What is Perilla Extract produced in Changsha NutraMax Inc .?

Perilla frutescens (L.) Britt. (syn. Perilla nankinensis (Lour.) Decne. etc.) is a cultivated plant of the mint family Lamiaceae. It is the species identification encompassing two distinct varieties of traditional crop in East Asia :

1.) P. frutescens var. crispa,the aromatic leafy herb called by its Japanese name shiso,which in turn is a loan word from the Chinese pinyin: zi-su; Wade–Giles: tsu-su.The plant occurs in red (purple-leaved) or green-leaved forms.The now less fashionable English name "beefsteak plant" has been superseded by the Japanese-derived name shiso in the mass media and popular literature.

2.) P. frutescens var. frutescens or var. japonica,the oilseed crop,source of perilla oil and a common food ingredient in Korean cuisine,both as "wild sesame" in seed form,and as "sesame leaves".The provisional English name "wild sesame" is a literal translation of the Korean name Hangul: RR:deulggae; MR: tulkkae.In Japan this type of perilla is called egoma ) ( Japanese: e-; pinyin: ren; Wade–Giles: jen; Korean: im),and is not shiso.

3.The genus name perilla is also a frequently used as the common plant name,but that may be confusing since it is applicable to both varieties.
