Description

Pelargonidin-3-Glucoside Chloride is a naturally occurring anthocyanin pigment, a key compound responsible for red to orange hues in many fruits and flowers. Its significance lies in its potent antioxidant properties and its role as a stable, water-soluble colorant for industrial applications. This high-purity compound is essential for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, food and beverage, and cosmetic industries seeking natural, functional ingredients for product development and research.

Application

• Natural Food & Beverage Colorant: Used to impart stable red and orange shades to juices, soft drinks, confectionery, yogurts, and dairy products.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplement Formulation: Incorporated into capsules, tablets, and powders for its well-documented antioxidant and potential health-promoting benefits.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care Ingredients: Serves as a natural coloring agent and active component in skincare formulations, lipsticks, and other color cosmetics.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Utilized as a reference standard and active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) intermediate in pharmacological studies.
• Biochemical & Diagnostic Reagents: Employed in laboratory research as a substrate or marker in enzymatic and cellular assays.
• Plant & Agricultural Research: Used to study plant pigmentation, genetics, and stress responses.
