Description

Petunidin Chloride is a natural anthocyanidin compound, a key pigment responsible for vibrant red to purple hues in many plants. This high-purity standard is essential for research and development in color chemistry and natural product analysis. It serves as a critical reference material for analytical laboratories, nutraceutical manufacturers, and the food science industry seeking to standardize and quantify anthocyanin content.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used for the identification, calibration, and quantification of anthocyanins in complex matrices via HPLC, LC-MS, and spectrophotometry.
• Nutraceutical & Cosmetic Research: Investigated for its potential antioxidant properties in the development of dietary supplements and skincare formulations.
• Food Science & Natural Colorants: Serves as a benchmark for studying the stability, color properties, and degradation pathways of natural food dyes.
• Biochemical & Pharmacological Studies: Employed in vitro and in vivo research to explore its bioactivity, metabolism, and health-related mechanisms.
• Plant Biochemistry: Used to study anthocyanin biosynthesis, genetics, and the role of specific pigments in plant physiology and ecology.
• Quality Control: Acts as a primary standard for ensuring the purity and authenticity of anthocyanin-rich extracts in commercial products.

Quality Control

Our Petunidin Chloride is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation via spectroscopy (UV-Vis, MS). We provide a detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) with every shipment, ensuring traceability and compliance with your research or quality specifications.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at 2-8°C under an inert atmosphere (e.g., argon or nitrogen) to minimize oxidation. The container should be kept in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area, away from incompatible materials.
