This unknown component is called "R substance" and has been studied all over the world. Until a while ago, it was called decenoic acid, but the latest research has revealed that a component called "MRJP1 (Apicin)" is greatly involved in the growth of the queen bee. Research data show that only the protein content (apicin content) decreases significantly during the larval growth process, that is, the larvae eat well. There was almost no change in decenoic acid. (Source: A New Marker for Evaluation of Royal Jelly) Royal jelly with different apicin content was given to honeybee larvae and their growth differences were compared. One was given 500mAU royal jelly, which has a very low amount of apicin, and the other was given 1500mAU royal jelly, which has three times the amount of apicin. As a result of the observation, it was found that the growth of the larvae fed with royal jelly with an apicin amount of 1500 mAU was remarkable compared with the larvae fed with royal jelly with an apicin amount of 1500 mAU. From these research results, the high total amount of apicin has changed to a new evaluation standard of high quality. The growth of larvae is influenced by apicin and has been directly confirmed to be an important substance for the growth of queen bees. Therefore, it can be said that apicin is an important substance for the rapid growth of larvae. Precision is required for the analysis of apicin. Even for sample samples, trace amounts of proteins are detected by using the latest analysis and analysis equipment such as "high performance liquid chromatography" and "MALDI TOF / TOF MS" equipment. The reason why the amount of apicin varies depending on the royal jelly. It all depends on beekeeping technology. Of course, since it is a natural substance, there may be subtle differences even with royal jelly harvested in the same source and environment. However, the difference is as large as this graph because of the difference in beekeeping technology. Our royal jelly is collected from a 100% natural rapeseed source that blooms in the highlands and gates at 3,200 m above sea level, located in the deepest part of northwestern China. Since it is located at an altitude of 3,200 m above sea level, there is no need to worry about pests, germs, or air pollution due to urbanization. In addition, no pesticides are used.
