Obtaining an extract from apple tree branches for elimination of cellulite, comprises using a polar solvent, separating the solid and liquid, and concentrating and drying the solution obtained

Obtaining an extract from dried and ground apple tree branches comprises using a polar solvent, separating the liquid and solid, and concentrating and drying the solution obtained. Obtaining an extract from dried and ground apple tree branches comprises using a polar solvent, separating the liquid and solid, and concentrating and drying the solution obtained. The polar solvent used is preferably a 1-4C alcohol, acetone, water, or their mixtures. The extraction takes place at any temperature between ambient and the boiling point, for 1 - 24 hours, using known extraction techniques. After separation of solid matter it may be re-extracted and the liquid phase evaporated, then optionally a second solvent is added such as glycerin, propylene glycol or butylene glycol, and the mixture evaporated a second time. The product contains 10 - 25 % phloridzin, preferably 15 %, and 20 - 40 % polyphenols, preferably 30 %. La présente invention concerne les extraits secs de branches de pommier susceptibles d'être obtenu par extraction à l'aide d'un solvant polaire à partir de branches de pommiers séchées et broyées, suivie de la séparation des phases liquides des solides puis de la concentration des solutions obtenues et du séchage du concentrat. Elle a également pour objet leur procédé de préparation et leur utilisation en dermocosmétologie et en particulier comme inhibant de la différentiation cellulaire entre les pré-adipocytes et les adipocytes et comme amincissant.
