Tainan, Taiwan, March 7, 2014
Orchid flowers with its elegant aroma and especially its reparative and protective properties are ideal materials to develop cosmetics, revealed National Cheng Kung University (NCKU) Research Center of Orchid whose research energy has extended to Lan-Hui Biotech.
The R&D research team of Lan Hui Biotech led by NCKU Professor Hong-Hwa Chen from the Department of Life Sciences has developed “orchid embryonin” extracted from orchid embryo.
The powder-like orchid seeds, with size of only 1 mm, are the origin of orchids, according to Dr. Yu-Tun Hsiao from NCKU Research Center of Orchid.
It takes 3 years for seeds to grow up to strong plants and bloom beautiful flower, noted Hsiao.

Cooperating with National Cheng Kung University- Orchid R&D center, Lan-hui Biotech collected orchid embryos (protocorms) in specific developmental stage, and confirmed functions of orchid embryonin via microarray.
We extracted orchid embryonin with unique techniques and found that orchid embyonin can stimulate cellular fertility, making skin reborn and strong, said Hsiao.
She noted that orchid embryonin also has brilliant ability of anti-oxidant and skin renewing.
