Description

Chlorophyll C is a vital accessory photosynthetic pigment found in various marine algae, including diatoms and dinoflagellates. Its primary commercial value lies in its use as a precise analytical standard and a high-purity biochemical reagent for research and quality control. This compound is essential for laboratories and manufacturers in the nutraceutical, food colorant, and life science sectors who require definitive pigment analysis and standardization.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Primary use for the identification and quantification of algal pigments in environmental and oceanographic studies via HPLC.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplement Analysis: Used as a certified standard to assay chlorophyll content and authenticity in spirulina, chlorella, and other algae-based products.
• Food Science Research: Employed in studies investigating the stability, extraction, and color properties of natural pigments in food systems.
• Phycology & Marine Biology: Critical for studying phytoplankton community structure, photosynthetic efficiency, and algal physiology.
• Quality Control (QC) in Manufacturing: Serves as a benchmark for QC labs in industries producing natural colorants or algal biomass.
• Educational & Laboratory Reagent: Used in university and institutional labs for teaching and advanced research in photosynthesis and pigment chemistry.
