What is Mulberry Extract?
Mulberry extract 1-Deoxynojirimycin (DNJ) is an alpha-glucosidase
inhibitor, most commonly found in mulberry leaves. Although it can
be obtained in small quantities by brewing an herbal tea from
mulberry leaves, interest in commercial production has led to
research on developing mulberry tea higher in DNJ,and on alternate
routes of production, such as via Bacillus species.Mulberry fruit
color derives from anthocyanins, which are under basic research for
mechanisms of various diseases. Anthocyanins are responsible for
the attractive colors of fresh plant foods, including orange, red,
purple, black, and blue. These colors are water-soluble and easily
extractable, yielding natural food colorants. Due to a growing
demand for natural food colorants, their significance in the food
industry is increasing.

Morus, a genus of flowering plants in the family Moraceae,
comprises 10–16 species of deciduous trees commonly known as
mulberries growing wild and under cultivation in many temperate
world regions. The closely related genus Broussonetia is also
commonly known as mulberry, notably the paper mulberry,
Broussonetia papyrifera. Mulberries are fast-growing when young,
but soon become slow-growing and rarely exceed 10–15 m (33–49 ft)
tall. The leaves are alternately arranged, simple and often lobed;
lobes are more common on juvenile shoots than on mature trees. The
leaves are serrated on the margin. The trees can be monoecious or
dioecious.
The mulberry fruit is a multiple fruit, 2–3 cm (0.79–1.18 in) long.
Immature fruits are white, green, or pale yellow. In most species
the fruits turn pink and then red while ripening, then dark purple
or black, and have a sweet flavor when fully ripe. The fruits of
the white-fruited cultivar are white when ripe; the fruit of this
cultivar is also sweet, but has a very mild flavor compared with
darker varieties.
