant system improves solubility, prevents the formation of off-odor volatile aldehydes, and ensures excellent shelf life under thermal processing and long-term storage.
Yes. Using advanced complex coacervation, we microencapsulate the oil within complex coacervates of chickpea protein isolate (CPI) and citrus pectin at a precise 6:1 ratio (pH 4.1). This advanced formulation protects the oil, achieves controlled release in the intestine, and masks oily notes, allowing for seamless integration into liquid dairy, functional beverages, and dry wellness powders.
Nervonic acid was historically sourced from shark brains, raising severe ecological and ethical concerns. Sourcing NA from sustainably managed Acer truncatum plantations provides a completely sustainable, plant-based, and scale-up feasible alternative. This clean-label source is free from marine heavy metals, aligning perfectly with modern, eco-conscious consumer expectations.
