Description

Glucobrassicin Potassium Salt is a purified potassium salt derivative of glucobrassicin, a key glucosinolate compound found in cruciferous vegetables. This high-purity reference standard is essential for analytical research, method development, and quality control in the nutraceutical and pharmaceutical industries. It is primarily utilized by researchers and manufacturers focused on plant biochemistry, chemoprevention studies, and the development of standardized botanical extracts.

Application

• Analytical Reference Standard: Used as a primary standard for the quantification of glucosinolates via HPLC, LC-MS, and other chromatographic techniques in research and quality control laboratories.
• Nutraceutical Research: Serves as a critical material in studies investigating the bioavailability, metabolism, and health benefits of cruciferous vegetable compounds.
• Phytochemical Standardization: Employed in the calibration and validation of analytical methods for standardizing broccoli, cabbage, kale, and other brassica extracts.
• Biochemical Research: Used in enzymatic studies related to myrosinase activity and the breakdown of glucosinolates into bioactive compounds like indole-3-carbinol.
• Dietary Supplement Development: Acts as a marker compound for the quality assurance and potency verification of cruciferous-based dietary supplements.
• Academic & Institutional Research: Provides a well-characterized compound for university and government research into plant defense mechanisms and human nutrition.

Quality Control

Our Glucobrassicin Potassium Salt is produced under strict quality management protocols. Each batch undergoes comprehensive analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation (IR, NMR), to ensure it meets the high standards required for research and development. A Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing specific results for purity, residual solvents, and heavy metals is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry place at 2-8°C. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent degradation from atmospheric moisture. For long-term storage, consider desiccant use.
