Description

Malvidin 3-o-Glucoside is a primary anthocyanin pigment responsible for the characteristic red, blue, and purple hues in many fruits and flowers. This compound is highly valued for its potent antioxidant properties and its role as a natural colorant. It is essential for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, food and beverage, and cosmetic industries seeking stable, natural ingredients for functional and coloring applications.

Application

• Natural Food & Beverage Colorant: Used to impart stable red-to-blue shades in juices, soft drinks, confectionery, and dairy products.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Formulated into capsules and tablets for its well-documented antioxidant and potential health-promoting benefits.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Incorporated into skincare formulations for its antioxidant activity and as a natural coloring agent in lipsticks and other makeup.
• Pharmaceutical Research: Serves as a reference standard and active ingredient in research focused on inflammation, metabolic health, and oxidative stress.
• Analytical Standard: Used as a high-purity standard in HPLC and LC-MS for the quantification of anthocyanins in plant extracts and commercial products.
• Functional Food Development: Added to enhance the nutritional profile of health-focused food products.
