Description

6-o-Feruloylglucose is a specific phenolic acid ester, a natural product derived from the conjugation of ferulic acid and glucose. This compound is valued for its role as a key intermediate and marker in the biosynthesis of plant cell wall components like lignin and as a source of bioactive ferulic acid. It is primarily sought by researchers and manufacturers in the phytochemical, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical development sectors for its antioxidant properties and utility in biochemical studies.

Application

• Phytochemical Reference Standard: Used as a high-purity analytical standard for the identification and quantification of phenolic compounds in plant extracts and herbal products.
• Nutraceutical Research: Investigated as a precursor or active component in dietary supplements for its potential antioxidant and anti-inflammatory bioactivity.
• Biochemical Pathway Studies: Serves as a crucial intermediate in research focused on phenylpropanoid metabolism and lignin biosynthesis in plants.
• Cosmeceutical Development: Explored in skincare formulations for its potential to deliver stabilized ferulic acid, known for its skin-protective effects against UV radiation.
• Food Science & Analysis: Used in studies analyzing ferulic acid derivatives in cereals, grains, and other fiber-rich foods to assess nutritional quality.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Potential use as a building block or starting material in the synthesis of more complex pharmaceutical agents.

Quality Control

Our 6-o-Feruloylglucose is produced and handled under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A detailed Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided with every shipment, documenting key parameters such as assay, related substances, and residual solvents.

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 hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which may affect stability and purity.
