Quality Control

Our Malvidin is produced under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopy, to ensure it meets the high standards required for food, nutraceutical, and research applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbiological parameters are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). Due to its light-sensitive and easily oxidized nature, prolonged exposure to light, air, or elevated temperatures should be avoided. For long-term storage, consider under an inert atmosphere.
